Sugar Is Safe.

The National Association of Beet
Sugar Manufacturers held meeting
in Washington last week and re-
elected its old officers. There many
of its members called on the ways
and means committee of the house
and after an informal conference left
highly elated over the prospect that
there would be no legislation affect
ing the existing sugar tariff. Presi-
dent Oxnard informed members Of
the committee that within ten years
the sugar beet manufactures and
growers would be able to produce
all the sugar needed for American
consumption if there were no changes
in existing tariff laws; that an enor-
nous expense has been undertaken
in irrigating the arid lands Of the
West which were especially adapted
to the growth of sugar beets; that
the manufacturers had expended
$50, 100000 in the erection of plants
and the growers more than that
amount, and that any change in the
tariff would be ruinous to the indus
try. He was assured by Chairman
Payne that no snap judgment would
be taken on the beet sugar producers,
and that if there were any committee
hearing on the subject they should
have ample notice for the presenta-
tions of facts and arguments.
The impression gained by the beet
sugar men was that the committee
would treat them fairly and that its
sentiment was adverse to any change
in tariff schedules on sugar. II this
proves to be the fact, the growth OF
the sugar industry in this state will
be phenomenal Factories will
spring up at all towns centrally 10.
Gated for the growth of the beets,
, the production of sugar will grow to
enormous proportions and an era OF
prosperity will be created in this state
such as was never dreamed Of in its
history.-Denver News.

A strong demand for hay here

Robert McGee, the trapper, pulled

McGee is we'll known in all the re

Kansas 1864 and was scalped by
Sioux Chief Little Turtle and left
for dead, but survived through care
Of surgeons at Fort Larned.
Another very peculiar" character
who is now migrating south after an
absence of year or more is one
Francis Tanderslice, who since here
before has been hunting for some
horses and buffalo that were stamped
and taken from him in 1860. He
reports finding his favorite "buck-
skin" horse in South Wyoming, but
his buffalo had been driven into hid
ing by enemies and he was unable
to bring them with him and place
them on his ranch in Texas.
A large acreage Of sugar beets
would be grown at the upper end OF
the valley if transportation facilities
were provided. The hauling of beets
8 or 10 miles is not profitable. That
'slicing station" will be realiza-
ton in the near future whereby the
beets can be sliced and carried by
gravity in pipes to the factory which
will be built at Lamar, would do
away with tbs vexed transportation
question and bring into cultivation
of sugar beets the choicest lands in
the Arkansas valley.

Last Monday morning, about s

started by an overheated stovepipe
being in contact with the woodwork.
The loss is something over $500. A

affect the laws of any state or terri,
tory relating to rights to the appro
priation of water, or its distribution
for irrigation, but state or territorial
laws shall govern and control as to
the appropriation and distribution of
water rendered available by the act" :"
The committee selected by the sena-
tors and members from the arid and
semi-arid states to prepare an irriga-
tion bill for presentation completed
its labors tonight. The committee
was in session every night this week
and all day today. A bill has been
agreed upon which is a compromise
between the Shafroth bill and the
Hansbrough- Newland bill.
The bill, as prepared, provides
that money received from the sale of
public lands shall constitute a recla-
nation fund for the construction Of
irrigation works; it is also provided
that there shall be examinations and
surveys for reservoir sites, tunnel
sites for diversion of water, and irri-
cation canals connected Herewith.
The secretary of the interior is also
authorized to withdraw from public
entry the lands required for irriga-
ton work and the public lands to be
irrigated thereby.
Upon the determination that any
project is practicable contracts shall
be let for construction provided that
the estimates of engineers show that
the cost of the enterprise will not ex-
ceed $40 per acre.
1t is provided that under the com
pletion of each project, lands to be
irrigated shall be subject to home
stead entry upon condition of reclaim
alton and payment at the time of
making final proof of settlement of
50 per acre to be covered into the re-
clamation fund Each entry is to be
limited to eighty acres.
The reclamation fund is to be used
for the operation and maintenance
of the reservoirs until otherwise pro.
vided by congress and for the main
tenance of the canals until the pay
ment by homesteaders upon the ma
jority of lands irrigated when the
canals are to be turned over to the
homesteaders and maintained and
operated by them as a corporation.
1t is further provided that if the
waters stored are more than sufficient
for the public lands or if it is deter
mined that land in private owner
ship is better suited for the utiliza
ton of the waters OF if there is suf1i-
cient for both then perpetual water
rights may be sold for the private
lands at price not less than 50 per
acre. 1t is also provided that rights
or property shall be condemned for

Many Norwegians thought it was queer
that no mention was made of Otto Sver-
drup's expedition in Perry's report. Our
latest advices from Norway explain the
matter. Perry's secretary sent the fol-
lowing cablegram to those who fitted out
Fran. Capt. Sverdrup's vessel: The
steamer Erik has obtained absolutely no
information about Fran. which was last
seen by natives from Etah, Aug. IT. 1899.
Erik brings back the mails intended for
Fran. and they will be returned to Nor
way" At least one thing now seems cer-l
tain: Fran has started for the pole 1
