4 sugar Factory.

jamestown business men have under
consideration a proposition made by
Messrs. Spencer and Crowell, repre-
sentlng an eastern syndicate, regard
ing the establishment of a sugar beet
factory. The state agricultural col
lege, said Mr.. Crowell, has been cX-
perimenting with the growing of
heets and has found that the beets
grown contain about II per cent of
sugar and are from So TO 80 per cent
pure. In Mr.. Crowell's opinion, the
raising of beets is more protitab BILE than
wheat. flax or any other grain. The
amount of beets produced per acre
will average about l6 tons at Il cost of
from SCI to S25. Sixteen tons at 81
per ton would be SG4. which would
net the farmer quite profit.

all grades. The several mills in course
of construction by the National Flax
Fiber company in the state will be in

The fiber made by the latter company
will be shipped to Boston for manu-

The Railroads Object.

An unusual assessment was made by
several of the assessors of Cass county
this year. They were directed to as.
sess the furniture and fixtures in the
depots in the county. A dozen or
more assessors followed these instruc-
tions and the depot fixtures in that
number of townships was assessed.
Tax Attorney Fernald, of the North
ern Pacific, appeared before the coun-
ty equalization board and protested
against such assessments, claiming
that taxes were paid on the depots
when certain sum was paid for each
mile of track in the state. Fernald
holds that a desk. ticket case and
chairs are just as necdful in the oper-
alton of a railroad as the rolling stock
and tracks.

COST OF MILITARISM.
Two Hundred Millions for the Army;
Seventy-Five Millions for the
Navy Is What McKin-
ley Wants.
DEMANDS ARMY OF 100000 MEN.

We are at last to know what we are
to pay for our experiment in imperial
ism.
The Washington government has
made its demand. 1t demands an army
of 100000 men and it wants 5000 ,O0O,-
600 for the next year to support its
pretensions.
The navy department wants s75, 000,-
600. The end is far away. This is
only the beginning of what American
taxpayers may expect.
To support the army and navy until
the end of the fiscal year, June 80,
1902. congress will be asked to appro-
pirate more than 5000, 100000. The
war department is estimating on the
basis of 100000 men.
Under the present law all volun-
teers and regulars in excess of about
10000 men must be discharged before
July 1. 1901, and Quartermaster-Gen-
eral Ludington is making arrange
ments for the transportation home of
the volunteers. beginning next month.
1t will be necessary to recruit regi-
ments to take the place of the volun-
teers in case more troops are author
lied, and when they are ready for ac-
tive service they must be transported
to Manila.
The pay of the army will be what
was estimated for the current year
SAT 100000. There will be a heavy bill
for clothing, medical and hospital
stores, ordnance. ordnance stores and
supplies and regular supplies for the
quartermaster's department. The es-
innate made by Commissary- General
Weston for subsistence stores for the
current fiscal year was 81, 112,242, and
this will be exceeded.
Secretary Roots estimate for the
military establishment for the current
year aggregated $12S,170.5S9, and it
will undoubtedly be larger for the next
fiscal year.

EnunI TO the EmerEency.

THAT man who advertised for red
headed office boy the other day reminds
me of a curious experience" said an old
reporter, according to the New Orleans
Times Democrat. Years ago, when l was
a cub, doing my first assignments on an
afternoon daily in a big Western city, we
had a thin, freckle- nosed office boy with
a head like full-blown poppy. He was
a silent sort of little chap. but anybody
could see with half an eye that he was
sharp as a needle, and he was a favorite
with the whole staff, from the chief down.
One day the city editor sent the star re-
porter out to a country justice court,
nearly ten miles from town, to write up
the case OF a school commissioner who
mad been arrested for misa preparation of
funds, and, as an afterthought, he told
'Reddy, the office boy, to meet him there
so, if necessary, he could carry in early
copy. The star reporter was a great ar
tist. but also a periodical drunkard, and
at about 1880 that afternoon the city re-
ceiVed the cheering news that he was then
asleep in a neighboring bar. AT the same
time a rumor reached town that the school
commissioners trial had developed a ire
mendous sensation and that the prisoner
had made his escape at the point of pis
toll We went to press at 2:20 sharp and
for the next fifteen minutes we had the
widest city editor in seventeen states.
He had already rushed two men off on
horseback and was dispatching a third,
when in walked 'Reddy who had been
entirely forgotten in the general excite
ment. That was a good story out at
the rube court, he said, and seeing as Mr..
- didn't come, 1 wrote it up myself.
Where is the copy?' yelled the city ed
itor. Here said Reddy,' and handed over
a roll of manuscript. L helped edit it, or
rather I helped read it, for it didn't re-
quire any editing. 1t was a beautiful
story, clearly and graphically told, with
subheads inserted and everything ready
for the printer. The city editor was de-
lirious with joy and next day the kid got
a regular job on the staff" And l sup
pose now he's the managing editor" said
one of the listeners. with slight sheer
No, he isn't" replied the old reporter.

rup LANp GRABBERs TO BLAME.

Mr. John Barrett. ex-minister TO Siam,
in an article in the New York Journal,
says that the land-grabbing tendency dis
played by some OF the Powers of Europe
is chiefly responsible for the present
trouble in China. He admits that there
are among the missionaries some men and
women who should never have left their
native land They are unfit for the work
they have undertaken, but the percentage
of these unfit and trouble-making mission
aries is not greater than that of peace
disturbing agents of business firms of this
and other Christian countries to be found
in China and other parts of the Far East.
These agents make trouble by their efforts
to get the better of the Asiatics. They
think they are very much smarter than
the Asiatics. and therefore endeavor to
deceive them. Thus bad feeling is
aroused.
Mr.. Barrett takes the position that If the
missionaries of the Christian countries are
withdrawn the merchants of those coun-
tries will also have to be withdrawn. The
one is just as much in need of protection
as the other. In the event of the with
drawal of the merchants commerce will
receive a setback from which it will not
recover in years.
In Mr.. Barretts opinion there would
have been no serious trouble on account
of the missionaries, Notwithstanding the
fact that so many of them have not the
qualifications necessary for getting along
in such country as China is, if some of
the Powers had not alarmed the Chinese
by forcibly taking possession of ports and
large tracts of territory of China. The
talk of dismembering the empire and d-
viding it among European nations had
a most dsquieting effect. The Chinese
became alarmed for their national life,
and they had reason to be- Under the
circumstances it is not to be wondered a
that the anti-foreign movement gained
such strength that ii showed itself in acts
of violence directed against foreigners.
1t is evident that whatever settlement
is made of the present difficulty guarantees
will have to be given that the integrity
of the Chinese empire shall be preserved,
and that only such missionaries shall be
sent TO the country as shall possess quail
ifications that will enable them to get
along with the natives. 1t is a mistake
TO send to China as missionaries persons
who are lacking it fitness for missionary
duties. 1t is doubtful if there is the care
there should be in choosing persons for
the Chinese mission field. In fact it is
questionable whether those who select the
missionaries ever take into account the
fact that a missionary in order to be sue
cessful needs other qualifications than
those that would fit him for a religious
teacher at home.
Missionary work in China will not be
abandoned, of course, but in order to Sc
cure the largest amount of success il
should be carried on in future in a way
that would produce the least possible
amount of irritation on the part of the
Chinese people.

why franklin Did Not Write II.

at has always been a curious puzzle
why Franklin, the man of ripe age. of
commanding distinction and of approved
literary skill was not selected to write
this declaration instead of Thomas JEFF
ferson, then only thirty-three years Old
and comparatively unknown" says John
Gilmer Speed, in the Saturday Evening
Post. ut could not be that FRANKLIN was
passed by because he had done every
thing within his power to avert the war
and reconcile the differences between the
colonies and the Mother Country. for all
wise men in the colonies did all that
honor permitted in that direction until
the die was cast. No. IL was not a fear
of Franklin's earnestness in the cause
of the coones-it was probably the fear
of Franklin's humor.
He was not only the greatest man of
his time, but he was one of the greatest
humorists of any time. And so his asso-
ciates were possibly afraid that he would
put a joke In the Declaration, and pass
ed him by and selected the lank young
Virginian with the freckled face.
LAS II was. Franklin did have his Joke,
for when the members of Congress were
a bout to sign the Declaration, Hancock,
whose earnestness is expressed In the
bold signature which comes first said In
his own earnest way: we must be
unanimous there NUT be no pulling diff
ferent ways; we must ali hang together
" Yes replied Franklin. we must hang
together or we shall be pretty sure 70
hang separately"

The Untold story.

Curtis May in the Youths Companion.
Into the Great White Gate of the North
The stately ships go sailing,
Where the waving flags of the cold stream
forth
And the bitter winds are waiing.
The sentinel iceberg mods and dips,
The sun comes up from his long eclipse,
And the shining stars are paling.
The Ice King shouts, You have marked
the earth
But here alone from primeval birth
Have l watched the swift years flying.
Secure i'm the Businesses of the cold,
The centuries watched as l built my hold
With their eyes turned North in dying.
And will you pass through the Great
White Gate
That guards the realm of my dwelling?
Shall | before you a vassal wait
And bend to your proud compelling?
Away! So long as the wind shall blow.
The wonderful secret l only know
Shall never be yours for telling.
But human courage and human will
Shrink not from the undertaking,
And hopes high flood when the pulses
Ebbs not though the strength be break
ing.
The ships still strain toward the distant
North,
And life and valor and love go forth
To the sleep that knows no waking.
Yea. born with purpose that knows no fear
And daring that asks no glory,
Men leave behird what is known and dear
Aud seek for the Ice King hoary
Wrecks strew the way of the Great White
Gate!
Cnheard the tales of the grim North wait!
Oh, who shall bring us the story!
