PROFITS IN BETS.
The Year 1899 Has Been a Great One
for Farmers as Well as Factory.

The year just about TO close has been
a very favorable one In Utah for the
sugar beet industry. Nine years ago
II was not known whether or not sugar
beets could be grown successfully In
this high altitude. Many predictions
were made both for ana against sue

THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY

only about one-half Of what they hoped
IL would have been. Oregon has had
nearly double the crop she had last
year. The Utah Sugar company's crop
averaged twelve tons OF beets per acre
on 400 acres. ogden has also had
fair run, but the Eastern States seem
to have suffered the most as there was
a lack Of moisture during the months
when II Is needed there. The sugar
crop In Europe Is very good one and
they are seeking for foreign markets
An opening has been made In Japan

strong and earnest appeals both to the
American people and to the government
so that the industry might be encour-
aged, and II has helped very material
ly In such efforts TO pave the way for
the further extension of the business
in the United States. but 1t is deemed
opporune In view OF the present condi-
tons to make a further organization
and embrace not only the beet sugar
Industry. but also those organized
whose welfare Is affected by the future
course that shall be adopted by our
great government In framing It's senti-
ment in regard 10 the annexation OF the
productive islands, particularly OF Por-
TO Rico and Cuba, the latter alone be-
ing capable OF supplying the United
States at least with all the sugar II
consumes. II Is true that through the
process OF the late war the Cuban plan
tationS have been almost ruined and II
Will take many years before an organi-
cation Of the material resources Of the
island can be perfected so that II can
regain its former prestige; nevertheless,
the fact remains that its climate and
resources are wonderful for the produc-
tion OF sugar, tobacco, etc. In view OF
this IL is necessary that the sugar in
terests Of the United States shall COM
bne and present the unyarnished facts
as they actually exist to the people OF
this country, so that they may under
stand thoroughly the dangers that be-
sci ug; II sugars and other products

THE SUGAR TRUST.
Perhaps one OF the most dangerous
enemies that the sugar interests will
have TO contend with In the near flu
ture Is the great Trust, which is sim
ply a refiner Of foreign sugars. With
Its enormous capital and surplus II Is
able 70 scour the whole world for cheap
sugars, the benefit to this country from
which only occurs In the refining proc
ess at the rate of perhaps 80 cents per
ton. whereas, the beet sugar Industry
gives employment TO thousands, not
only TO agriculturists. but creates a de-
mand for all kinds of machinery. tools,
horses, harness and everything that Is
used In the industry; and when we real
re that the United States is the great
est sugar consuming country Of the
world, we can see at glance what this
must mean. The consumption the pres
ent year will amount TO perhaps 2h
millions OF tons Of sugar, OF which Ha-
wall and Louisiana win not make more

all the sugar that lsed to be brought

year 3.s?6,477 shares were sold, bring

CHRISTIAN A. MADsEN.

From an article by Mr.. Luther Foster
OF the Agricultural Experiment Station
at Logan on Sugar Beets In sanpete
and Seyler Counties" we gain the in
formation that samples OF beets grown
In both counties have been submitted
to the institution for analysis In 1897,
1898 and 1889. The results are shown In
an extensive series Of tables compiled
by Mr.. Foster, from which we gather
the following;
The average for Sanpete county 1884,
purity S312 per cent; sugar in juice
l5.5S Average for Sewer county, 1891
purity, Sl.07; per cent sugar in juice,

J. As we now have proven 10 GER

amount Of best grade Of sugar beets:
2. That many hundreds Of rational
farmers In these valleys are ready, viii

sugar factory OF any reasonable ca
pacity with the necessary raw material.
g. That more than one hundred mil
lions Of dollars worth Of sugar Is year
~ imported to the United States, and
besides the consumption Is steadily in
creasing
T. That capital Is willing and ready
20 invest IN this remunerative and
promising industry and
g. That labor and capital agreeably
invite one another to so ahead with
this most sure and steady, for the COM
monwealth, financial Improvement. And
finally:
6. As our efforts are looked upon by
existing establishments Of the cane
sugar industry as intruding competl-
tors, we appeal TO the common interest
Of the people, TO sustain us for their
own sake.

ready for execution In the Sanpete and

sary. If when a man feels out of sorts and
nervous, and realizes that he is suffering
from biliousness or indigestion, he will
take the right remedy, he can always keep
himself in good health.
Many serious illnesses have their incep-
ton in indigestion or in an inactive liver.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a
sure, safe, speedy and permanent cure for
all disorders of the digestion. II also cures
all of the maladies that have their incep-
ton in these disorders. 1t is a prompt cure
for giddiness, sick headache, pain in the
stomach, fillness and swelling after meals,
dizziness and drowsiness, cold chills, flush
ings of heat less of appetite, shortness of
breath, blotches on the skin, disturbed
sleep, frightful dreams and nervous and
trembling sensations. 1t makes the appe-
tite keen and hearty, the digestion perfect,
the liver active and fills the blood with life
giving elements that build healthy tissue.
1t is cure for nervous exhaustion and
prostration and it cures % per cent. of all
cases of consumption, bronchial, throat and
kindred affections. An honest dealer will
not try to induce customers to take some
worthless substitute for the sake of a few
pennies added profit. +-

of the project are Mr.. John Dana, of
Belpre, the will known Gamer, and Mr..

The matter has progressed so far
that we are assured that if suitable
location can be had the factory will be
established. The farmers to whom the
matter has been mentioned are quite
enthusiastic and promise their assist
ance in supplying the material to be
canned.
1t is contemplated to begin with to-

We trust that by next week we may
be able to state that its location is as

The Garbage Question.

r. K. Gifin, OF Marietta, who is the
inventor of machine for taking gar
bage of all sorts and descriptions and
reducing it to powder, was in the
city today, consulting with Mayor
Thomas about giving his invention a
test acre.
He asks that he be given about eight
tons of garbage, which he will take to
Marietta where he has reducer and
consume it.
If the test is satisfactory he will
make a proposition to the city to take
the garbage of the city and put it into
such a shape that 1t will not be harm
full and at'the same time be disposed of
as fertilizer.
He has machines in successful oper-
alton in sevral cities.-Parkersburg

Sentenced to the Boyy Industrial
School,

Yesterday The Truant Officer of Lit
tie Hooking came up and brought
Clarence Chambers, youth who was
10 years of age last June, before Judge
Rood on a charge of incorrigibility
and habitual truancy. His father,
Reeves Chambers, is bridge carpen-
ter on the B. & o. S. w. and his moth
er is dead. The boy and two sisters
have been living with sister of of Mr..
Chambers, Mrs. Palmer, and the
father has been furnishing clothing for
the children and otherwise doing what
he could for their comfort, but the boy
Clarence does not seem to appreciate
the home he has had or the opportun-
ity to go to school, and very much pre-
fers % ride on trains and spend his
nights sleeping in box cars or barns.
1t developed in the examinationthat he
has in the past two months made two
trips to Chillicothe, one to Hamden,
one to Athens and innumerable ones to
Parkersburg. He has been absent
from school for week at time.
He was before the Judge about two
months ago, and after a severe lecture,
promised to stay at home and attend
school regularly, but has signally fail
ed 10 keep his promise. The Judge
decided, although much against his in
clination, that it was necessary to send
him to the Boys Industrial School at
Lancaster and he is now waiting under
the care of Sheriff McAllister until he
can be taken to that institution.

men and diplomats in his native tongue.
He found that as a rule the governing
classes in Europe could understand and
speak English. In the Russian royal
family especially English is the IA

daughters.
