W. c. Child OF Helena, has been
experimenting in the cultivation OF
the sugar beet, and according to the
Herald has demonstrated that Mon
tana is well adapted to the growth OF
this vegetable. In the saccharine ele-
ment for which the beet is cultivated,
the Montana product seems to sur
pass that of all other countries. On
this point the Herald says: sixteen
per cent. OF saccharine matter is a
phenomenal yield, and that is what is
reported as the result OF an analysis
OF two out OF the four varieties ex-
~perimented with by Mr.. Child. When
the experiment was first tried m
Europe only two per cent was OBJ
tanned, the experiment became a sue
cess. And now after long years OF
trial with the best varieties, methods
of cultivation, and Of manufacture,
ten per cent. is the highest average
yield that has been reached. Even as
long ago as 1876, one and one-sixth
million tons of sugar were produced
from beets in Europe, about one.
fourth the entire product OF the
world" The experiment OF Mr.. Child
should encourage Others in raising the
sugar beet. Montana may yet be able
to make all the sugar required for
home consumption.

ing the dance. Men and women have
danced in all ages, and they will con-
tinue to dance as long as they have
limbs to stand on. Dancing is the
poetry OF motion. Keeping step to
music creates a pleasing sensation.
1t affords healthful recreation and a
pleasant pastime. The young people
on the frontier, deprived of other
pleasures, would find life a dreary
burden were in not for the dance. And
most people are trying to get what
pleasure they ear out of this world.
There may be evils connected with the
associations may not always be the
best. The first objection is a matter
for individual discretion, and the pas
time should not becondemned because
a few persons ire indisereet. AS to
associations we believe the evil ise xag-
Grated. In most instances the danger
can be wholly avoided. 1t is futile
to denouncs dancing or the drama.
Both are in this world to stay. They
may be elevated and improved but
they cannot be destroyed. Liberal
ministers-men who have thrown of
the yoke OF b~igotry-are discovering
the folly OF opposition. Not long
since a Chicago paper contained a
notice which read as follows: 1.-THE
ladies of DIR. Thomas church will give
a dance on Wednesday evening next"
DIR. Thomas may have been present
and took a whirl in the enhancing
waltz. He at least would enjoy wit
Messing others. DIR. Thomas is one oil

due one of the other boys from Musselshell
out to look the lost tsamster up.
On Saturday last he discovered traces of
the outfit and tracked it up to a point
about eight miles from Junction City, where
the wagon was found turned completely
over and under the bed was discovered the
dead body OF James Boiling. The team
was found q few miles distant with parts
OF the harness still c~linging to them, and
were in good condition. 1t was demon
stratsd that Boiling had lest the road when
a few miles cut from Junction City, from
which place he left the mex day after Ell
Cooley had departed. and that in attempt
ing to find his way in the dark he had
driven about through that broken country
until finally the wagon had overturned,
crushing him under the load. and there he
had lain, probably instantly killed by the
shock. Coroner Chapple was informed o.
the finding Of the body, and together with
Harry Ramsey went down to Junction, i'm
psneled n jury and viewed the remains

BETTER PRICES FOR BEEF

Cattlemen have seen hard lines for
a number of years, each season hop
ing for better prices, which did not
come. But it now seems that the
prospects for higher figures next sea-
son are reduced to a certainty. The
commission house of Keenan, & Sons,
OF Chicago, in their annual review OF
their business for the past year has
this to say OF the future prospects:
"Ws are constantly receiving letters
asking our views OF the future cattle,
hog and sheep market. We can only
give our views as they appear to us as
commission men after making inqui-
ries among customers throughout
the different parts of the country. In
the first place, the cattle fed during
last spring and summe on cheap corn
have been marketed. The failure OF
the corn crop in Nebraska, Kansas
and portions of Iowa, Illinois and
Missouri, has decreased the number on
feed at least 80 per cent. throughout
the orn feeding states. This alone
will lessen our receipts during the year
1891 over one million cattle. This
alone should give us better prices,
while we believe there will be some re
strictions taken off by the English and
other governments that will increase
our foreign demand. Besides, We think
that foreign governments have become
satisfied by this time that our cattle
are in a good healthy condition. We
also believe that the present high
price OF corn will cause less cattle to
be put on feed during the spring and
summer. Taking everything into con
sideration, we look for a million less
cattle nextyear and for one dollar per
cwt. advance on the general average
of prices for the year 1891.

State Teachers Meeting.

The State Teachers Association held it's
annual meeting at Helena last week. There
was a large attendance of teachers from
various parts of the state. Able addresses
were delivered by prominent educators and
much interest manifested in the proceedings.
Following 10 an extract from Gov. Teole's
address OF welcoms:
have been a passive, but interested OBJ
server OF your proceedings from year to
year, and have noted the enthusiasm and
energy which have attended your dslibsra-
tions. What | have seen preverilies the
prediction that you are destined tie provea
tower Of strength in moulding the thought
aud shaping the policy of the State in the
years to come. Certain it is that your in
fiusnce will he widespread and far-reaching
it that direction. We are accustomed to
boast OF the richness of cur mines Of gold
silver, lead, copper and iron. We talk
glibly OF our rank ranges, lat cattle, fast
horses, fine tiOcks, fertile fields, fabulous
forests, majestic mountains, sunny skies,
wonderful waters, and still more wonderful
winds, sometimes of silky softnsss, spice
laden from the tropics, and known to US
as the blessed Chinook" but these alone
do not constitute a state. National wealth. is
not the only standard of greatness, northe
''sumum bonum" ofthe citizen. Daniel vas
once called upon by a mighty citizen to re-
peat and interpret a forgotten dream. The
prophet declared that the vision which the
King had seen in the night, and which he
had vaiEly attempted to recall, bodied forth
q collosal figure. the head Of which was of
gold, the arms and waist OF silver, the rest
OF the body ofbrass, the legs ofiron and clay.
We are told that a stone cut from a noun
tain dashed down against il and ground il
to pieces, and the wind blew against it and
il was seen no more.
This formidable figure mounted upon q
pedestal OF copper fringed with lead does
notinaptiy represent the principal resources
that decorate our State, but these will not
satisfy our States demands. Something
else must be added or wsshall not be unlike

1t is yours to inculcate and maintain
these public virtues in a great measure in

2S4,659 a year ago. Figures for the
first ten months of 1880 for the whole
United States show total importa-
tions of S7,944,19I pounds, in COM
parison with 10, 72l,456 for a COR
responding time last year, and in con
sequence there is n lessened amount OF
foreign wool on the market, and i'm
fact there is a very marked improve
ment in the wooden goods business.
Supplies of wool i'm the United States
cannot be considered burdensome.
The only weak spot in the outlook is
the probability of increased importa-
items of foreign woods after the begin
ming OF the year.

The Republican senator's have per-
fected a financial bill, which, while it
does not embrace all that every Re
publican would like to see in such a
measure, promises to afford speedy
relief to the money market, without
going to the dangerous extreme OF an
over-inflation of the currency, and for
that reason alone it should speedily
become a law. But will it? Will the
Democrats who have been processing
so much distress on account OF the
financial ~stringency, allow this relief
measure to be adopted without I'M
necessary delay, or will they, true to
the past record OF theirparty, attempt
to delay or defeat it by Offering i'm
practicable amendments and by re-
sorting to filibustering?
