Investigate the Matter.

Committee to 70 10 Garden City to
Investigate the Matter.
The sugar beet meeting which was 70
have been hsld on last Saturday was .
failure In large part on account OF the
absence Of Mr.. Every the sugar factory
representative who should have been here
to explain the workings and proilt OF beet
culture. Mr.. Every arrived In town too
late for an afternoon meeting but met
with number Of citizens In the evening.
At that meeting committee composed
OF Msssrs Geo. M. Hoover, Victor Carson
Geo. Relghard and H. B. Bell was selsct-
ed to visit the sugar beet farms up the
river, and report upon the experience Of
those who have been engaged In the
business.
The establishment OF pumping plants,
cantaloupe and sugar beet farms In the
Arkansas Valley In the Rocky Ford dis
trict has made that part of the country
famous, and the land is worth an enorm-
GUS price. The same thing would pro-
badly work great change here, and this
district would have the additional advan-
tage Of being great wheat country as
well
The committee appointed Is good ons
and after investigating the business the
members will be able to explain 1t fully
so tbas the farmers here will know
whether or not they want to try beet
raising.

rwEEDLEDEE AND TwEEDLE'
DUN

The suggestion has been made that
Il we are to have 3 convention let 1t be
one composed Of the city councils OF
skagway, Juneau, Douglas, Treadwell'
Wrangell and Ketehlksn. That is ali
right. That would be a convention
worth while. So would any represen-
tative convention
A municipal convention would not
directly represent dve-sixths OF the
people Of Southeastern Alaska, as
claimed, but it would represent them
indirectly. It would shut out many
large communities and wide sections OF
country, but the controlling sentiment
in the six incorporated towns OF this
section Of Alaska is that Of the whole
district While the city couneilmen
were not elected with any reference to
their ideas on territorial matters we
have no doub. but that they would cor
rectly represent their constituencies.
Such a convention would be even
more representative Of the district and
of more value to it were it to contain
the members Of the city councils Of
Eagle, Fairbanks, Cinema, Nome and
Valdez. II a convention could be held
on Alaskan soil with the II legislators
Of the municipalities Of the district
as the members Of the convention
there Is none but that should favor it.
Circle, Rampant, Council, Solomon,
Seward, Sitks, Haines and other large
communities and dozens Of important
smaller ones would be unrepresented,
it is true, but the convention would
come as nearly representing the dis
trict Is would be possible without the
ballot were in the hands Of the people.
However, the people Of Council City
and Nome have taken action on anoth-
err line that IS also satisfactory. They
have called a convention which can be
made representative Of Alaska whether
it be held in Alaska, where it should
be held, or whether it be held in Seat
tie. There is no reason to doubt for q
minute that this convention, II the rep
resentatives TO it shall be selected in
the manner provided in the call issued
from Nome, will take q stand on all
questions pertaining to the district
identical to one that would be taken by
q municipal convention. Therefore
there is no good reason why the Nome
called convention should be turned
down
The difference between a municipal
convention and q representative con-
vention is that between tweedledee and
tweedledum. The only difference is
that tweedledum hiss the right of way
because q representation convention
has betn called and the first steps have
been taken
