Should Make Our Own Sugar.

There are eight beet sugar factories
in this country, as against 1915 in
Germany, France, Russia and Austria,
and as consequence we pay one hun
dred and twenty-five million dollars
year to foreigners for sugar. A large
proportion of this might be produced
at home, for this country has as good
land, climate, and everything that
goes to make beet sugar raising profit
able. The talk of the influence OF Ha-
waiian annexation disturbing the beet
sugar industry is the veriest rot, for
out of the 100000 tons OF sugar an
nually used in this country, Hawaii
has never produced more than 275,-
600 tons, while the product of this
country is about 100000 tons, leaving
nearly two million tons to be import
ed from Europe. The bulk of this
foreign sugar comes from Germany,
which discriminates against American
products in every possible way. The
lesson of the situation is to increase
our beet sugar farms and factorles.-

What the Divers Found.

Washington. Feb. 26.-The Even
ing Star has received the following
cablegranrarom Chas Pepper, It's stall
correspondent;
At this wri ting divers are develop
inc important results. From the ex-
animation of the inner wreck age they
have secured evidence which seems
conclusive that the explosion came
from undcrneat the ship. Some OF
the smaller magazines may have ex-
nloded The main, 10 inch magazine,
did not explode The condition OF
the interior of the ship shows further
probability of the wreck having been
dne TO outside force. The further the
investigation progresses, the more I'M
tenable becomes the theory which the
Spanish government adduced to show
accidental cause. 1t is evident the
Spanish case will be based on the
c lain that fire preceded the explosion.
Captain Sampson and his colleagues
of the naval board say that outside ev-
idence is offered regarding the torpedo
fiat producing the explosion. Said
one diver, who had been engaged in
the work of getting bodies out from
under the hatch:
"God may be merciful to the men
who blew those poor fellows into eter-
nifty; the United States should not"
This was long before Longs order
prohibiting the officers from talking
had been issued. This diver evidently
thought the explosion was not an ac-
cident. He had an experts capacity
and opportunity for judging. The
Havana public is not permitted tt
know the intensity of public senti
ment in the United States. Only thu
meager details are permitted to bt
known of what happens in Washing
ton.
Congress is watched with excessive
anxiety by palace officials, but the
populace knows nothing of what is Ii
able to happen. Evidence of ill-feel
ing towards the American people an(
anxiety over the Maine disaster doe
not lessen. The Maine inquiry dwarf
interest in Cuban politics, but recen
developments carry an official confess
ion of the failure of autonomy.

Nevada Carried q Fortune.

ga late issue of the skaguay News,
just received by Captain Gosse, of the
Canadian Pacific Navigation steamer
Tees, states, apparently on good evil
dence, that sixtyfve lives were lost
with tee converted revenue cutter, the
O'Brien party on their way back to
California from the upper Yukon gold
fields being OF the number, and taking
their joint fortune, variously estim at
ed from $4,000 to $4,000, to the
bottom with them," says the Victoria
Colonist.
"The wreck having been located in
but four fathoms of water on the east
ernmost point of Eldred Island, there
is more than a possibility that this
treasure may be found, as we'll as any
bodies that have been held by the ex-
plosion- torn hull.

"One OF the boats still hung on the

they would not have aft orded safety in

have been reported washed ashore is
explained by the fact that in all the

Cleveland's Forest Reserve.

In calling attention today to the
fact that the Cleveland Forestry reg
serve goes into full force and effect to-
morrow Hon:.fF. G. Deckebacheregister
of the->United States Land office at
Olympic, pointed out that its effect
#ill practicallys~.sMipe Jefferson and
Clallam counties off the face OF the
earth. "While the result of this giant
reserve will be more disastrous TO the
risaterests of those two counties than
any of the others" said Mr.. Deckebach,
"the counties OF Chehalis and Mason
suffer the cutting out from develop
ment of large and valuable .arens OF
thei1 territory. The fact is" IL con-
tinued, "that the effect of this reserve
is going to pretty effectually block all
development of the Olympic peninsula
for years to come"
Mr.. Deckebach has been Investigate
ing the extent of territory embraced
in this reserve and finds that of the
entire area of Clallam county l,l6I,-
24O acres, the reserve takes approx
mately so per cent, or 92l ,6OO acres
OF it, leaving only 239,64O acres not
embraced within the reserve. Jeffer-
son county fares even worse than
Clallam, about 81 per cent of her total
area of l, 1O1 ,O20 acres being embraced
in the reserve, taking 921 900 acres
and leaving but 1920 acres. Che
halls loses 100000 acres from total
area of 1858 acres, leaving out
side the limits 95S, 800 acres, so thai
her loss is about 80 per cent. Mason
is a smallscounty, and of her tota
area of 614,SS0 acres there is taken in
to the reserve 2O7 800 acres, or about
25 per cent, while the area lett outside
the reserve embraces 404, 500 acres.
The register believes that this re-
serve will retard for many years the
development of the Olympic peninsu
la, IN that it will check the building
of railroads, withhold settlement, pre-
vent the progress of her cities ant
towns and withhold from the taxable
valuation of the state a great deal o
property.
By the terms of the act passed bi
the special session of congress las
summer the Cleveland reserves take
full effect March LIST, unless meantime
modified or set aside by executive pro
clamation.
An investigation of the reserved
territory was then inaugurated, bul
the time allotted for this investiga-
ton of the great reserves has beer
wholly inadequate to the work requir
ed.-Olympian.

Assistant Attorney General Opines.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 23.-Assistant Attor-
ney-General Thomas N Vance has
written to State Auditor Cheatham
advising him regarding certain pro-
visions of the law regarding the col
lection of personal taxes. The opin
ion was given in response to the au-
ditor's request. d. In part he says
~ am of the opinion that the words
unless secured bys4eal estate includ-
ed in the act. IF beans stI that where the
taxpayer possesses sufficient real es-
tate to serve as security for the per-
sonal as we'll assthe real estate taxes,
the treasurer = nay not distrain, but
his personal taxes should be charged
against said read property. 1 believe
further, that tie right to have the per-
sonal taxes charged agains, the real
property is one to be awaited of at the
option of the tax debtor, and that af-
ter notice of delinquency of personal
property taxes, if the tax debtor de-
sires to avoid distraint, he should no.
tlfy the treasurer that he possesses
certain real estate referring to the re-
cord against which he desires to have
the personal property taxes charged
rather than pay them imm ediately, or
have his personal property distrained
The presumption in the case of per-
sonal property tax, I believe, is against
the existence of real estate security,
and unless you are notified as above,
your distraint for taxes would follow,
as of course, and be good.
personal property taxes for 1897
become delinquent at the expiration
of thirty days notice. Interest at
taches to these personally taxes i'm
mediately upon the expiration of the
thirty days notice and while the law
is silent as to the interest rate, the de-
linquency rate prescribed by the gen.
eral terms of the revenue act is Is per
cent per annum. I am therefore of
the opinion that delinquent personal
ty taxes should bear the same rate as
delinquent prope rty taxes, and SO adj
