Sugar Making In Smith County.

Sugar Making In Smith County.
From Smith Center Bulletin.
There is nothing we can get in
Smith county that will be Of as much
benefit to the county as a sorghum
sugar factory. This we can get if we
only invite capital to come here and
invest We viii not have to give any
large endowment nor anything of the
kind. All we will have to do will be
to guarantee the raising of cane
enough to keep one running, and let
that be known and the victory is ours.
We believe there is nothing that the
farmers of Smith could raise where
they would derive so good a revenue
az from the raising of cane, if we only
have a sugar factory here to use it as
fast as they bring it in. Once the
factory Is started there is no danger
Of an over-production for if necessary
the mill would be enlarged to use
every stalk that could be raised if no
other crops were planted It is a
fact that the United States produces
only about ten per cent of the sugar
she consumes, SO that there is no dan
ger Of over doing the thing if a sugar
factory were planted in every town
ship in the sixth congressional dis
trict and the farmers of each town
ship kept busy growing cane from
one years end to another
Cane is a sure crop in this part of
Kansas and those acquainted with its
growing say that it will grow better
here than in any other part of Kan
sas. Like the mule and the sun
flower, it fOurishes with or without
water. We are told by those &C
quainted with the growth of sugar
cane that a farmer will realize near
ly double what he will in raising
either corn or wheat, or any other of
the cereals. If this is true it is GER
tainly what the farmers Of this part
Of the country want and it will at
least bear investigation.
Let the people throughout the
county, these long evenings, meet at
their school houses and talk this mat
ter over and let US see If we cannot
succeed in getting plant Of this kind.
Let it be the subject for discussion at
the debating societies to the end that
we may all get knowledge on this i'm
portant matter.

State Labor Commissioner Betton
says: ''The large industrial cities of
the State-Atchison, Leavenworth,
Topeka and Kansas City, will make a
better showing all around this year
than last" He says further: exam
sas is to-day in better shape, and her
outlook more promising, her people
happier and generally more hopeful
than at any previous period Of the
States history. This is especially
true Of the large manufacturing cities,
but it is also true to a greater or less
degree of the towns and of the farm
ing communities generally 1t is a
condition of affairs Of which the peo-
pie may all be proud and which the
inhabitants of other states may well
admire and emulate"

The biennial report Of Attorney
General Bradford to the Governor of
Kansas, discloses several important
and highly gratifying facts chief
among which is the fact that, al
though the population of the state
has steadily increased from year to
year, crime has steadily decreased
The secret Of this decrease of crime,
the Attorney General finds In the
general enforcement Of the prohibi-
tory law. The report shows by sta
tisties which cannot be gainsaid, that
the effects Of prohibition are clearly
seen IN the empty jails, In the dimin-
ished number of conviots In the state
penitentary, and In the falling of of
business In the police and district
courts throughout the state. This re-
port Of the legal representative of
Kansas should effectually end all
eayl about the mefdciency Of the pro
hibitOry law as CONSERVATION Of the
public peace, and as one Of the mos.

Kansas is an advanced and pro-
gressive state, peopled and controlled
by highly intelligent and wonder
ously active civilization. Kansas has
drawn for her population upon those
very sources which have assured Chi
cago her pre-eminent standing before
the world. Everywhere within her
boundry lines are to be found, schools,
churches, libraries and the best sOci-
ETY.. Some Of the literature in the
west came out Of Kansas, and the
weekly newspaper press Of Kansas
has always maintained the highest
standard. We viii venture the as
sertion that making just allowance
for its age and population, there are
more costly private libraries in Kan
sas than any other western state
Chicago NeaCs.

while in sorghum the per cent. is but
go. In ton Of raw sugar-cane there
is about 200 pounds of crysta1lizable
sugar. In southern cane there is
about six-tenths Of 1 per cent. of the
sugar is nOn-crystallizable; in sor-
ghum the per cent. is nearly 2.
In five and one-half hours thirty
four tons of cane were cut, and in
twelve hours 1880 pounds of sugar
were finished The entire process,
from the time the cane is unIoaded
until the sugar, bright, sweet and
glistening, Is packed into barrels, re-
quiries twelve hours. A force of
sixty men is employed to do the work.
Two varieties of cane are grown for
this purpose; the early amber for the
early part of the Season, and the
orange, which natures late. The
only drawback to the scheme is that
it has not proved renumerative to the
manufacturers, as sugar can only be
made four months in the year. The
manufacturers propose to sink a salt
well near the works and evaporate
salt during the other months.-Kon-

80 PopuIation 81 Eaneas.

The vote Of 1888 proves, conclu-
sively, that the population of Kansas
now exceeds ], $4,000. In'8Othe Unit
ed States census, taken in June showed
a population Of 966,616, and the vote
of the same year, in November, was
2O1, 2O1, or very nearly five inhabi-
tants to one voter.
The vote Of 1888 aggregates $780,
215 ; an increase Of 129,O1A in eight
years. The ratio Of voters to population
is, we think, less now than In 1880, for
this ratio has been steadfastly de-
creasing for twenty years past 1t is
therefore, fair to assume that we have
in Kansas, now, fully five inhabitants
to each voter, If not more. Multiply
the vote, $50, 215, by five would give g
population Of ], SLOTS.
The enumeration made on the first
of March last, and returned to the
State Board Of Agriculture. was l.
1852. Aut these enumerations by
township assessors are always incom-
plele, and often grossly inaccurate.
The vote Of 1888 is a better showing
OF population than are these returns.
and the vote fully justiies the state
ment that the population Of Kansas
now exceeds 1,65O,O00. - Atciison

ON A LONG TRAMP.

Last night Officer Calvert found boy
not over twelve years of age standing
shivering upon the sidewalk on East
Douglas avenue. The officer took COM
passion upon him and conducted him to
the police station, where bed was fur
nished him.
He seemed very frank, honest sort of a
little fellow and in conversation with the
officer manifested do backwardness in
telling of himself. He said that he had
came through from Ft Union, \. NJ, and
was enroute to Chicago, Ills. His father
was a private soldier at that fort and he
had been there for sometime with him:
but wishing TO return TO his former home
he left the Fort and started for Illinois
For two months he had been upon the
road beating" his way, riding upon
freight cars, passengers, anything
that would carry him eastward.
He had no money-not even a
cent when he started and managed to hold
his own. Wednesday night was put in
Nickerson; yesterday Newton was reached;
and from there he came 10 Wichita by the
evening freight He had taken bunk in
the gutter, but becoming cold and chilled
he had gotten up to stretch himself when
found by the officer.

TREES.

To the Editor of the Eagle
knowing that you are always urging
your readers to do what is for the good OF
Wichita and what is for their individual
interest also, take the liberty of address
ing you this note asking you TO urge upon
your readers the necessity and benefit OF
planting out plenty of shade and orna-
mental trees and shrubs around their
houses and vacant lots. just let any one
take drive through the older part Of the
city and see how beautiful the homes look
with their rows of tall trees in front of the
pavements. and the green grass and shrub
berry in the yard The south part Of town
being newer than the north of course
needs more work in this direction. Then
would it not be good idea for our school
board to have trees planted around our
school houses where there is ground
enough to plant them. / have noticed that
around and ON the west side of the Lincoln
street school house there is enough ground
to make a nice little grove, that if properly
planted out to trees would make quite a
nice, cheap and permanent improvement
to the school property as well as to that
part of the city.
By planting fair sized trees and having
them well planted the children would not
hurt them in the least. And as we are
having SO much rain this spring it is a
splendid time to plant trees, ahd is not at
all too late yet TAXPAYER.

CAPITAL STOCK 500, 900.

Some months ago gentleman in this
city with an eye for learning something
about the value of the formations in this
part of the valley collected several speci-
mems of clay and sent them to Illinois to
have them tested. He received report
from the investigation a few days ago and
was much elated over the document One
of the specimens prove of the best quality
of fire clay and admirably suited for all
uses in that line. The vein is thirty feet
thick and not far from the city.
He has apprised a number of the lead
ing business men of the value of the clay
and scheme is on foot for organizing a
company with capital stock of 800, 600 to
handle it. With the report the company
making the test in Illinois said they
would be glad to take one-third of the
