A SERIOUS LOSS.
L. D. SayIor's Barn Burns Together
With Thirteen Horses.

L. D. Saylor, the well-known contrac-
tor, suffered severe loss Wednesday
morning, by the burning Of his barn and
its contents, including Is horses. The
fire was discovered between IL and l
O'Clock, and the interior ofthe barn was
then mass of flames, rendering it i'm
possible to save anything. All of the
horses that were In the barn were burn
ed, together with their harnesses, hay,
straw, etc. One horse was in the pas
ture and was saved, as well as the cattle,
which were in an adjoining shed.
The loss cannot fall short of $4,000.
There is insurance on the horses of
81 900, barn $3.50, and stock $3.50. The
barn was new valued at $500. Tomorrow
was the day set for the auction of these
horses, and the loss comes upon Mr..
Saylor at very inopportune time. 1t is
not known how the fire started.
The fire had gained 30 great a head
way when discovered that it was useless
to attempt to control it. When Mr.. Say
lor opened the door the flame burst out
fercely and drove him back. No alarm
was turned IN as there was no time to
get the chemical engine up the hill.
The barn was located back of Mr.. Say
lor's house, in his addition back of Agen-
cy hill The horses were those used on
the street grading jobs. Mr.. Saylor has
the sympathy of the community in the
loss he sustains.

BETTER SERVICE REQUIRED.

AS now constituted the free delivery
service of Mankato is little better than
nothing. The outlying districts are
served once a day-in the morning
and the inside or business districts are
served twice day-once in the morn

the mail from St. Paul. The heaviest
mail that comes to Mankato is over the
Northwestern from Chicago. Large
mails are also received In the afternoon
from the West on the G. & N. w. and
the c., st. P, M. & O. These mails, of
very great Importance to the business
men and manufacturers, lie in the post
office until the following morning and

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Mr. 6. M. Forman's residence had a
narrow escape from burning, last night.
Miss Burns, guest, was awakened at
about one o'clock by screams coming
from the servant girls room. She
quickly aroused Mr.. Forman, who, with
the assistance of the girl, succeeded in
subduing the flames. The girl was quite
badly burned, and Gu Oh the hands, by
grasping, IN she first awoke, burn

the fire. No alarm was turned in. 1t is
very fortunate that no greater damage
was done than was the case.

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.

A number of Blue Earth county farm
ers raised the sugar beet during the
past summer, to test the soil and eli
mate, and among these and those who
are watching the experiment a great
deal of interest exists in the subject. If
the industry is shown to be profitable,
many farmers will engage in the raising
of the beet, and a sugar factory will be
among the industries to be added to our
growing list. The department at Wash
lngton has just issued valuable work
on the suject, which can be had by APP
plication to Hon. J. M. Rusk, Secretary.
In the Introduction to this book, called
Bulletin 81, Division of Chemistry"
the secretary says:
"The studies which have been made
heretofore in regard to climate condi-
tons have been of such nature as to
locate, in a general way, the areas in
United States suitable for the culture of
the sugar beet. 1t has been found that
the coast valleys OF California, and prob
ably large areas near the coast of Ore
gon and Washington, certain parts of
the Dakotas and Nebraska, localities in
Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan,
parts of Northern Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and New York present favorable condi-
tons for sugar beet culture, but in the
localities thus broadly intimated there
are certain restricted areas most suitable
to the sugar beet, and it is only these
restricted areas to which we must look
for success. If the sugar beet industry
is to succeed in this country success
must come from sharp competition with
the same industries in older countries,
where the conditions are better under
stood and where the localities suited to
it have been selected by long and often
costly experience. 1t must also COM
pete with the sugar cane industry both
of this country and tropical countries,
and for this reason we can only expect
it to survive In those localities where
sol and climatic conditions, proximity
of fuel, cheapness of labor and other fa-
vorable environments are found. <
Many attempts have been made for the
last twentyf five years to introduce the
sugar beet industry into the United
States. Factories have been located in
the New England states, notably in
Maine and Massachusetts, also in Della
ware, in Illinois and in California. With
two exceptions all of these ventures
have brought with them financial dIsas-
ter. The factories in New England,
Delaware and Illinois and some of those
in California have been abandoned.
One factory in California has been sue
cessfully operated for a number of
years, viz, the one at Alvarado, and
