The farmers In this vicinity the
past season raised 2,602, $40 pounds of
sugar beets,--about 1000 tons, from
1903 acres. The JOURNAL has but
few particulars concerning the ven
ture besides the above statement.
We understand Fred Younggren
planted the largest acreage Of any
one farmer-l5 acres-from which he
raised 40 tons and estimates his net
profit at $l3 an acre. The Hudson
Produce Co. planted five acres here
and shipped as the product OF this
ground u tons OF beets, lat tons to
the acre. 1t is understood that the
company that contracted for these
oeets pays $3.50 ton but deducts the
cost OF transportation TO st. Paul,
so cents ton, and allowance is made
for dirt. That is, the growers are
paid 81 90 ton, the beets weighed
after they are thoroughly washed at
the factory. 1t would be OF interest,
not only for those who have grown
beets this summer. but for all farm
ars, to know the result of this venture.
Many would wish to have all the facts
that comparisons might be made to
determine whether the industry is
likely to be remunerstive. The
JOURNAL would be pleased to publish
The facts for the benefit of its readers
lnd will endeavor to have the growers
rive the results OF their experience.

THE KINGS
The Date for it's observation as q
Holiday Not Yet Fixed
Upon.

London, May 1s.-The misconcep-
ton as to the observance of May "a
instead of November 9 as King Ed
wards birthday is thus officially eN-
planned:
cit has been customary to give the
employees in the government offices
a holiday May "a. The king, on being
asked if any holiday would be given
this year, decided on May "a as a suit
able day. This has nothing to do
with his own birthday.
1t has been decided also to present
colors that day to the Third battalion
of the Scots guards and to make the
function much like the trooping of
the c%olors, by which the anniversaries
of May % were observed. The ques-
ton of observing the kings birthday
is wholly unsettled, though corona
ton day, which will probably be in
summer, may be celebrated instead of
the chill November 9.

Many of Them Reported i'm In West
BOund Ocean Lanes. Menacing
Navigation.

New York, May 20.-Two of the
large ocean liners, L'Aquaitaine, from
Havre, and the Mesaha, from London,
which came into port yesterday, re-
ported that IN crossing the ocean
they passed dangerous derelicts,
which, if met with in the night time,
could not have been observed by the
lookouts, and would certainly have
resulted in disaster. These wrecks are
drifting with the wind and water in
the ocean lanes which are now being
daily traversed by the liners, many of
which are carrying on a voyage 1000
immigrants in their Storage.
Three other liners which arrived
here during the last few days hav,
reported passing dangerous water
logged w~reckage in the w~est-bound
ocean lanes.
As observations were taken at the
time of the sighting of the wrecks,
the government will be asked to send
out one of the small gunboats 70 hunt
for and destroy the derelicts before
tney cause disaster to vessels bound
for the United States.

A OF R GAGE.
The Wife OF the ecretary of the
Treasury Yields After Nine
Weeks, IIIness.

Washington, May 1s.-Mrs. Lyman
treasury, died at her residence, No.
IT'S Massachusetts, avenue, northwest,
at $50 o'clock last night, after an ILL
ness of nine weeks duration. With
band, her married daughter, Mrs. E.
F. Pierce, of Evanston, H.. and DR..
W. w. Johnston, the attending ply
stefan.
For a time before her death, Mrs.
Gage suffered considerable pain, but
she maintained her bright and cheer
full demanor and was conscious to the
last. Heart trouble. the result of grip
complications, was the Immediate
cause of death.
Mrs. Gage was exposed to the in
clement weather for about an hour
on Inauguration day, but at the time
her health did not seem to have been
affected. On the 18th of March she
left here for Evanston to visit her
daughter. While there she expert
enced a chill and took to her bed, but
soon recovered sufficiently to eturn
Co Washington, where she had been
confined to her ever since.
Mrs. Gage was a native of Albany,
N. Y, and SIS years of age. She was
Dlarried to Secretary Gage in Denver,
Col, in 1887. There were no children
from their union, Mrs. Pierce being 4
| child by a former husband.
The remains will be inferred IN
Rose Hill cemetery, near Chicago.
Further than this the funeral services
have not yet been arranged. 1t is
probable, however, that religious serv-
ices O. a simple character will be held
at her former residence in this city
on Sunday morning, in which event
the body will leave here by the morn
ing train for Chicago. Mrs. Gage was
an E~piscopaliar in her religious be-
lief, but during their residence here
she and the secretary have had a pew
in the Metropolitan NJ. E. church,
where the president attends. DIR.
Hills, of Plymouth church, Brooklyn,
is an intimate friend of the family,
and it is possible that he may be
asked to come to Washington to con-
duct the funeral services here. Dur
ing their residence in Washington,
Secretary and Mrs. Gage have taken
quite an active part in social life at
the capital. Mrs. Gage was a woman
of charming personality and with her
husband delighted in extending the
hospitality of their elegant home on
Massachusetts, avenue. Mrs. Gage was
probably closer to Mrs. Mckinley than
any other of the ladies of the cabinet,

THE CHINESE INDEMNITY.
Agreement Between the lower a.
to Manner of it's Payment q
Matter.

Berlin, May 1s.-An agreement be-
tween the powers regarding the
method of paying the Chinese indem-
nifty is considered in German official
circles to be a rather difficult task. In
any case, it is certain that several of
the powers will not agree to a joint
guarantee by the powers. Germanys
wish in the matter would be to take
over from China her own portion of
the indemnity upon the condition
that China pay a certain rate of in
terest on this amount as well as an
annual part payment thereof, Ger
many guaranteeing the whole.
