SUGAR BEET GROWING.
Montana a Natural Habitat of Roots.
Good Results Reported.

Reporting upon the sugar beet situa
ton in Montana, Dr.. +. w. Traphagen,
the chemist of the experiment station,
expresses the confidence that Mon
tana conditions are favorable to the
production of sugar bcets of high sug-
ar content and standard purity" 9th
er conclusions are:
1T is clearly demonstrated that
greater attention on the part of farm
ers to the care of the crop would be at
tended with marked improvements in
the quality of the product.
Several localities similar in loca-
ton and climate to the Gallatin val
ley possess all the requirements of
sites for the location of beet sugar
factories.
Sugar beets containing the required
amount of sugar and of sufficient pu-
rity cannot be grown in presence of ex-
cess of alkali.
Montana appears to be the natural
habitat Of root crops, and the difficulty
is to keep down the growth and pre-
vent the formation of too large roots. "
Concerning three agricultural val
leys of the state in which beets have
been tested, DR.. Traphagen' says: "Fuel
is easily Obtainable and cheap, water
is pure and abundant, limestone of
great purity is available and land
sufficient to produce the crop and at
the same time sustain a logical three
years rotation is at hand.
at is the custom of the beet sugar
companies to pay for the railroad haul,
and where the beets are sliced to
await their call they pay 20 cents addi-
tional per ton. The method of SLIDING
in use is very simple, consisting only
in making a trench more or less deep
and as wide as necessity demands and
| after filling with beets, covering over
with the loose soil previously removed
Until the product of the sugar beet
fields is absorbed by beet sugar fac
tories and while the experimental
work necessary to prove the claims OF
various localities is going on the roots
can be very proftably fed to stock"

A story of Bishop williams.

1t is told of Bishop Williams of Con-

bishop of the Episcopal church in

on bachelors, the tax to be increased a
certain per cent for every ten years Of
bachelorhood.
"Why. bishop" said the young man,
"at your age you would have to pay
about 500 year"
"Well," said the bishop quietly and
in his old time vernacular, cts with

The order filed to-day commutes the
sentence from seven to five years.
Hamilton's record Is perfect, and he
is entitled to parole on serving half
the five years. He has been in the
penitentiary since Feb. 20, 1901, and
has therefore two years eight months
and several days. - zs:3.
The case has been hanging fire for
several months, but the board Is now
convinced thatehis health will be per-
,manently impaired if he remains long
err in prison. vT
The order filed to-day reads as fol-
lows: - '@a.." 81 -
In re application Of Frank H. Ham
ilton.
Clemency for the petitioner is urged
on several grounds
Only one Of them, however, appeals to
the board. The board Is satisfied that
petitioners trial was fair and the verdict
and sentence just. but it is also satisfied
from the official report of the warden
and the prison physician and other evil
dence that he has been afflicted IN the
past with tuberculosis, and unless his
time IS shortened, SO that he may be
paroled and thereby avoid confinement
within the prison during the coming win
ter, his health will be permanently i'm
paired by a recurrence of tuberculosis.
| Solely for this reason the board deems
| It humane and wise to commute his SEN
tence so that the board Of control may
parole him at once If it deems it proper
so to do, instead Of waiting until July
next. when one-half Of his term will have
expired.
Therefore, it is ordered that petition
| er,s sentence be committed to a term OF
five years from Feb. 20, 1901.

many instances those who have gone
to see them will not file. The struggle
will come in cases where rival SQUAT
tiers are claimants, and there will
likely be many contests later on. We
will experience no trouble in taking
care of the business, and it will e1-

fact that many filings will be made

Minneapolis Men First.
The land office was opened prompt
ly at this NOR Aning and with the
police to keep order, everything moved
like clockwork. The first man to file
was Peter Johnson Of Minneapolis,
who made entry on the southeast
quarter section Of SO, 1852, 80. John
Carlson Of Minneapolis was next, and
filed on the southwest quarter of SO,
followed by Frank Arbe Of Chicago,
who filed on the northwest quarter OF
the same section.
The work of taking the filings was
rapidly done, thirty-two being handled
in the first hour. At noon the ma
jority of the crowd had made filings
and the rush had somewhat abated.

Cass Lake, Mimi, Nov. 1O.-The
rush for the land thrown on the mar
ket for homestead entry at the Cass
Lake office began in earnest last
evening. After the close Of the office
for the day a line Of men to the num-
Der Of fifty, was quickly formed out
side the door. AS the evening passed
the line was augm ented in numbers
until at 10 o'clock there were about a
hundred.
It was then agreed to give out num-
bers among the crowd, one being
chosen to distribute them. This was
done SO that the men would not have
to stay in a standing position all
night.
AS the night trains came in more
men were added to the crowd and at
daylight this morning the line was
again formed and the men took their
stations according to the numbers.
The first woman to appear on the
scene was Miss Nellie Boyd, of Lac
Qui Parle county. She is a cripple
and the men generously gave her a
seat at the head Of the line.
Peter Johnson of Minneapolis and
John Carlson Of st. Paul, headed the
line and were the first to make a
filing.
Register Jones has provided police
to see that order is kept and arrange
ments are made to handle the crowd
as expeditiously as possible. 1t is

sidered as being flair to good has

Washington, Nov. 10.-As a result
of conference between Secretary OF

Taylor, chief of the bureau of nay1-
cation, instructions have been sent to
the naval commanders In isthm1an

dispatch troops to the isthmus OF
Panama. Upon receiving news that
Colombian troops are being embarked
at ports on the Atlantic or the Pacific
side, United States war vessels will be
sent to these places to prevent the
embarkation. This government thinks
that is a better way to do the work
than to wait until Colombian trans
ports arrive at isthmian ports. The
instructions are in accordance with
the policy Of the president that peace
must be preserved and bloodshed pre-
vented on the isthmus. and of course,
have his approval. The Washington
government holds that this policy Is in
the interest of the general good.

financiers, who are more than likely
to be on the inside, believe that John
D. Rockefeller now controls or will
soon control the United States Steel
corporation. Brokers say they can
see in the retrenchment plans now
under way the hand and the methods
of the oil king. The transfer of 1884,
900 shares of steel preferred last week
and the buying of the common stock
daily, are said to have been almost
wholly for Rockefeller's account, the
common being secured for voting pur-
poses and the preferred as an invest
ment.
There is no doubt that Rockefeller's
influence caused the change in the
dividend policy and the concentration
plans now being carried out, which
are likely to end in H. G. Frick being
placed at the head Of the big trust,
all show the hand Of the Standard
