MONTANA BEET SUGAR FACTORIES.

1t IL noticed that a number of Mon
tana towns appear to believe that this
state cannot have too much of q good
thing, particularly If that good thing
happens also to be a sweet thing, says
the Butte Miner. 1t seems to be a set
tied fact that Billings is to have a beet
sugar factory, and now Bozeman Is
reported to be of the opinion that it
needs q little NOR sweetening in its
agricultural life, and Is talking very
seriously OF going into the sugar bust.
ness.
Hamilton, in the Bitter Root valley,
has had the matter OF putting In a fac
tory under consideration for some
time, and Kalispeil is reported to have
sugar OF the brain.
The Miner does not believe that
there will be four sugar manufactur.
ing plants established in Montana
right away, but it is rather of the
opinion that outside of the q that
has been settled upon for Billings,
that the other factories are rather up
in the air, and that the promoters of
these enterprises r trying to play
some of the towns in this state against
each other.
1t Is noticed, for instance, that the
town down the Bitter Root baked on
the terms demanded by the gentleman
who was working up sentiment for q
factory there, and he very promptly
gave it out that if Hamilton did not
want to go to making sugar, he was
pretty sure that Kalispell did.
That there is o field for one or two
beet sugar factories in this state seems
evident, and that the installing Of
these plants will not be overdone also
appears to be pretty certain, for the
reason that it is understood that the
trust own a ha~lf-interest in every fac.
tory in the United States except one,
so that 1t Is not likely that too many
plants are going to be built.
Farmers In other states have found
that there is good money in growing
beets to be made into sugar, but it
should not be forgotten that the Mon
tana agriculturist gets exceptional re-
turns from all the crops that he grows,
and that as a rule he does not take
kindly to growing anything that re-
quires extraordinary attention.
Those who have had experience in
raising beets testify that there are
many crops that are easier TO grow
and to harvest. The beet lakes q good
deal more cultivation than wheat, bar
ley or oats, and when it comes to har-
vesting, 1t should not be forgotten that
it is a pretty heavy product, and the
question OF hauling is q serious item.
AS q matter of precaution it would
would seem to be a good plan to let
one town get its beet sugar factory
under way before a number of COM
munities try to get into the business.

Peculiar status of British Steamer sf
 Manila.

Washington. March 6-Upon the ad- vice of the Department of State, secre- tary Taft has cabled to Governor Gen. eral Wright at Manila permission for the British steamer Carlisle to remain in Manila harbor until she has made necessary repairs to her machinery. Therefore the. United States govern ment itself Irresponsible for the safe- ty of the ship.
 The status of this steamship is DC. culiar and in adopting this attitude In answer to the appeal of the shfpss cap- tain, the State Department has added another and new construction of inter- national law relative to rights of bel- ligeretn ships in neutral harbors to the several cases developed by this war. The Carlisle is a British ship and consequently of neutral owner ship. but she was chartered by the Russian government and loaded with arms. ammunition and food supplies for the Russian garrison at Port Ar~ thur.
 She sailed from vIadivostok Noveul- Der 20 last year for Port Arthur. The Japanese blockade aruud the fort ress was effective and the Carlisle was in the unpleasant position of being un- able to make landing there at the same time could not return to vladi- vostok. There was no other Russian harbor in that quarter of the world so that all that could be done by the captain of the Carlisle was to Turk around outside the blockade lines awaiting a chance to slip through
 But while he was 300 miles from Yokohoma, the Carlisle lost her pro- peller and lay helpless for many daysL Finally sail was made on her and the snip was worked into the harbor Of San Miguelon on the cast coast 0x Tuscon.
 The captain and the supercargo. the latter a Russian. came to Manila ana sought protection for their ship. The State Department was consulted by ca- bIe and recommended granting the re- quest. so the Carlisle was towed to Manila. The point of interest is what shall be done with the ship when her repairs are completed. but it Is prob- able that as Japanese war ships are reported to be lying in wait for her outside Manila harpor. she will bs permitted to intern on the same condi- tions as were imposed in the case of the Lena at San Francisco.

BOYS ARE IN TROUBLE
THREE ARRESTED ON SUSPICION
 OF HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Youthful Bandits Have Been Holding Up Many, White and Black, in Birmingham Vicinity
 of Late.

Birmingham. March 6.-(Special.)- The city detectives have arrested three boys. all under 20 years of age, giv- ing their names as Lawson Sims, Cleve- land MeCulley and Dickey Greaves. on suspicion of being highway robbers.
 For the past week or so reports have been turned in to the police depart ment of youthful highway robbers. Both whites and negroes have been held up by the youthful robbers.
 The descriptions given by the vic- tims were all alike.
 The three boys arrested deny the ac- cusations. All three are we'll known to the police, one of them being out on probation. A few weeks ago three young men were arrested on a similar charge and two or them made a confess sion. Considerable was printed in the newspapers about the arrest of the young men and it Is believed that other boys read of their doings and followed the example.
 The officers are working up evidence against the boys, two of whom are still wearing short trousers.

Selma, March b.
 After a trial consuming three days sessions of the police court, Mlke Johee was this morning bound over 10 await the action of the grand jury unoer RI OOO bond for assault with intent 10 murder John Trikulis. and his brother, John Jones, charged in the warrant TOT assault with a weapon, fned $Ioo or ninety days on the streets:
 Roth John Jones and Mike Jones were reouiered to furnish peace bonds in the sum of $1.oO0. John Jones paid his fine and the three bonds were maoe. John Jones is now under indictment TOT assault with intent to murder ana ms case will come up for trial the next term of the Circuit Court. having been continued during this term of the City Court. Both are well known young men and are in business in this city.
 The cases against John Trikulis and Frank Wynne, charging assault with a weapon were dismissed, the court holding that Trikulis was in the per- formanoe of his duty and was defend- ing his life in the first case ana Tn the second that there was not suhicient evidence to convict wynne. John Freeman, whose case charging disor- derly conduct was taken up at the time and in connection with the others, was found guilty and fined $25. Freeman Is a printer.
 Evidence Reviewed.
 Rehearing the evidence and the fn- troduction of evidence from new wit nesses consumed nearly three hours this morning. The case was called and most of the evidence taken Friday morning, but on account of the absence of John Jones and John Freeman, two material witnesses and who were afterwards charged with complicity in the affair it was postponed. The next day. Saturday, Freeman was in court but Jones had left the city. Again to air Freemans case the evidence was gone over with one or two new Wit nesses, but the court withheld it's de- cision until Jones could be brought to court.
 The assault on Trikulis occurred last Thursday night in Rosnedorf's saloon. Washington and Alabama Streets. where Trikulis is a lunch tender. Statements widely differ, but according to Trikulis. whose story was to great extent sustained in court, a short time after he had elected John Jones, John Freeman and Frank Wynne from the saloon Mike Jones entered the barroom followed shortly by John Jones, who said There Is the -" and commence ed shooting. Trikulis said Frank wynne and Mike Jones opened fire on him and he returned the fire. There was no other evidence to show that John Jones and Frank Wynne shot, but Trikulis contends that there are more than ten bullet holes in the walls In the saloon. which indicates that more than two men did the shooting. Neither of the participants were wounded. but two coats were grazed.
