A BEET SUGAR
FACTORY NEAR
Proposition Before People
of Delta's Beet Crow
ing Territory.
Can Have the Factory if They
Will Subscribe for 100000
of the Capital Stock.-A
Big Thing for Delta.

| At the meeting of the Business Mems
Association Monday night, the matter
of sugar factory for Delta was dis
cussed.
Propositions have been made by
capitalists whose names need not now
be mentioned, but whose reliability is
entirely unqueslioned, to subscribe for
most of the stock and supply capital
necessary for building and operating
the factory, provided home people will
subscribe for $500, 600 of the capital
stock. OF this amount it is said that
ten men have already announced their
willingness to subscribe for S1O0, 900 of
the stock-SIO, 900 each-and it looks
like it should be an easy matter to
secure subscribers for the balance of
the $500, 900.
We understand, of course, that this
proposed factory, will be built and
ready for the 1911 crop. To build
big beet sugar factory is not an under
taking to be completed within a few
months From proposition on paper
to begin with, the work of erecting a
factory and installing machinery would
naturally require about all of the inter
vening time. In fact there would be
just about time enough to do this
provided the matter is not allowed to
drag.
To have sngar factory at Delta is
subject on which the INDEPENDENr has
been continuously hammering for the
past two years. The location is natur-
al and practical. The surrounding
territory can easily grow the beets to
supply factory, so why not have one?
We are at present growing major
portion of the beets which supply sugar
material for the factory at Grand juno
tion. Mesa county claims credit for
all OF that output and blames the Gun
nison and Uncompahgre beet growers
for wanting any share in the credit, or
for desiring some of the benefits which
would accrue from working up their
beet crops in factory at home. This
and some other inconvenience Delta
comfy growers are getting sufficiently
weary of to want factory of their
own. The opportunity is here. or now
seems to have arrived, when they can
get a factory with certain amount of
necessary effort, and some cooperative
and protective help. They should
guard against contracts which would
interfere. and they should go into the
stock subscriptions in the light of a
good investment, determined to stay
with the enterprise in fairness and to
reasonable extent.
The INDEPENDENT knows little of the
proposition, other than that leading
business men seem to have confidence
in it and are taking it up.

Getting Next.

THE Fort Collins Courier" thus
sums up the results achieved by the
Colorado Farmers Congress, and fore
casts the good that may come to the
agricultural industry of the State as
the result Of this meeting:
Now that the conference is closed
and the Farmers Congress, of Colo
RADIO, has been formed, it is well to
note what it has done to bring the
farmres together, and what will be
accomplished in the future. To put it
briefly, the results are these: The
solid backing of the combined farming
interests of Colorado for the College
and the Capitalization of the power of
all the various farming organizations
in one body. 1t requires no argument
to convince one that the conference
has been beneficial. Nothing better
ever has happened to the College than
this cementipg of the agricultural in
terests, with the good of the College
as one Of its chief objects. In future,
IL the College wants anything from the
legislature, the State Board can go to
the advisory board Of the Farmers
Congress and give that body the word
to proceed. There is no force in the
common wealth 30 potent as that of the
farming interests; no body Of men so
commands the respect of the legislator.
When 1t becomes known that the wants
of the voting and working farmers Of
the entire State. we imagine the legis-
lature will be,more inclined to be liberal.
But this is only one side of it. The
greater benefit will come from that
quality of friendship that has its results
in good words spoken everywhere.
This is the thing that will silence criti-
cism, bring more students, and give the
institution the moral support which
has been lacking in the past. Look
ing at the conferepce from the larger
standpoint, its permanent organization
means much Of benefit to the farm
ers, because it brings together the
livestock man and the horticultural,
the beekeeper and the poultry raiser,
the member Of the grange and the
farmers union advocate; in short, it

WORkMEN MEET
DEATH IN TUNNEL
Nine Overcome by Deadly
Gases in a Very Un-
usual Accident.
Men Flee for Their Lives Toward
Tunnel Opening, but Gases
Cause Hemorrhages, and
Men Soon Expire.

Death overcame nine workmen in the
Gunnison tunnel Sunday, the result of
poisonous gases being blown along the
drift from shots fired where the work
of enlargement was in progress.
The case is chronicled as an unusual
accident, yet one which seems so possi
be that it ought to have been guarded
against.
The shots We're fired at point two
miles from the portal and the gases
were expected TO escape through All air
shaft at no great distance away. The
men had retired a few hundred feet
back from where the shots had been
drilled in, in order to be out of danger
from the blasts. An advance air cur
rent caught the powder smoke and drove
it back toward the men, who, as soon
as they felt themselves enveloped, be-
gan two mile race against suffocation
to the mouth of the tunnel. In this
race an electric car was finally over
taken and they were aided to fresh air,
but seven of them were so overcome by
the gases that their deaths ensued, the
weight of heavy air on their lungs
causing hemorrhages. Had SO small
matter as having the electric car in
readiness been attended to, all might
have escaped without serious injury
The Gunnison tunnel has, during its
building caused the death of twenty
'onE people m -accidents-cuvrring the
four years of its building.
The following extracts concerning the
tragedy are from the Montrose Daily
fress:
The tradegy is most stunning in the
deadly insidolsness with which the
poisonous gas slowly but surely sapped
the life from those who inhaled it.
Yesterday Purden was apparently so
far recovered that he was able to eat
a good dinner. In the early afternoon
he began to sink and at 1925 last night
he died. The others have been affected
the same way. 1t is the most peculiar
experience with which local physicians
have ever had to grapple. 1t is thought
that the high percentage of nitric acid
in the powder smoke caused the gas to
be so poisonous as to make it impos-
sible for the men who had inhaled any
very great quantity of it to survive its
toxic effects"
"A hero who looms large in the great |
sorrow which has stricken the COM
munity is Father {. F. O'Farrell, who |
needed the call of distress Sunday
night and faced dangerous journey
thru the tunnel that he might be in
time to administer the last consolation
to the dying men. Father O'Farrell
made the trip thru the tunnel on an
electric tram early Sunday evening,
and remained at the bedside of the
men practically all night. He had
barely returned to Montrose yesterday
when he was summoned to River Portal
again to attend Purden, who was fast
passing to the beyond. Father O'Far-
rell remained at Purden's S bedside until
the end came"
The names of the dead to date are:
Parker Patten, N. Martin, John C.
Hagen, A. S. Haynes, c. ]. McMurray,
3. E. Pruden, Casey Warren, Ed
Haines and C. j. Mccormick. Mr.. Nc
Sormick was from Cedaredge.
