OGDEN CONGRESS
AND BEET SUGAR.
Decided Influence of Irrigation
On the Sugar En-
terprise.
SUGAR TRUSTS CONVERSION.
Vigorous Remarks of the Beet SUGAR
Gazette on the Tender of Mr.
Havemeyer's Loving Cup.

How wide reaching is the influenza
OF the coming Irrigation congress AT
Ogden, can be well appreciated By a
perusal of the following article from
the Beet Sugar Gazette, an influential
magazine devoted to the interests Of
the beet sugar industry, and published
In Chicago;
The eleventh annual session OF the
National Irrigation Congress will be
held at ogden, Utah, Sept IS TO Is
1908, The general representative ey.
ecutive committee has received assur.
ances from the western states and ter.
rltories sufficient 10 warrant their
statement, made in a recent circular
that this will be the most important
convention ever held In America, or In
the world In the interest of irrigation,
and OF agriculture and horticulture un-
der irrigation"
We also learn from this circular that
President III. o. Havemeyer Of tho
American Sugar Refining company has
placed the sum Of $500 for a silver low.
Ing cup at the disposal of the executive
committee, This cup will be presented
by the congress for the best sugar beets
shown az the exhibition of agricultural
and horticultural products OF the SEMI
arid region. This Is certainly pleas
ant surprise for the beet sugar people
To find that the one-time grim enemy
of the beet sugar industry Is suddenly
awaking to the possibilities Of this In
dustry in the semi-arid West and en-.
couraging 1t liz not only OF the highest
significance for the future of our In
dustry, but also proves the correctness
OF the following position taken by the
Beet Sugar Gazette In its editorial OF
May, 1902 After realizing the hope
lessness of attempting to destroy the
beet sugar industry of this country the
next logical step for the sugar trust Is
naturally to go into the beet sugar
business itself. OF course, II IL doing
this for its own benefit. But in work
ing for itself II must at the same time
promote the further development Of the
beet sugar Industry" II is, perhaps
worth while to point out In this connec'
ton that the Brussels convention takes
force with the nrst of September, re-
sulting in a rise of the world market
price for raw sugar and thus not only
increasing the cost of the raw material
for the sugar trust but also materially
diminishing the supply Of raw beet
sugar from Germany and Austria, and
diverting much OF the Cuban sugar to
the English market. Under these err
oumstances the sudden sollcltude OF MI
Havemeyer for the American beet su'
gar industry becomes quite natural
The apparent Inconsistency OF the
sugar trust In weakening the beet sugar
industry by Cuban reciprocity treaty
and at the same time encouraging
sugar beet growers by prize is easily
explained. The present lnyestmentsol
the trust In the beet sugar Industry are
comparatively insignificant by the SIDE
OF It's refining interests The immediate
interests of the trusts are all bound up

Cal cura Solvent, Dr.. Kennedy's New Medl- cine Will Dissolve and Expel Stone and Gravel from the System.

A surgical operation is no longer neces- sary for the removal of Stone and Gravel from the Kidneys and Bladder, since the aaeao medicine, Cal-cura Solvent, discovered by the well-known physician and surgeon, Dr. David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, Kingston, N. Y., quickly dissolves and swiftly expels Stone, Red and White Grav- el, thus freeing the patient of the infamma- ton and pain, caused by the presence of these lime formations. Better than all, Cal-cura Solvent prevents the formation of Stone and Gravel and all uric acid condi- tions of the blood. The medical profess sion has accepted and heartily endorsed the principal upon which Dr. Kennedy has based his claims for Calcura Sol- vent.
