Within twenty years or less, our Paci-
fic states will be shipping to the east
enormous quantities of sugar, besides
supplying all our own wants. Produc-
ton of beet sugar is an ideal develop
ment, in combination Of the agricultur-
al and manufacturing interests. We
believe it is destined to become the
greatest single industry of our Pacific
states.
The consumption of sugar is a
permanent and ever increasing
one. Sugar is a staple, and is
always a marketable commodity.
Our citizens have an opportunity
of expressing their appreciation OF
the sugar industry, and their in
terest in its development in our
state. Will they vote to strength
en- the party which stands pledg-
ed to foster and develop an in
dustry which will bring perma-
nent prosperity to our peop.e!
The question is worthy of serious
consideration and investigation.

'ne sugar imported into this eoup.
uy amounted TO over seventv-five
million dollars in value. Annually
mat amount of money can be kent
at home, and, better still, a large
percentage of itcan be turned into
the avenues of trade in Idaho and
made to cultivate and beauty our
ard plains. With sugar manu-
lacturleS in our valleys, canneries
WIN De established in which the
nome grown fruits will be pre-
served and put up in marketable
form, and glass plants for the
making Of glass jars will be built
and operated. This is not a dream
nor vision. Already we have
me evidence of this progress.
Within the year two sugar plants
have been put in operation in this
lnter-mountain country; one at
La Grande, Oregon, and a second
one in Utah. The history Of the
beet sugar industry in other coun-
tries supports our statements as to
the possibility of the industry.
When Napoleon found his sugar
supply cut off by the enemy and
France without sugar, he called
his savants and scientists into
council and asked that they in
Vestigate the feasibility of estab-
fishing the industry in France. It
was established. From a country
which imported all her sugar,
France has, through the develop
ment OF the beet sugar industry,
become an exporter of sugar. The
same is true of Germany. The
following from the Oreg0nian of
April the Ist shows what the in
dustry means i'll Germany, and
indicates the possibility in our
own country:
1t may be confndentily predicted
that the beet sugar industry is one of
the great coming industries of the Uni,
ted States, and that it will have its
chief seat west of the Rocky Mountains
where the conditions of soil and climate
are more favorable than elsewhere in
our country, or perhaps in the world.
The United States consul general at
Berlin makes report on the state and
extent of this industry in Europe, which
contains matter of interest to our peo-
pie at the present time. Though France
was first in developing the possibilities
of this great industry, Germany is far
In the lead. From being country us.
ing imported sugar at the wholesale
price of about $3.50 per 100 pounds, in
less than twenty-five years Germany
has become by far the largest sugar
producing and exporting European
country, selling at a wholesale price of
less than $3.50 per 100 pounds, as is
shown by the following table of beet
sugar production in Europe in lS96.97:

The citizens of Idaho are con-
fronted with a serious and import
ant duty. The election to be
held on November 8 will decide
whether or not Idaho is to enter
upon an era Of progress and pros
perity or to sink deeper into the
mire of political incompetency and
civic disrepute. Either the Re-
publican national administration
with its glorious achievements, its
benefit to the people and its record
of promises fulfilled, is to be re-
pudiated and opposed, or to be
endorsed and upheld. Is Idaho
interested in this issue? We think
so and beg our citizens to con-
slider the Importance of endorsing
the Republican policies.

a wise and economical ruler. .
Suppose we glance now at just
o"s of his wise and economical
acts, that relating to the White
Pine land, and the contest cases
growing out of the states negli-
gent and illegalentry. In 18o4-s
some thirty settlers went into the
White Pine region and settled
upon the then unsurveyed lands.
The laws of congress and the
rules and regulations of the gen
eral land Office require that when
a township has been surveyed by
the government plat thereof
shall be sent to the local land
Office and there remain for thirty
days, at the expiration Of which
time it is required to be filed by
the register and receiver. During
the thirty days, notice to the pub
lie is required to be given in some
newspaper specifying the date
when the plat will be filed. Where
a state has applied for a survey of
township or townships, the lands
embraced in such township or
townships are withdrawn from
public entry for sixty days after
the filing of the plat, during which
time the state, and the state alone,
may make its selections. A sur
vey of the townships embracing
the land occupied by the settlers
was made in 1896, but the official
plats did not reach the land office
at Lewiston until December "a,
1897, where they were filed on
January 18th, 1898. Prior to the
filing the governor and Mr.. S. F.
Taylor, one of the land selectors,
while at Lewiston in January,
1893, selected some eighteen
thousand acres of timber land,
embracing the land of each and
every settler. They filed the
selections in the Lewiston land
Office on the r4th day of January,
1898, II days before the plats
were on file in that Office, and be-
fore the sixty days withdrawal
attached. Those of the settlers
who were financially able to file
and conduct contest cases against
the state, when they discovered
the fraud in the state filings, in
stituted contests and won a de-
cision against the state in every
case. To overcome the effects
of the discovered fraud in the
first filings, the state on August
II, offered new filings on all lands
formerly attempted to be filed
upon, thereby again disregarding
the rights of some twenty-five
settlers who had already proven
their prior rights to these lands.
The states second filings were
rejected by the land Office for the
reason that they conflicted with
the rights of prior settlers. Had
the officers offered these new fill
ings upon the lands that were at
that time vacant they would have
saved to the state some fourteen
thousand acres. Before other
filings can be made all of the va
cant land will be taken. This is
an example of the ECONOMY Incl
dent to good business judgment"

Excellency, Governor Steunen-

A Measure of Economy,

The object of the secretary Of war In
ordering that the recruits under the sec
ond call for troops shall be used in
strengthening the regiments mustered in
under the first call, so that each company
shall have 100 and each regiment 1.200
men, Is not only to promote the efficiency
of the army. but as a measure of econ
omy worth several millions Of dollars to
the government. 1t cuts down the num-
Der of regiments and the number of COM
panies, and consequently the number of
officers, one-third, and as the pay of the
officers of a regiment under the old plan
aggregates almost much as the pay of
the men, the expense will be reduced one

The fighting began at just about 2

Owing to the height Of the hill on
which Moro castle is situated at the
entrance to the harbor, 1t was impossi-

voted themselves to attacking the sand

By standing off shore the big ships
had plenty of water to maneuver in.

TO the northward of 1t.
Thousands of persons, when they
found the shells of the enemy did not
reach the city, went to points of want
age. where they could witness a part Of
the bombardment.
The firing was apparently directed
principally against Moro, the fort of
La SOcapa on the opposite side of the
entrance, and Punta Gorda, some dis
lance from the entrance, but which
could be reached by an almost straight
fire from the sea. The forts replied
bravely to the fire of the enemy, but as
far as can be learned, did not appear
to do any great damage.
The sound of cannOnading was deaf

rounded by mountains and the reports
of the guns were echoed and re-echoed
for minutes after the discharge, max
ing q most terrific din.
The dispatch intimates that some of
the Spanish warships took part in the
engagement, but this cannot be veri-
fed. 1t was made known some days
ago that two or three Of Admiral Ger
vera's squadron were lying some dis
tance below the city, but 1t Is possible
