President Mckinley had been dead four
years when his namesake entered the
House. soon after which the latter's great
executive ability was appreciated by his
party members in Congress, who selected
him for chairman of the republican con-
gressional campaign committee when
James s. Sherman relinQuiShed that re-
sponsible position to take the nomination
for the vice presidency. This was no
small compliment, since Mr.. Sherman
had had nineteen years experience as a
congressman when he was selected for
the Craftsmanship, while Mr.. Mckinley
was in only his second term when chosen
for that Office. which demands the keen
est perspicuity and the broaGest knowl-
edge of politics.
The general of the democratic forces
is James T. Lloyd of Missouri, who has
been in Congress eight years longer
than has his chief opponent. although
eleven months younger. Chairman
Lloyd taught school and served as
county prosecutor before coming to the
House.
Each congressional committee is COM
posed of one congressman of its faith
from each state-either a senator or
representative. who is selected every
two years. After the committeeman
have been selected they elect their own
chairman. vice chairman. secretaries
and other officers, the higher offices
being generally filled from among their
own members. Jas. A. Tawney of Min

that both the republican and demo-

practical running of the campaign to
their fellow partisans in the House.

In such an event President Taft
from December. 1911. until the end OF
his term would have to send messages
to a hostile House which would ignore
his advice on partisan measures and
industriously enact partisan measures
of their own for him to veto. The neces-
sary appropriation bills would slip
through by virtue of compromises, but
only the barest necessities in the way
of cash would probably be allowed.
Then at the end of the mix-up the
President and the House would blame
each other for the stagnation and the
people would have to puzzle out the
answer for themselves when they went TO
the polls in November. 1912.

From Jarvis Section" in which Mrs. Fiske and
the late Barney McCauley made such notable
success few years ago, will be the attraction
at The Opera House Tuesday evening, Au-

will be worthy of the play and that the per-

Several high-class specialties will be introduce
ed throughout the action of the play and a
splendid orchestra will render popular and
standard selections. Prices rs, IS and so
cents. 1.-The Final Settlement drama of to-
day, will be the attraction at the Belfast Opera
House on Thursday evening September LIST,
for one night only. This will be the first pres
entation of the play in this city. 1t is quite
melo-dramatic, with strong vein of good
comedy. The story deals with the early strug-
giles of young foreman in one of the mills of
great iron corporation. Through an accident
he is raised to the position of president of the
corporation. His suddenly acquired wealth and
position, and the allurements of life in the
fast social set in which he moves, cause him to
renounce the wife of his youthful struggles
and privations and to seek companonship in
the person of beautiful actress, whom he be-
lieves better qualified for the exacting demands
society would make upon the wife of man of
his exalted commercial position and wealth.
His subsequent ruin, and his final rescue at the
hands of the wife of his youth, form the basis
of the melo-d drama. The company presenting
the play is strong one, is now playing the
big city line, and the production is in every
way qualified to give the theatre goer good
evenings entertainment. Seats on sale at the
box Office.

Beet Sugar News.

Figures compiled by the Great
Western Sugar company indicate that
the best crop this fall will be worth
to the farmers approximately $4.125 :
900, and a like amount will be paid for
labor and supplies, making $s,25O,O00
to be distributed by the sugar in
terests.
The best crop has begun to move to
the several factories in the state.
Some factories are already slicing,
and the plants in northern Colorado,
the last to get under way, will begin
their campaign Oct. 10. 1t is esti-
mated that Colorado's crop this year
will amount to 100000 tons. Manu-
factured into sugar it will produce
about 15O,00O,O0O pounds. or about
enough to supply the people of Den
yer for a year.
The San Luis Valley Beet Sugar
company has been organized with
capital of $1,5O0,OO0 to build factory
said this concern will be independent
The capacity of the new factory will
be 600 tons per day, and it will be
ready to handle next falls crop.
There are 1000 acres OF virgin
ground in beets in the Pleasant Val
ley Immediately northeast of Greeley,
averaging better than the beets grown
in the older district Some of the
newer ground will yield % tons of
beets to the acre this year. AS the
company is paying s. per ton for the
beets, this indicates a gross return OF

Government Can Increase Price.

Denyer.-When the federal Con-
gress, back in the year 1873, faced the
problem of getting rid of coal lands in
the Rocky mountain region, it was
the consensus of opinion. at least in
the Senate, that the coal lands ought
to be sold for prices varying from $40
to $40 an acre. So the secretary of
the interior was authorized to sell
those lands at prices mot less than
SO an acre" for lands more than 15
miles Of a railway, and mot less than
$40 an acre" for lands within Is
miles of railroad.
On the basis of that congressional
action, taken more than quarter Of a
century ago, two gentlemen contend
ed Saturday in the United States Dis
trict Court in Denver that they had a
right even now to buy coal lands from
the federal government at $40 an
acre. They were mistaken. Willis
Van Deryanter, United States circuit
judge, sat with Judge Lewis in the
Federal Court, and it was Judge Van
Dervanter who delivered the opinion
of the court.
