SINGULAR EXPERIENCE.
Chicago Man Escapes Death In Pc
cuIiar Manner.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-"Block the lin
tied. There's a man on the COW
catcher" This message, flashed alons
TIE Pennsylvania line, told the story
Ct a railroad accident just outside
Of Chicago, which nearly cost C max }
life and which trainmen say was al
Uost unprecedented in heir expert
ence. John Hancrow, while crossing
the tracks in Park Manor, was caught
from his feet, hurled in the air, re
caught in the cow-catcher, and while
the train sped on nearly a mile q
minute he saved himself by wrapping
his Gims around the iron beams N
front OF the engine.
Two Of his ribs and one of his leg
were broken. yet in spite of freezins
temperature he chung for four miles
unable to get a signal to the engineer
and fireman who were only a few
feet behind him. Not until the tele
phone messages were sent ahead ant
the train was stopped by signal a,
the river line station was the mar

The beautiful sun is shining today.
We hope our worst storms are over and
we sincerely hope, too, the bear will
not see his shadow on that certain day
in February, for if he does, we shall all
feel discouraged, for this is certainly
the worst winter we have seen since
coming to Michigan, which is a good
many years-The sleighing is just a
little too good, that is, snow enough
but not travel enough to make it just
lovely, as they all say-More sales of
farms near this place. E. Hart has sold
out to Mr.. Nelson. Don't know where
he is going-The miners are finding
coal in paying quantities, vein of Al
feet thick at present and growing bet
ter. We are glad. Who wants to buy
the next farm near here now? Some
one will surely. If the coal keeps on in
creasing in profit we can all ride in an
automobile about next year-The La
dies Aid Society will meet next week
Mr.. Royce, our mail carrier has
had quite long siege of sickness. We
hope to see him out soon-Monday
morning was the coolest in this section
this winter, the thermometer dropping
to % below zero - Several parties
think Of going south another season, for
this winter is dear one for the farmer
and costs very much more to winter our
stock. 1t is not all profit but we will
give them all care possible, for it pays
in the end not to bring them out in
spring looking poor and thin. You
can always tell mean farmer by look
ing at his stock, nothing surer ANY
man that starves his stock ought to be
starved himself.

Harmony Needed.

There is stronger feeling than ever
that any division among the republi-
cans would be the worst thing possible
for business interests of the country,
and certain business interests which
thought that it would not be bad thing
to have a democratic president so long
as the senate remained unchanged, now
are taking more conservative view.
The construction of the Panama canal
under opposition auspices would be re-
garded with great apprehension by the
fnanciers of the country. The condi-
ton of things in the Philippines, which
has SO greatly improved under. the re-
publican administration, it is feared.
would be seriously adverse if the new
possessions were left to the'mercy of a
divided congress. The United States as
q world power has scored greatly under
Secretary Hay and the president and
much would be risked by upsetting the
administration Kalamazoo Telegraph.

Michigan for Roosevelt.

+ Mr.. Fred M. Warner, secretary of the
state of Michigan, was at the capitol
this morning consulting members of the
Michigan delegation. Mr.. Warner is
now in the gubernatorial race, and is
said to have the situation we'll in hand
Speaking of nat ional politics the dis
tinguished visitor said:
'The people Of Michigan are unquali-
fed in their endorsement and support of
President Roosevelt, and any st atement
to the contrary does not reflect the true
sentiment found in the state. Mr..
Roosevelt stands for the paramount is
sues of the day, and without him the
issues upon which we expect to draw
the vote Of the people would be eliminat-
ed. I'VE have no other candidate in
mind and the people of the state would
not consent to the nomination of any
one but Mr. Roosevelt.
1.-THE feeling in his favor is so strong
that many independent democrats have
announced it as their intention to vote
for him, as he stands for the republic
and the things that ale nearest the
hearts of the people. From the Wash

Beet Sugar Industry.

The year 1903 was, upon the whole,
a most satisfactory one for the develop
ment of the American beet sugar in
dustry," says Frank Roderus, editor of
the Beet Sugar Gazette. There were
under construction during the past year
twelve new factories, with combined
capacity of $500 tons of beets per day.
Of these nine were completed in time
to make sugar during the past season.
The other three, located at Charlevoix
and Mount Pleasant, Mich, and Glen
dale, Ariz.. respectively, will be COM
pleted for the sugar making campaign
of 1904 The beet sugar factories have
not all finished slicing beets for this
year and it is impossible, for this reason,
to furnish accurate figures But the
total production of sugar for the cam
paign of 1904 may be estimated at
pretty close to 515,200,000 pounds, as
compared with 437, 1897, 100 pounds in
1908.
1.-THE total acreage devoted to the
growing of sugar beets in 1908 was
about 295, 900 acres, against 260, 900 acres
in 1902. The total number of factories
IN operation in 1908 was so, located as
follows: California o, Colorado 6: Idaho
1; Michigan 90; Minnesota l. Nebraska
8; New York 2; Ohio 1; Oregon 1 Utah
4; Washington 4; Wisconsin L. while
the money invested in all of the existing
plants, including the working capital
amounts to nearly $50, 100000.
Remarkable as has been the develop
ment of the beet sugar industry during
the past five years, it is infinitesimal
when the future possibilities of the in
dustry are taken into consideration,
based upon the consumption of sugar
in this country. The present consump-
ton of sugar in the United States is
about six billion pounds per year, five
and half billion of which is imported,
including about three billion pounds
which are supplied by China AS the
entire domestic production amounts to
little more than six million pounds, it
will readily be seen that no less than
six hundred beet sugar factories, with a
capacity of 1000 tons of beets each per
day during sugar making campaign,
would be required to produce all of the
sugar which we now consume. In addi-
ton to these it would be necessary to
erect ten new factories each year to
keep pace with the annual increase in
consumption. The industry must, there
fore, inevitably grow to large proper
tions in the United States, notwith-
standing the efforts to check its growth
by the sugar trust and the setbacks
caused by unfavorable legislation"

Mckinley Day.

1.-The Carnation League of America, :"
instituted as an annual memorial to the
late President William Mckinley and
dedicated to national patriotism, is a
fixed institution and insures perennial
observance of January 20, the anniver-
sary of his birth, as Mckinley Day."
To wear the presidents favorite flower,
the carnation, in the lapel of the coat,
in the hair, or at the throat, in silent
memory of departed public servant,
is what is contemplated by this move
ment, in which the young and old of
both sexes can have part. The GUS
tom was first observed on January 90,
1908, with the greatest unanimity
throughout the country and by Amer
leans all over the world 1t is simple,
inexpensive act full of patriotic senti-
ment.
The custom will undoubtedly be OBJ
served the coming Goth day of January
more universally, if that is possible,
than on the initial day year ago. In
terest in the memorial day has increased
wonderfully during the last year, and

owosso SUGAR co.
Farmers are Royalty Entertained and
Shown Through tho Plant.

From The Carson City Gazette,
A delegation of twenty four farmers
from around Carson City and nearby
stations. had the pleasure of visiting and
looking over the Owosso Sugar Co.'S.
plant recently. This visit was planned
and supervised by Messrs. Wilson, of
Carson City, and Longwood, of Perrin
ton, the company's agents and the ex-
pense was borne by the Owosso Sugar
Co. III
Their object in doing this was to give
the farmers chance to see how the
beets were weighed, tared and tested
and also to get ageneral idea Of how the
beets are converted into sugar. The
party was conducted through the factory
by the company's agriculturist Mr.. Dol
son. His descriptions were plain and to
the point, and everyone was well salts
fed with the fairness of the weights,
tare and test. The factory is certainly
mammoth structure and if not the
largest is, at least, the best equipped in
the country. The most modern machin-
cry has been installed. q 99+' ," s1'

How Farmers Save the Country

James Wilson, Secretary of Agricul-
tnre, asked for his views as 10 the sus-
tanning powers of the American farmer
in the face of great business depression
caused by the depreciation of securities
in Wallstreet, said:
ITO one familiar with the situation it
must appear that there will be no panic
in this. country now. so long as the
farmer of the United States is able to
produce good and saieable crops The
American farmer sustains the country
and feeds great portion of the world.
From 1880 to 1890 the average of ex-
ports offarm products was more than
$7O3, 000000. In 1901 there were $052-
600, 000 In 1908 the surplus which we
did not need in this country and was
sold abroad, amounted to 1878, 900, 900.
1T was the farmer who kept the bal
ance Of trade with the United States.
Excluding the products of the farm
there was during the period from 1880
to 1902 an annual adverse balance Of
trade amounting to $62, 900. 900. In
Guiding the farm products this balance
is wiped out, and we had left 1915, 0O0,-
600 to the credit of this country. Dur
ing 1908 there was an unfavorable bal
ance of trade in exports and imports
other than those of the farm, which
amounted to $4,000, 900 but when the
farmers part in the international COM
merce is included the balance, in our
favor is just about 1867, 900, o0o.D
