Some time since there was organized
in this city court of the Catholic Or
der of Foresters but not until Wednes-
day evening was it gotten into full
working order. Large delegations
from ST. Cloud and Melrose came up
to install officers. There were nearly a
hundred members fromthese two courts
and they were met at the train by the
band, and escorted to the hotel. In
the evening the Opera House was used
for public installation, and the inte-
resting ceremony was witnessed by a
large audience. The following are the
officers:
Chief Ranger-M Hogan.
Asst Chief Ranger-M Schwartz.
! Past Chief Ranger-F E Minnette.
Rec. Secy-T. J. Kiileen.

The St. Paul Dispatch has the fol-
lowing advice from ST. Cloud:
1t is understood that the Jefferson
club of this city is no more, and that
it has gone into the whenceness whence
it came. This political club, which did
.herioc work for Hon. Charles A.Towne
William J.,Bryan and others, during
the recent campaign, was reorganized
after election, and it is said that this
step was for the especial purposes of
gaining control of the city Offices. Be
this as it may, it is said that the club
membership recently notified the Jesse
of their hall that they would no longer
require it for meeting purposes, and it
does not appear that they have secured
other quarters. 1t is quite evident
that the club has ''gone out of bust
ness" and that their campaign OF
education met an early death.

The Lake Minnewaska sea serpent
was shot by hunter, near Starbuck,
the other day, but sunk under the ice.
But the critter is dead just the same,
and as soon as the ice goes out his
body will be fshed up. 1t was not a
large serpent, as sea serpents go not
half as large as the story which tells
OF it. 1t was a paltry hundred feet
long and not much bigger around than
barrel, and its head was only about
the size of that of full grown draft
horse. 1t was probably the kid of the
family.

SAYS the Pioneer Press of Tuesday

Senator Keller's sugar beet bill was
passed yesterday by the senate under
suspension of the rules. And now the
Little Democrat from Stearns is
happy. If the sugar beet industry
should become firmly established in
Minnesota the credit will all be due to
Senator Henry Keller, who has worked
early and late all through the season
in behalf of his pet proposition.
Laughed at at first, the sentiment has
steadily grown in favor of the beet SUI
gar industry, until now there is scarce
ly member of the Legislature but
realizes that the beet sugar industry
will bring Minnesota farmers millions
of dollars.

AfbOr Day.

Friday, the Both day of April, has
been set apart by the Governor of Min
nesota for the observance of Arbor
Day. Arbor Day has become anational
holiday, and one of our important in
situations. 1t is now not only a day
for tree planting, for economic and
aesthetic purposes, but one for Sc @ur-
ing much valuable knowledge in re-
gard to plant and tree life, and for
kindling in the minds of the young an
interest in natural objects which will
be lifelong source of benefit and
pleasure.
Nothing contributes SO much as trees
to make the world a pleasant place of
abode for man. He must have trees
around his dwelling place for their
shelter and their shade; but estimated
by their money value alone, the pro-
ducts of the forest exceed those from
almost any other source. In the year
1894, the gold and silver produced in
the United States was valued at about
81, 100000. In the same year the pr O.
ducts of our forests were valued at
over 81, 900, OOO,O
Arbor Day is educational in the best
and largest sense. BY engaging pupils
in the study of trees by actual obser-
yation and handling them, their OBJ
serving faculties are cultivated, and
their minds are easily led on form the
study of trees, to that of towering
plants, shrubs, and all natural objects.
Such training forms one of the best
equipments for successri in life in what
ever employment one may be engaged,
and is a neyer-failing source of enjoy
msnt. Arbor Day promises to do more
than anything else to convert us from
a nation of wanton destroyers of trees
to one of tree planters and protectors.

Ex-senator Daugherty, formerly re-
presenting the Duluth district, now
retired from politics, who is in Wash
ington writes:
81 have been in Washington week
and have had good chance to see
how Page Morris is working. 1 can
truly say that we have made no mis-
take in his selection. I am surprised
to notice how high he stands among
the members of the house, and he al
ready has leading position in all
matters that come up.
Congressman Morris has not taken
his eye off the Duluth appropriation
and did good work in keeping the sum
the same as it was in the bill that
passed the last congress, and it now
looks as if it would pass the senate.
81 no not think there is another con-
gresham here who works as hard as
Morris, and if things do not come out
right it won't be his fault. He does
not send his clerk to look after mat
ters, but from early until late is on
the move himself. They tell me he did
great work in the interest of lumber
and against strong opposition kept
the duty up to where it finally passed
the house, and even now is looking
after it all the time.
81 started out with Congressman
Morris one day, and after three or
four hours gave up, tired out, and
made up my mind that his job was
worth all he received for it. He Is
taking the right move in getting we'll
acquainted in the different depart
ments, and in time good results are
sure to follow"

Sugar beet Profits.
SugarB Profits Member
muchin tHkorca patch Duluth

There is much Information Tor AISC0fiC
tilted with sugar interests in a report Just IS
sued by the agricultural department at Wash
ington on the sugar beet. In reviewing the
cost of manufacture, it says that in II3 fac
tories reporting in Germany, the mean net
profit for each factory was $50, 24o for the past
wear. The price reported paid for beets is
usually fictitious, the beet growers owning
the factory and preferring to share the gen
.eral profits rather than to charge high price
for the beets. First class beets rarely sell
for less than S. ton. The Western Beet
Sugar company, of Watsonville, Cal, stated
that IN the season 1850, the cost of manu-
featuring sugar from the beets amounted to
$So.oS per ten of sugar. The department
holds now that with the best machinery and
most economical profits, beet sugar can be
made in this country at a cost of from to 4
cents per pound when the price of rich beets
does not exceed S. a ton. From reliable data
it is stated that in Europe the cost OF erect
ing a factory with best modern machinery
of capacity of at least 800 tons of beets per
day, is about $500, 900. In this country o"-
ing to increased cost of transportation and
the higher price of labor, the cost would pro-
bodily be $4,000. The report discounte-
nances cheap manufacturing processes, and
holds out no reasonable hope of successfully
establishing a home beet sugar factory, but
predicts with cooperative factory methods
practiced in Europe, in which beet-growing
farmers hold part or majority OF the stock,
will eventually come into use here. Of H.
-672,8I6 metric tons of beets delivered to the
German factories in ISe5.e6, there were p
$4,000 tons grown by shareholders.
Seven beet sugar factories are now shown
to be in operation in this country, and four
Others are building or contemplated.
The rate of increase in sugar. consumption
for twenty-three years has been o7S per cent
in the United States, I42 in France, I59 in
Germany, Io7 in Austria, and 90 in England.

Our Member.

Ir7------ uleuDer VI COuSrcsS
from this district.
During the present extra session
there has been practically nothing for
member of congress to do, and hence
no opportunity for him to display
what ability he has. Therefore no es-
innate can be formed of Mr.. Morris
capabilities as legislator until the
regular session convenes. The first few
months of that session will either make
or break him. He comes to congress
with considerable prestige and has al
ready made many friends upon the
Republican side.
Judge Morris, so far has not taken
any very active hand in the patronage
distribution in the North Star state.
He has assumed the position that he
will be satisfied with whatever offices
are assigned to the members, and not
attempt to interfere with any spoils
which, it is decided, legetimately be-
long to the senators. OF course he will
work with either of the senator's to Sc
cure the appointment of any office
seeker from his district. He has said
upon several occasions, however, that
those appointments which it was de-
cided should be his he wanted and
would insist upon having them. 1t is
probable that he will have the Oppor-
tunity to name only the postmasters,
and that the senators will claim the
selection of the postmaster at Duluth
as we'll as the collector, land office Of
ficials and other federal officers
other than postmasters.
Senator Nelson, when in congress,
claimed the appointment of the land
officers in his district, and it is said
that his claim was allowed. Judge
Morris, however, is not likely to assist
upon filling these places.
There are many matters of local in
terest to the Sixth Minnesota district
pending in congress and for which
Representatives Baldwin and Towne
paved the way for passage. Some OF
them are of great Importance, and at
the regular session Judge Morris will
have abundant. opportunity to demon
strate what he can do in the house.
AS he is in full accord with the speak
er upon all political questions, he
should have no difficulty in securing
recognition, He must display his tact
| in pacifying members of the oppOsi-
tion. His career will be watched with
interest by both his friends and politi-
cal opponents.
The HERALD correspondent may
rest assured that Mr.. Morris will fully
maintain the reputation for ability
and efficiency which this district has
gained by reason of the members who
have proceeded him.

BIG STRIKE AT rEARL.
Fine Gold Lead Developed In the King
Mine.


Captain Bledsoe, who came In from
Willow creek yesterday after having
completed some assessment worl. in
that district, reports that an important
strike has been made in the King
mine at Pearl, says the Boise States
man.
Some months ago n fine ledge of ore
was opened in this property. The ore
carried both gold and silver. Some of
1t was very rich. This high grade ore
carries practically all its value in sill
Yer. Specimens brought into the city
showed great leaves of the pure metal.
1t was the first silver strike of any
consequence made in that district and
great interest was felt in 1t.
Since the silver ore was opened the
owners have been prospecting the
property further and this has been
productive of still more important re-
suits. The silver lead is on the south
side of porphyry dyke. The work
that has been done since il was opened
has been with the view of prospecting
the north side of the dyke.
a drift has been run through the
dyke. which is about so feet thick.
on the north side a gold vein has been
found that is as rich in gold as the
other is in silver. Parties who have
seen the property say much of the ore
q remarkable showing. The streak of
rich ore is some 80 inches in thickness.
Captain Bledsoe says there have
been no other very rich strikes in the
district recently, but the work that has
been done during the fall and early
winter has resulted in some very good
bodies of ore being developed. The
miners feel encouraged over the out
look and anticipate i good season in
