oTHERWlsE BEET SUGAR INTER
EsTs WILL OPPOSE PENDING
CUBAN TREATY.
Concession to Cuba Should BE 70,
Some Definite Period In Order to In.
sure Stability Of Tariff Rates for .
Certain Specified Time-Decision to
Fight Document as Drawn Agreed
on After a Three Days Conference.

Washington, Jan. 12.-For three
aays representatives of the beet sugar
Industry of Michigan have been in con
ference in this city, not only among
themselves and other beet sugar pro
ducers from other states, but also
with the Michigan delegation in con
gress. Senator Burrows, who last
spring opposed the Cuban Legislation
then pending, has been prominent ir
the conferences.
During the day Senator Burrows had
long interview with President Roose
indicated to him that the Cuban re-
ciprocity treaty now pending in the
senate was not satisfactory to the beet
sugar interests of his state and that
it was likely to encounter serious op
position unless it could be so amended
as to provide that the concessions
made to Cuba as to tariff rates should
remain in force for five years. After
mature consideration of the treaty the
Michigan sugar producers had conclud.
ed tnat the treaty was open to oD1ec-
tion in that it did not insure stability
of tariff rates for any clearly speci.
fed period. What the producers chief
ly desire is stability of rates which
would enable them to put additional
capital in their industry and develop
it further with some assurance of sue
cess.
The strong intimation is that unless
an amendment can be made to the
pending treaty fixing the rates between
this country and Cuba for five years
the Michigan congressional delegation
will feel constrained to oppose ratifi-
cation of the treaty. In this opposi-
tion, it is said, the Michigan congress-
men will be joined by others represent
ing sugar producing states.
So far as is known the president has
not indicated what his attitude might
be in regard to the proposition to
amend the pending treaty.

There vas according to reports quite
furry on the stock board in Chicago on
the 2Sth of September, which for awhile
threatened to praoipitato a panic There
seemed TO be simultaneous disposition
from stockholders all over the country
to unload their holdings and some gilt
edged stocks fell off So points. Some of
the heavy stockholders, however, threw
their money in to the breech by buying
all that was offered and soon put stop
to the panic. This is mainly caused by
the surplus of watered stock on the mar
ket, and it is probable that these flurries
will occasionally occur until prices get
down to somewhere near a solid basis of
actual value, and then all will 90 on
quietly again.

The latest quotations for silver are 57E
cents an ounce, while the lowest was last
January when it was quoted at AZ cents
There are several reasons for the rise in
this commodity, for while it is not money
in the strict sense of the word, it is an
exceptable substitute while gold is in
hiding, and in all our retail business it
forms the chief medium of exchange.
Another reason is the large orders for
silver which have been received from
India, the PHILIPPINES and all the silver
using countries. Another reason is, that
America is producing a great many
wealthy men, and it is becoming quite a
fad amongst these to adorn their table
with solid silverware. A great deal of
the beautiful metal enters to the manu-
factories of silver plated articles for use
and ornamental decorations.

Andrew Carnegie, in speech at Bar
row, England, remarked on the decrease
of iron in the United States. He pre-
dicted that iron and steel had reached
its lowest price and that in the future
the prices of those commodities would
range much higher than in the past. 1t
is evident that Andrew has not travelled
very extensively in the west and is re-
ckoning without his host. Should he
ever take trip through the Black Hills
and Wyoming he would be compelled to
change his mind. They are taking out
100 car loads day at Hartville, loading
with steam shovels, and they have hard
ly scratched the ground in that locality.
This iron is only used for fluxing the
dry ores treated in the smelters in Colo
RADIO. When we get railroad facilities
extended to the mines of Iron Mountain
and Box Elder in Custer and Penning-
ton counties, if Mr.. Carnegie should see
it he would begin to understand that
the Masaba and the Gogebic range did
not contain all the iron in Uncle Sans
domain. 1t is too often the case that
even men who imagine themselves well
informed jump to conclusions without
taking the pains to half canvass the sub
ject. 1t is true that to utilize these vast
bodies of iron ore just at this time might
add little extra expense in the way of
transportation. But that is a matter
which is fast adjusting itself. The rail-
roads are every year increasing their ca
pacity and what they want just now is
to load their empties with freight bound
for the east. When the time comes that
more iron is demanded in the east we
will have all the facilities for getting 1t
there without much additional expense.

The story goes that Lewis became
infatuated with the girl when she was
but l6 Years old. He admits employing
her and becoming very much interested
in her, so much, in fact, that he gave
her considerable money that she did
not earn, and finally rented and fur
nished fiat for her that she might
have a chance to try her hand at play
writing. But he claims that he has
paid her all that he owes her.
Miss Billings, on the other hand,
claims that she is responsible for most
of Lewis recent literary success. She
says that his best known late stories
were written at least in part by her.
This Lewis denies.
But New York is gloating over the
case. 1t tickles New Workers to see
an old man struggling in the clutches
of a young girl. Perhaps it's because
New Workers like to see someone else
in the position which most of them
have at some time occupied.
