TO Be INDEPENDENT
a /
FORTY THOUSAND ACRES CON.
TRAcTED FOR IN SAN

Western Newspaper Union New. Service,

Durango, Colo.-With the Durango
Independent sugar beet factory great.
ly advanced in the point Of promotion
and independent plants at Brighton
and Greeley being considered under
the Durango plan Of profit sharing,
Ward Darley has allowed to become
public his plan for financing the vari-
Gus plants under his system as fol.
lows:
1t is proposed that the land owners
in the section where the beet sugar
factory is to- be built shall own, con-
troll and operate it. In the first place
the sugar company, absolutely indie.
pendent, will be organized and incor-
porated, and officers and directors
elected by those who have signified
their willingness to take stock in the
company.
This they do by agreeing in writing
to sell to the company parcel OF
land, clear of incumhranee and with
good water right, agreeing further to
take forty per cent of the present val
lie of the land In cash and the balance
in the stock of the company at par
value.
Every farmer 80 agreeing to sell a
portion OF his land will be asked to
place In his local bank deed under
escrow contract, transferring the land
to the company, 1t being in every es.
sential sale under certain condi.
tions that the company must meet and
which will protect the land owner in
his rights. :All the land secured will
be the asset Of the company upon
which the factory is to be financed.
Mr.. Darley will then go East to cap
itallsts who have the money and who
have practically agreed to furnish it II
such plan could be worked out. and
arrange for the purchase Of the bonds
Of the sugar company.
This done, the bonds Of the compa
ny will be issued and signed over tc
the bond buyers; the money for them
will be received, the forty per cent
cash on the land will be paid, the
stock of the sugar company issued for
the balance of payment on the land
! and the balance of the cash received
from the sale of the bonds of the com
pany will be used in erecting the SUI
gar factory and all the necessaries for
It's operation.
Under this arrangement Mr.. Darley
has already obtained the written prom
ises of almost 10000 acres Of land in
the San Juan basin, which insures the
erection of the Durango plant under
his system. 1t is the intention Of Mr.
Darley to continue his promotion OF
Independent plants in Colorado and all
under the Durango plan Of profit shar
ing.

ON ARbOR DAY
FRIDAY, APRIL rs, IS THE DAY
SET ASIDE By GOVERNOR
BURKE As AReoR DAY. HoLI-
DAY WILL BE GENERALLY Oh.
SERVED THROUGHOUT CAPITAL
CITY AND MANY TREES WILL.
BE PLANTED

Friday, April rs, is Arbor Day, as
officially set aside in the proclamation
recently issued by Governor Burke.
The holiday will be generally OBJ
served throughout the capital city and
the surrounding community. In the
schools of the city as we'll as in the
rural schools there will be appropri-
ate exercises, and in many of the dis
tricts the school children will plant
trees on this day.
In Bismarck there are many of the
citizens who will plant on krbor Day,
and it has been suggested that this
day be also utilized as time when
those who have trees around their
premises now see that they are pruned
and trimmed of all unsightly boughs
and branches. While trees have no
place in the business district of any
city, they are ornaments as we'll as
objects of usefulness around q home,
and they add greatly to the beautiful
appearance Of . city's residential Sec
ton.
