slider the matter if it was relative to

NO SUGAR SHORTAGE

Request for immediate embargo on
sugar by Palmer's flying squadron of
profiteer hunters should not be taken
too seriously by the public. In the
last four months about $4,000 tons of
sugar have been exported to Europe,
but the cutting off of this business
would have no effect on local prices.
The price is high because a few in
terests have our sugar supply cor
nered, and the corner will continue
even if small foreign trade is cut
off.
In fact there can be little doubt
but that there is an excess of sugar
in this country. Many sugar compa-
MES in 1919 sold only 20 per cent of
their output, says the Financial Re-
view. "Our figures show total cane
and beet sugar available of 3,750,000
tons in 1919 and apparent domestic
consumption of 3,350,00O tons, or an
excessive production against con-
sumption, without counting any on
hand supplies"
Yet in 1919 wholesale sugar prices
advanced from around to IL cents
pound. This year we have had
about 100000 tons from 1919 and a
record production in Cuba CONTROLLED
by our sugar trust) and in the beet
sugar sections.
When the price of wheat advanced
in the markets last season the gov
ernment grain corporation stepped in
to hold it down. 1t has done nothing
to check the outrageous sugar specu-
laion. The difference is all the differ
ence between the farmers and the
sugar trust.

''Lonnie" Ray and Glenn N. clute
Drowned

In one of the most shocking and
terrible wrecks that has occurred in
western Colorado in the past fifteen
years, Engineer R. d. Ray, and Fire
man Glenn N. Clute, of the D. & RI
G., were drowned when a southbound
freight train from Grand Junction
ran into washout and plunged into
the Gunnison river on Monday morn
ing about 2 a. m, mile west of Do
minguez.
The bodies have not been recovered
as yet although one is held by rope
tied to the hand so the rushing water
cannot wash 1t away. The other has
not been located. .
Thomas Newman, head BRAKEMAN,
was injured about the shoulders and
his foot badly crushed when he was
caught between the engine and tank
by the apron as the engine turned
over, but managed to tear his foot
loose while under the water in time
to keep from drowning, and swan
ashore. Conductor Nanny walked
about five miles and notified the
authorities at Grand Junction and the
wrecker was Immediately dispatched
to the scene of the accident
Lonnie Ray is a well known engin-
eer on the D. & R. G., having started
to work at Cimarron, firing and was
promoted to engineer from that place.
He leaves besides his wife, son,
Averon, aged fifteen, daughter,
Frances, aged ten and j baby ten
months old 81,
Glenn N. Clute was second divi-
sion fireman, working between Grand
Junction and Minturn, but had gone
out on this run on account of short
age of firemen on the third division.
He leaves a wife to mourn his loss.
An ex-soldier, F. w. Clark, who was
riding behind the engine jumped to
the ground side as the cars started
to turn over, thus saving himself.
He was uninjured.
The terrible accident has cast a
gloom over railroad circles in this
part of the state, and the bereaved
ones have their deep sympathy in
| this sad hour.
