SUGAR COMPANIES TO
EXPEND TWENTY MILLIONS

On Monday morning the work of
grinding the big sugar beet crop OF
1915 began when the Rocky Ford
factory of the American Beet Sugar
company opened for business. One
week later. the Las Animas factory
of the same company will begin
grinding. This will mean about 100
day campaign for Rocky Ford and a
ninety day run for Las Animas.
These two factories will grind the
beets from more than 10000 acres in
the Las Animas, Rocky Ford and La
mar territories. The acreage is
material increase over 1914, and the
general average of the tonnage will
exceed that of 1914. In all, close to
250,000 tons of beets will pass thru
these two plants. 1t means the ex-
penditure of more than s1,5OO,OOO
to the farmers of this territory in the
Arkansas valley and to the help in
the factories.
The beet sugar crop this year
means s2O,oOO,OOO to the state. AT
least s15,O0O.O 900 of this will 90 to
Colorado farmers and workmen.
The majority portion will go to
farmers for their beets. The rest will
be paid as wages at sixteen sugar fac.
tories during the 100 or $50 DAYS OF
the run.

A REMARKABLE FALL

Suppose you came tumbling down
a two hundred foot cliff in a stage
coach, what would you do?
Unless some strange coincident in
tervened, you probably would die,
wouldn't you? In fact, 1t would be
enough to make anyone die, no mat
ter how much they wanted to live.
But, it required great deal more of
a fall to kill Harry D. Carey, in that
hum-dinger of a play, Just Jim"
which is coming to the Empire thea
ter on Tuesday, Oct. 18th.
The best thing to do is to go and
see for yourself just how terrible is
the fall Jim" takes in this remark
able photoplay. It's one of the best
thrillers the Universal Film Manu-
featuring Company has put out in
months.

DEL NORTE HOTEL TROUBLE

Late last Saturday night, Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas. who came to Del Norte
several months ago and leased the
Windsor hotel and have been con-
ducting 1t since, quietly packed their
belongings and left for no one knows
where. A few days previous to their
departure, Mrs. Thomas daughter,
Miss Foster. left and 1t was stated
that she was going to Sterling, Colo.
to be married. Now, however, it is
thought that instead of going to
Sterling she went to Salida, and that
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Joined her
there. and that the three have gone
on to the coast. A great deal of the
table and bed linen and slverware
is missing, and it's thought that Miss
Foster took the most of it with her
rs when she left she had considerable
baggage.
The proprietor of the hotel has
filed no complaint and failed to have
any warrants issued, therefore the
county officials have dcne nothing to
trace the party and that they have
gone to Salida and from there on to
the coast is merely supposition.
The Thomases were from Kansas
City, Mo.
