Last spring the American Beet
Sugar company aud number of
growers tried experiments in unus-
ually early planting of sugar beets.
The results have been such as to
make certain the fact that early
planting is desirable in the Arkan-
sas valley. Next season many
beets will be planted at dates here
tofore thought to be unseasonably
early. One great advantage of
early planting is early ripening
and consequently a smaller proper
tion of the crop will have to be ST.
loed. This will not only save the
growers much labor but the work
of delivering the beets will be done
in pleasanter weather The com.
pany will be pleased with early
maturity of the crop as it will
thereby be enabled to conduct
larger proportion of the campaign
before cold weather begins. Rocky

SAFE IN PRISON
John Moran Is Sent to
the New York Peni-
tentiary.
A Notorious Criminal Well

Officers.
epee,al pispateh to Fac can.

LOCKPORT, N. Y, Dec. A.-John Mo-
ran, known to the Federal authorities as
a man of many aliases, who has just
been sent to the State Prison at Auburn,
has record for crimes committed in
Colorado and Southern California. For
several months his headquarters had
been in Los Angeles, and later in San
Francisco. He has given the Pension De-
partment a good deal of trouble all along
the Pacific Coast. He appears to have
made the mistake Of his life by coming
back to the East to carry on his swim
ding operations
BY representing himself to be pension
officer Moran obtained many thousands
Of dollars from veterans. He would tell
them that he had found that there was a
doubt as to the value of their claims He
sold his alleged evidence for large sums
in many instances.
Moran was caught at South Bend, Ind.
in 1898, and taken before the United
States Court at Grand Rapids, Mich. Fed
eral Judge H. T. Stevens at that time
sent him to-the Detroit House of Cor
rectOn for snort term. Wnen ne was
released he went to California, but came
back few months ago. He is middle
aged man and has served terms in al
most every part OF the country E Ills HIS cap cap
TO Detroit was accomplished by sending
him letter which he called to claim.
He was then caught by the officers and
identified by a score of veterans whom
he had SWindled.
Once while in prison Moran performed
the heroic feat of pulling all his teeth
with his own hands in order to change
the appearance of his face. His most
noteworthy feat was the sending of an
innocent man to prison for a term OF
eighteen years. In 1895 the Round Oak
Stove Company at Dowaic had trouble
with its men and a warehouse was
burned. Moran was then serving time
in the New York State Prison. He wrote
to the police at Dowaic and said that the
crime had been committed by one Simeon
Tice lice was arrested and convicted
by means of the letter and a chain of cir
cumstantial evidence. Moran's object
was to be taken to Michigan as a wit
ress, in the belief that once out Of New
York State he could not be held for the
serious offense he had committed and
for which he was serving time. He failed
in this. but Tice went to the peniten-

Union Pacific Company
Makes Complaint

OMAHA, Dec. 1.-THE Union Pacific
Railroad is complaining to the courts that
it is obliged to educate the larger portion
of the children of Western Nebraska and
Eastern Wyoming out of it's own pocket.
The citizens are taking such advantage
of the law in the sparsely settled districts
that the railroad is obliged to shoulder
schools.
The railroad cites the case of one school
district in Cheyenne County where there
are only six children of school age living
in the district. They are all members of

falls upon the company's right of way.
The company would not object so much
to the salary if it were not for the coal
bills. Last winter in six months term
the district school consumed twenty tons
of coal. The school was only supposed to
be in session, the complainant points out,
for five days in the week and for five
hours each day.
In seeking relief from the alleged
hardship the company's first step was to
place an old caboose off its wheels along
In this shelter one of the employees estab-
lished residence as q voter. A section
Of the company's land was decided to him
and he has brought suit as a resident and

management of the school district. 1t will
be necessary to bring similar action in
other communities.

BUILDER OF STREETS.
City Street Improvement Company
Leads All Competitors.

The leading corporation of the Pacific
Coast which is engaged almost exclusive
ly in the construction of streets of every
character, wharves, bridges, reservoirs,
jetties and seawalls, is the City Street I'm
provement Company, the offices of which
are located in the Mills building. The pres
ident of the company is J. w. Mcdonald,
a gentleman Of wide experience in his
business, and to whose skill and acumen
the success of the corporation in the past
few years is principally due.
The operations OF the company are by
no means confined to San Francisco.
While the principal streets Of this city
have been paved by the company and
while many of the best wharves along the
front have been constructed by the con-
in which its handiwork is conspicuously
displayed. The company is the leader in
the work of laying bItuminous rock pave
ment. 1t has extensive bitumen mines in
Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Luis Obs
po counties. Its facilities for the per-
formance of this particular class Of work
are uneXcelled. The company also manu-
factures vitrified brick on a large scale
and about a year ago acquired the Steiger
which the best ironstone pipe for sewers
known to the trade is issued. At the pres
ent time this company has under construc-
ton at Hunters Point, San Francisco, one
of the largest dry docks in the world. and
Is also engaged in building the roadway to

VIENNA, Dec. IA violent scene
arose in the Reichsrath yesterday, when
a socialist member, Herr Ellenbogen, de-
scribed the proceedings of the anti
Semites at the recent municipal elections
as deceitful. A furious interchange of
epithets followed, the rival parties call
ing each other Swindlers, thieves and
rogues. This led to unseemly scuffies.
The astonishing scene was brought to a

Goethe's "Goez Won Berlichingen," which

GREAT FALLS LIBRARY.

The mayor of the city Of Great Falls
has received notice from the personal
representative of Andrew Carnegie, no.
tifyng all concerned in the recent do
nation to the Great Falls library that
the money is ready to be paid over when
ever proper application is made. The
city government of Great Falls has al
ready secured a site for the Carnegie
library and nothing is lacking except the
cash of the steel magnate to make the
project a success. The result of Great
Falls application to Carnegie for money
with which to build a library should be
encouraging to other sections Of Mon
tana where a doubt exists respecting the
results that flow from public spirit prop
ery put forth. Citizens Of Great Falls
are entitled to congratulation upon hay
ing officials SO ready and resourceful that
the millions of a Carnegie are made to
contribute to the upbuilding of the town.
There is little matter of $4,000 per year
for the support of the library which
must be considered in connection with
the donation. Concerning this part of
the transaction the city government of
the Falls City has made suitable pro-
vision. Having entered into the project
of securing a library with Carnegie's
money, citizens of Great Falls went con-
1dently forward until now the realiza-
ton of the project is only a matter Of
attending to formal details. For this
energy ENTERPRISE persistence, tact and
confidence in the city where their lines
are cast Great Falls citizens are en-
titled to all praise.
