Russia has taken the first step in
the partition of China by laying
hold Of the rich province of M ,u'
churia. This is in direct violation
of the policy of the open door in
China an agreement reached by
the powers when the recent Chinese
troubles were settled. The action
OF Russia breaks the international
agreement and will create a new
alignment of the powers. Russia
and France are thorough, agreed
on a policy in China and it is pre-
dicted that France will take the
next step in the partition. Great
Britain, Japan aud the United
States all protest against the
practical cession of Manchuria to
Russia. Germany has decided no,
to interfere because she considers
Manchuria ou! of her sphere Of
influence. In whatever way The
powers align themselves in this
matter, the end seems inevitable
The partition of China is at hand
The United States will stand fol
concessions favorable to American
trade aud Russia is likely to gram
this even in Manchuria.

Another Idaho Sugar Factory.

st. Anthony special 10 the Salt Lake
Deseret News says:
st is authoritatively announced here
that second sugar factory is to be in
stalled in Idaho. and that every endeavor
will be made to have it finished in time
to secure the bounty offered by the state
Legislature during 1904. While Ibis
bounty is only half cent pound the
projectors feel that it is worth striving
for. Committees have been appointed,
representing the strongest interests in
the chain of towns in Fremont county,
including ST. Anthony, Rexberg, Egin,
Teton, Parker, MILFORD and other places
These committees have secured num-
Der of guarantees, which have been laid
before Mr.. Thomas r. Cutler and asso-
ciates, the foremost of which are pledged
to plant at least 5000 acres of beets for
five years, and suitable water rights,
right of-way for the railroad tracks and
other essentials, which sugar company
would require. The committees now
state that every guarantee can he
furnished, and that the factory may be
relied on for the fall of 1904. The
country OH which it will draw is en-
tirely separate and distinct from that in
which the present Idaho Sugar company
is located, and each factory will be amply
supported by the farmers, and enabled to
work independently of the other.
"a copy of the above dispatch was
shown to Mr.. Cutler this morning. He
said it was generally correct, but added
that the chance of securing the half
cent bounty next year cut very small
figure in his calculations. That item in
fact, was insignificant, and was hardly
worth naming. If it had not been for
his belief that the district was in every
way suitable for the establishment of
sugar plant, no steps would have been
taken. The only question now unsettled
was the putting of the guarantees into
shape, and some assurance of encourage
ment from the railroad as to freight rates
on machinery, ETC., going into Fremont
county, the hauling Of bets, and the
shipment of sugar to an outside market.
This was, of course, vital point. AS
Stunning that everything would be sat
isfactorily adjusted, he thought there
was no doubt that the new factory would
be in operation year from next fall"

Honor TO the Pioneers.

! tn his speech at Alliance Ne
braska President Roosevelt paid
the following tribute to the western
pioneers:
Honor to all good citizens, he
said, 'Sut honor most Of all to the
men who took the lead in tanning
the shaggy wilderness, to the trail.
blazers, to the men who first
marked out that earliest of high
ways, the spotted line, the blszed
trail; the men who first on horse
back steered across the great lonely
plains and drove their cattle up to
feed upon the range from which
the buffalo had not yet vanished.
To you from the Black Hills who,
coming here in 1876, or at time
Immediately around that date, have
developed the wonderful mines OF
that region, have built up In what
was then an Indian haunt, a
wilderness, cities like Deadwood
and Leadvills, it has fallen 10 your
lot to see one of the great epoch
feats of the country. You are
among that body Of men who con-
quered continent for race aud a
people; who did your full share in
making the 10Th century the most
wonderful upon which the sun has
ever shone. The pioneer days
have gone, but the need of the old
pioneer virtues remain the same as
ever. You won, and you could
only win because you had in you
TIE stuff out of which strong meu
are made. In the days of 1876
here in the Black Hills the room
for the weakling or the coward
was small, and now the man who
will do descent work here must be
the man that has got the stuff In
him.

You can buy a residence lot
in Charleston by paying $1,000
down and $1,000 a month UNI
til fully paid for. No boom,
but land contract No. 1859
ha been signed. Take drive
and see how many new houses
are going up. No boom, but
in six years we have grown
from 0 to $500 souls, with
electric lights, pressure water
service and plank sidewalks.
No boom, but we have two
banks already. No boom, but
our orchards pay dividends on
a valuation of $4,000 per acre.
There is no better field for in
