The directors are now empowered to

at least 1000 feet
A loan of $4,000 will be secured and
a chattel mortgage given on the out

A committee is in charge of a sub
scription to raise funds for the loan
and all stockholders and others should
at once take advantage of this excel

Unless some unforeseen trouble aris-

says our well is in just exactly the
same kind of formation that the wells
are in that country which are pro-

he can spare and every bit of his
moral support. We don't want to hear
of any knockers.-North Fork Times.

their ladies, were making the rounds
af this territory the first part of the
week inspecting the beet crop and in
terviewing the farmers. The manager
evidently desires to keep in the most
intimate touch with crop conditions to
the end that all necessary arrange
ments can be made for handling the
unusually heavy crop anticipated this
fall. They made Herald office a pleas
ant call and report prospects for a
heavy beet crop unusually promising
While Mr.. Holmes is not authorized
to announce the policy of the company
as to the prices for beets for next year.
he speaks of Mr. Carlson who is at the
head of the Beet Sugar industry of the
Western Slope, and who is quite large
ly interested on the Eastern Slope and
California, as being liberal in his
views, with disposition to do the
fair thing by the grower. This being
the case. and judging from present
conditions, with war prices for sugar
still prevalent, and the prospects for
them continuing so for some time,
We see in this a ray of hope for a fur
next season.-Hotckiss Herald.
