The worm on the sugar beet is no
longer a proposition that can be
sidestepped or ignored. For weeks
the little beast, which is about an
inch long when full grown, has been
seen at work but the optimistic re-
fused TO believe that much damage
would be done. But now comes the
report from the j. C, Hubbard ranch
in the Big Bend country of eighty
acres ruined, from the Winslow ranch
of forty acres damaged, and heavy |
losses on the G. w. Coffman ranch, |
the Steele, the Hill. the Lyon places |
and others in that district. Farmers
are lighting the worm with Paris
green but are making little headway.
The following description of the
worm was furnished by a rancher
who is a graduate of the State Nor
NAL school: The worm is so small at
first as to be practically invisible.
1t begins work on the under side OF
the leaves and eats its way through
to the upper surface. 1t grows rap
idly and when mature is an inch in
length and about the thickness of
straw. 1t is dark green with white !
stripes and is hatched from the eggs |
of large moth. The moths are very |
thick this year. Their wings are of !,
dusty miller" but underneath are
red and black. The moth is much
larger than the ordinary miller AS
many as seventy worms have been
counted on one good sized beet plant.
They quickly strip the plant of its
leaves and then attack the crown of |
the beet. And when the crown is |
injured the beet is gone
So far the trouble seems to be |
chiefly confined to the districts south |
of Greeley. although Lagrange is
having troubles of its own. A. w.
Atkinson of that place has twenty-one
acres in bad shape and John Emer-
son has twenty-five that are about
done for Other ranches in the same
district are infested
From Pleasant Valley north in
Guiding the Ault and Eaton farming
lands there are no traces of the
worm.
From Peckham comes the report
that the worms that devastated fields
earlier in the season have, for some
reason, disappeared and in their place

Magnificent Monument to Be Erected
on the Hudson's Banks at New York
Will Be of.the Finest Marble-Mark
Twain Compares 1t to the Coliseum.
Robert Fultons genius is to be hon
ored by $2,500000 memorial to be
erected on Riverside drive, between
One Hundred and Fourteenth and One
Hundred and Sixteenth streets, in New
York Within the mausoleum, which
is to form the centerpiece of the pro-
posed monument, will be reinterred the
bones of Fulton, there to repose for
ever
In. the solid rock Of the hillside will
be built this magnificent tribute to the
inventor Of the steamboat. Viewed
from the Hudson, the monument is ex-
pected to be without a peer in the
world for natural and architectural
beauty
The enthusiasm of the men who are
planning this costly work is attested
by the fact that $4,000 for the pre-
liminary expenses was subscribed by
thirty men in as many minutes. They
are members Of the Robert Fulton
Monument association.
Consent cf Descendants Given.
A beautiful water gate will grace the
entrance to the tomb. Already the
minds Of the greatest architects in the
United States are devising plans for
the monument. The preliminary sets
of drawings are to be submitted be-
fore Nov 25 next.
The Robert Fulton Monument asso-
citation recently received the approval
of the plan by the living descendants
of Robert Fulton. The letter which
grants the association permission to
disinter the body Of the inventor and
place it in the proposed tomb is ad-
dressed to Cornelius Vanderbilt, presi-
dent of the association, and reads as
follows:
We are in receipt of your courteous
communication outlining the plan OF your
association to erect a monument in honor
of Robert Fulton, and we assure you that
the project has our hearty approval and
interest
Robert Fulton was a patriot and fire.
quently demonstrated his ardent love for
his country. It is therefore source OF
qualification to his descendants that the
people of the United States desire to con-
fer upon his memory this centennial trib-
ute in public recognition of his achieve
ment.

beg to express our entire sympathy and
cooperation with the work of the asso-

part of our hard lot In life, and we
learned to take the torture philosoph-
ically.
From the eighty-seventh to the
eighty-eighth parallel we passed for
two days over old ice without pressure
lines or hummocks. There was no dis
cernible line Of demarcation for the
fields. and it was quite impossible to
determine If we were on land or sea
ice. The barometer indicated no ele-
vation, but the ice had the hard, wav-
ing surface of glacial ice. with only
superficial crevasses. The water OBJ
tanned from this was not salty. but all
of the upper surface Of the ice Of the
polar sea makes similar water. The
nautical observations did not seem to
indicate drift, but nevertheless the
combined tabulations do not warrant
the positive assertion Of either land or
sea for this area.
The ice gave cheering prospect. A
plain Of purple and blue ran in easy
undulations to the limits of vision

from it's present resting place in the Liv-
ingston vault Of Trinity church, New
York, that it may be placed with appro-
pirate ceremony in the tomb to be erected
as his monument by the American people.
This letter is signed by Robert Full
ton Crary. Charles Franklin Crary,
Ella Crary Grammar and Robert Full
ton Ludlow.
For the past three years the Robert
Fulton Monument association has been
quietly perfecting the preliminary plans
for this memorial which is intended
to be national ornament. The water
gate will extend 300 feet into the Hud-
son river Marble steps will lead up
from the waters edge to the tomb in
the center.
To Be Made of the Finest Marble.
On one side of the tomb will be
erected a nautical museum to contain
models of all kinds Of nautical craft.
On the other side will be constructed
a reception hall for the use of the army
Guiding the buildings. will be made
of the finest marble Fountains and
marble statues will beautify the edifice
The members of the association have
contributed over $4,000 for the prelim
mary work and legislation. The state
and the city of New York have given
their consent to the use of the land
and water
Compared to the Coliseum.
Mark Twain, the vice president of
the association, has written President
Vanderbilt a letter in regard to the
proposed monument in which he says:
Like the Coliseum, this water gate will
be unique It will have no duplicate, no
rival, no competitor. Like the Coliseum,
1t will be the city's chiefest architectural
feature and the stateliest, and, also like
the Coliseum, it will last through a life
period not estimable in years, but only in
centuries and ages. And, indeed, this is
as it should be.
FL. W Dearborn, who as assistant
secretary is in charge Of the Office of
the association, said:
$50 far the entire preliminary ex-
pense has been paid by the members
Of the association. Later on, after the
design for the monument has been
adopted, the public will be given
chance to contribute money for the
building of the monument. We are
assured. however. that the money Will
not be wanting when it Is needed

the benefactor Of the expedi-
ton. AS we passed north of this land
there was nothing substantial upon
which to fix the eye.
There was at no time a perfectly
clear horizon, but the weather was
good enough to permit frequent nauti-
cal observations.
Thus day after day the marches
were forced, the incidents and the po-
sitions were recorded, but the adven-
lures were promptly forgotten in the
mental bleach of the next days effort.
The night of April was made notable
by the swing Of the sun at midnight.
For a number of nights it made grim
faces at us in it's setting. A teasing
mist, drawn as curtain over the
northern sea at midnight, had given

but the last display was invariably a
face-distorted faces of men or ami
mails were made to suit our fancy.
We had therefore followed the suns
northward advance-from its first peep
at midday above the south ice of the
polar gateway to it's sweep of the
northern ice at midnight. From the
end of the polar night late in Febru-
ary to the first of the double days and
midnight suns we had forced a trail

camp at latitude sc degrees 36 min

In spite of what seemed like long
marches we had advanced only 106
miles in nine days. Much of our hard
work was lost in circuitouS twists
around troublesome pressure lines and
high. irregular fields of very old ice.
The drift ice was throwing us TO the
east with sufficient force TO give US
some anxiety. but with eyes closed to
danger and hardships the double days
of fatigue and glitter quickly followed
one another.
The temperature. ranging between
SO and 40 degrees below zero F.. kept
persistently near the freezing point of
mercury, and. though the perpetual
sun gave light and color to the cheer
less wastes. we were not impressed
with any appreciable sense of warmth.

IThe Cook expedition was equipped at
Gloucester, Mass, and was ready to start
on July 3, 1907. DIR. Cook and Rudolph
Francke were put ashore at Annootok.
Greenland, with ample stores and during
the winter made preparations for the
polar dash. On Feb. 10. 1908, the main
expedition started for the pole with elev-
en- men, 103 dogs and eleven heavily load
ed sleds. Going a little north of west.
the party on March Is reached the north
ern end of Heiberg island. Here the ex-
pedition divided, six men returning. The
real race to the pole now began On
March Is twenty-six miles were made
and the next day twenty-one. Then two
more of the men returned, leaving only
two young Eskimos to accompany Dr.
Cook, with two loaded sledges and tWen-
ty-six dogs. On March 20 sixteen miles
were covered twenty-nine miles on the
Nst, twenty-five the following day and
afterward for several days an average of
seventeen or eighteen. Near the northern
edge of Grant Land a great open lead was
encountered, which was crossed with
some peril on the young ice. Some days
later after severe storm the ice split
open under the igloo, and DIR. Cook in his
sleeping bag sank into the creyice, being
dragged to safety by the young Eskimos.
The advance was halted by storms, in
one of which the dogs were buried and in
another the men themselves. To the west
a new land, named Bradley Land by
Cook, was sighted, extending from SO de-
grees 20 minutes to SO degrees 81 minutes
and close to the one hundred and second
meridian. DR.. Cooks own account of his
dash from Bradley Land to the pole is
given below.

without the usual barriers of uplifted
blocks. Over it direct air line course
was possible. Progress, however, was
quite as difficult as over the irregular
pack The snow was crusted with
large crystals. An increased friction
reduced the speed, while the surface,
too hard for snowshoes, was also too
weak to give a secure footing. The
loneliness. the monotony. the hardship
of steady. unrelieved travel were now
keenly felt.
It is not often that mans horsepow-
er is put to the test as ours was. We
were compelled to develop a working
energy to the limit of animal capacity.
Day after day we had pushed along
at the same steady pace over plains Of
frost and through mental desert.
AS the eye opened at the end of an
icy slumber the fire was lighted little
by little, the stomach was filed with
liquids and solids, mostly cold-enough
to last for the day, for there could be
no halt or waste Of fuel for midday
feeding. We next got into harness
and paced off the days pull under the
lash of duty. We worked until stand
ing became impossible longer in light
winds, shorter in strong winds. but al
ways until the feet became numb and
heavy.
Then came the arduous task of build
ing a snow house. In this the eyes. no
longer able to wink, closed. but soon
the empty stomach complained. and it
was filed up again-not with things
that pleased the palate. only hard fuel
to feed the inner fires. while the ear
sought the soft side of ice to dispel
fatigue: no pleasure in mental recrea-
ton. nothing to arouse the soul from
it's icy inclosure.
To eat. to sleep, to press one foot
ahead Of the other, was our steady vo-
cation. like the horse to the cart, but
we had not his advantage of an agree
able climate and comfortable stable
at night.
Words and pictures cannot adequate
" describe the maddening influence
of this sameness of polar glitter, COM
bined with bitter winds, extreme cold
and an overworked body. To me there
was always the inspiration of antici-
patton of the outcome of ultimate sue
cess. but for my young savage com
panions it was a torment almost be-
yond endurance. Their WEAKNESS was
made evident by lax use of the whip
and an Indifferent urging of the dogs.
They were, however. brave and faith
full to the bitter end. seldom allowing
selfish ambitions or uncomfortable
passions seriously to interfere with the
main effort of the expedition.
On the morning of April 13 strain
of agitating torment reached a break
ing point. For days there had been
steady cutting wind from the west.
which drove despair to its lowest
reaches.
No torment could be worse than that
never ceasing rush of icy air. Ahwe-
lah bent over his sled and refused to

His dogs turned and looked in
quiringly. I walked over and stood
by his side Etukishuk came near and
stood motionless. staring blankly at the
southern skies. Large tears fell from
Ahwelah's eyes and piled little frost
of sadness in the blue of his own shad-
ow for several minutes. Not word
was uttered. but knew that each felt
that the time had come to free the fet
ters of human passions. Slowly Ahwe-
lah said. ''Unne sinig pa-oo-ah-tonie

Duckie had tended to that. Duckie hadn't for gotten those crawling. filthy years in prison. Duckie hadn't forgot, SO he fixed the straps tight. His head was strapped down tight, too. Then Duck. ie took the iron from me-my hands were trembling so I couldn't hold 1t steady-and held 1t over the gas jet for hours-or. maybe, it was only few minutes. but 1t seemed longer than any time l can remember Then when It was white hot-it hissed when Duckie spit on it--he gave it to Joe to hold-he never let me do anything and went over ard walked Him up. When He tried to get up and found He couldn't I laughed and rolled on the floor. He couldn't get up-we had Him-good old Duckie and Joe and had him. Duckie gagged His mouth.

Then Duckie and Joe and I were standing beside Him as He lay there all t.uiet. and a circle about as big round as a quarter with three up-and-down lines inside it scared on His forehead-and Duckie and were laughing and Joe was sing ing one of his bad songs-well. the Ring of Three had done its work and I was glad, because then Duckie would let me take all the smoke I wanted
 Well. good old Duckie is gone and Joe is gone-nobody to smoke with now but then the smoke is poor now-they put bran in it.

What it Was.

A negro preacher was conducting his flock through York town. and had led them to the government reserva- ton where a tall shaft commentaries the victory of the American and French forces over Cornwallis. One of his disciples pointed to the figure of the Angel of Peace at the summit of the column and asked:
 What might that statue be. Brother Wiiliams?"
 Brother William was stumped, but would never confess it.
 That, brothers and sisters" he said. Ifs a statue of Mass'r Abe Lin coin a-biessing the fruitful fields of ole virginny."
