Greeley, Colo.-"I feel optimistic
over the outlook for acreage in the
Greeley district and northern Colo

of the sugar industry here. He ex-
pressed the belief that all three fac
tories would get enough beets to last
an average campaign.
This in spite of the fact that the
Farmers union has gone on record as
saying that it's members cannot raise
beets at profit at the figure offered
them by the Great Western Sugar
Company.
The scale provides that the mini
mum amount shall be s475. The fig

dustry, and the farmers demanded
that not less than this sum be paid
1t takes an average of 5000 acres
to supply factory for one season,
which would mean a total of 1S,0OO
acres for three factories. Last year
there was planted total Of approx
mately $4,000 acres in Weld county.
This acreage supplied Greeley.
Eaton, Windsor, Fort Collins, Sterling
in part and Brush likewise, as well as
others in this territory.
1t has been learned that more than
5000 acres have ben contracted for the
1914-15 crop. Many who declared early
in the year that they would not raise
beets have changed their minds and
will do so for the last time.

ment of the long-sought imnrove-
ment. In view of this fact it is likely
tnat the Board of Freeh olders will
auopt resolutions at their meeting
to be held Monday afternoon tn
approve plans for the proposed
Drloge and to have them advertised
for bids. Director A. J. Gebhardt. OF
the board, stated today that he saw
no reason why such action would
not be taken at the meeting to be
held at o'clock Monday afternoon.
Ihls action will make the early
construction of the bridge certainty
unless persons opposed should step
in to hold up the proceedings, de-
clared Mayor Ferd Garretson and
other city officials today. There has
been talk in New Brunswick to the
effect that opposition would be given
If the freeholders attempted to carry
the plans through. For that reason
Alderman John j. Clark, chairman OF
the committee on streets and sewers,
did not blame the freeholders for
proceeding with every precaution, in
statements made this morning He
declared that rumors OF poiiticssh9d-
ing up the plans were all bosh.
With the signing of the petition
in question by Mr.. Pardee, the free
holders and city officials alike de-
clare they can see no reason why the
project should not be carried
through with all possible speed All
agreed that the Improvement was q
| long-felt necessity and that it would
be benefit to the general public, as
well as residents in the western and
northwestern sections of the city. In
issuing the petition, property own
ers considered only those owning
property along the proposed ap-
proach on the north side of the Le-
high Valley railroad tracks. The
Pardee interests held all OF the lanu
along the approach for a certain dis
tance on the southerly side and to
avoid any loopholes for opposition,
the freeholders deemed it necessary
to procure Mr.. Pardee's signature.
Although the city had pursued
along the legal lines of condemning
a portion of the Pardee land to es-
tablish the southerly approach, Mr..
Pardee signed the petition in ques-
tion when requested to do SO. 1t
was with some degree of reluctance
that he acted and he expects a con-
slderation from the city as a result,
probably when it comes to open the
approach and levy assessments for
street improvement.

life take on a different aspect at
once for these people? Do you not
suppose that the toilers would be
able to give better days work? Do
you suppose there would be so many
loafing about street corners and in
saloons?
To some this may seem like an
idle dream to be realized some time
in the future, but not yet 1t is not
dream, however, and it is not so
impossible as many may think. The
city already owns land suitable for
park purposes. A little money to
fix them up and a guard or two is
all that would be necessary. The lot
at Fayette street and New Brunswick
avenue has already been referred to.
Then we have the old water works
and the so-called poor farm of sever
al acres. The time has come for
Perth Amboy to bestir herself in the
matter of parks.

child had been stabbed over the
heart and he was taken to the office
Of Dr.. G. w. Fithian in the am

physician found that the instrument

trated the flesh for short distance
between the ribs Of the right breast.
The boy also had wound In his back
where he had been struck. The
weapon used by the miscreant was a
long horseshoe nail, sharpened to a
needle point.

for him after school, and threw rocks
at him and showed the recorder a

checks to the amount of S81, which
had been stolen from his saloon the
night previous. About $125 In cash,
however, which was also stolen, was
not returned.
The letter was postmarked Perth

terday morning. No writing accom-
panied the letter, except the address.
About 1870 o'clock Thursday night
wallet was taken from a compart-
ment back of the bar 1t contained
more than 5000 in checks and cash.

had been customer at his place for
a few days recently, but who disap-
peared the night of the robbery.
