MONTANA TO MAKE SUGAR.
Two Factorics Now Contemplated for
That State.

Billings has beet sugar factory un.
der way and now word comes that
Hamilton has ambitions in that direc.
ton, with fairly good prospects of OBJ
tanning a sugar making plant. says the
Rocky Mountain Husbandman.
There should be room for two such
factories i'm this state and the location
of one In eastern and the other in
western Montana would give each d
market of its own.
The making of beet sugar has be-
come great and profitable industry
In many of the western states and
there is no reason why it cannot be in
Montana If liberal rates for distribu
tion are secured from the railways.
1t is understood that the trust will
have controlling interest In the Bill
ings factory which will prove an ad-
vantage as it will eliminate All the
chances Of an industrial fight. which
would be certain to occur if the plaut
were owned entirely by local capi,al-
lists.
There is said to he only one beet
sugar factory in the United states that
the trust does not control, and tina, IS
large plant in California which Is
owned by a Montana citizen who can
afford to go II alone and compete with
the combine.

ANNUAL SCHOOL FUND APPORT|ONMENT

County School Superintendent Frank
X. Welles today announced the annu-
al apportionment of money from the
county school fund to the various dis
tricts. The total of the county APP
portionment is s971S.34, while that
from the state fund this year is $1e,-
S66.40. The county apportionment
this year is rather small, and would
have been larger If the $1l, 900 which
was recently paid to the treasurer by
Sheriff Taylor and ex-Sheriff Blakley,
had been segregated into the different
funds so that the school money would
be available. However, that money
has not yet been divided into the diff
ferent funds by the experts, and con-
sequently is not available.
The apportionment should have been
made last Monday, but Superintendent
Welles waited all week In hopes OF
the segregation being made, but fl
nally learned such would not be done
for some time yet. and so he decided
to make the apportionment without
Il.
Should the o. r. & N. company pay
its back taxes, a large sum of money
will thereby become available for the

RIGHT OF WAY is CLEAR.
Northern Pacific Turned Smooth
Trick on North Bank Route

Walla Walla, Oct. 7.-(Special.) y
1t has just developed that the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern rail-
roads, through their organization
called the Portland & Seattle Railway
company, recently secured every foot
of vacant land along the proposed
route down the north bank of the Co
lumbia river through scrip selections
filed in the United States land office
at Walla Walla and Vancouver. and it
Is only as a matter of precaution that
the company was now or has in the
past filed their plats of right of way
in the local land offices.
When the script selections were
filed over a month ago, there was not
left foot of vacant government land
along the north bank of the river and
it is useless for the company or any
other to go ahead and file their plats
as required over government land, be-
cause there is no government land left
for the proposed road to traverse.
II is now all in the hands of set
tiers or the Northern Pacific railroad.
for 1t is understood that it was North
ern Pacific scrip or lieu selections that
were used in getting control of the
land.

BErrER BREAD FOR THE ARMY
Improved Methods I'm Its Making Arc
Introduced.

Washington. Oct THE war de-
partment has reached an important
decision which will, to some extent
revolutionlSe the culinary department
of the service. II has been decided to
introduce machinery for making bread
instead Of having the bread made by
the slow and unsatisfactory hand
method The navy has found It ad-
vantageous to have such a system, and
vessels are being equipped as rapidly
as possible with type of bread knead-
all demands upon 1t.
This conclusion In favor of mechan-
ical bread making has been reached
after practical test of the methods
on board the United States ship Mis-
souri, for period of six months Army
officers have been making an investi-
cation of systems at Fort Riley, where
there are schools for cooks and bakers
and at West Point, where the facilities
exist for carrying on competitive tests
of the machinery. A certain type Of
machine has been recommended by
commissary officers who have given
special attention to the subject, and IL
is believed that the adoption OF this
machine throughout the army, togeth-
er with the sending out of army
cooks and bakers, will have a favora-
BILE effect upon the enlisted men by
furnishing them with food properly
prepared. There have been many
complaints concerning the quality of
the bread and these have finally in
duced the war department to make a
change In the system.

Idaho will be forced by public SEN
timent to raise railroad assessments
from $40, 900, 900 to at least $50, ,0O0,-
900, if an agitation now being started
is carried before the state board OF
equalization.
Ex-Governor w. ]. Mcconnell of
Idaho, who stopped over last night in
Pendleton on his way to the north
part of the state is now preparing a
writ of review of the railroad assess
ment of the state of Idaho, to present
to the state board of equalization,
asking for a raise in the valuations or
railroad property in Idaho.
The movement is backed by strong
public sentiment and will be carried to
the board of equalization with COM
plete writ of review of assessment
showing the excessively low values
placed upon all kinds of railroad
property, and asking that the values
be raised to be in proportion with
other classes of property.
1t is estimated from statistics on file
with the interstate commerce commits
sion that the railroads of Idaho are
worth $50, ,00O, 900. on a fair valuation.
The assessed value of all railroad
property in Idaho is but $4,000. .9oo.
The object of the agitation NilI be
to raise the assessment to about $780,
OOO 900 or one-third of the cash value
Of the property, thus adding S20,oOo,-
600 to the states assessment.
Mr.. Mcconnell met Assessor c. P.
Strain. of this county this morning,
and secured data and information con-
cerning the assessment of railroad
property in this county, and manifest
ed great interest in the efforts to raise
the values to something near an equit-
able basis.
The low valuation of railroads in
Idaho is due to lack of interest in the
subject by the people, and failure
of assessors to study the subject. By
bringing statistics and government
records before the board of equaliza-
ton. showing the actual values and
capitalization, earning capacity and
other undisputed facts, the people
hope to create an interest in this sub
ject and thus secure a reduction in
the tax levies by adding unassessed
property to the lists,

ticnment will be made by The super
intendent.
mo money has been apportioned
for districts Nos. 30 and 1O7," said
Superintendent Welles, because their
reports did not reach me in time, and
they thereby forfeited their right to
the money.
Also, district No. 80 will receive no
money, although it is entitled to
S69.20, because that district has been
charged with s116.13 which was re-
tanned from last years apportionment
over and above the $50 which districts
are allowed by law to keep out of
the common school fund.
I'm the distribution of the county
funds $50 is given to each district.
and an additional IS is given each
district that has employed a teacher
who has attended an institute during
the year. The remainder of the coun-
ty fund Is then apportioned among
the various districts per capita, the
same as is done with the state fund"
The amount of the county money
given to district l6, Pendleton, is
s1430.20, while the amount from the
state apportionment was $3036.20.

The United States government is
quite likely to take an active interest
In the coming city election in Pendle-
ton.
About so saloon men, bartenders
and gamblers who have homesteads,
and who registered in outside precincts
in the last county election, have also
registered in the city to vote at the
city election this year.
A special inspector of the land Of
flee will investigate the matter, IL is
said. and IL will be necessary for these
voters to decide where their rightful
home Is located.
Since the registration is complete,
check of the registration books reveals
the fact that nearly every saloon man,
bartender and gambler of this city.
who has filed on homestead in the
county and who registered in outside
precincts at the last county election,
has registered to vote in Pendleton.
The matter has been placed before
the Ia Grande land office and an in

thought that an investigation of the

question in this county on large
scale and may perhaps be the cause OF
special investigation in all the east
