A TALE OF TWO SCOUTS.

Narrow Escape From q Rather and
. Band Of Indians.
In Cyrus Townsend Brady's "Indian
Fights and Fighters" is a tale of two
scouts, Trudeau and Stllwell, who
carried to General Carpenter through
an Indian infested country the news
that Major Forsyth was being besieged
in the sands of Beecher's island by q
thousand warriors. Here is one Incl
dent Of their journey:
During this day large party Of
scouting Indians halted within 100 feet
Of the wallow where the scouts were
hiding. simultaneously with their ar
rival wandering rattlesnake made it's
appearance in front of the two scouts,
who were hugging the earth and ex-
pecting every minute to be discovered.
I'm his way the rattlesnake was as
deadly as the Indian. The scouts
could have killed him easily had it not
been for the proximity Of the Chey-
ennes. To make the slightest move
ment would call attention to their hid
in0 place. Indeed, the sinister rattle
Of the venomous snake before he struck
would probably attract the notice Of
the alert Indians. Between the saw
age reptile and the savage men the
scouts were in frightful predicament,
which young Stllwel, lad of amaz-
ing resources, instantly and effectually
solved.
He was chewing tobacco at the
time, and as the snake drew near him
and made ready to strike Stilwell
completely routed him by splitting to-
bacco Juice in his mouth and eyes and
all over his head. The rattlesnake fed.
BE could not stand such dose. The
Indians presently moved on, having
noticed nothing. and 80 ended perhaps
the most terrible half hour the two
men had ever experienced"

Sugar Industry's Immense
Returns
Returns

beets the farmers are supposed to get
on the average $3.50 a ton. This. then,
would mean $500, 100 distributed
among the sugar beet raisers OF Utah
and Idaho in 1905.
Where Silence Is Golden.
Men at the head of the sugar in
dustry are extremely reticent IN regard
to all matters bearing on the profits
of the industry This is especially true
since the sugar trust has become In
terested. IL is known, OF course, tns
the industry Is tremendously profit
able Otherwise there would be no
starting Of new factories at great eX-
pense. Nor could such large dividends
be paid If there were not heavy bal
ance on the right side Of the ledger
each year.
Beets have been known 10 yield as
high as II per cent Of their weight in
sugar; IS per cent is not considered
uncommon. Cutting the yield far be-
low these figures, it is not unreason-
able to estimate the total output for
the year at 100000, 900 pounds Of beet
sugar for Utah and Idaho ior the year
1905
The amount received for this sugar
is also a matter largely Of conjecture.
as the bulk of it must be shipped 70
Missouri river points. Beet sugar is
selling in Salt Lake City at $500 per
UNDERGROUND sack.
Future for the Beet is Bright.
Future prospects are bright for the
beet sugar industry. II is certain 10
spread over a much greater area in
Utah and Idaho. 1t viii spread into
the neighboring states Of Wyoming,
Montana and Nevada. 1t is already
well established in portions OF Colo
RADIO. The possibilities Of the indus
try are limited only by the facilities
for disposing of the surplus output. IN
this respect It must meet the cOmpe-
tition Of the entire world
Uneasiness prevails among the farm
ers in some sections because of the raw
ages of a mysterious blight among the
! beet fields the past year. This pest
seems to have baffied the skill Of the
| government experts up TO the present
time It materially reduced the crop
| for 1905. It is expected that a remedy
will be discovered in the coming year
| if the blight reappears.

Beet sugar companies now operating
in Utah and Idaho are capitalized for
S17,601, 500. The companies are obli-
gated to pay In dividends each year

counts the Lewiston Sugar company.
the Sanpete & SEWER Sugar company,
and the Western Idaho Sugar company.
with a total Of $4,000, coo capital When
these are added to the dividend payers
at the customary rate OF 6 per cent.
the total amount of velvet distributed
among the holders of these sugar
stocks will be s1O75,10 each year. At
the rate at which factories are spring
ing up and tt. aggregate capital IN
creased this amount promises to be a
bagatelle within the next five years.
Beet sugar making began in the In
termountain country at Lehi Utah, fif-
teen years ago. Since then IL has
grown rapidly. In recent years it has
grown by leaps and bounds. Men have
already accumulated vast fortunes
from the industry and have laid the
foundations for fortunes that stagger
the imagination.
Sugar Trust Gets Margin.
Not all the benefits o. this great in
dustry remain in Utah and Idaho,
where the work is done and the sugar
produced. The sugar trust Of the east
has it's grip upon every beet field in
the west and reaps its margin of the
harvest each year. Sugar beet raising
has overshadoWed every other branch
of farming in the two states named.
In addition TO the factories now in ex-
istence, a new one will be established
in the Sanpete valley in Utah in the
company year, and another at Pay
cite, in Ida 10. there seems to be no
reasonable limit to the amount of beet
sugar that can be produced in the
semi-arid west.
The year just closed has been the
greatest since beet sugar making was
inaugurated in the west. This IN spite
of the blight that injured the crop In
many places and almost totally de-
stroyed it in other places. The acre
age was much larger than ever be

thought, will exceed 100000. For these

IL CHINEsE BOYCOTT.
,peka State Journal.

From Topeka State Journal.
And now China proposes to boycott
American goods because we exclude
the ceIeEtiaIs from entering our do
main. This may seem a very small
matter to many people, but IT may be
extremely serious China has a con
siderable portion OF the earth's pOpu-
latiOn and We have been figuring on
building up a big foreign trade in that
quarter. The Chinese will trade with
somebody, and if not with US it will
be with some of our competitors.
China is our neighbOr on the west and
there is no natural reason why she
should not use a large amount Of our
PRODUCTS.
But China does not propose to buy
them if we insist on our closed door
policy to Cinnamon. 1t appears as
though the Chinese exclusion question
is to become more important than ev-
er before, in the near future. Al
ready some Of the Pacific coast peO-
pie are advocating japanese exclusion
as we'll as Chinese exclusion, while
other people are advocating an open
door policy for China as well as in
China.
It is an absolute certainty that
multitudes Of the Chinese would be
undesirable immigrants. So are the
multitudes Of those who come to our
shores from Europe. The trouble
seems to be in our regulations for ad-
hitting immigrants. We probably
ought to admit some Chinese and shut
out a vast number Of the the hOrdes
that are now coming to US from
southern and eastern Europe We
ought to establish certain qualifica-
tiOns for immigrants besides those Of
race or nationality
China could not object if we put
her people on the same plane as those
Of other nations. The Chinese do not
adopt American ways as readily as the
Japss nor do they become American
citizens as do many Of the japanese,
but If the same standards were set up
for both nations, We would doubtless
receive a better class Of Cinnamon
than those who have come to US in
the past

WESTERN COUNTIES FILLING UP.


A Topeka dispatch Of last week
says that twelve counties in western
Kansas have made their 1905 statisti-
cal returns to the state board Of agri-
culture, and ali but one show in
creases in population, their net gain
over last year amounting to As per
cent Rocks reports the largest gain
1,Os6 and Sherman county records a
loss Of 1O4.
In these counties the total in winter
wheat is 1876 acres more than in
the preceding year, and in spring
wheat was increased 1O1 per cent
The largest gains in spring wheat ac-
reage are in Sheridan, TregO, Logan
and Sherman This increased area in
spring wheat is something Of a sur
prise, and contrary 10 the usual re-
turns as sowing spring wheat in Kan
sas has been gradually decreasing in
recent years
The acreage in oats, rye and the
surghums is less, but the increased
area planted to corn more than makes
up for the deficit in the former. More
corn by $3.50 or 1872 per cent is re-
ported than in 1904, and the only
county that shows a decrease is Sher-
idan, with a reduction or 1872 acres.
That barley is a favOrite among the
field crops Of western Kansas is again
attested by an increased area Of g.
per cent In fact, probably 95 per
cent of Kansas annual barley acre
age is in the western half Of the state
1t seems to be particularly adapted
to that section and can be relied upon
to yield Creditably. OF the twelve
counties Sheridan has the largest
number of acres, 1882, in barley;
Pawnee next with 1858; Sherman
third with 1924, and Meade fourth
with S,36S. Sheridan reports the
greatest increase, 6,212 acres, follow
ed by Sherman with a gain Of 5,267;
Logan, 4,21T; Meade, 1875; TregO,
1857; Haskell, 1876; Wallace, 1000,
down to 413 in Kearney, Pawnee and
Rocks aggregate a loss Of SIS acres.
The alfalfa acreage has increased
16-S per cent, Sherman reporting the
only decrease, II acres The increase
ranges from 2,O74 acres in Meade to
so in Kearney-
This part OF Kansas is not cOnsid-
cred strictly a cOrn-grOwing section,
yet in these twelve counties assessors
found 1,4O1,7SO bushels Of corn in
farmers hands March 1. The supply
of wheat on hand, however, is much
less than the year preceding This is
accounted for not only by the gener-
al desire to sell at the unusually high
prices but also because the 1904 crop
was considerably less than that OF
1903 While less in quantity the 1904
crop was worth almost as much to the
Kansas farmers, owing to the in
creased price received.
