SUGAR.

We are iformed that Mr.. O. S. Pow
ell has in small way and for
experiment simply produced sugar
from the syrup made last season in
this vicinity. A good deal of interest
is being taken all over the United
States north of Mason and DixOn's
line in regard to this important branch
of our national interests. The amount
of sweets consumed each year in this
country is enormous, exceeding in
value even the wheat crops, and a
large portion is still imported, and
with the unsettled state of the labor
question in the sugar producing states
there is a great liability Of ultimate
advance in this much needed article
of consumption. Hence every effort
to extend its production must excite
much interest, and we hope that the
efforts now being made here to create
an interest in its production may prove
successful. This much is certain, if
success, any who attempt the work
will with reasonable degree of pru-
dence be rewarded, if otherwise it is
but small affair to the enterprising
farmers.who can join hands in the
work and should be distributed if for
no other reason that such experiments
are never in vain and out of this may
come something of far more value.
Experiments made by the agricultural
department seem to prove conclusiyely
that sugar in commercial quantities
may be made from the amber cane
and at a paying cost, and that it may
be raised successfully as far north as
this county with average success.
Those who have had experience here
say that there is little chance of loss
in the raising of the cane as the feed
that can be gathered would pay itself
should the year prove unfaYorable for
the making of sugar. What will be
most needed next to the cane itself
will be good facilities for working up
the product. The production of the
syrup is not enough. The syrup pro-
duced last year was not of so good
nature as to warrant large expense to
any one unless the process could be
carried farther and sugar produced.
Of the possibility of this there can be
no doubt, from the experiments al
ready made, and there seems much
probability that if there is general
interest shown in the planting of the
cane that some facilities will be af-
forded, which will prove satisfactory

HI all Road It em ..

No new developments, of general
nature have come to light since our
last issue. All reports seem to con
firm the idea that some syndicate of
capitalists have succeeded in c0mbin-
ing the vast interests of the Sioux
City, West Wisconsin and North
Wisconsin rail roads and will in the
course of the season take new de-
parture the exact nature of which
they do not at presant propose to make
known. Whether this consolidation
Will affect the only remaining route
to the great lakes of the north, viz,
the Duluth Il. r., is not yet certain,
but in view of the fact that some of
the capitalists said to be interested IN
the new scheme are the same as those
who last summer got control of the
stock of that road we may guess with
a tolerable degree of certainty that in
the final settling up this road will be
found to be IN friendly connection, to
say the least.
Meanwhile the preliminary work on
our own extentiOn is being pushed
quietly but surely. An engineer in
the employ of the Souix City r. r.,
has been exploring the lands east of
us with the view of ascertaning the
most favorable route and will seek to
go to Ellsworth if possible. The camp
equipage and general kit of tools, etc,
for the survey have come over from
st. Paul and everything looks as if
the work would be commenced early
in the spring.
