HUGGED BY 4 BEAR,
Prospector Would Have Been
Killed But for a Dog.

Archie Park, pioneer of
Valdes., Alaska, was carried off
by gigantic white bear on Sep
tember 9, and had it not been for
a small dog he would have lost
his life, says a Seattle, Wash,
telegram.
With two companions Park
was prospecting the headwaters
of the Shushetan river, and atthe
time of his exciting experience
was some distance ahead of them
on the trail Hearing a noise in
the bush, he investigated. To
his surprise he suddenly found
himself face to face with an inn
mense white glacier bear who
Immediately came to him with an
ominous growl. Park threw his
rifle to his shoulder and fired, but
probably did not hit, as the bear
rushed on and grabbed him. AS
Park felt the EN- brace of bruin he
thought it was all off with him,
but he had forgotten little cur
which he had previously been
tempted to kill as a nuisance.
With swapping and growing the
dog worried the bear into drop
ping Park.
Park had heard that if one
played dead a bear would leave
him alone, but the plan did not
work. Having driven the dog
back, the bear again grabbed
Park, and was making off with
him, when the dog attacked him
again and succeeded in making
bruin drop him a second time.
This time Park crawled off into
the bush, and in the meantime
his companion, having heard the
noise came up and opened fire on
the bear, which made a hasty re-
treat.

of way in the selection of candidates.
A-Aver Bow county, with it's big delega-
ton, generally exercises the most power.
but not infrequently the man named as a
cano44a-e and sent to Washington is
from some out Of the-way section of the
state in which political timber grows and
natures in surprising way.
During the long fight for the election
of the second senator at Helena last win
ter the fact that the election of H. L..
Frank of Butte would have given this
city two senatorships did much to cast
the weight of powerful influences against
him.
When the name of Paris Gibson of
Great Falls was mentioned he was hailed
as the logical candidate, man from a
section of the state that had no repre-
sentation in the congressional delegation
and was clearly entitled to it.
When senator Hoffman's boom was
trotted out it was punctured by the sharp
criticism to the effect that Congressman
Edwards and Mr.. Hoffman were both
residents of Gallatin county. "Give the
rest of the state show" said the politi-
clans. So the rest of the state got what
was coming to it.
How They Line Up.
Down at Washington the Montana men
have gone with the intentions to place
a considerable number of legislative irons
in the fire before the session is over.
There are many things which residents
of their own state will call upon them to
look after, and IL they comply with all
the requests that are made in perfect
good faith. none of them will have much
spare time on their hands between now
and the time of adjournment next spring.
Nearly everyone who by any stretch
of the facts of the case Is entitled to a
pension has an ambition to see the sena-
tors and congressman working In their
interests. The old Indian claims have
details that the officials are asked to at

HOW BETS ARE TURNED INTO SUGAR.

- REAT interest has been taken in
Montana for some time past in
the production of beet sugar, and
series of interesting experiments con-
Quoted in the Bitter Root valley have
shown that beets containing large
amount of saccharine substance can be
raised with great success in this state.
While many persons have heard much
about the manufacture of sugar from
beets there are few who have seen the
actual working of the machinery, for,
as a rule, the manufacturers carefully
guard their plants from curious eyes.
In this connection the following letter,
written by Gordon Stuart, formerly night
clerk at one Of the hotels of Hamilton.
but now student in the Michigan Agri-
cultural college, to a friend in Hamilton,
will prove interesting, inasmuch as he
describes the making of beet sugar in an
interesting manner. Mr.. Gordon says:
AS the whole Bitter Root valley is much
interested in sugar beet culture at pres
ent, perhaps you will be glad to have
brief description of a beet sugar fac
tory.
l got my permit to go through the
Lansing Sugar company's factory last
week, SO will write short sketch of the
SIolls 1hSAOoCO IA a iii OOA III OpCH
mail you will receive sample Of beet
sugar. I saw it run into the box so
hot as to be uncomfortable to the touch
On entering the large four-story build
ing one at once notices a very betty
smell and on walking on the floor in
places the syrup sticks to your shoes
and makes walking very jerky
Your attention is at once attracted by
tanks hOi1arc
placed here and there on the different
floors. There are many sets of these
through which the syrup must all pass
before it is turned into sugar.
You next look at the large spiral screw
which works in box and elevates the
beets from a conveyor outside. This
screw dumps the beets into a large
washer, which churns them around in
water for a while; then they work into
buckets fastened onto belt and are
carried up one story and dumped into
an automatic sugar beet scale.
From this they are dumped into a large
vat or hopper. In the bottom of this
hopper knives revOlve at a terrific rate
of speed and shave the beets Lr into long
strings smaller than lead pencil and
as long as the beet was originally.
A long endless belt carries the pulp to
any one of the IA diffusion batteries.
These large batteries are filled with pulp
and water at a certain temperature is
forced through the pulp by hydraulic
pressure. This is the method by which
the saccharine matter is extracted from
the beets.
This sweetened water is pumped into
tanks and boiled to syrup. Then it goes
to the "carbonator." Here gas
product of lime kiln, is pumped into
the bottom of the carbonators. This.
with lime Stacked and made about as
cream, which is also put into the syrup,
serves to purify the juice. 1t is taken
out of the syrup afterwards by a chem
ical process.
After going through many processes it

! finally comes to the crystallizers. Here
it remains about 60 hours, and "gets
the grain," they say. When the syrup
is crystalized it is about the consistency
of thick mOlasses.
1t is now run through the "centrif-
| ugals." These are large vessels which
! revolve at tremendous rate of speed
| the outside being filled with fine holei
| very close together.
| The rapid revolution of the centrifu-
| gals forces the water out through the
fine holes, leaving only the sugar stick
ing to the brass webbing.
This raw sugar is run through the boil
ers again and is then put through the
centrifugals a second time and is washed
by sprinkling water on it while it re-
wolves. The terrific speed soon dries
the sugar and chemicals are added to
bleach the mass while it is yet in the
centrifugals.
1t is now good granulated sugar; but
as it is slightly damp, it must be put
through a drier before it is packed. When
it leaves the drier it runs into two
hOppers.
From these it runs out into barrels
lined with pretty blue paper. It is so
hot when it is put into the barrels
tHdL tue mana cannot De neIu IN the steam
of sugar any length Of time.
AS it runs into the barrels it is shak-
en- down constantly by a sugar packer,
a mechanical device which oscillates at
the rate of 275 revolutions per minute.
This particular factory turns out near
ly 60 tons Of sugar every "a hours. It
is all packed in one shift of u hours.
The factory runs night and day-two.
shifts of IL hours each.
The floors of the building are concrete
and the stairs are of iron. The whole
factory is kept warm, warmer than one.
enjoys.
This factory was completed just this
fall and the farmers seem to have raised
enough beets to run it until next March.
The factory employs nearly 300 men,.
The sugar made here is of the first
quality, but last week, when 1t was put
on the market for the first time. it was
sold for four cents a pound. This did
not last long and was done only to cree
ate demand for their sugar. 1t now
sells for 2-5c per pound.
Going through this building is quite.
different from going through sawmill.
Instead Of seeing sawdust all over every.
thing, you see sugar aust, or fine sugar
molasses. Close to the granulatOr the air
is SO full of the fine particles of sugar
that one can taste the sweetness as il
floats around.
Beets. in the vicinity of the Lansing
factory, go nearly 20 tons to the acre
and test quite high for purity They
test above IL per cent saccharine matter.
The beets do not grow very large. al
though l have seen some that weighed
10 pounds. Freezing does not seem to
hurt them. They are plowed up by q
sub-soil pillow, topped and put in piles.
Then they are hauled In wagons to the
cars or factory.
BY the way they use from 500 TO-
$4,000 pounds of lime rock every day
to purify the sugar.

of his life before he became congress-
man have been told until there is no
telling what manner of man is answering
to his name in the lower house of con-
gress and attending to the interests of
the state.
MI. Edwards has a chance to make
fame for himself. The big hearted people
of his state are ready to give him ample
credit for all he does and they will yield
him shade the best of it in the matter
of praise If he does the right thing.
The bright pink postage stamp is the
good angel that establishes communica-
ton between the Montana man at Wash
ington and the man at home who voted
for him to do something in return.
Stacks of mail come to each of the
three representatives every day. To at
tend to this voluminous correspondence
it is necessary to have alert secretaries,
who will be prompt and efficient in an
swering all letters.
For Senator Clark an experienced
Washington newspaper man. George Gill
lland, is secretary. He made a trip
through the state of Montana shortly
after finding employment with Senator
Clark, and is posted on everything that
pertains to this state.
For Senator Gibson, Miles Taylor, who
used to be secretary to Hon. Lee Mantle,
is employed. He knows Montana like a
book, and from long experience knows
gust what to do and how to do it, taking
great deal Of the drudgery off the hands
OF his employer by his intimate knowl-
edge Of the affairs that crowd upon that
busy man.
1t is not known who will act as secre-
tary for Congressman Edwards. His re-
firing manner has not brought him prom
inently into the affairs of the capital,
and no mention has been mace OF the
preparations he has made for his work
of the session. Montana's senators will
do efficient work for the state while at
Washington.
OF this there is no doubt. They will
mot be partisans in the offensive sense of
the term, although both are democrats.
The congressman, although a populist,
will probably caucus with the same party
and vote with the rest.
The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-12-07

tend to also. Then the Indian agencies
want the biggest appropriations that can
be secured, the men who have homestead
contests or rows over the classification
OF government lands up before the In
terror departmental of these must be
given attention.
II voted for you"-that is the passport
by which the resident Of the state gets
into the good graces of the congressman
or the senator. With this flattering bit
of information sent in ahead he believes
he is entitled to ask for anything that IL
to be had, and he should be given it ont
of hand.
Generally Montana's representatives
are pretty good about attending to the
business of their constituents. They are
pretty good judges of human nature and
take real pleasure in doing whatever has
a tendency to make their political fences
stronger.
It is generally conceded that a congress-
man or senator who neglects to attend to
a request from the man who voted for
him is pretty small potatoes and will be
found out in time.
The halls where congress meets and
where the senate holds forth have both
been refurnished lately. They are now
as spick and span as they can be made.
and Montana's representatives in both
branches will have surroundings that are
far more cheerful than any Of their pre-
decessors have enjoyed. 20
The seats of the two senators from thie
state are side by side. AS one lookA
down from the gallery of the senate the
gray hair of Senator Gibson and the dark
locks Of his colleague make the pair look
like men in whose ages there is q consid.
cradle disparity.
This is an error, however, and one that
is now provoking much comment in
Washington. Among the senators Mr.
Clark Of Montana is considered the best
preserved man for his years. and the con-
trast between the junior and senior SEN
ator from this state is often remarked. 5
Just what Mr.. Edwards will do in the
lower house is not clear. The residents
of the state hope he will make a good
congressman. His election has been
looked at in the light Of joke. Stories

Caldwell Edwards, congressman of
Montana, halls from Belgrade, Gallatin
county. He is little known except in the
sections of the state in which his quiet
life previous to his election was spent.
Locally, Edwards has been known for
years as a man who would sooner talk
politics than do anything else. He runs
to populism, and is fairy well Informed
upon the peculiar doctrines of his party.
The section of the state from which he
comes is measurably satisfied that it has
been given recognition In the distribu-
ton of political offices.
There Is a System.
In Montana politics there is an unwrit-
ten law which says that all sections of
the state must be represented in the con-
gressional delegation. All three men in
Washington must never come from the
same section Of the state.
