newspapers received here within the
past few days having stated that the
Board of Directors of the Northern Pa
cific Railroad Company had unani-
mously resolved not to accept the con-
ditions attached by the Senate to the
House bill for extension of time, etc,
G. b. Wright, President of that Com
paDy, has addressed letter TO Senator
Mitchell and Delegate Jacobs, assuring
them that no adverse action whatever
had been taken concerning the Senate
bill by the Company or its Board of
Directors, urging them to do all in
their power to secure its passage
through The House. The bill is now on
the Speakers table, and an effort will
be made to procure the concurrence of
the House in the Senate amendment
without referring to any committee,
except perhaps a commission of confer
ence, though the first named plan is
preferred.

LONDON. May 3l.-The Grosser Kur.
furst came in collision with the iron
clad Koenig wilhelm at 9:45 this morn.
ing. The accident took place three
miles off Folkstone. The Grosser Kur.
fnrst sank almost Immediately after she
was struck. The steamers boilers ex.
ploded as she went down. The wealth
er was bright and the sea calm at the
time. 1t is reported from Dover that
only eighteen persons out of the com.
plement of the 400 officers and men on
board the Grosser karfurst were saved.
Boats were launched and were sent from
other vessels of the German feet to the
assistance of the drowning people, and
it is hoped that more lives were saved.

Prussen, Grosser Kurfurst and Koenig
Wilhelm passed Dover at s:45 this

MILTON, Nav 3lst, 10.

MILTON, May 3lst, 10.
Ed. INTELLIGENCER A few weeks
since an item appeared in the Port
Townsend Argus headed, Missed bis
guess" speaking of the "avowed pur-
pose" of the steamer Donald trying to
beat the Msstick to Seattle, and writ
ten in such strain as to convince the
people of Puget Sound that the Donald
was most terribly beaten by the other
boat.
The facts Of the case were, that the
Donald started on her way home and
was rapidly ovsrhauling the Mastick,
when the schooner Excelsior, then
lying under Point Lip Lip, set her flag,
and the Donald Immediately changed
her course and lowed the vessel to
Milton. The statement that the fire.
men were under largely increased
pay" is absurd in the extreme, as no
attempts were made to hasten the speed
of the boat. We all admit that the
Donald Is anything but fast boat, still
a number Of us have several old suits OF
clothes to put up, in fact all our
worldly possessions, that the Donald
can outrun the Mastick under any and
all circumstances. CD. w.

BEET SUGAR MANUFACTURE

About the year 1910. the French
Government offered a premium of l.
100000 francs for the most successful
method of obtaining supply OF indi-
genous sugars. As 2 result in 1874,
France contained 400 beet sugar fac
tories, and produced an annual product
eff 1000 0G tons of sugar. Some OF
the incidental outcome TO France OF
such measures, has been that the
value of her farming lands has been
raised from $500 per acre to 500 and
$500 per acre The bread-producing
capacity Of the empire has advanced
two fold, and its meat producing capac-
ity eight-fold
The experiment has been tried in
California with splendid results. The
factory at Alvarado did well for awhile,
until the farmers raised the price of
beets. As the price of land was so
high in that vicinity that the company
WAS unable to touch it, they moved
away to Sequel Landing, in Santa
Cruz county. where they took the pre-
caution to buy up lands in advance.
Since the starting of the factory there,
the price of Santa Cruz Valley lands
have gone up in value equal to the
highest in the State, 5000 per acre
being the common price. The farmers
in Pajaro Valley last year. in spite of
the dronth, cleared 800 of net profit to
the acre. raising sugar bects for the
factory. Rather better business than
raising hops. potatoes or hay.
The factory at Isleton on Andrus
Island, in tho Sacramento river was
drowned out by the food, and conse-
quently has been involved in disaster by
the unfortunate mistake in choice of
location.
1t is true the amount Of capital
required to establish sugar factory is
great, but. on the contrary look at the
profits. The exhibit of the Soqnel
factory for single day shows as fol-
lows:

Ii is said an encouraging degree of pro-

One thousand and twenty three cities

ordinances prohibiting fireworks and

hundred and twenty eight of them the
ordinances have been enforced. Last
year in San Franchises the evil was
brought in a great measure under CON-
troll. and the celebration there did not,
as In former years, rival in its bloody
record that of first class battle. but
only of heavy skirmish. The alta

sugar there would be also 200 tons of

lsntic Coast, Governor Conner, of
Maine, obtained authority from the
Legislature OF that State TO offer to
persons who will introduce the neces-
sary machinery for manufacturing beet
sugar in that State, a premium of one
cent per pound on the sugar manufac-
tured, and further bonus of $1,000
per annum for ten years.
