MISUNDERSTANDING the hardships
imposed upon their employees by the
constantly increasing cost of living the
five big bituminous coal operators OF
Colorado have granted their miners
substantial wage increase, represent
ing yearly advance in the wage dis
tribution Of approximately $1,00O,OO0.
The advance dates from April l.
The following companies, it is un-
derstood, have entered into an agree
nfent to participate in the increase:
The Rocky Mountain Fuel Company.
the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company,
the National Fuel, Company. the Vic,
tor American Fuel Company and the
Consolidated Coal & Coke Company.
Twelve thousand miners employed

Las Animas Sugar Factory to Ru

Las Animas.-The outlook for the
beet crop in Bent county this year is
by far the best of any previous year
The weather conditions thus far have
been so favorable toward this sugar
product that 1t leads one to believe
that the tonnage an acre will be great
er than ever before. The high price
paid on this years contract by the
American Beet Sugar Company for
beets has induced many who hereto
fore would not sign contracts to grow
beets. That the Las Animas factory
will be in operation this fall is now an
assured fact, as the company has sew
eral hundred more signed up by the
farmers than is required. The Ameri-
can Beet Sugar Company has near $l'-
100000 Invested in the Las Animas su-
gar factory. 1t is equipped with the
latest and most modern machinery OF
any factory in the valley, and has ca
pacity of 700 tons of beets a day. The
local factory was established here In
1907 and handled the beets OF this
district during three successful cam
paigns following, since which time, ow'
ing to climatic conditions, it has not
been possible for the company TO Sc
cure tonnage enough to justify It's op'

Homestead Bill Includes all Claims.

Washington.-That the Borah three
year homestead bill, If enacted into
law as it passed the House, would be
interpreted by the General Land Office
as applicable to all pending homestead
entries, including those under the 320-
acre act, was made clear at meeting
of the conferees on the Borah meas
ure.
In answer to the direct question of
Representative Mondell, the secretary
of the interior told the committee that
unquestionably if the Borah bill, as it
passed the House was enacted into
law, he would consider it's terms suf-
ficiently definite to apply to all pend
ing homesteads, including the enlarged
homestead.
During the general discussion it de-
veloped that considerable pressure
would be exerted to have the commit
tee agree to the amendments rejected
by the House, rcserving mineral and
water-power sites and certain timbered
areas. While the House conferees are
opposed to these amendments, from
what developed at the hearing it
seems reasonably certain that the Sen
ate conferees may insist on amending
the bill to at least partially meet the
suggestions of the secretary. The
committee will hold another session in
a week or ten days.

WASHING GToN.

The 100000 appropriation for the
completion of the Denver postoffice
that passed the Senate will not pass
the House. 1t is reported.
The Senate passed the Esch-Hughes
House bill to put prohibitive tax up
on the manufacture or Importation OF
white phosphorus matches.
The House passed, 173 to II, a bill
creating a children's bureau in the de-
partment of commerce and labor. The
measure already had been passed by
the Senate and 1t will now go to the
President for his action.
Senator Smoot introduced bill,
framed by the Interior Department.
which proposes a repeal of the APEX
mining law" The proposed law limits
the ownership of vein to the area
embraced within the boundary lines Of
the claim in which it is found.
The House interstate and foreign
commerce committee reported favor
ably a bill to amend the law giving
the Interstate Commerce Commission
authority over express companies. Pro-
vision would be made for rate zones,
the charges varying according to the
distance the package was carried from
the point of origin.
The rate laws and orders in Mis-
souri,, Kentucky. West Virginia, Ore
gon. Minnesota. Arkansas and Ohio
will stand or fall by the decision Of
the Supreme Court to be handed down
soon. Rate orders in practically every
state will be swept out of existence
II the court finds that the orders and
laws now in question burden interstate
commerce.
President Taft's answer to the
Lodge resolution calling for informa-
tion as to the reported establishment
by Japan of a naval base on Magda-
lena bay in Mexico is designed to set
at rest the constant rumors of Jap
anese colonization in North America
and is distinct blow at the bugaboo
of war with Japan. President Taft
submitted to Congress message in
which he made strong recommends
tions bearing upon greater efficiency
and economy in the methods used in
transacting public business of the va
rious executive departments and other
governmental establishments.
