Napoleon lacked steam power for his

Prof Henry Advocates Raising of
Sugar BeetS.

Editor REPUBLICAN,: The sugar
consumed by the people OF our state
costs about $4,000, 900 annually. This
means that for each working day in
the wear there must be gathered into
our banks not less than $4,000 in
cash to be sent elsewhere to pay Wis
consin's sugar bill. 1t will require
twenty large beet sugar factories to
manufacture the sugar consumed in
our state even if we export nothing
to other states The WATERFOWL
Farmers club and other people, citi-
zens of Watertown and vicinity, have
for ,me cine past been endeavoring
to secure a beet sugar factory. 1t is
possible that the opportunity for such
a factory is now close at hand. Mr..
r. g. Wagner, of Milwaukee, has Sc
cured the defunct sugar factory at
Menominee Falls and is enlarg
ing the building and putting in
entirely new machinery of ample
capacity and of the very best make.
His company has ample capital.
It now remains for Watertown to
ing a beet sugar factory Let the
farmers in the vicinity grow three or
four hundred acres of sugar beets this
year and ship them to the Menominee
Falls factory for manufacture into
sugar. This experiment will test the
question of whether or not the farmers
desire to grow beets in the future,
and further give definite information
as to the adaptation of your soil to
that crop. The writer is willing to
go on record as saying that Water
town is one of the favorable localities
in Wisconsin for beet sugar factory
Its coming will bring new indus
try to the region and prove of the
highest beneficial character to both
city and country, Mr.. Wagner has
already endeavored to interest your
citizens in this matter and he should
receive their most hearty support.

Geo. Richard has been following the

Exchange Bank from Carson each

reset the combination. The bank had
deposited in it $4,000 in silver and
gold coin with which to cash checks.
The Bonanza is reliably informed
that strong corporation was formed
here early this week in which Reno
and Eureka people are also connected,
for the purpose OF engaging in the
lumber business. A large supply OF
lumber is reported to have been al
ready ordered, and it is expected to ar
rive in Tonopah within a couple of
weeks at the latest.
The population OF Tonopah is in
creaslng SO rapidly that an old-timer
has to look around town for a couple
