Beet Production Greater.

In comparison with these figures
are those showing the beet sugar pro
duction OF Europe. The best Euro.
pean authorities place the total pro.
duction for 1902 at 6,7100O0 tons.
For this previous year 1t was 6,06S,99
tons. The beet sugar crop of Amer.
lea adds 100000 tons to this beet SUI
gar total, making 1t 6,S6O,OOQ tons.
These figures very strongly call at
tention to the wonderful growth of
the beet sugar industry abroad. Beet
sugar is comparatively a new thing
and is one Of the things the world
owes to Napoleon. When hostile ar
mics blockaded France, and cut off
her supply Napoleon called upon the
scientists of France to discover q
source and a process through which
France would be able to furnish her
own supply of sugar. Experiments
were made with many plants, but 1t
was finally decided that the beet was
in every respect the most available,
and from this start has grown the
great beet sugar industry of the world.
OF the cane sugar of the world the
United States uses the greater part.
In 1900 when the entire production of
North South and Central America was
2,2O4252 tons OF cane sugar the con.
sumption of sugar in this country
was 2,2l9,S47 tons.
Demand 10 Increasing.
The demand for sugar is increasing
very rapidly, more rapidly perhaps
than the production, The United
States Department of Agriculture in

speaking of this says in late report:
I'm this country there is scarcely
an individual who can not be classed
as a consumer regularly and directly OF
this product. It is only necessary to
study the constantly widening use to
which sugar is put in order to under.
stand the wonderful increase in its
consumption. Even as an article Of
diet the amount of sugar consumed
per capita has grown greatly in the
last half century and quite perceptibly
in the last quarter. The prime rea.
sons for this increase are (D, the
fact that the people are becoming
more able to purchase the good things
Of life; (2), the gradual cheapening
of sugar. Many things that we're for
merly luxuries are now real necessi.

was first on the list to be affected by
the demand for a better style of liv.
ing. AS the eyars roll on this increase
will be more or less constant"
The countries which use the larg.
est amount of sugar are not the coun.
tries in which the greatest amount of
sugar is produced. The explanation
OF this fact is found in the laws, which
hedge about and turn into unnatural
channels this industry as they do no
other. The great sugar producing
country of Germany legislates sugar
out of the mouths of its own people.

SAVED FROM DEATH.

Hope, Idaho, Sept. 5.-Through the
heroic efforts of William Hawkins
two persons were saved from a wa
terry grave yesterday.
John Ashley, farmer from Pack
river, his daughter and Mr.. Hawkins
were rowing to town across the nor
thern end of Lake Pend d'OreilIe
When about nalf mile from shore
the boat sprung lea-l and in a few
minutes the boat was half fu-- of wa
ter. Miss Ashley began to bail out
the water, while the men kept the
boat from overturning and tried to
paddle to land. But the water gained
rapidly On the young woman. Seeing
that bailing was doing little good,
Miss Ashley also took to the oars
and the three pulled for life.
The boat was about rs feet from
shore when Miss Ashley's strength
gave out. Hawkins promptly jumped
into the lake, and, pulling Miss Ash
ley from the boat, he swan with her
to land.
Just as they reached safety the
boat sank with Mr.. Ashley, but Haw-
kins, who is a powerful swimmer,
plunged in again and quickly reached
the side of the unfortunate man and
safely piloted him to shore Mr.. Ash
ley is SO years of age.

vention as soon before the state con-
that it be held Saturday, Sept. 20.
at 10 o'clock a. m. There was some
discussion on this question, a num-
Der Of the committeeman being of the
opinion that if the convention was
held on that date there would not be
sufficient time to allow the delegates
from this county to reach Bozeman
on the 23d The objection was not
sustained however, and the motion
was carried. Committeeman Demp-
sey Of Dayton, who was in excellent
spirits, was much opposed to so
much rush, end stated tina in his
opinion the state cents al committee
was in serious error in not giving
the Flathead county democrats more
time, for said he, Il live 40
miles from Kalispell, and I whipped
my cayuse on the back and pounded
it on the belly and tnen only got
here 4ust in time for the meeting to-
day" There was no change made,
convention will be held at the court
house in Kalispell, Saturday, Septem-
Der 90
The date for holding the primaries
was set for Wednesday, September
II, between the hours of two and
nine O'Clock p. M, the exact hours
to be set by the committeeman of the
different precincts.
The basis of apportionment for del
egates at the county convention was
fixed at one delegate at large from
each district and one delegate for
each Is votes or major fraction there,
of cast for Governor Toole.
After some other discussion rela-
tive 10 the standing of Somers to the
Broclen district the meeting ad-
journed.
AS a result of the action of the COM
mittee in basing the representation on
the vote cast tor Gov. Toole, the dele
cations from the majori of the
country precincts to the county con-
vention will be cut down from one to
three representatives while kalispell
will gain three. The total number of
delegates, basing the apportionment
on one delegate for each Is and major
fraction votes will be 81, while last
year there were 101 at the conven-
zion.

titled that she and Lulu Baker asked

Conroy and Schan would better get

BY the Spokane Gas Company and
Charged With
CALAMITOUS CONSPIRACY
In Causing the Arrest of the Superin-
tendent and Engineer While They
Were on Duty-Company Will Not
Make Concessions to the Strikers
to Break Boycott.

Spokane, Sept. 8.-Sensational
charges against strikers are made by
the Spokane Falls Gas Light COM
pany in a signed letter to the Chron-
icle today. The company charges
that the strikers by causing the ar
rest of the assistant superintendent
and engineer "Conspired to bring
about calamity which, if successful,
would have wrought death and de-
struction to many homes. The gas
holder was very low" says the COM
plant, with no one understanding
the boiler remaining at the works
the pressure would have been with
drawn from the mains and the gas
extinguished. With the pressure re-
stored the escaping gas would soon
have made desolate the homes of
many. For this reason the company
defies the threatened boycott and de-
clares it impossible to entertain any
proposition to relnstate the strikers.

The democratic central committee
met at the commissioners room in
the court house yesterday afternoon
and decided upon the date OF the
county convention, as we'll as the pri-
maries. Only about ten delegates
were present when the meeting was
called together by Chairman Pratt
and the meeting soon got down to
regular business. After the roll call,
Chairman Pratt made short speech
and read an editorial from the Butte
Miner, giving Senator Clark's views
on the present political situation. Mr..
Pratt's purpose was not entirely clear
at the time, but later developments
of the meeting showed that the edi-
torial was read for the benefit of
those members who supported the In
dependent democratic ticket two
years ago. The keynote of the edi-
torial was contained in the para
graph which said: "The independ-
ents representing lost cause-have
disbanded and returned to the party
but to serve an apprenticeship in
politics to those more faithful than
themselves, and to atone for the mis-
takes of Judgment and of purpose
made in the breakaway of two years
ago."
That the Independent democrats
were not to be recognized in any way
was made more clear later on, when
the matter of apportionment of dele
gates was reached. A motion was
made to base the apportionment lpon
the vote cast for Governor Toole in
1900 This was objected to by some
of the committeeman from country
precincts, where large vote was
cast for the Independent democratic
ticket, as it had the effect of entirely
shutting out such democrats from
representation in the convention and
reduced by one-half the number of
delegates that would be allowed to
some of the country precincts. F..
NJ McKissen of Helena Flats pre-
cinct and Thomas Lee of Bad Rock
made a strong effort to have the ap-
portionment based on the vote cast
for Judge Smith, as Judge Smith was
on both democratic tickets, but the
Toole apportionment was engineered
by A. J. King, and Mr.. King was too
smooth for the country committee
men, as the Toole apportionment was
adopted by a good majority
Mr.. King made short talk upon
the wisdom of holding the county con.

Helena, Sept. 3.-The republican
state convention will be held at
Great Falls Saturday, Sept q, and
there will be 434 delegates entitled
to seats in the convention. This was
decided upon this afternoon at a
meeting of the republican state cen
tral committee. The meeting was a
tame affair and the lack of interest
shown in the gathering even by the
republicans themselves is illustrated
by the fact that less than half of the
counties were represented by the
members from those counties. There
were IL members of the committee
present, less than a quorum neces-
sary to do business and mad it not
been for the fact that five of the
members of the committee who did
not want to come were thoughtful
enough to provide for emergencies
by arranging for proxies, it is doubt

sacted business.
The representation in the forth
coming convention by counties will
be as follows:
Beaverhead. A.; Broadwater, 5;
Carbon, 15; Cascade, 35; Choteau,
10; Custer, 10; Dawson, 8; Deer
