The suoar Beet Industry.

This country annually sends out
500, ,000. 900 to purchase sugar grown IN
other parts of the earth. Secretary
Wilson Of the national department o.
apricu,ture believes that in a compare
lively short time we may keep that
money at home, distributing it among
tho tillers of the soil and the manufac-
turers. He has such faith in this that
he is making it the hobby of his ad-
ministration He proposes to send out
TO farmers 5000 tons of beet seed. Ii a
successful crop results the beet sugar
manufactures will follow on the heels
of the production. From IS to $l5 pro-
fit net per acre is estimated for loeali-
ties where the factories are not far dis
tant. 1t is said that soil which VIII
produce Indian corn, wheat or potatoes
in abundance will produce sugar beets
to advantage. But what experience
has shown to be the best conditions for
raising the beets will be confined with
in a much smaller area. The most
favorable conditions, other things such
as abundant rainfall and a soil of
sandy loan aside, are found in zone
about 200 miles wide, through the cen
ire of which runs the isothermal line OF
20 degrees f. for the months of June.
July and August The course of this
line is described as follows: Beginning
in this country near the city OF New
York it passes up the Hudson river 10
Albany: thence. turning westward, IL
runs near Syracuse and proceeds IN
southwesterly direction, touching the
shore of Lake Erie near Sandusky,
Ohio: assuming, then, a northwesterly
direction it enters Michigan and reaches
its highest point in that state near
Lansing; next, taking a southwesterly
trend. ii enters the state of Indiana
near South Bend, passes through M.chi-
gan city, and then pursues a northwes-
terly course through the cities of chi
cago and Madison reaching its highest
point in Minnesota near st. Paul, thence
it inclines enthusiastically until it
reaches the state of South Dakota
where it again turns northwestwardly
and touches it's highest point in North
Dakota just above the forty-hfth paral-
lei of latitude, where it crosses the
Missouri river. The isothermal line
then turns almost due south, following
very closely the one hundred and first
degree of longitude until it leaves the
state of Nebraska, near the northeast
corner of Colorado; pursuing a south
westerly course through the last named
state, ii attains at Pueblo the one hun
dred and fifth degree of west longitude,
whence it passes in slightly southwes-
terly direction into New Mexico. turns
presently at a right angle to the west
and crosses the one hundred and fifth
degree of longitude at about the thirty
second degree of latitude Thence 1t
stretches westward in very Irregular
and furcated line through the states OF
Arizona, California. Utah, Idaho, ore
gon and Washington.

Lack Of Opinion. or Lack Of Expression.
BYRON BOYD, Secretary of state.

The returns from the Portland vote
on a new city charter, Monday, excite
a little wonder as to the position Of
those who are wont to talk big about
municipal reform" local rings,
political bosses etc. Did they vote
on Monday, or was the small vote the
results of the efforts of the political
bosses" rings" and the like? Where
was that remarkable apathy located,
among the ranks of those who profess
such interest in municipal progress,
blessings, or among those who would
lead the voters about with rings in
the noses, collars about their necks,
lashes on their backs or by means of a
strong grip of the bosses hands upon
the ears of the respective and respect
able citizens? OF course a proposed
radical revision of a city charter, such As
was subjected to the popular will at
Portland, Monday, was of sufficient inn
pOTtallce Tor every cltlHeH 10 nave dil
opinion one way or another respecting
it, AS a matter of fact it is to be pre-
sumed that many of those who COM
prise the ring and the reform
crs were Indifferent. Such indifference
is excusable in the ring that doesn't
make, any professions but it isn't eX-
cusaBle on the part of the reformers
Such indifference on their part is sim
ply an invitation for the ring to take
charge, isn't it? However, it may bl
well not to draw conclusions until it is
learned whether the smallness of the
vote is to be attributed to lack OF
opinion or to lack of expression.

Prefers Going to jail 10 Telling the Truth.

Mr.. Chapman, the stock broker of
New York. now of the district of
Columbia Jail, might have escape |
sentence by simply telling the truth
about the relations said to have ex-
listed between his firm and certain
United senators at the time the sugar
trust schedule was incorporated in the
Wilson German bill. He prefers Jail.
however, and although his Jail life will
not be uncomfortable in many ways,
nevertheless it is reasonable to suppose
that he would prefer to tell the truth if
the truth were pleasant to tell. Ac
cordingly we are left to infer that there
is something in the way of a mystery
surrounding sugar speculations of sem
ators, which they are anxious to have
remain unrevealed, and that Mr.. Chap
man rather than peach on his pals,
as one writer expresses it, will serve
