In connection with the visit of school
teachers to Boston, a New York and a
Boston merchant became involved in
an animated discussion of the charms
and advantages of their home cities.
AS the discussion waxed warm, a third
party suggested that whichever of the
two men could write in ten minutes

his pencil and made strokes on the
paper, the Boston man wrote as fol-

than any other city in the world, and
It's investment has built up civiliza-
ton and prosperity in every state of
the Union and almost every land on the
globe.

The following news item is sent
as special from Rocky Ford to
the Chieftain under date of Oct.

Twenty thousand dollars were
distributed among the 500 en-

It is confidently expected that
the sugar beet season of 1911 will
witness the delivery to the Monte
Vista sugar factory of a splendid
tonnage Of high class sugar beets,
and the expenditure of large
sum of money in the way of wages
to the employees of the factory and
the farmers who raise the beets.
To this end the progressive bust
ness men of this city are lending
all possible aid in the way of
moral and financial support.
Last week this newspaper print
ed story of some length upon the
actual progress Of the project up
to date, and what was hoped for in
the way of local support.
1t is with pleasure that we are
enabled to report in this issue that
the soliciting committee has met
with pronounced success, and with
but little effort have secured $780,
GOO out of the 100000 asked for,
nor have they concluded their
labors by any means.
In a long distance telephone
communication with Mr.. Hoover
Friday morning, that gentleman
said matters of the Sugar company
were materialixing in Denver to
their complete satisfaction, and
that he in company with Mr.. F. f.

A few days ago, a Mr.. Speer,
sub-contractor for the Larrowe d

ing of a sugar mill at Paulding,
Ohio, was in Monte Vista looking
over local conditions, especially the
contour Of the country adjacent to
this place, and the quality of the
brick and other building materials
which could be secured here.
Advising with NJ. Brady regard
ing local conditions, Mr.. Speer
stated that it had been his desire
to accept, on payment Of his SER
vices in connection with the Paul.

company, but the board Of direct
ors maintained there was no stock
on the market and preferred to
settle in cash. He further said
that, from his experience, he re-

every possible opportunity in that
