The play is certain to be a great sue
cess. Those who have heard the re-
hersals speak of it as being full of side
splitting sayings and incidents, 1t has
in addition to all the mrth producing
elements a literary finish of the highest
order. A glance at the cast OF charac-
tiers will convince those who know these
ladies that treat is in store for the
public.
Many of the ladies who will take
part in this production are well known
on the local stage and have been kindly
received by their audiences.
Apart from the pleasure the audience
will receive from this production is the
duty the public owes itself to patronize
and encourage home talent. The ladies'
are working hard to give Fort Pierce
and vicinity something of value to the
general public. This they are doing at
much personal expense and with in
finite patience.

FALSE STATEMENT

Hon. c. +. Olmstead returned the
first of the week from a visit to the
State Fair at Tampa, and was the only
delegate from st. Lucie county at the
banquet given to the newspaper men
and legislators. While at the banquet
Mr.. Olmstead met Senator Massey, OF
Orange county, who lent valuable help
in securing the passage of the bill crrea-
ting st. Lucie county before the last
legislature, and was informed by that
gentleman that he had been told by II
certain party that the people OF st: lu,
Gle county were very much dissatisfied
with the division and would like to re-
turn to the old order Of things.
This Mr.. Olmstead rightly DENIED,
and told Mr. Massey that some few had
opposed the division when It was con-
tempated, and that portion OF them
had not yet become rcconclled 10 'he

of our people were delighted with tht

How the Farmers Of One Section
Built a Railroad.

In a recent number of Worlds
Work appeared an interesting
article giving an account of how
the farmers of Ramsey county, N.
D., built railroad without the aid
of outside or borrowed capital.
These farmers hauled their grain
often a distance of twenty-five
miles-to Devils Lake, the county
seat, through which the Great
Northern railway passed. 1t kept
the farmers hauling grain all
winter. They asked James ].
Hill president of the Great North
ern railway, to build branch line
from Devils Lake up through
their section. Mr.. Hill said he
could not build. Six of the largest
farmers met at a school house.
One of them was Joseph Kelley,
who owned 600 acres of land, and
who hauled his wheat fifteen miles
to Devils Lake. Mr.. Kelly said,
"If the Great Northern won't
build, we will build" And the
farmers built railroad twenty
FIVE miles long.
They asked every farmer who
hauled grain to Devils Lake to
subscribe. Some subscribed $25;
others $500. They raised $4,000.
They sent a farmer to Duluth to
buy ties, another to St. Paul to
buy old rails. A land promoter
was building a small branch line
out of Devils Lake to the south
and they got him to survey the
road. They hired section hands
to lay the track. But they needed
more money. They bought land
along the line and laid out three
towns, sold the lots and used the
money to buy an old engine, a
dav coach and four box cars from
the Great Northern.
Then the road was started. II

will stop for any farmer at any
place. Last year, the road made
its expenses; it hauled 10000
bushels of wheat. This year, with
the railroad at hand, the farmers
planted more wheat and the road
will haul 100000 bushels.
II went to Starkweather, the
larges town laid out by the farm
ers on the road" said the writer
of the article, l. F. Marcossan.
Two years ago the site was a fax
field. / found it a business place,
with thirty stores and houses, 400
people, a school house that cost
$1o,ooo three elevators with a
capacity of 100000 bushels, three
banks, newspaper and church.
At the two other towns, which a
year ago were farm lots, l found
grain elevators, schools and stores. F"
Here is what these farmers have
done when they built their rail
road; established three towns, in
creased the price of land along
the way IS per cent, increased
their yield of wheat, built schools
established telephones. They
made a whole community richer
and independent.

paid being $I43,o3S.3I. The num-
Der of carloads received was I,4I4,
the freight paid being $22,II7.I7.
Of the counties raising beets,
lie Sueur led with 3S4 carloads,
the gross tonnage being o,o36; the
amount paid for the beets, $4I,I76,
and the freight, $5,657.53. Grant,
S. D., sent eight carloads, Pierce,
Wis, ten; St. Croix, Wis, thirteen
and Pepin, Wis, four. The num-
Der of Minnesota counties repre-
sented was twenty-four.
Sugar beet farming has become
an established feature in Mime
sofa agriculture. The beet is ex-
cellent to rotate with wheat, as it
replenishes the soil with the con-
stituents which wheat needs and
uses little of the soil food which
the grain takes. 1t also has a
direct effect on the dairy industry
of the State, as the tops and pulps
make a rich stock food. The ref
use syrup, one of the by-products,
is mixed with screenings, ETC., and
sells also as a livestock food.
Even during the few days, that
the temperature at was 20 degrees
below zero, about eight-fve or
ninety teams were standing con-
stantly in the yards waiting for
the Observation-Disclosures.

SUGAR BEETS.
Wonderful Growth Of the Industry
in Minnesota.

Eight and one-half million
pounds of sugar is the estimated
output of sugar at the Minnesota
Beet Sugar company mill, st. Louis
Park, for the season of 1904, The
crushing period, which usually
lasts about 100 days and ends Jan.
\, this year continued about
ten days longer, marking the sea-
son as the most successful in the
history of the new industry. The
per cent. of sugar in last years
beets averaged 1855, varying from
IA to 1875. The quality of the
sugar is Chemically pure" and
has been pronounced by New
York experts as the finest on the
market.
An effort was made last season
to centralize beet culture in the
most productive localities of the
State, and this year this policy
will be strictly adhered to, as it has
been found that beets grow best
in the sandy loan of the southern
and southwest parts of the State.
In the northest sections, where the
ground is more of gravel, results
are not so satisfactory.
Although the acreage for 1903
was about IS per cent. larger than
in 1904, the locations selected
were not so productive, and the
total tonnage in 1903 was about I S
per cent. less. The total acreage
for 1904 was 2,658 acres, most OF
the land being within 100 miles OF
the mill. There is no difficulty in
obtaining the acreage desired in
the best localities, the only con-
sideration being the distance, as
freight is heavy item.
The average tonnage in good To-
calities varies from fifteen to
twenty tons to the acre. The net
proceeds for the farmers, after de-
ducting freight, seed, machinery,
etc, vary from $40 to SIIo an acre,
in some instances being higher.
O. Z. Stromberg, Buffalo, on two
acres raised I26, 600 gross pounds,
realizing a net profit of $267.35.
N. H. Schreifels, Eden Valley, on
one acre realized $oI,S6. Leonard
Ess, Cheska, planted thirty acres
and received $I,SS6.4I. The net
tons received at the mill after
dockage were 32,I57, the amount

Graft In WASHINGTON

The Pcstotice Department, the De-
partment of the Interior and the Agri-
cultural Department have, in succession,
been under fire. The attack on the De-
partment of Agriculture has come
through the revelations of crookednesS
connected with the reports of the cotton
crGp. An officer of the Southern Cotton
Association recently charged that the re-
ports of the Department of Agriculture
always made the crop larger than the
final figures at the end of the crop sea-
son warranted. As experience showed
that the opposite WIS generally the case
this accusation attracted TO attention at
the outset. Usually the Department s
crop figures have been below rather than
above the mark. Thu. inquiry, however,
which waE started by these charges has
revealed crookedncss in the Department

All these revelations of irregularities,

there is more graft in the Government
today than i'll the past. The Govern
mrnt officials are more vigilunt in trac-

than they We're formerly. The press is
more active in detecting 1t and in point

Civil War on :; far bigger scale. The
Spanish War had a like tale to tel. For
years afterwards demoraiizing effects
on the public service are seen. We had
no right III the present day to expect
exemption from the operation of this
