A modest violet grew.
Its stalk was bent it hung its AeaG

And yet il was lovely flower,
Its cclors. bright and fair;

Instead OF hiding there.
Yet there IL was content to bloom

And there diffused It's sweet perfume
Within the silent shade

ON SERIOUS CHARGE

As result of the visit to the

with irregularities in his accounts
Accordingly United States Mar

other sections should receive this sup
port, and every resident of Monte Vista
and the San Luis valley can well afford
to assst in the working out and devel-
opment Of this important resource and
industry.
Soliciting large acreage from every
farmer this first year would mean loss
to nearly every man, as 1t would be i'm
possible this late IN the fall to properly
prepare the soil on large tract, but for
the ten. acre field the fertilizer could be
spread over the surface of the ground
during the coming winter months, then
early in the spring plow the land deep
and pulverize the soil as if preparing the
seed bed for garden.
The beet crop is the only crop farmer
can raise and contract for its sale at a
specified profitable price before the same
is planted.
Knowing that the farmers in the
Greeley, Colorado, district who at one
time were against the industry and now
are enthusiastic beet growers because Of
the profits they derive from the crop
and the advancement in their land prices,
and because it is possible for us to ac-
complish the same splendid results, it
seems as il We are turning down the
greatest opportunity ever presented to
this valley il we fail to develop on large
scale the growing Of beets and manufac-
ture Of sugar.-Carl B. Stow

The Drainage Question is
Paramount Issue

AS the alkali and seeped condition of our lands
gradually encroaches upon the fertile of
the valley, the question of comprehensive drain
age system becomes elementary
Through the efforts of Edward Keatng in
Congress, representative of the Interior and Agri-
cultural departments now conducting survey
of the valley with view to submitting definite
proposition in the name of the national govern
ment for the drainage of the San Louis valley
this survey will be completed later than No
vember l. 1t will take time for the engineers
to complete their report but the government should
be able to reach a conclusion before January I,
1915. We have ever reason to believe that the
engineers report will be favorable and the govern
ment will then most likely make the propo-
sition to the people of this valley which has al
ready been placed before the people of Grand val
ley in Colorado and practically accepted by them.
1t is apparent that private enterprise cannot
drain the valley and the state of Colorado is not in
position to lend the financial assistance required.
Therefore if the valley is to be drained in time
by the kind of a system which will guarantee per-
manent results, we must secure federal assistance.
The Democratic party is in position give
the San Louis valley drainage system which will
add tremendously to the productivity of the valley.
Congressman keatng the Democratic candi-
date for Congress- is pledged to give his undivided
attention the national end of the subject and the
fact that he has enlisted the favorable interest of
Secretary of Interior Lane is an earnest that the
pledge will be fulfilled Senator Patterson has
promised his support to any reasonable measure
which might be presented the legislature and
Byron A. Robson has adopted valley drainage as
his platform.
The question of drainage affects every man.
and child in this valley-the dweller in the
city well as the tiller of the soil-and tremend-
vote should be rolled up for the election of the
Democratic candidate who would best advance
the interests of the valley.

nsnt of better railroad facilities.
And in addition to the improved bust
'ess conditions and greater prosperity
snlch is brought about by the sugar
beet industry, the fertility of the soil is
improved by the thorough cultivation of
Ine land and the careful preparation of
The seed bed. The growing of beets
hds one more crop to the rotation and
aoes more to improve farming methods,
because OF the thorough cultivation and
deep blowing which is necessary to make
ne beet crop profitable, than the raising
a any other irrigated crop.
Inc operation of the sugar factory

pany. A trial was had before the
late Judge Holbrook, who after
hearing the evidence found the
issue in favor of Mr.. Drake and
gave Judgment against Everist,
Vastine and the u S. Investment
Co, for S5523.0O and cost.
The defendants carried the case
to the higher court where it was
sharply contested,
The Court of Appeal in it's opin-
ion say that it has examined the
entire record with care and that
the record fails to show any fraud
on the part of Everist and Vastine'
or in other words the higher court
finds the transaction free from
fraud and therefore il reverses the
opinion of Judge Holbrook.

thusiastic over our wonderful resources
and future possibilities, and having in
vestments and property which we want
to see advance and improve, should be
willing to do all in our power to develop
any industry that will increase the val
ues of our property and make our city
and the San Luis valley more desirable
place In which to reside.
Sugar beets have been and can be
protitably raised on the good land OF this
valley, and if we will become enthusias-
tic over the development of this indus
try and make beets one OF our principal
crops, we will add at least fifty dollars
an acre to the value Of our land; double
our rural populations increase the pop
ulation of our town and add one more
money making crop to our agricultural
resources.
The magnitude Of the beet sugar in
dustry is so great (meaning so much to
all OF us), and it being possible to make
this business success with very little
effort on the part of each resident, We
should all cooperate to develop this in
dustry and make this valley rival all
othor irrigated agricultural districts as
sugar producing section.
A PLAN TO RAISE THE ACREAGE

beet acreage is adopted, and every farmer

evening and his remarks were in
criticism of everything Democratic
in Colorado. He dwelt at length
upon the labor issue and showed
his evident leaning toward the
side of the mine operators. He
said:
"The yellow tents of the United
States soldiers in the north and
south of our state are visible eyi-
dence of Colorado's shame.
Tonight we are people with n
borrowed government; Colorado is
in the hands of Federal receiver.
81 cannot believe that with the
loss OF state sovereignty we lost
our desire to regain it; refuse 10
believe that we will admit to the
world much longer that we are
incapable of self-government."
Mr.. Carlson denounced the past
six years of democratic control of
Colorado as extravagant and waste
full of the public funds and promis-
ed economy and efficiency in the
event of Republican victory this
fall. He touched up Ed Costigan
and declared that vote for the
Progressives was n half vote for
the Democratic ticket.
Candidate Carlson also promised

ALASKAN LAWS

House Passes Delegates Bill Author izing Commissioners to Col

WASHINGTON, May 5.The House of Representatives yesterday passed the bill introduced by the delegate from Alaska, James Wickersham, to require the federal office holders in Alaska to enforce the laws recently passed by the territorial legislature.
 The bill introduced by the dele gate provides that the United States commissioners shall collect the tax es imposed by the representatives of the people of Alaska upon the can neries, the poll tax upon the resi- dents of the territory and also upon the thousands of fishermen who come north during the summer and pay not a cent towards the support of the territory and it will also legalize the tax on the output of salmon, which the legislature passed in an effort to force the canneries to pay some thing for the maintenance of the gov ernment in Alaska. The tax on the salmon was passed in spite of the fact that the bill organizing the Alaska legislature provided that they should not tax the fisheries.

STEAMER O|R|G0
 GOES 0N BEACH
at Full Speed-Pulied Of and Captain is Fired

SEATTLE, May 5.--The steamer
 Dirigo, of the Alaska Steamship Co.,,
 which started north Saturday for
 Seward to take the place of the steamer Dora, soon to be scraped,
 was run aground Sunday night at Use
 less bay in Puget Sound. The boat
 was running at full speed and hit the
 beach while going nine miles an hour. The engineer knew something was
 wrong and. went on deck to ascer- tain the cause for the bump and found that Captain Flynn was drunk in his cabin. where he was codling
 the wires and talking to himself and
 knew nothing of the plight of his
 ship, and a quartermaster, was work
 ing to steer the boat, which was hard
 and fast ana the engines still going at full speed.
 The engineer wasted no time re versing his engines, but it was too
 late and the Dirigo remained on the
 beach until hauled off by the freight
 CT Santa Anna, of the same line, which was sent 'o the scene when the engineer notified the office of the pre-
 dicament of the vessel.
 Captain Flynn was ordered to re- turn with the boat to this city, which he reached last night, and the port captain fired him as soon as he reached the dock and Captain Will
 liam Jensen, pilot on the Mariposa, has been placed in command of the vessel.
 The entire crew were also discharg-
 ed, after which a majority of them, who it was found upon investigation were not drunk when the ship sail ed, were rehired and the boat left
 last night for the north. Forty Chi namen for one of the northern can neries are passengers on the boat, and the steamer is also carrying a cargo of freight for westward points. The company will prefer charges against Captain Flynn and it is ex- pected that he will lose his papers. The Dirigo was not seriously dam
 aged as she struck on sandy bot tom.

MADE NICE BUTTER; GOES ID JAIL
  Chicaoo Manufacturer of Oleomargar- inc Must Serve Two Years and
 Pay $1o,000 Fine.

CHICAGO, May 5.-John Jelke, a manufacturer of Oleomargarine in this city, was sentenced today in the federal court here to serve two years in jail and pay fine of $10,0O0 be- cause he manufactured oleomargarine, placed it on the market without la beling it as oleo. and defrauded the government out of the heavy tax charged on oleomargarine.
 Jelke has been selling several tons of butter every day to restaurants, where it found ready market. The special agents of the Department of Justice raided the place, confiscated the plant, captured the books; two employees of Jelke were also arrest ed, but were not prosecuted, being forced. however, to testify against their former employer. ..
 Seven associates of Jelke in the business were also fined $2,500 each in spite Of the fact that they pleaded that they knew nothing of the busi- ness except that it paid big profits. in which they shared. :
