At the Valley hospital in La Junta

in drilling well near Cheraw.
Last Tuesday evening it appears that
AL Studebaker was bailing out the
water from the drill hole he had made
when the sheave wheel upon the top of
his 30-foot derrick dropped from its
bearings and fell with frighful force
upon his head. Help was summoned
by his assistant and he was rushed to
the Valley hospital, where it was found
that his skull had been badly crushed
and death was but question of hours.
He passed away on Thursday without
having regained Consciousness.
G. E. Studebaker, who has been
visiting relatives in Kansas for several
weeks, was informed of the fatal acci-
dent met with by his son and reached
La Junta as the unfortunate victim
breathed his last. He had the remains
brot to the Kouns undertaking parlors

conducted on Tuesday morning at the
Brethren church. Interment was in
Valley View cemetery.

EXPENSE OF CRAWLING ROAD
Problem of GraseIins Highways at
Moderate Cost Solved by Commits
sioner Rheinhardt Of Idaho.

Evidently Otto Rheinhardt, commits
sioner of the Nampa highway district,
Canyon county. Idaho. has solved the
problem of graveling the highways at
moderate cost, writes E F. Stephens
in Denver Field and Farm. Three
years ago he decided to gravel the dis
trict's share of the boulevard between
Nampa and Caldwell. A half mile
away. Indian creek runs parallel with
this boulevard and there an abundant
supply of gravel was procured. Fortu-
nately the very heavy traffic incident
to hauling rails and ties for the In
terurban electric line track cut through
the gravel, mixing the underlying soil
with the superimposed gravel in suit
able proportions for cementing firm,
smooth roadbed. A percentage of clay
smooth or volcanic ash soil mixed with
gravel makes hard, smooth roadbed
not likely to absorb the rainfall. The
result on the boulevard has been to
secure a very serviceable roadbed
highly commended by local and United
States engineers.
Under the inspiration of this sue
cessful roadbed a neighborhood lying

cided to gravel on the following plan:
The farmers to donate the use OF
teams and wagons with dump boards.
The Nampa highway district to provide
gravel, usually donated by those who
have 1t, pay the shovelers and man
to help dump the loads and also spread
and smooth the gravel on the road
bed, using for this purpose King
drag. The freshly graveled roadbed
should be smoothed with King drag
or other implement weekly for two
months or until settled and cemented
with the underlying soil. -Four inches
Of gravel in the middle of the roadbed
with two inches on the sides most
readily mixes with the underlying soil
in such proportions as to shed rain
and form a smooth, solid bed. Heavy
traffic cuts through the gravel in wet
weather until enough underlying SOIL
has been mixed and cemented with
the gravel to shed rain and create
solid roadbed.
A moderate percentage of clay soil
mixed with the gravel as applied Will
mack and cement from the beginning.
The clay gravel banks along the re-
clamation bitches piled by the dredges
supply ideal material for graveling our
roads. This mixture of clay. SAND
and gravel packs from the very hrst
and does not need underlying soil cut
in by heavy traffic. Coarse gravel
free from clay or soil, will need an ad-
mixture OF soil from below to secure
hard, smooth roadbed. Orchard ave

Is Opened This Week on A. b. S. Co.
West Ranch

Thru the cooperation of Manager
Noble and the school board of District
No. new school has this week been
started upon the West ranch of the
American Beet Sugar Co.
There are about 25 children of school
age upon the West ranch and the board
for some time has been considering
whether it would be advisable to ar
rage for conveyance to bring them to
the city schools, when the company
manager, at last weeks meeting of
the school board offered the use of one
of the ranch houses if the district
would furnish the building and supply
4 the teacher, which offer was quickly
accepted. A supply of desks and other
school furnishings was forthwith order
ed sent to the West ranch and Miss
Alice Burke was engaged to teach the
new school, entering upon her duties
the first of the week.

GOING BACK INTO HISTORY
Italians, and Greeks, With Small
Forces, Captured constantinopie
In Year. 1888.

On account of the fact that the
Turks are in this great European war
it is interesting to recall from the
pages of history that on May 20, 1853,
the forces of the Italians and Greeks,
numbering only about $4,000, con.
quered Constantinople against an esti-
mated defending army OF Turks OF
100000. This has been disputed in
history as to numbers engaged, but
the salient fact remains that the city
founded by the Emperor Constantine
was captured by the Italians and
Greeks at that time.
The days following the Crusades had
been marked by changes indescribable
in brief description. The Mohamme'
dan element had become dominant.
Then in a political movement the Ital.
ians and Greeks assaulted the very
citadel OF Mohammedism and after a
long fight against tremendous odds
captured the then rather insignificant
capital Of the Gateway to the Orient,
which has been the scene of many
strifes since that time and is now one
of the main issues of the greatest OF
all wars. The Arabic peoples had been
aroused by the growth of Mohamme'
danism The thought that If a deyotee
of Islamism died for his faith he was
at once destined to translation to the
seventh heaven was paramount to all
other thoughts. Then it was that the
uprising of the Christian Latins and
Greeks intruded into the long years OF
the rule of Islam and conquered Con
stantinople.

SUGAR FACTORY
CAMPAIGN IS On
Auspicious Start Was Made
on Monday Morning
OUTLOOK FAVORABLE
FOR GOOD LONG RUN
And that Sixteenth Annual Campaign
Win Be Profitable to A'i Interest,"
ed in Big Plant

The 1915 sugar making cam
paign at the Rocky Ford factory
of the American Beet Sugar Co.
was inaugurated at 7 o'clock on
Monday morning, as all who
heard the prolonged and welcome
Sound of the big factory whistle
were perforce aware.
This years campaign started
most auspiciously, with everything
about the big factory in perfect
condition by reason of the sum-
mers grooming, and since the
opening everything has continued
to move without hitch. Already
the men and machinery have
struck their pace and in each
twenty-four hours close to 1900
tons of sugar beets are disappear
ing within the huge NAV. to ap-
pear again as the finished product
that is one of the most important
factors in Colorado commerce.
A steadily increasing supply Of
beets is being brot to the factory
and several dumps and the grow
ers are waxing happier with each
succeeding day because of the in
creased tonnage and sugar con-
tent, which this season of sun
shiny days and cool nights is
bringing up until the tests show
that the average percentage of
sugar is likely to break all records
this year.
With the average yield per
acre known, together with the
tests of sugar content to show the
value of his beets, the grower is
now enabled to make close esti-
mate of crop retnrns for this sea-
son, and in every case they are
proving very satisfactory.
ne Ntdthtl plooEcStS aiS "'oo
very favorable and the outlook
for harvesting and marketing a
most profitable crop of sugar
beets was never brighter in this
section of the Arkansas Valley.
Approximately 275,00O tons of
sugar beets will be ground by the
Rocky Ford factory this campaign,
which means that at least one and
quarter million dollars will be
distributed to the farmers of this
section by the American Beet
Sugar Co. In addition to this
amount about S25O,00O will go to
the half-thousand hands that help
to feed the great mills giant NAV,
SO that it may be said that the
sixteenth annual sugar campaign
at the Rocky Ford factory will
bring to our people one and half
million dollars in good hard cash.
