POSSIBILITY OF SUGAR PRODUCTION.

If the Nebraska experiment succeeds
the beet producers Of the United States
might count on at least ton OF sugar to
the acre where the land is suitable. At
present we consume about 2,000,0 600
tons, or the product OF as many acres.
But there is room for considerable in
crease up to the per capita OF Great
Britain If the price be put down to the
same parity as there namely, about 4
cents per pound at retail and 81 when
taken in large quantities. This besides
the expansion due to growth in popula-
ton at the rate Of % or 80 per cent in a
decade. That would mean a speedy
keeping at home Of the $50, 900, 900 per
aDnum we are now sending abroad for
sugar and disappearance of the neces-
sity for asking the people of other coun-
tries to ''reciprocate" by taking from us
our products in exchange for the desired
sweets. OF this quantity about $780,
100000 is dutiable, which does not in
clude that coming from the Sandwich
Islands or the almost equal amount made
from the product of the canefields in the
southern states. 70 this saving may be
added part of the cost of distribution
at wholesale, while the retail profits
would stay in the country as now. Nor
would the development of the industry
end there. Not many years would elapse
before the United States would become
sugar exporter, offering its surplus
product to other countries, as it at pres
emit sends it's wheat and -four, corn, lard
and metals abroad to be sold in compe-
tition with the product of foreign lands.
This may mean semi bankruptcy to the
West India Islands, rendering them far
less desirable as possessions by the Euro
pean powers, and result in their seeking
political affiliations nearer home. The
sugar growing areas in South America
must materially suffer from the loss of a
market for their sugar, though not in SO
great ratio. In fact the possibilities Of
revolution in existing conditions here
and in many other parts of the world to
follow the successful introduction of beet
culture in the United States are so vast
that one may we'll pause in consideration
OF the consequences Of this great eco
nomic change.-Chicago Tribune, Octo-

PIEDMONT.

Mr.. Alex Mckenzie returned yester-
day from few days visit at Piedmont
and from him we CLEAN the following
notes of interest: The large brick store
3Ox1O0 feet, being erected by the Home
stake company, is rapidly nearing COM
pletion, and large force of men Is
pushing the work as lively as possible.
1t is being built of brick manufactured
there by this same company, in large
quantities, and many thousand is be-
ing shipped to neighboring towns. The
building is very large and commodious
one, of the very latest design, Il truss
roof, and no posts to obstruct the way
through the entire edifice. The interior
is to be finished up in the neatest man
ner possible, and all the modern i'm
provements of the day contained in a
building of it's kind, will be placed there
in. Take it all through, the people of
that young city will have the honor of
containing within their limits the most
snowy and handsome structure yet
known to any city in the Black Hills.
The new brick bank erected by the
Western Bank and Trust company, whose
headquarters are at Sturgis, is now fin
ished and the owners took possession
yesterday morning. This building is
also credit to this young city. 1T is
2Ox30 feet in size, has all of the latest
improvements, and will do general
banking business. Mr.. Olaf Helweg,
late of Sturgis, is the cashier of the new
enterprise. He is young, energetic, full
of business, and being royal good fell
low will be a great addition toward
building up this newly located and
promising town.
OF the many new residences daily be-
coming erected, we can easily locate the
one which is to be the home of our pop
ular townsman, Charles Christ. His
new palace looms up far above them ALL
1t will be home any man might we'll be
proud of, and we don't know of anyone
more worthy of it than he. Mr.. Crist
being the chief conductor of the Black
Hills & Fort Pierre railway, compels
him to remain in Piedmont over night
necessitating his removal to that place
While we are very sorry to lose the gen.

we take the pleasure of presenting to oul

An Indian War Probable.

News from the reservation is not of a
very peaceful nature, and from the fact
that the war department is shipping
troops into South Dakota at lively rate
gives cause for belief that the Indians are
as yet quite turbulent. The reports are
that the Indirns are concentrating their
forces in the bad lands, where they have
rounded up several hundred head OF
range cattle, besides large number be-
longing to Pine Ridge agency, and in
that condition they will be able to give
the troops hard fight.
Friday night two pieces Of artillery
with forty men arrived by rail at Fort
Meade, and Sunday forty-two recruits
came in from Jefferson barracks in COM
mand of Lit F. Sayre. Yesterday twelve
six-mule teams arrived from Texas, and

coed to the Cheyenne camp.

about one thousand head of cattle taken
off the ranges in there, and are killing

and in the course of few days entirely
broken them up by its use, as have sew
