ROuT7 COUNTY
IRRIGATION PROJECT
Several Thousand Acres Of
Land to Be Put Under Wa.
ter by Denver and Gree
ley Capitalists
CREATING INTEREST

The following special to the Denver
papers appeared from Greeley on Mon
day of this week. Ii shows the efforts
being made to bring another section OF
the western slope to the front. The
special said:
outside of immediate home projects
no enterprise for the development OF
the state is arousing more interest Ii
this region than the irrigation project
in Routt county, by which 25O,O0O acres
are to be brought under cultivation
With Greeley and Denver men as stock
holders and with many Weld county
farmers gaining land interests under the
proposed irrigation system, much inter
est attaches to the report of the chief
consulting engineer, +. L. Baker, who
returned home today.
Baker, who for 40 years has been en-
gagged in building bitches and reservoirs
in this district, says that practically all
of the preliminary surveying is done
and that the system will be supplied
from Ely river and its tributaries.
Recent work of the surveying crew
has been concerned with feeders 10
carry water into the big Columbus res.
ervoir planned. This is situated about
40 miles from Craig. 1t is expected TO
begin construction work next year.
Aside from the mammoth Columbus res
-ervoir, there will be several other large
ones, and the entire length of bitches
will easily reach 400 miles
Among the many Denver men inter
este in the development of the propo
sition are s. S. Kennedy and David
Wyatt, who formerly resided in Gree
ley. The former owned and operated
the first flour mill here and the latter
was Weld county stockman and farm
er for years.
Engineer Baker reports that the
country along the Elk river is now one
of the greatest hay producing regions
known. Great meadows of timothy ex
ist there and hay can be purchased at
s. a ton. All kinds of grain flourish
abundantly and potatoes give good
yields.

SUGAR FACTORIES
ARE SWAMPED
Thousands of Tons of Beets
Will Be Piled On Ground
to Await Cutting by
Various Factories
ST PER TON RECEIVED

A dispatch from Greeley. sent out
Monday of this week, shows that the
farmers of that section of the state ar,
going to reap harvest from their beets
this season. The price for beets in the
northern section is based on the quality
of the beets. The more sugar they con
tain, the higher the price paid by the
company, thus it is that some of the
farmers are receiving as high as 81 per
ton for their product. If the beets are
of poor quality, the price is lower.
The Greeley dispatch said:
Beginning tomorrow, all restrictions
are removed by the Great Western Su-
gar company limiting the tonnage of
beets which the growers may haul to
the sugar factory daily. From now on
farmers may send as much as they wish
to tho factory or the beet dumps and
Pile the crop on the ground at the sta
tons If there are no ears to receive
them. The weather is now cold enough
to keep the crop. During the next two
weeks every team in the county will be
pressed into service in order to get tho
crop from the ground, and the unusual
ly large yield will test tue capacity of
the three sugar factories for ut least
10 days, it is said
The Windsor factory ground 966 tons
of beets in "a hours yestreday, which is
the record made by any sugar mill of
600 ton capacity. The Eaton factory
has supplemented its usual water supply
with additional water and there is no
danger now of the factory shutting
down. The Greeley factory has made
record run turning out an average of
10 tons of sugar every 81 hours. Al
bert Schmid, living one mile from Fort
Lupton, harvested a crop yielding %
tons an acre, bringing him $6.25 ton
Another big Grip was taken from the
field of Layton Schribble near Auburn
which averaged 30 tons an acre and
tested to bring 81 a ton The average
tonnage over the district will be about
10 tons to the acre with about tn.
same percentage of sugar.

SUGAR PRICES FORCED DOWN

Denver, Oct. 20.-The Great Western
Sugar company and the American
Beet Sugar company cut the price OF
beet sugar % cents per hundred
pounds Wednesday.
This is taken as an indication of th=
warfare to be made by the beet sugai
industry on the cane sugar interests
more commonly known as the trust
which, through John Arbuckle, has an
nounced its intention to fight before
the next congress for the removal OF
all duty on sugar, for the purpose, us
C. C. Hamlin recently intimated, OF
driving the beet sugar industry out OF
trolled.
1t now remains for the retailer to
carry out the reduction and let the
consumer know that there is one in
dustry ready to reduce the cost of liv'
ing. AS has been stated before, if It
had not been for the sugar trust the
price Of this commodity would not
have been forced up to the present
high figure.
According to c. s. Morey the price
of beet sugar is ~ cents higher per
hundred than it was last fall and the
price of cane sugar is cents above
that. According to Morey the high
price of sugar is not due to an effort
on the part of the manufacturers to
boost prices.
"Arbuckle has tried to induce the
other manufacturers to raise prices a
short time ago by raising the price OF
his own cane sugar; that the American
sugar refneries company and the beet
sugar companies refused to follow and
Arbuckle had to come down. SAID
Morey.

Provisioning the Camp.

The provisioning of Camp keycs for
the 10-days tour of duty is no small
matter as will be seen from the fol-
lowing list of the provisions taken 70

Beef, 1000 pounds; plates corned
beef. 1900 pounds; bacon, 800 pounds:
winter lamb. 700 pounds; beans. $50

575 pounds; butter, 900 pounds:
candles, 1850 pounds; cheese, 800
pounds; coffee. $50 pounds; cucumber
pickles, 500 pounds; tea. IS pounds;
milk, 400 quarts; rice. 30 pounds.
boiled ham. 1850 pounds; canned corn,
$50 cans; peaches, 1886 cans: aprcots.

100 pounds; salt. 150 pounds; SOAP
$50 bars; sugar, 1900 pounds; vinegar.
barrel; flour. $50 pounds; ice. "a
tons; doughnuts, $4,000.
1t is estimated that the cost of pro-
visioning the camp this year will be
about $1,000 less than two years ago
and Notwithstanding this fact the men
have Jared better, the food has been
better cooked and the camp has been
freer from disease than ever before.
This change has been largely
brought about by the use of the regu
lar army system of feeding, which re-
duces the waste to a minimum.
Whereas in past years the meats were
issued cut, they are now issued whole.
pork has beer cut out entirely from
the rations. and at Camp Keyes only
one issue of lamb will be given instead
of two as in previous years. Not
nearly as much milk is used this year
as in previous years. from the fact
that, instead of being charged to the
expense of subsistence. it is charged to
the companies and the men are only
drawing what they actually need.
In former camps. doughnuts and
brown bread We're issued in whatever
quantities the companies might desire
now they are only taking what they
think they can get by on and keep
within their allotment Many of the
companies during the first five days
of the camp have succeeded in keep
ing within their allotment of 30 cents
day per man for subsistence and
still have Jared very well and propose
to do it for the remainder of the
camp. This manner of handling the
subsistence problem gives the COM
pany cook and quartermaster sergeant
excellent training in figuring out the
cost of living from day To day. SO
we'll have some of them already learn
ed their lesson that they will I'M
doubtedly be able to give their wives
some very valuable points when they
return Home from Camp Reyes

NEW EDUCATION.
Children of 4 Know Three RS Ac
cording To New System.


Reviewing the book by DIR. Boris Sidis
touching the mental development of his
own boy, points out the actual practical
work that is being done among some of
the children of Rome by DIR. Maria Mon
tessori She is not only saying but prov
ing that the average child can be taught
more easily and at much earlier age
than present pedagogical systems allow
She has, for example, cultivated the sense
of touch more highly as an aid to the
little learners of the things in this cram
full world of ours. The teacher, further
more, as by Froebels system. refrains as
far as possible from giving instruction.
The child is led to find out things for
himself. the means to self-instruction be-
ing put into his hands. The freedom of
the child in school is another advantage
over the more formal methods and me-
chancal aids to teaching that illus
trate what the teacher means and abbre-
viate explanations. Silence and patience
are said to be the two watchwords of the
Montessori work Writing comes before
reading in the system, and children of
four and five have learned to write and
read and the rudiments of arithmetic
achievements that have heretofore waited
till the age of seven or eight. They have
done this with the delight of children at
their favorite sports.-Manchester, n. H.

The Observation-Disclosures STAFF with
Sergeant Sehweitzer and Cook Leyor
of the Regular Army, are occupying
three of the new square pyramid
tents, which are to take the place of
the old conical wall tents. AS fast as
the old tents are condemned the new
ones issued will be of the square pyra-

These tents give much more room
than the old tents, on account of the
walls being square instead of circu-
lar, and where 109 of the Sibley tents
are used for the Regiment. undoubted-
ly a third of the number of the new
model would easily replace them.
The tents will accommodate 10 cots

nearly a whole company could bunk in
the tents, No directions came for
putting up the new tents and the

STOPS BABY'S CHATTING.

No matter how careful mother or
nurse may be, it's impossible to pre-
vent baby's tender skin from getting
chafed unless she dusts all the folds
and surfaces that rub together, with
a healing toilet powder.
Common taleums are not suitable,
as their perfume is irritating. Trained
nurses use Comfort Powder because
it both heals and soothes, making baby
comfortable at once. 1t even cures
rashes, eczema, and torturing skin
hamsrs, yet is harmless, and delight
full. See that signature of E. S. Sykes
is on the box you buy.
