Standard People Making Contracts
E E Maxon of the Standard Sugar
Beet Co is now in the field making con
tracts for next season and reports suc
cess
Up at llaigler where one man raised
nM tons per acre last season he has al
ready secured contracts for 50 acres
Calls are coming in from the St Fran
cis Kansas neighborhood and they ex
pect to contract a considerable acreage
over there Kansas still pays S100 per
ton bounty for beets of 12 per cent or
better
Up at Norfolk where the American
people recently dismantled their factory
the Standard people have already con
tracted for 150 acres of beets for next
year
Altogether the outlook is fairly en
couraging for next season
This seasons acreage totaled about 3
500 acres in this part of the state This
seasons should be increased When
the matter of rotation of crops is under
stood and provided for and the acreage
reaches 4000 to 5000 there is no doubt
that a factory will be located somewhere
in this part of the Republican valley
McCook Ditch Not In It
Superintendent J E Kelley of the Mc
Cook Irrigation and Water Power Ditch
denies that that ditch is involved in the
Leavitt lease of the Culbertson ditch
and we hasten to correct Mr Kelley is
one third owner of the McCook ditch
and asserts that it is the purpose of that
company to conduct the ditch in a neu
tral manner and that it is in no way tied
up with anybody or company but is
open to whosoever will
Mr Kelley announces that the com
pany has been quietly making consider
able improvements and that the ditch
will be in better condition next year
than ever The big flume a few miles
below the headgate has been rebuilt and
enlarged materially and general physical
conditions have been bettered
Retires From The Republican Valley
Having about closed up its business
for the last year the American Sugar
Beet Co of Grand Island Nebraska
has decided to retire from the business
of raising and buying sugar beets in the
Republican valley leaving the field
open to the Standard Sugar Beet Co of
Ames Nebraska They also retire from
the northwestern Kansas field which
will be the more energetically covered by
the Standard people than hitherto The
Platte valley territory has also been
Agreeably divided by the companies

The enlargement of the Burlington
yards in Denver which has been com
menced is being prosecuted in the vicin
ity of the union depot in such a way that
it may have more than ordinary
significance Underneath the Sixteenth
street viaduct a force is now engaged in
laying a track to connect the main tracks
of tho Moffat road with a switch of the
Colorado Southern which extends to
Fifteenth street This track will be
close to the depot of the Denver North
western PaciSc and while it will reach
property on which two warehouses are
to be erected it will also enlarge the
interchange of tho Moffat road with
other lines
Tho fact that the Burlington is per
forming the work of connecting this
track with the Moffat road has given
rise to report that is but a forerunner of
the second union depot project for the
Burlington and Moffat roads and that
the location will be in the Colorado it
Southern coach ards alongside the pres
ent union depot as it sgenerallv under
stood that the present station of the
Moffat road at Fifteenth street is but a
temporary one The anticipated busi
ness of the road when fully developed
will bo such a factor that a new station
will be imperative Though all eyes are

lines covet an alliance the Burlington
