TO FENCE BOERS IN.
British Must Be Patient Until Barbed
Wire Is Ready.

A correspondent of the Times, wiring
from Pretoria, says much remains to be
done in the way of partitiOning the coun-
try by means of lines of blockhOuses
before the British can hope effectively to
clear the Beers away from the large
districts of the Eastern Transvaal. 1t
is found that blockhouses a mile or
more apart are useless in preventing
the passage of Beers at night when
they are determined to cross. Nothing
short of blockhouses 600 or 700 yards
apart and connected by means of formid-
able wire entanglements will prove eff
fective.
To thread the country in this way,
says the correspondent, requires time
and men, but in the opinion of military
authorities it is the only method of deal
ing with an enemy who refuses to fight
and adopts guerrilla tactics. The Brit
ish public must, therefore, be patient.
North of the Delagoa railway line,
the dispatch goes on to say, the Beers
are momentarily free from the presence
of the British columns. The noun
tain ranges afford endless hiding places
for the enemy. supplies are plentiful.
and wheat, which finds it's way all over
the country, is carefully concealed for
future use. 1t is impossible to avoid
this unless the Beers are kept moving
and to effect this many more troops are
required.

FEAR the OUTCOME
ENGLAND LOOKING WITH ANX-
? IETY TOWARD VENEZUELA.
AMERICAN POSITION UNKNOWN
President Castro Is Said to Be to Blame
for the Present Ill Fortune Of His
Country-English Railway In
terests in Danger.
(By Associated Press

London, Dec. 31.-The outcome of the
dispute between Germany and Vene-
zuela is regarded with anxiety in Eng
land, and consols which Mr.. Gladstone
once described as the most inteili-
gent of all things inanimate, fell three
sixteenths on apprehension as to the at
titude that may be adopted by America.
There are at least three railways in
Venezuela which have been constructed
by British capital and the English
shareholders are watching with anxious
interest for the sequel to the present
disturbed state of the country. Informa-
ton which is reaching London from the
representatives of the various companies
is of very scanty nature.
So far it would seem the English prop
erty has not been seized. but it is feared
that the time will not be long.
In London circles President Castro Is
blamed for present disorders. He is ac-
cused of having sacrificed the peace AMI
prosperity of his country to his own per-
sonal pride, and an improvement is not
looked for until he has been deposed.

Helena, Dec. 31.-Dr. A. F. Longeway
Of Great Falls. secretary of the state
bLard of health, has filed his annual re-
port with the governor. He criticises
the custom Of county commissioners in
calling for bids for county medical at

He believes the practice bad ore
and that appointments should be made
by the board of reputable physician
at salary that will repay him for his
services. and not oblige the successful
bidder to do the work for much less
than it is really worth.
Further. DR.. Longeway reports. that
since the organization of the board of
health the work Of the county and city
boards has become more uniform and
sanitary conditions all over the state
have materially improved.
Discussing contagious diseases the re-

deaths from virulent diseases. and aside
from an occasional outbreak Of small

free from contagious diseases.

Seattle, Dec. 31.-A marine survey, held
yesterday, reveals greater damage to the
schooner Stimson. which was fouled and
dragged last Thursday by the Robert

starboard side was carried away. the
shaft and other parts of her patent wind
lass broken, the main rail on the star
board side broken, parts of the hull
above the water line chafed, and nume--
Gus minor injuries sustained.

Parties interested in the industry state
that wherever sugar beet factories have

a higher profit than is possible with any
other crop. Sugar beets grow especially
prolific in irrigated lands where water

ture of beet s,gar giving market for
these products. The beet pulp is found
