EXCELLENT PROSPECTS
FOR \ SUGAR FACTORY
Platte Valley Could Easily Furnish
the Required Acreage of Irrigated
Lands to Bring New Industry.

The willingness Of the Great West
ern Sugar Company and its subsidiary
concerns to build sugar factories wher-
ever sufficient acreage of bpets may be
secured. gives the Platte valley very
good prospects for such an industry
within the next few years. and the
matter is now being agitated by sew
eral local people. In the upper valley.
according to the Encampment Echo, IA
number Of farmers will volunteer IL
small acreage of sugar beets next year
to test the soil in various quarters, and
it is likely that many in the neighbor-
hood of Saratoga will also try out their
land TO determine what results may be
Obtained from the beets. Aside from
discovering what the sugar beets will
do here, the crops derived from what
ever acreage is planted will be valu-
able as stock food and there will he no
loss from the acreage devoted to the eX-
pertinent.
NJ. Il. McKillip, local real estate deal

colorado parties with whom he has

was made his successor.
Lone Bear was AN enemy to drink.
One of the most notable occurrences
Of his life which impressed people of
all races was II speech which he made
at the time of the death of his son sew
eral years ago, who was killed by a
Chicago X Northwestern train between
Riverton and Lander while under the
Influence of liquor. The young man
had been in Riverton with several
companions and became drunk in viola
ton of the rules of the government.
and while on his way home lay down
between the rails. The engineer saw
an object but did not recognize il as
the form of II man and ran over him.
Lone Bear was greatly moved that
his son should have been killed in this
manner, and the speech he CAV made
Indians and whites weep like children.
In his passing his people have lost

day in the EI5s' Home and transacted
considerable business.
Resolutions were passed praying for
the enactment Of legislation by the
Congress covering the importation of
wool. live stock and its products. \
resolution was also unanimously adopt
ed asking for the passage of the
French-Capper Truth-in-Fabric Bill
now pending in congress.
Our Sheepmcn feel that unless an en-
barge is placed upon imports at once.
or am emergency tariff bill is passed by
congress ana signed ny the president
at an early date. that many Industries
throughout the country face utter ruin.
The meeting also adopted "A new
wage scale. Men whose names appear
on the pay-rolls on December 31st,
1920, are to receive u monthly wage
of not to exceed SO. All men employed
on and after January l are to receive
not to exceed $50 per month.
Resolution.
Whereas, during the world war,large
quantities of wool accumulated in for
eign wool producing countries. and
Whereas, but part of the 1913 Unit
ed States wool clip has been taken
over by h manufacturers. and large
Quantities of coaise wool remain I'M.
utilized in this county. and
Whereas, approximately 9S per
cent of the Carbon county wool clip
FOR 1870 is in storage in eastern mar
kets. unsold. and
Whereas. the present stock of wool
in the United States is sufficient for
the manufacturing needs of the coun-
try for the ensuing year. and the i'm
p%0rtatiOn of foreign woods will render
more d%eplorable the condition now ex-
listing in the wool markets of the Unit
ed States. and
Whereas, the live stock market is
in such condition that all live stock
producers have suffered II are now
suffering great losses. and the condi-
ton of the industry is such that failure
will he the ultimate outcome for many
producers unless there is Immediate re-
lief. and
Whereas, live stock and its products
are being shipped into this country mt a
lower price than the same can be pro-
duced III this country.
Now, therefore, he it resolved that
we petition h congress of the United
S,dteS~ for the enactment of Il law plac-
ing a permanent tariff upon all i'm
portations of live stock. wool, meats
and other b%y-products of live stock. and
Be it further resolved. that we petit
tion the president of the United States
10 place an embargo for Il period of at

Harding And Coolidge.

And they have named Senator
Harding of Ohio and Governor
Coolidge of Massachusetts to lead
them.
1t makes no difference who the
Republicans at Chicago nominate
Six weeks ago they could have
selected most any of their flock and
the people would have swallowed
the bait. Things have changed to-
day. The country is going Demo-
cratic again. The disgusting un-
loosing slush funds to win party
honors has been the most disgust
ing in the history of American poll
tics. There is much wonder among
the better element of the Republi-
cans whether the nominees selected
will be worth the money.

Big Investment Oppor-tnnitx.

Liberty bonds of the third issue,
bearing Az per cent, are selling in
the market at about $50 for 800 of
face value, If bought at that price
and held until they mature eight
years hence they will yield about 6A
per cent on the investment. The
fourth Liberty ANS. selling at about
$S3 for 500 of face value, give a
straight yield of 512 per, cent on the
purchase price and If held to matur-
ity in 1898 will yield 81 Fer cent.
Those are exceedingly attractive
returns on the safest investment in
the world. Anyone with funds to in
vest should not overlook the oppor-
tunity. Liberty bonds are as good as
the Government itself. Some short
sighted persons and some who were
forced by circumstances-busi
men who need to use their money
and reduced their bank loans, for ex-
Iample-have sold the bonds. Wise
investors are buying them.
The best advice that can be given
to the owner of Liberty bond is TO
