The Beet Sugar Belt.

Minneapolis Tribune: The Des
Moines Register relates an Interesting
Iowa experiment with beet sugar. Col.
Swain of Oskaloosa obtained 80 pack
ages of the best seed in Germany and
France. distributed the seed to farmers
and sent the product to the government
for analysis. The result reported is, that
the required GA per cent" beets can be
grown in every county in Iowa, and that
the average yield twenty tons of beets,
or 5000 pounds of sugar, per acre. Ne
braska last season raised 100000
pounds of sugar. The average cost of
beet raising was 500 per acre, and the
average price of beets 81 per ton, or $50
per acre. The tops and pulp make ex-
cellent cattle feed and fertilizer, and the
crop leaves the ground in greatly i'm
proved condition.
What is true of Iowa in regard to rails
ing the sugar beet, holds good for two
thirds of Minnesota. Prof. H. w. Wiley,
chemist of the government department
of agriculture and director of the Ne
braska beet-sagar experiment station,
says:
AS a result of man years of careful eX-
Fermentation, it may be said that as far
as temperature alone is concerned the
sugar beet attainS its greatest perfection
in a zone Of varying width through the
center OF which passes the iSOthermal line
OF 10 degrees fahrenheit for the months Of
June, july and August.
The lsothermal line is then described
as passing through Chicago and Midi
son, thence running northwesterly to
near the Twin Cities, and then passing
into South Dakota near the North Du-
kota line. "Extendihg a distance of 100
miles on each side of this isothermal
line,' says Prof. Wiley, SIS a belt, which,
for the present, may be regarded as the
beet sugar area of the United States"
Therefore st. Paul and MINNEAPOLIS
are in the heart of the sheet sugar area"
and two-thirds of Minnesota, one-half of
North Dakota and all of South Dakota,
are safely within the sugar beet belt.
Experiments should be conducted in this
state during the coming season i'll such
a manner as to make a thorough practi-
cal test of our beet sugar capacities.

sent for you you ought to have gone and

not do it; every turn I made there was

"the only way I see out of it is to get out

Barney Flynn was called by defense
and testified as to the meeting had be-
tween Mr. Davis, Mr.. Swenson and him
self, substantially the same as Mr.. Davis
testified.
Mr.. Flynn was then turned over to the
prosecution. Mr.. Register, the states
attorney, asked for an adjournment until
morning. He said he had some further
and important information to offer and
did not want to c~ross-examine Flynn
until morning. Court then adjourned
until 9 a. N.

To the Citizens of North Dakota,

A stirring appeal has been made to the
millers of the United States to contrib
ute a ship load of -four to the starving
Russian peasants, 20,000.O00 of whom are
now without any food whatever, and
their physical condition is so reduced
that smallpox and other diseases are
working sad havoc in their midst. The
millers of North Dakota have subscribed
$4,000 pounds of flour, subject to in
crease of double the amount-with a
view of giving the people of our state an
opportunity to contribute to this most
worthy charity. The millers have ap-
pointed the following committee to re-
ceive cash subscriptions from the
charitably inclined. Our state
has been blessed with a
most bountiful yield and the
millers feel confident that North Dakota
will respond literally to this call upon
them, as the suffererers are like them
selves-farmers-and our contribution
may bring the starved populace of the
stricken district to a realization
that North Dakota offers not
only a haven for the crown ridden
people of Europe, but extends it's hands
in charity to those who cannot come.
Subscriptions of churches and individ-
uals should be sent to any of the follow
ing members: The North Dakota
Millers' association, Arthur Miller, Val
ley City, N. d.; John M. Turner, Man
dan, N. D.; William s. Vent, Glendale,
N. D:
Fol convenience of collection contrib
utors may leave subscriptions with their
nearest miller, for which receipts will be
given.

Advertising Our Coal.

There is one thing sure, the west Mis-
souri, country is getting a great deal of
good advertising out of the present dis
cussion over the railroad rates on the
shipments of Ignite coal, whether Dick
inson should have the same tariff rate as
Sims or not. Comm issioner Walsh, in a
recent interview, said: "With reference
to that petition from Morton county to
the railroad commissioners, asking for
the restoration of the same rate as last
year for transportation of coal from
Dickinson, the facts simply are that the
present rates are exactly the same as
under the territorial regulation. Last
year Mr.. Underwood, then a member of
the board, who | believe is father-in-lav
of Mr.. c. a. McGillivray, the owner of
the Dickinson mines, secured a reduc-
ton of rates in favorof Dickinson, which
resulted in closing the mines at Sims the
entire year. Shortly after the present
board entered office the Sims people filed
two complaints, complaining of the dis
elimination against them and in favor of
Dickinson and asked the board to secure
a corresponding reduction in rates from
Sims. This request was laid before
Traffic Manager Hannaford and refused
by him on the ground that rates were
already lower than actual cost OF trans
portation aid lower than the rates al
lowed by the law of 1890. Mr.. Hanna
ford, however, acknowledge d the injus-
tlce OF the discrimination in favor of
Dickinson which, he said, was granted
at the urgent solicitation of Mr.. Under
wood, and, while refusing to lower the
rate from Sims, voluntarily decided there
and then to restore the former rate from
Dickinson, which he Immediately did,
That is all there is of it. The ditferen-
tial between Dickinson and Sims is now
less than the mlSsimum rates fixed bv
law. The commissioners are hardly re-
sponsible for the fact that the Dickinson
mines are farther from market than the
mines at Sims nor for the incompetent
management of the Sims mines. There
is an abundance of coal there for the
whole western country if properly

[From Sundays Daily,

In the district court yesterday morn
ing Mr.. Barney Flynn was cross-exam-
ined by Mr.. Cochrane. He said that
Mr.. Swenson had, on the evening pre-
vious to his going away, handed the
witness some papers and told him that
he would get away if he could. On the
night after Swenson returned. Messrs.
Boucher, Philbrick and Barnes were all
at his (Flynn's) house. Mr.. Swenson had
asked witness to recommend a lawyer to
him, and he had said that there was a
good lawyer just on the hill-Mr.
Boucher. Mr.. Flynn denied that he had
taken an active interest on the side of
the defense, or that he had tried to get
Swenson to employ the defendants at
torney.
P. H. Byrne called by the defense
Testified he knew Swenson and had talk
with him on the 26th of November, at
Atheneum, regarding an article that had
appeared in the Bismarck TRIBUNE
signed Seventy FLYER, in which Sven
son said he felt cheap about it. Byrne
said ut wasn't true about you, was it?"
and Swenson said "Why, no." and that's
all there was to the conversation.
The defense rested.
On rebuttal the prosecution called for
Pyatt Dunn, who testified that he was
thirteen years old. He remembered cleo
ton day and was in Healy's store and
saw Swenson and Healy together. This
was two or three days before election.
Saw Swenson and Healy go back into
the office and close the door. He DUNN
was out in the store and Will Healy was
putting up some cookies for HIM. Saw
Healy and Swenson come out of office.
On cross-examination said the time he
was in store was about 1890 and it Was
only two or three days before election.
Saw no n but Swenson and Healy in
store at time he was in. Thought it was
on Monday before election he saw Sven
son and Healy together. Was positive
he saw the two 60 into the office.
Mr.. Mason vas recalled and testified.
that be knew Barney Flynn and had had.
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1891-12-25

various interviews of Swenson with diff
ferent persons during the past sixty days
in relation to this matter. He commended
that Mr.. Healy was a truthful man
and that he was also a cautious man. He
knew the kind of people he was dealing
with and had his son act as a spy, if you
please, on the particular occasion when
it is charged the crime was committed,
for that reason. Mr.. Boucher made an
eloquent and forcible plea for his client
and was congratulated by his col
leagues.
Mr.. Cochrane, assisting the states at.
torney, then closed the case for the pro-
secutlon II mi of the most mastery
efforts aver heard in the Burleigh county
court room. He also reviewed the whole
testimony, weaving therefrom an entirely
different story from that made by Mr..
Boucher for the defense. He painted
out the Inconsistencies and conhictions,
particularly in the testimoney of Ander-
son Healy and his son Will Healy; how
the father had stated positively that
after the time of the meeting with
Swenson-held. as Healy testified ON the
2lst of October, but as Swenson de-
clared at a later date-Swenson be-
came a good customer at the store
in fact almost a daily customer.
But Will Healy, son of the defendant,
told an entirely different story; said that
Swenson was not a regular customer and
that between the dates of the 21st of o.
tober and the 23d of November Swenson
was not in the store over four times. He
called the particular attention of the
jury to the unreasonableness of the story
of the defense; pictured the condition of
the minds of the two men-Swenson and
Healy-one in search of votes, the other
III search of immunity from the crime
with which he was charged and for which
he was soon to be tried. How natural
that two minds in that condition would
be susceptible of close and
sympathetic relations. And Ma
son, the important witness
and informer against.Swenson, under OBJ
legations to Healy, how natural for Healy
to offer assistance to Swenson, in the
manner charged, in return for a favor OF
similar Importance to himself. He
asked the jury to disabuse their minds
of all prejudice and render a verdict on
the testimony. He maintained that the
state had made a clear case and that the
story of the defense could not be main
tanned by reason or by the evidence
submitted. Mr.. Cochrane spoke
an hour before supper and
an hour after, and by his oratory enter
tanned at least, if not influenced, the Jury
and the audience. He thanked the court
for his fair and impartial rulings and the
jury for its kind attention.
The judge then charged the jury. 1t
was a long charge, in which a great deal
of law was quoted bearing on the case.
1t was a charge admitted on all sides to
be absolutely fair and impartial.
The jury retired at 1870.

The following is aScopy Of a letter
written by Farmer Wallace in reply to
enquiries from S. A. B~lomquist, immigra-
ton agent Of the Northern Pacific:
BISMARCK, N. D., Dec. II, 1891.
5. A. Blomquist, Esq, st. Paul, iuiirn.:
Dear Sir: In reply to yours of the
10th inst. L will say that other work has
prevented my answering more promptly,
and also will not give me time to 90 into
details IN giving you a statement of the
present condition and outlook of the ag-
r%icultural interests in this portion of the
state of North Dakota.
1t is gratifying to me to be able to
state that our farmers in Burleigh and
other Missouri valley counties are very
generally satisfied, and, having galnedi in
experience, in improvements and equip
ments for conducting their farms and
raising stock, they now look forward
with high hopes and great confidence to
the accomplishment of their original
deslres-that is, to build for themselves
and families good homes and provide the
necessary food and raiment, education
and all that is calculated to make them
comfortable and contented.
You need have no Hesitation in saying
to those who seek information in regard
to North Dakota that the-man of moder-
ate means who is in search of land to be-
gin anew, to open a farm and build w a
home, that he will find it here, and will
meet a friendly greeting. The industri-
GUS, we'll behaved laborer, either on the
farm or in the coal mine, will secure
regular employment at very good wages.
1t is also an inviting field for skilled Ia
Dor of all kinds. Those who desire to
enter into stock-raising, either by at
tending to the work in person or letting
it out on shares, to those who under
stand our country, climate and the bust
ness, will find a field for all the capital
they can command.
Those who wish to operate larger
farms, a section or two in extent, will
now be able to buy the most suitable
land at very low prices, in excellent To-
cations.
Those who have capital to invest in
our state, county, municipal or school
securities will NOT find in tho TIn;+ol
states a more reliable principal and
prompt interest paying list of obliga-
tons.
The people of this state are all ear.
nestly working to make it a populous
and prosperous one, and in this work
they have the assistance of capitalists
and corporations of great wealth, who
have invested here or are the owners of
land granted by the government for the
building o. railroads and other improve
