Michigan called upon President Roose-
Welt and before leaving presented him
with memorial bearing upon the ques-
ton of reducing the tariff ON Cuban
sugar. Mr. J.. r.. Hathaway. general
manager Of the Alma Sugar Co., was
member of the committee aud through
his courtesy we publish "a copy of the
memorial:
January goth, 1902.
THE PRESIDENT
The representatives of the Beet Sugar
Industry of the State Of Michigan de-
sire 10 submit for Your consideration the
following statement
The National Republican platform of
1896. reaffirmed IN 1900, contained the
following plank: PROTECTION for Sugar
Growers We condemn the present adj
ministration for not keeping faith with
the sugar producers OF this country.
The Republican party favor such pro-
lection as will lead 60 the production on
American soil Of all the sugar which
the American people use, and for which
they paw other countries more than
800. 900 900 annually
Infulfllmeuto OF this promise Congress
passed the Diuulev law which went in.
70 effect in July 1897. Within two
months thereafter the contract was let
for the first beet sugar factory IN
Michigan This factory took off its
first crop the fall of 1898. Since that
time twelve other factories have been
erected and four more are now IN pro
cess of construction. The capital I'M
vested emo watered stock is $4,000 600.
In 1898 Michigan paid the Sugar Trust
81, 600 600 for sugar consume /. In 1901
her own factories produced 1875. 496, 600
pounds OF graduated SUGAR, or 500 of
her consumption, for which she received
s5.G47 .320. Beets now under contract
for the compaign Of 1902 will increase
the output to 1913 sol 90 pounds, or 2495
above her consumption.
In 1901 Michigan raised 66, 400 acres Of
beets. yielding 597 800 tons, for which
16.SlS farmers received Bios, 500. In
the beet fields 33, 701 persons found en-
plovment during the growing season.
besides ? ,6iS factory hands during the
manufacturing period.
We cannot stand any reduction In the
tariff on raw sugar, especially as such
reduction will serve only 70 benefit the
Sugar Trust thereby furnishing them
with increased funds with which 70
combat our growing industry.
Because the Republican party has al
WAYS kept its promises, Michigan has
ever remained true 90 that party's prin
ciples. To-Day her SONS believe that the
sacred pledge given in 1896 and re-
affirmed i'm 1900, a pledge upon which we
have already invested over $40 00O, 900
will be kept inviolate We cannot he
lieve that the industry thus iuaugu
rated will be- ruined by the very polltica
party which gave u birth; thai oul
seventeen busy factories Will be closed
only 90 stand as monuments marking
the power Of the Sugar Trust in IT.

Brain-fOOd Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food is
needed for brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A cor
rect diet will not only nourish a par
ticular part Of the body, but it will
sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good the food may be, its
nutriment is destroyed by Indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the favOrite
medicine of the healthy millions. A
few doses aids digestion, stimulates
the liver to healthy action, purifes
the blood, and makes you feel buoy
ant and vigorous. You can get DR..

InCendiarV Fires,

What is believed to have been d
bold and desperate attempt to destroy
the city of PIattevilIe was frustrated
early on Tuesday morning by the fire
department and number Of the citi-
zens, who turned in and fought
against the flames. Two fires were
discovered at about the same time in
different parts Of the town, and both
were undoubtedly of incendiary ORR
gin. At about the time that the fires
were discovered men were seen run
ming away from where the blazes ORR
ginated, and later a farmer saw three
men running away from the city on
the Lancaster road. The sheriff is in
pursuit of the men and thinks that he
will have little difficulty in capturing
them.

William Brown.

County Commissioner of Baker coun-
ty, Oregon, died at his home in Baker
City on Friday morning, March IA,
aged 81 years. He leaves a wife,
three grown daughters and a SOP.
He was a son of the late Mr.. and Mrs.
James F. Brown, who were we'll
known residents of this place. He
resided here until 1862, when he cross
ed the plains in company with others
using wagons as mode of conveyance.
In 1865 he located a homestead seven
miles northwest of Baker City, where
he continuously resided since. He
was elected to the board of county
commissioners of Baker county in
1894 and reelected in 1898. He was
an active member of the NJ. E. church
and also an honored member of Bak-
err City Lodge f. and A. M. The
morning Democrat Of Baker City says
of him: "Besides being one of the
most highly respected and successful
farmers of Powder River Valley, he
was regarded as an honest, upright
and thoroughly Christian man. His
integrity won for him many friends,
and his word was accepted on a par
with his bond" In an editorial arti-
Gle on his demise The Morning Demo-
crat says: THE death of William
Brown is felt throughout the county
by great and small and there is none
that can cast a slur against the public
or private life of this man. If all
public officers could go to their last
account with as white sheet on life's
ledger there would be no occasion for
the bitter wrangles over government
that now fill the daily journals Of the
world.
