Practically all of the tillable land

depend upon the scientific cultiva-

RI N NER FOR
A HOTEL
FINED

Under the pseudonym OF John Doe,
TIE solicitor for the Healy hotel was
tried in the police court this morning
on the charge of assault and battery.
The complaint was sworn to by IN
Melo. a fellow competitor for hotel
guests representing the Windsor ho-
tel. 1t was alleged that the first
named hotel solicitor infringed upon
the latter's territory and that when
the complainant demonstrated with
the defendant, he was struck and
knocked down.
The testimony given showed that
the men had had trouble before re-,
Garding the line of demarkation be-
tween the two hotels. and that harsh
words and assaults had ensued. The
line in question lies midway OF Twen-
ty-hith street, on Wall avenue, facing
the Union depot. and it appeared In
the evidence that. on July the
Healy man, John Doe. stepped over
the line toward the Windsor territory.
Melo, the Windsor man, called the de-
fendant bad names and the latter
Showed him away" The showing was
rather harsh and the old gentleman
lost his balance, to the extend that he
fell to the pavement and skinned
his arm"
The court advised John Doe that he
had better not undertake to take the
law into his own hands hereafter, and
that IL there were any disputes re-
garding boundary lines. that the mat
ter had better be settled In court He
was sentenced to pay fine of SIS.

SUGAR bEETS
ARE PROMISING

While the late planting OF sugar
beets and the excessively dry season
have had a tendency TO retard some

the officers OF the sugar company
state that there is no reason for any.
thing but optimistic feeling for the
sugar output.
Nearly the same acreage as in for
mer years has been planted but the
tonnage is not expected to be so large
as heretofore The percentage of
saccharine that the beets OF this year
viii contain cannot be ascertained un-
til the beets are far enough along to
give them a test but 1t is thought by
beet raisers and those Of the sugar
company who have expressed them
selves. that in all likelihood the per
oentage Of sugar Will be little above
the average This being true. the SUI
gar output will be as great as in for
mer years.
1t is admitted by all that there Is a
scarcity OF water all over the country
this year but Weber county is far moro
fortunate than other districts In this
regard and it Is not anticipated by
the farmers that there will be any
very great losses because of a lack OF
water in this section of the country.
The fruit crop is going to come up to
the average, and 1t is the contention
of the beet men that there will not oe
n material shortage IN sugar produc-
ton this season.

TO be paid off IronsideS had been
working for the company. laying ce-
ment Without knowing exactly how
much work he had done, MIR. Cannon
handed him a check for $50, stating
that he would pay the balance, If
there should be any, as soon as the
work could be measured and turned
In.
Ironsides evidently thought he had
something more coming and inasmuch
as the Glorious Fourth was fast ap-
preaching. he demanded that the sec
retary draw a check for another $50
To this Mr.. Cannon demurred, but,
to enforce the demand IronSides drew
u wicked looking revolver and insisted
that an additional check for $50 be
given instanter At this point Mr..
Cannon was persuaded that wisdom
was the better part OF valor, so he
wrote the other check and graciously
handed it to the cement worker
This morning, in the police court.
Ironsides was arraigned on the charge
of assault with deaGly weapon. He
pleaded guilty and the court sentenc-
ed him to pay fine of $50 or serve
fifty days In the city Jail Ironsides
moved to the desk sergeant's quarters
and turned over one of the O'Neill
Company's checks in payment OF the
fine He missed the Fourth OF July
jollification and Furthermore paid out
$50.
Ironsides says he must have been
drinking when he drew the gun on

A most complex system Is our Am
erican social state but although ev-
cry man does his part, and although
every class Of labor is in a way es-
sential, the farmer is by far the most
important, So great are his produc-
ing powers that, should we at any
time be cut off from intercourse with
the rest of the world, we could with
comfort exist Independently. In fact
our farmers have such advantages
that they fail to realize what they
might do: yes often what they ought
to do. There is not the slightest
doubt but what they should raise the
crops which we most need, and which
at the same time Will yield the best
returns with the least expenditure Off
natural resources. Such q product is
the sugar beet.
We are the greatest sugar conSum-
ing nation on earth: our average an"
nual per capita consumption being
eighty pounds. OF this vast amount
the value Of which is greater than
that of all the wheat exported from
this country, we produce less than
one seventh Were we so disposed,
we might in this valley raise nearly
half OF what the nation needs. There
are some, no doubt, who rather than
try anything new, would be content
for foreign nations to produce our
sugar; but such a spirit Is not In
harmony with American ideals-we
want no makeshift, we want the very
best.
Now the sugar beet may be profit
ol,I - ha
try to the other, and when properly
cultivated the profits to all concern
ed cannot be surpassed by those of
any other crop.
Under the most favorable conditions
the sugar beet made its advent into
the Arkansas valley, which is the
ideal place for beet culture, through
the Oxnards building the plant at
Rocky Ford \ great, broad, fertile
valley in the most desirable OF cli-
mates, and under an extensive sys-
tenn of irrigation. il would indeed be
difficult to imagine better place for
the Industry.
First. there came the experimental
stage. A few progressive farmers
planted small patches. and gave them
the best OF care; the results were
more than pleasing. Factories were
built and in but q few seasons peo-
pie bought and paid for farms with
the hitherto unheard OF profits deriv-
ed from their culture. The country
went beet crazy and every available
acre was planted to this crop without
the least regard to method; Of.
| course a reaction ensued. Men Won
dpred why thew were not successful
and many turned away from the in
dustry in disgust.
