BEET SUGAR REFUSE is vALUA BEE
Will Be Utilized by q German Syndicate
for Cattle Feed.

Saginaw, Mich, April 25.-According
to experiments made by several
wealthy residents Of Germany a novel
industry is to be introduced in connec-
ton with the several beet sugar manu-
factories now in operation in Michigan.
A syndicate Of German capitalists is
negotiating for the purchase of all the
refuse pulp from the beet sugar facto-
ries. Huge evaporators will be built
and the pulp will be dried and ground
up and shipped to Germany, where 1t
will be utilized for cattle feed.
Sugar beet pulp thus prepared is said
to make a highly nutritious food for
stock, especially new mich cows and
young hogs. 1t is said to possess one
half more nutriment than wheat bran,
which sells in the local market at $14
ton. This sugar beet pulp can be pre-
pared and shipped to Germany and sold
at the rate of $40, at which price a
splendid profit is realized.

REFORM EAST AND WEST.

The Chinese reformers in this COM
munity have shown a commendable
foresight in stating at once that against
the Vaccinations of the Chinese gov
eminent, so-called, they will only use
the legal methods of the country they
are in. They thus throw themselves
upon the vigilance of the officers of the
territory, and if that remains the same
as it has done under the little Republic
1t will be adequate to meet the situa-
ton.
At this juncture it is we'll to remem-
Der the inuendos of the Imperial Con-
sui. He foreshadowed that an organiz-
alton Of reforming Chinese would cause
bloodshed. Naturally a number of peo-
pie, in fact the majority of people. de-
cided that the bloodshed would lie
caused by "emeutes" of these terrible
reforming Chinese brought up at Har-
ford, Yale, Stanford, Berkeley, OXFORD,
Cambridge, Paris, Heidelberg and Ber-
lin. They never pause to think that a
revolutionary or a reformer may he in
advance of the mass he is working for,
anu must VI necessity De naIeIul 10
those who are clinging to power.
The bloodshed outside of China, if
there is any, will not be committed by
those who wish to regenerate their
country, feeble though they may be,
but will be committed by the emissa-
ries of despotism which is determined
to sweep from it's path the slightest
challenging entity All must bow, or all
must break is the motto.
But those who have mixed with and
understand the intelligent western edu-
Gated Chinese know that they cannot
accept any such doctrine. They have
imbibed the ideas of liberty in the Unit
ed States, and they believe in it. Is
it any wonder that so hardy a plant
should have taken root in the East as
in the West?
1t will be incumbent upon the author
tiles of this territory to see that no
hired assassin shall be allowed a chance
of carrying out his villany here. This

is no soil upon which the behests OF a
bloody minded tyrant can be carried
out unpublished. But when forewarned
there should be no necessity for after
punishment, the crime should be pre-
vented.
The Star is stating no suggestions
case. The facts are in the hands Of re-
sponsible parties. Because they are Chi
nese, there is no reason why murder
can be done. The warning has been
given, it remains to take the precaution.

NEGLECTED LAND.

Attention should be paid to a subject
of vital interest to the country at large.
Quite a number of leases of public
lands, which have been used for past
urage, are on the point of falling In,
and the tenants are in doubt as to
whether the leases will be renewed. The
result is that the land is utterly neg
lected and no effort made to keep IL
clean. And there is no means at hand
lands in proper order.
Land unless it is properly cared for
soon chokes up with lantana. Lantana
can be fought on a ranch, if it is taken
in time, but it requires constant vigil
lance and attention. Any one who has
been through the Konas, knows how the
lantana has ruined certain portions of
those districts for the purposes of cattle
rearing, and what large sums of money
have been expended to clear the land.
The same is true of some portions OF
Maui.
Lands which have been kept clear,
where the lessee has kept constantly at
heart into which seven devils entered,
worse than the first, because they found
it swept and garnished. 1t may be said
that $500 spent this year in clearing
lantana from a comparatively clean
ranch, will save five or six times the
amount the next year If it is allowed to
go uncared for and unchecked.
Thus lessees whose term of lease is
running out and who are neglecting
their runs are doing a distinct public
injury, for the new lessee will claim
that the land has been injured and it's
value impaired, so that he will demand
rebate of rent until he can put it in
order, which of course will be an injury
to the public revenue.
Now the question is how can this
state of things be remedied. What pub
lie official has the authority to super
wise these leased lands, and what auth
GRITTY under the leases has he to make
the lessee keep his land up to the mark.
AS far as information is obtainable,
there is no one whose authority can be
invoked. 1t may therefore be a wise
! thing to take note for the future and to
so arrange that the condition of things
alluded to here shall not occur again.
