REDMEN ARRIVING FROM
MANY TRIBES.

The first six months Of the open
ing Of the reservation was up Mon
day, says the Lewiston Tribune
A little over a half million acres
were thrown open to settlement last
fall, of which not hall has yet been
filed upon. The land Office records
show there have been 1888 filings
and sixty-eight contests, Of which
only six are to be heard The av-
erage cost of a contest in the local
land Office is only about $40, but
there is so much vacant land that
contestants are easily bluffed off,
There is a large quantity Of unsur-
veyee land on the reservation on
which there have been over q hun
dred sqnatters, who have made APP
plIcations for filing. There are al
together about $50 filings in sus-
pense from one cause or another,
such as proof Of naturalization,
lands unsurveyed and in conflict
with other filings The town of
Nezperce was proven up Saturday,
the amount paid in the land Office
being $608,51
A telegram has been received
from Washington stating that the
deferred Nez Perez payment of
$4,000 might be expected about
June 18th. This apparently un-
necessary and friyulous delay
struck the Indians as being SO in
tolerable that strong remon-
STRANGE was prepared and forwarded
to Washington asking for an imme-
diate payment Of the debt.
1t may be noticed that the usual
large number of Nez Perces on the
streets has become markedly dimin-
lshed during the last few days

selected for this years rendezvous

Walt. Mason, the 'poet laureate, "
of Nebraska, thus tells why he
would like to be a boy again: I
would like to be a boy again with
out woe or care, with freckles
scattered on my face and hayseed
in my hair. I'd like to rise at four
O'Clock and do a hundred chores,
and saw the wood and feed the hogs
and lock the stable doors; and herd
the hens and watch the bees and
take the mules to drink and teach
the turkeys how to swim SO that
they wouldn't sink; and milk about
hundred COWS and bring in wood
to burn, and stand out in the sun
all day and dhurn and churn; and
wear my brothers cast off clothes
and walk four miles to school and
get a licking every day for break
ing some old rule; and then walk
home again at night and do the
chores once more and milk the
COWS and feed the hogs and curry
mules galore; and then crawl wear
lily up stairs and seek my little bed
and hear dad y: That worth
less boy! He doesn't earn his
breadW I'd like to be boy again;
boy has so much fun; his life is
Just a round or mirth from rise to
set Of sun; | guess there's nothing
pIeasanter than closing stable doors,
and herding hens and chasing bees
and doing evening chores.

WIFI SUGAR BEETS PAY?

: Many persons who have become
somewhat interested in the question
of producing sugar in Clarke coun-
ty have recently remarked to me
that they could not see any profit
in growing beetS at as low a price
as a per ton, and therefore did not
feel encouraged to experiment In a
business which seemed to them so
unpromising. TO convince those
who are in doubt as to the profits
of beet culture it will be well to
show what opinions are held on this
subject by men who have had many
years experience in growing beets
on a large scale. | have recently
had some correspondence with Mr..
r NJ Allen, of Ames, Nebraska,
who has been growing sugar beets
for many years past, and keeping
careful record Of the cost and prof
| its of the work.
His 500-acre patch" of beets
| yielded in 1898 a crop of 8, 1873 tons
or bout 173 tons to the acre, many
parts Of the tract gave a yield of
over 20 tons, and n one case
reached 30 tons to the acre. In
| 1894, Nebraska suffered from the
worst drouth ever experienced, but
while all other crops proved a fail
ure, the 569-acre tract at Ames
Welded 5,803 tons of beets, over 10
tons to the acre. While the yield
was low, the sugar contents were
very high, nearly Is per cent, SO
that if the heets had been paid for
ON a sliding scale the crop would
have been worth %48 an acre.
The cost Of growing this crop
amounted TO %38 an acre, according
10 a carefully kept account, of all
expenses. The work was all done
by hired labor, and Of course as a
large number of hands had to be
employed all were not of the most
efficient kind. Mr.. Allen is Of the
opinion that when laborers can be
obtained who have had practice in
hoeing and thinning the beets the
cost can be greatly reduced.
Now, if Nebraska land will pro-
duce III tons to the acre in an av-
erage year and 10 tons in year of
drouth, | can see no reason to doubt
that we can with proper cultivation
grow crops Of from 20 to 30 tons
an acre. This, of course, could
hardly be expected at the start, for
there is very little land in this
country in a thorough enough con-
dition of cultivation TO give the
best results with a crop like the
sugar beet, but with deep blowing,
thorough cultivation, and a proper
understanding of the business on
the part of the grower, we ought in
our mild, moist and equable eli
mate to attain results equal to those
of the most favorable years in Ne
braska.
Will beets pay? A crop of 20
tons worth from 81 to $3.50 ton
means $50 or 800 an acre. Even
supposing the labor cost reaches
$40, there remains a net profit OF
$40 to $50 to the owner, Compare
this with crop of fifty bushels OF
oats at poe; 20 bushels of wheat at
soc, or two tons Of hay at So, and
compute the cost in labor of pro
ducing these crops, 1t is evident
that there is practically no net
profit in them, and in many cases

because there is no market for it. the
usual outlets for il having been stopped
up with imported wool and imported
wooden goods.
The speculative movement in anticipa-
ton of the Dinglcy bill facilitated wool
imports, and not the need of wool by
American manufacturers. The in
creased imports of fabrics represent
losses inflicted upon American wooden
manufacturers by the Wilson bill and
profits pocketed by the owners of Eu-
ropean mills. 1t is estimated that the
surplus woolens brought in last year

the capacity of the American people to

Until this surplus of imported woolens
can be disposed of. There is no ques-
tion about il, but the decreased pur-
chasing power of the nation offsets the
increased quantity of woolens required
by reason of any increase in popula
ton, so that the increase in the i'm
ports over and above the average
quantity imported during the McKin-
ley period represents to that extent the
degree OF lessened employment for
American machinery. The proof of It
is in the array of idle machinery.
