Beasts Backs Report by Frank
I. Cra mpton Who Made a Trip
Over the Passes.
Victoria, B. c., September among
the passengers who arrived on the
Queen from Skaguay to-day was Frank
l. Champion, of Mount Vernon, Wash
He went up to look over the situation
and took trip over both passes. He
says that the killing of Iorses WIS
caused largely by novices wnc do not
know how to load them. IN many in
stances the pack saddles ara allowed to
wear great holes in the horses backs.
The men who are fixing the trail will
be the first to profit by it. This has
been decided by the vigilance commit
tee and no man can go on the trail
with packs without a certificate from
the secretary that he has done so much
work on the trail.
One man who Mr.. CHAMPION saw
had gotten nearly all of his outfit over
when the trail was closed for travel.
The committee refused to let him take
the remainder of his pack over. His
entreaties did no good. In desperation
he went back and got Winchcste:,
rifle and two revolvers and held up
the committee and went through.
At Dyea and the Chilcoot Pass the
conditions are much the same as on the
Skaguay trail.

BEET SUGAR IN NEVADA,

There is no more promising fnl1 tor
the sugar industry in the Culteh
States than Nevada.
The percentage Of SAGE thri1e mater
in the beets raised ia the soil Of tbis
State is much larger thai N he Cali
fornia beet and in CelsSoinia with
land high aad fhe bees NOT as g00i
as can be produced here, millions Of
dollars are cleared off the industry.
In the calender year 1896 the United
States imported over a thousand
million pounds Of beet sugar, or to be
exact, 1862. 3S9,004 pounds Of raw
and a large additional amount Of re-
fined, not segregated from cane sugar
iG the returns. The value Of the raw
beet sugar alone was S22, 9 ,O41, and
the value Of the redrei probably
amounted % at least IS, 200, 900 more
Our imports of raw beet sugar Quin-
tupled in a single year, u purchases
in 1895 having amounted - only 203,
6O7. 429 pounds valued at S3,611 $40.
Here was an increased market of
about 30, 900, 900 in a single year for a
foreign product every pound Of which
could have been raised to better ad-
vantage in Nevada. We say nothing
just now about Our imports Of nearly
2,S50,000, 600 pounds of raw cane sugar
and our total foreign sugar bill of
500 ,214,40S, all of which could have
been saved by the development Of the
resources Of this State. But why
should we buy over $40, 1000, 900 worth
Of beeJ sugar from Germany. with its
raw climate, and its damp, cold soil.
sc incomparably Inferior to the natural
conditions prevailing in this State?
Our imports OF beet sugar from
Germany alone last year amounted to
more than the total product of forty
factories like that at Chino. Our i'm
ports Of all kinds Of sugar from al
countries would have kept two
hundred Chino factories in operation.
Is there any Nevada industry in
sight with such opportunities for ex-
pansion as this? How many In
employed would there be in Nevada if
we had forty sugar factories each on
sumilg the products of 10000 acres Of
land?

Carson is reported to be elated over
the prospect Of securing a lottery
company for the city. With prize
fight privileges, licensed faro banks,
a lottery company and a large dele
cation of imported sports, il might be
possible for an ambitious party to
locate on the desert and secure a sand

The Bulletin seems to overlook the
fact that a regular lottery company
the Little Louisiana-is rnnning
openly in San Francisco and has
been doing a regular business the re-
in open violation of the law for about
ten years. The Bulletin editor will
probably find at least 100 of the lot

eloquent mar on the Pacific Coast he
proposes to plead his own cause. If
Mckinley finds out that Thomas has

And in the interest of American
