CARTS Proposition.

and at the end of that time turn over
to that city absolutely free of cost the
800, 900 plant and system necessary to
furnish light seems to be meeting
with great favor, the local papers
urging the acceptance of the offer.
The CARTS propose to install a 5OO-arc
plant complete, 1900 candle power per
arc, the city to pay during ten years
the price now paid per arc light, $72
per annum. Commenting on this Mr..
CART. says: This offer is made in
absolute good faith, and for the bene-
tit Of the people Of Salt Lake City.
The city will not be asked to expend
one dollar for any purpose whatever,
and we are prepared to give bonds for

ThInslne Of Beets.

About the time that the BIZ cts show
the fourth leaf the punching and thin
ming process begins. This Is necessary
to remove the excess OF plants. Sim
gle plants should be left In the row
from to 10 inches apart, depending
on the distance between the rows and
the kind OF soil. The time OF thinning
is important. If the proper amount
of seed has been used there will be a
considerable excess of plants, due to
the nearness of the seeds to one an
other. A still further excess results
from the fact that each particular
seed contains from to 6 germs, all of
which are liable to terminate.
1t is evident that, II all the germs
in a single seed grow, we are liable TO
have bunch of several plants, stand
ing very close together, often inter-
twining and forming a network OF
rootlets. The longer these plants
are allowed to grow in this way the
more cQnplex, difficult and harmful
becomes the process of removing the
superfuous plants. If this thinning
is put of too long it disturbs the posi-
tion of the plants which are to re-
main, breaks their tender rootlets,
and materially and permanently in
lures them. Every effort should be
made to accomplish this thinning as
quickly as possible. A little money
spent at this stage proves very good
investment in the after stages OF the
plant. A beet grower should prepare
himself beforehand, and be ready to
accomplish this work quickly and not
allow it to drag along. With the best
OF intentions and preparations, he is
liable to be more or less hampered by
rains and other difficulties, but he
should not fail to exert his best
efforts to get his crop thinned as soon
as possible after sufficiently maturcd
for this purpose.
The process is known in the COM
mon parlance OF the grower as "block-
ing and thinning" Blocking is &C.

Simply because Of slight difference
in bids, or In refusing one mans s2O6
bid for ground just to accept another's
5000. This latter proposition has
created no end of talk, and comments
are still plentiful. Why is Thatcher
money better than Peterson money Is
asked? Is it because Mr.. Hatch Is in
the council? Mr.. Hatch voted for the
acceptance of Mr.. Moses Thatcher
bid Of 800 in preference to Pcterson's
bid of s2O6. Would Mr.. Hatch
make that kind of distinction in
his banking business? DID the other
Democrats and the Republicans who
voted for the Thatcher bid In perfer-
ence to Mr. Peterson's bid do 1t as a
compliment to Mr.. Hatch or Thatch-
er? Peterson has lived here 20 years,
and possibly the council didn't know
him, yet would it not have been better
to have accepted his bid on condition
that he would make proper terms?
Talk about chickens backbone, or a
somersault. Within few days a
councilman voted for the acceptance
of the lowest bid on the sidewalks,
and the contract went to a foreigner,
yet in bids for grounds the city desir
ed to lease, it wasn't necessary to
secure the highest bid. That's rich,
that is. If this may be attributed to
the three BIS, well and good, but it's
bad business for the three RS. These
things are not forgotten.

This interesting bit of local political
information comes from the Indian
apolis Star, recognized as close to
Indiana's junior Senator, and written
by Louis Ludlow, one OF the cleverest
of the army OF Washington correspond
cnt; Senator Beveridge has declined
to serve on the subcommittee of the
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections that Is TO go to Salt Lake
City TO take evidence in the Reed
Smoot case. The reason he has given
is that it is proposed that the sub
committee shall meet at time when
he always takes his annual vacation.
Senator Beverage has been petitioned
10y thousands of Indiana women to use
his influence TO have Reed Smoot
ousted from the Senate, but inasmuch
as Smoot is not polygamist, Mr.,
Beveridge regards the question of law
and fact as altogether in his favor,
and he Is not inclined TO act on senti-
ment. There is not single Re-
publican member of the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections,
except Chairman Burrows, who is will
ing TO serve on the subcommittee.
Most of them give as an excuse that
Senator Dubois Of Idaho is engineer
ing the Smoot investigation in order
TO get a rival removed from the Senate,
and they say they are unwilling to
play in with his political game. Under
these circumstances there is not the
faintest prospect that Smoot will lose
his seat"

The REPUBLICAN has heard a num-
Der of complaints in regard to such
deprcdations recently, and in two in
stances was urged to "skin" somebody.
THE REPUBLICAN has a particularly
long butcher knife well-sharpened for
use on persons who are guilty of just
such conduct as the stealing of flow

that the person or persons guilty In
either of these instances are not at
hand so that we might use the knife.
However on second thought, the per-
son who will do such trick as steal
flowers is small enough to turn sum-
ersault In an electric light globe and
his skin would be impervious to
lightning. His cheek could hardly be
less than adamant and his nervous
system something like an oysters.
