BITTER ROOT SUGAR BETS
Montana Affords Unrivalled Facilities
for Growing Sugar Making Prod
Ects-Good Prospects Ahead.

Report comes from the Bitter Root
valley that Henry OXnard, president of
the American Sugar Beet company, has
finished his investigation of the soil Of
Il. the DAILY ranch and adjacent properties
and has said. without qualification, that
: the place is we'll suited for the p.oduc-
ton of sugar beets as any place he has
eveT seen. He expressed himself as en-
tirely pleased with the soil and said it
. was only a matter of 4 few months
when he would be able to tell with GER
tainty whether the climate would serve
, as Il dra Wback to the enterprise he had
begun. 1t is his plan to establish in the
Bitter Root one of the larG. sugar beet
farms to be found in the country, and
from what he now knows of the place,
he is ready to declare that there is no
prospect of failure ahead of the scheme.
Nj. Oxnard was in Butte a short time
ago and in conversation With an Inter
Mountain reporter he made the state
nent that he had come to Montana to
stay for a time and would investigate
the possibilities of sugar beet culture
While here. More than this he would not
say at that time.
Mr.. OSnard has now made the state
nnent that his company, one of the
larE,est of its kind in the world, will at
lonce take steps to include Montana in
It he territory covered by it's operations.
This means that unlimited capital for
the purpose required will be available
and the work will be pushed forward re-
CARELESS of expense. Not in years has
such cheering news been given out to
residents of Montana. and the Bitter
Root valley in particular.
From what I have seen of the Bitter
Root valley SO far" said Mr.. Oxnard. Il
am of the opinion that it is one of the
finest spots in tse world for growing
sugar beets. In fact, the state of Mon

AMERICAN LEATHER ABROAD
Shipping Boots and Shoes to England
and to All Parts of the +
World =

E. L. White, of Lowell, Mass, is a
guest at the Thornton, expecting to re-
main in Butte for day or two, partly
for pleasure, partly for business. Mr.
interested in mining, having
extensive interests in Montana as well
as other western states. He will visit
the coal mines at Horn and Aldridee. in
which he, with other eastern capitalists,
is interested, and possibly take trip
through the National park.
Mr.. White was, for many years, con-
nected with the leather manufacturing
industry in Lowell, and owned the
largest leather factory in the world,
which he sold to the American Hide and
Leather company, which practically con-
trolls the leather market of this country.
He was later vice-president of the Hide
and Leather company, which does an
annual business of twenty to thirty mill
ion dollars.
American feathers are being shipped
all over the world" he said, though
there is at present little trade in the
Orient, where England has the lead. But
in England herself. we are having q
great trade. American boots an6 shoes
are being sold in great quantities right
in England, and the trade is increasing
rapidly.
Our textile trade abroad is very good
indeed. Lowell is the greatest wooden
and cotton manufacturing city in the
world. having the largest number of
spindles. This years trade is immense,
all the factories being busy. ana rim
ming to their full capacity. The city. is
growing steadily, and will doubtless
continue to do so.''
Mr.. White expressed himself as greatly
surprised and pleased with the great
business activity of Butte.

The Jockeys Superstitions

One OF the curious freaks found in the
life of a jockey is the superstition found
among the boys who follow the trade of
riding. Nearly all the slim riders who pr
lot the horses around the track have
their pet superstitions. Many of them
make frequent trips to the Columbia
Gardens in search Of four leafed cloyers,
These little tokens of luck are regarded
as valuable to the youths who ride the
racers. Immediately upon their arrival
In Butte many of the boys pegan looking
around for clover where they might
search for green tokens of fortune of the
four leafed variety. They found that the
only grass in Butte was grown at the
Columbia Gardens and thitner the jock
ey's went to pick up what they could in
the way Of lucky emblems.

will follow when the knights set together
in the new castle hall.
