fight and stated that they were just as
brave men as any that ever charged q
battle field.
Senator Burrows delivered a short ad-
dress following Secretary Wilson and
clearly defined his position regarding
the proposed reduction OF the tariff on
sugar. His recital OF the determined
fight against the measure by the Michi-
gan delegation was very interesting and
the people were given much informa-
ton that many we're in ignorance Of,
especially regarding the proposed treaty
with Cuba that has been prepared and
if ratified will reduce the duty on
Cuban sugar imported from S1.6S
per 100 pounds to 81 30, reduction of
90 per cent and will prevent further
controversy over the question for at
least six years. In the end such a
treaty will not prove detrimental TO the
farmers is his opinion. Such a treaty
will guard against further removal Of
tariff from sugar from the Philippines
or any foreign country during that
period Senator Burrows further stated
that il the farmers would do their duty
in raising sugar beets and cultivate the
crop, that the Michigan delegation In
congress would protect their interests at
Washington.
After q few words by Gov Bliss the
meeting was adjourned and the visitors
were driven TO the sugar factory for in
spection Of the plant. but before leaving

the opera house they were given evil
dence of the fact that Alma has COL
lege by a number of students who
greeted them with their yell
The visit at the factory was Of short
duration, the pulp drier claiming the
largest amount OF attention from the
party, as there are only two OF them in
Michigan, one at Bay City and the 9th er
at Alma, that part of the industry being
new feature in this country.
Before the party left the factory
grounds. a pleasing incident took place
when number Of school children
marched in body TO where Secretary
Wilson was standing with several Others
and requested an address which he very
pleasingly complied with and then Gov.
Bliss was was accorded the same invi-
tation, the governor saying a few words
TO the youngsters and shaking many OF
them by the hand AS the train pulled
out for Saginaw, the children gave the
members OF party cheer after cheer.
From Saginaw visit TO the Owosso
factory will be made today and the
junket end there as it has been found
necessary to cut out Lansing for the
reason that Secretary Wilson's presence
is necessary in Washington Saturday
The general expression from the visi-
tors was that the sugar factory at Alma
was the cleanest and best managed OF
any visited so far on the trip

One can the better realize what are
luxuries of the table in The valley Of
the Yukon by reading Mrs. Sullivan's
book, "A Woman Who Went to Alas
ka." 1t was on the way down the
river from Dawson that her party
came upon the first vegetable gar
dens.
The river banks were lined with ca
noes; many natives stood looking at us
from the shore, and while stevedores
handled the wood, many passengers
visited the town. 1t was not long be-
fore they came back with handfuls Of
turnips, just pulled from the ground.
which, had these been the most lus-
cious fruit, could not have been eaten
with more relish.
/ tried to buy one from young
man, but he had evidently been long
away from such luxuries, for he re-
fused to sell. Afterward his gallantry
got the better of him, and he politely
offered me one-half of the turnip,
which l took with thanks.
AS my brother peeled the precious
thing, l asked him how long It was
since he had eaten one. Two years"
he promptly replied.
Knowing that he was especially fond
of such things, ate small slice, and
gave him the remainder.
