Mexico is producing at the present
from seventy to ninety thousand tons
| of sugar, which is entirely consumed
by her 100000 inhabitants. Sugar
| cane is being cultivated in about $500
haciendas and ranches, which produce
sugar, ''panochs," and aRusrdiente; in
Cuba, on the other hand 500 plan tations
are producing, 100000 tons of sugar,
in other words, in Cuba four and half
times less of places of production, pro-
duce more than twelve times the guam
tity produced in Mexico. Sugar plant
ing is carried on in Mexico today for
the greatest part Is it has been for
centuries, according to the most anti
quated and traditional systems. In
few plantations of greater Importance
a combination of old and modern meth
DDS is employ we'd, but all these plants
are situated in regions that have an al
titude of from 100 to 800 meters over
the sea level. The conditions existing
in such attitudes are abnormal ones for
the raising of the sugar cane and are
making it's propagation difficult.-Two

A Domestic Picture.

In miserable shack on the railroad
grounds in this city may be seen a re
voting living picture. Two morphine
hends, man who was once a physical
giant and mental prodigy and woman
who was once strong, fair and III.
tellectual, are reduced to the state OF
degradation and ghastly adherence that
is possible only tc the fend.
In this miserable hovel is the mother
of one of the fiends who possesses refine
ment that clings to her as vestinent
from life of high social standing, a
jewel unbecoming in its setting. This
mother is feeble and dependent on this
degraded child of her heart, but she
realizes the disgrace of her surroundings.
She sheds pathetic mothers tears when
ever she realizes that the secret of her
sorrow is known to others. Even amid
her squalid surroundings and when she is
actually suffering from cold and hunger
the mothers greatest pain is a heart
ache.
Can the Good Samaritans soften this
mothers loto Nor should the Good
Samaritans pass by the two fends in
their irresponsible life of crime. Rescue
the good old mother You can give her
warm clothing, soft bed and nourishing
food but you cannot stay the mothers S

The Burlington Coming.

1t is reported from Montana that the
Burlington route has recently unloaded
a large amount Of steel rails and graders
scrapers at Huntly, Mont, a small sta
ton near Billings and the practical termi-
nus Of the Burlington route.
If such is the case the spring time will
see new figure in the Clearwater basin
fight and that figure the Burlington.
This is not unexpected, because it has
long been a matter of rumor that the O.
K. & Ms intention to build over the I.o
Lo pass to connection with the Burlinp-
ton. The fact that 0. X. & \. surveyors
are daring ice blockades and deep snow
in the mountains to get an early location
through the pass lends color to this be
lief 1t is known, however, that there is
opposition among the o. r. & n. stock
holders to these extensive building
operations, but President Mohler has so
far carried the day against this opposition
1t is possible, however, the Burlington
is going to do considerable of the build
ing itself
In Montana runiors of the designs of
the Burlington are many. Every town
on every possible route of the Burlington
and some routes that are impossible,
thinks it is to be an important point on
the line.

Work of the Legislature Yesterday

Senate bill prohibiting Indians from
carrying arms during the close season
was passed.
The house district irrigation bill was
passed, also Johnesse's bill providing
that agreements between prospectors and
grubstakers shall be in writing.
The boiler inspector bill was partially
considered, the salary being reduced to
$50 per month.
bill was introduced by Hyde provid-
ing for the publication of all legal notices
at the rate of 81 for each 10 lines of non
pareil for the first insertion and so cents
for each subsequent insertion.
A senate bill was passed by the house
today which provides for bringing Grim
inals convicted of capital ofenses to the
penitentiary, where they shall be ex-
ecuted. 1t carries the emergency clause
and therefore will apply to the case of
"Diamond-feld" Jack Davis, the Cassia
county murderer.
An investigation has developed the in
teresting fact that four of the county
clerks of the state have not reported the
collection of any docket fees for the past
two years, and perhaps longer. There is
docket fee of s. paid with the filing of
every civil suit, which goes to the state
toward the payment of stenographers'
salaries in the district court. The coun-
ties that have not reported are Fremont,
Cassia, Nez Perce, Blaine and Elmore.

Wild Davie is perhaps the last of the
very picturesque of the old characters oi

on meat, even the flesh of wildcats and
cougars, and he seldom takes the trouble
to cook his meals of wild meat. He
spends most OF his life hunting beasts o.

these wild beasts. He dresses in the or

That Seven Devils Road.

There is a company under the name of
the Northwest Railway company at work
on the enterprise of building railroad
down the Snake river, says the Salt Lake
Tribune, and which is said to be backed
by New York syndicate which owns
much of the mining property in the Sew
ell Devils. With copper reaching in val
ne up to II or Is cents, there are great
inducements for the speedy construction
of railroad to reach the vast deposits of
copper ore i'll that district. While the
personnel of this New York syndicate is
not fully known, it includes Charles N.
Haight of New York, who is treasurer,
along with other we'll known capitalists
of that city. Issac f. Blake, the presi-
dent of the company, is in New York
promoting the enterprise, and the writer
has been assured that the bonds of the
road have been placed in New York, to
be taken up as fast as construction adj
vances.
After reaching Cuprum the road will
be pretty sure to go on down the river to
Lewiston. 1t will develop traffic all along
the river, as it will run through fine
farming and fruit lands, while il will tap
timber lands and bring the mining camps
of Warren, Florence and Buffalo Hump
SO much nearer transportation as to draw
business from all these camps.
The steamboat is already loaded with
ton of the proposed road where grading
| is soon to commence, but the river is so
full of ice that the trip down just now
would be perilous

SmngClcd Diamonds SEIZED.

New York, Oct. 2T.-Collector Bid
well and Deputy Collector Phelps of
the customs service, were much
chagrlned today over the publication
of story dealing with the alleged
smuggling operations of Adolph Pea
body, formerly Il diamond dealer of
this city.
Peabody was before Collector Bid
well yesterday on charges that he had
smuggled n quantity of diamonds val
ued at from $4,000 TO $4,000 into this
city by way of Canada.
y. Peabody. according TO the story in
customs circles, failed in business here
about year ago and tried to make n
satisfactory settlement with his cred
itors. among them two large diamond
Importing firms in the Maiden Lane
district. 1t is supposed that the news
of Peabody's diamonds being detained
came from one of these sources and
that the motive was revenge.
The diamonds are now in the hands
or the collector and VIII be appraised
IN n day or two. Peabody voluntarily
surrendered the greater part of them
yesterday. taking them from safe de.
post box in vault of the National
Park bank.

rh- New Bee, Factory.

A dispatch from La Junta. says.
There was. n big meeting of farmers
nt the opera house here Saturday af-
ternoon to discuss the question Of rails
ing sugar beets. ii. 4. Oxnard. presl-
dent of tho American Beet Sugar Com
pany. with Vice President Hamilton
and Industrial Agent Davis of the San
tn Fc road were. present The plan Is
to interest the whole Arkansas valley
in the new enterprise. su
From analyses made OF sugar beets
raised to test the soil of the Arkansas
valley, it is shown that the land will
produce n better quality of beets than
many other sections where they are
now being grown. The plan of the
sugar company Is to make five-yenr
contracts with farmers to furnish the
product. The fnctory will be built at
some convenient point. probably near
La Jnntn. This Is u good location,
there being close by an unlimited
amount Of limestone, which Is used In
the manufacture Of sugar. The fac
tory will have n capacity of 125,OOO
tons Of beets each season and will give
employment to some 400 men. The rep.
resentatives of the sugar company will
60 all through the valley and explain
the proposition to farmers. So far
they have met with gratifying success.
