Luis Valley Beet Sugar Co., in
this part of the valley, we are
enabled to give the figures of the
amount of beet contracts secured
to date, (Feb. 15) and the names of
those who will engage in beet
raising the coming season.
Mr.. Carr has secured contracts
for nearly 1000 acres, an increase
of two-thirds over the total acre
age in this territory last year, and
he expects to add many more acres
before the close of the contracting
season.-La Jara Enterprise.

CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY

In celebration of the 46th ami
versary of the birth of the order of
the knights of Pythias, Solon
Lodge No. as extended an invita-
ton to the members and their
ladies to join in the enjoyment of
a musical entertainment at the
lodge rooms, which was followed
by banquet.
Musical numbers of marked ex-
cellence we're given by local musi-
clans, interspersed with readings,
and vocal selections.
Following the music, the gallant
Knights escorted their ladies to the
banquet hall where tables arranged
in the form of wedge served to
remind the brave of steps once
taken that cannot be retraced.
When the company was seated, the
orchestra rendered "Collyer
Waltzes," and viands served in the
pink of perfection were partaken
of by as felicitous a party as ever
assembled.
Under the careful direction of
Toastmaster l.. B. Sylvester, who
had nothing else to do, toasts were
responded to by various Knights,
creating much merriment. The
affair will long be remembered.

PEA CANNING PLANT

Messrs. Leonard, Frank and
Baker of Chicago, addressed a
number of our citizens Tuesday on
the subject of pea growing and
canning. Mr. Leonard is a seed
man and the other gentlemen are
interested in canning plants.
There are three successful can
ming plants in northern Colorado
and these men are of the opinion
that the San Luis valley is es-
pecially adapted to pea culture. A
pea suitable for canning requires
variety where the peas all ripen at
about the same time. This is
obvious to anyone, as a ripe pea
and half grown, green pea could
not be used for canning.
1t seems probable that there
will be some experiments this year
in growing peas suitable for can
ming, with a view of later estab-
fishing canning plant here.
Dispositions were being taken
in Monte Vista Wednesday to be
used in a suit against the Button
Land Co. which will be tried in
the federal court. The plaintiff in
the suit claims to have been swim
died in the purchase of the Fullen-
wider section out in the alkali belt
and seeks to recover damages.
The Button company claim this
land can be drained at $3.50 to
$2.75 per acre. W. W. Reilly, an
expert, was called by the plaintiff
and testified this land cannot be
properly drained for less than SO
per acre.
Chas. Hatton left Tuesday for
his new home in San Francisco,
Cal. Mr.. Hatton has been secre-
tary of the Commercial club of
Monte Vista for several years and
is well known over Rio Grande
county.
Attorney General Griffith has
been selected by the Roosevelt
national committee as the Colorado
representative of the organization
and has accepted the position.
John Gerteison Jr., of Alamosa
was tried before Justice White for
over speeding. He was found
guilty and fined $40 and costs.
He will probably appeal.
John Woods of Holdrege Neb.,
arrived in Monte Vista Wednesday
morning on business trip, and a
