Initial quotations, which ranged

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver.-An increase of so cents a
ton to farmers for sugar beets in all
the factory districts of the Great
Western Sugar Company was deter.
mined upon by the board of directors
of the corporation. This will mean a
distribution of between $1,O0O,000 and
S1,25O,0OO more to the farmers than
under the present contract scale. The
board held its meeting in Denver.
The general prosperity of the business
was the reason assigned for the volun-
tary raise.
There will be thirteen sugar fac
tories in operation by the Great
Western Sugar Company when those
now in the course of construction are
completed.
The raise in pay to the farmers will
apply in all the districts supplying
these factories. AS nine of the cor
poration's plants are in Colorado the
farmers of this state will benefit
most by the increase. Two plants are
in Nebraska, one in Montana and one
in Wyoming.
The minimum price now paid for
sugar beets is $5 a ton, with an in
creasing scale for higher sugar con-
tent. The minimum will now be $3.50.
Thousands of farmers in northern
and eastern Colorado. the chief sugar
beet raising districts of the state, will
benefit by the increase. The deter
mination of the board was reached
after thorough survey of the crops
and conditions.
This prosperous condition and the
growth of the beet sugar industry are
reflected in the extension of the com
pany's business by the construction of
three new factories this year.

London, July 3.-The British and
French troops, thrown forward in Il
grand offensive against the German
lines on both sides of the river
Somme, sixty miles north or Paris
have penetrated at one point to
depth of five miles; taken several
villages and captured a labyrinth Oh
trenches extending to depth OF l.
900 wards on a front of seven miles.
The town of Albert was the starting
point of one of the fiercest thrusts,
the British advancing from east OF
the town to Montauban, more than
five miles away. Besides Montauban
and Serre, the villages of Hebuterne'
La Boisselle and Mametz have been
captured.
All through the night the great
British and French offensive which
began Saturday morning continued
with intensity and there was no dimi-
mutton in the battle on Sunday. Both
British and French war offices re-
port a steady advance at certain
points, but speak of the formidable
German resistance. Fricourt, an i'm
nortant town, three miles east of AL
bert, has fallen to the British arms,
while the French have taken Curlu,
which lies to tie southeast. The
fighting at the southern end of the
British line, where it is in contact
with the French, is of the fiercest ma
ture, tremendous artillery action pre-
ceding all the infantry attacks. The
French have taken about 5000 prison
ers according to the latest estimates,
while the British, though reporting
the capture of $500. later declared
that the estimates were too low. Ow-
ing to the nature of the battle it is
not doubted that the casualties are
very high.
Notwithstanding the terrific offens-
i've against them in the Somme river
region the Germans have not ceased
in their efforts around Verdun. They
have bombarded several of the Yer
dun sectors and have launched infant
ry attacks against the French
trenches.
While Berlin declares that the
French attacks against the famous
Thiaumont works were repulsed by
curtains of fire. the French war Of
flee announces that this strategic po-
sition has been recaptured.
