Granada reports boom with new elevator plans and a rebuilt market while a fire destroys J D McCready’s residence, sparing most of the belongings. Local travelers, hay trades, and wildlife hunts fill sections as residents discuss transport, sugar beets, and a proposed irrigation bill from Washington.
The Lamar citizens push for a sugar factory amid 3580 acres subscribed and plans to reach 5000. Regions including Rocky Ford Sugar City Fowler Manzanola Holly and Lamar would join the Arkansas valley in a chain of sugar production. Meanwhile a federal irrigation bill advances, blending Shafroth and Hansbrough Newland proposals, creating a reclamation fund from public land sales and outlining surveys, reservoir and canal sites, land withdrawals, and contracts to build irrigation works with $10 per acre cap.
The National Association of Beet Sugar Manufacturers met in Washington and re elected officers. Members urged the Ways and Means Committee to avoid tariff changes, arguing beet sugar production could meet U S needs in ten years with no tariff shifts. President Oxnard cited $30,000,000 spent on plants and irrigation in the West, warning changes would ruin the industry. The beet sugar men believed the committee would act fairly, predicting rapid factory growth and a prosperity boom across the state if tariffs stay intact.
The season’s great comedy event features the new farce A Wise Woman in this city with a corps of acclaimed artists. Dr. A W Seabury physician and surgeon. Offices on the second floor of Irwin building East Main street.
