The progress that has been made

MlSSOULlANS WORKING HARD TO
SECURE BEET SUGAR FACTORY
COMPANY MUST BE ASSURED OF BETS
And Sc ed is Being Distributed and
Contracts Made-drower Obiigat-
ed for Period of Five Years.

The Western News is in receipt of a
small amount of sugar beet seed for
warded by the Bozeman Agricultural
college upon request of the Missoula
Chamber of Commerce. These seeds
are for free distribution TO farmers
who are interested in the beet industry
and will cultivate them properly for
experimental purposes.
Accompanying the seeds are blank
forms of contra act, which will be en-
tered into by the factory and the beet
grower whereby the farmer is obligat-
ed to cultivate a certain acreage for a
period of FIVE years and deliver his
product at the factory or the nearest
railway depot and for which he shall
receive SIS per ton.
Together with this contract the
farmers are furnished with some very
interesting data regarding the culture
of the sugar beet in Montana. A few
paragraphs of this information read
as follows:
"The arid and semi-arid lands of the
West are peculiarly we'll adapted to
the growing of sugar beets; they have
but little rainfall; the land is irrigated,
and the long, continuous bright sun
and uniform weather insures a rich
percentage of sugar in the beet.
1.-The amount of sugar depends upon
Climate, not soil. Sugar comes from
the air, none of it from the earth. The
laboratory in which IT is gathered is
the leaf and the active agent is the
suns rays, unobstructed by cloud or
fogs. Other things being equal, sugar
IN beets is in proportion to sunshine,
The Western news. [volume] (Stevensville, Mont.) 1890-1977, 1905-05-10

and sunshine is, of course, in proper
ton to aridity. The crop is never in
jured by rain or drouths, and can al
ways be harvested at the proper time,
thus preventing decay, sprouting and
other injurious action.
"The beet sugar industry in Michi'
gan and other Middle West states has
deem uniformly profitable and Of large
benefit to farmer and manufacturer
and also to the country at large, since
it is producing that which we would
otherwise import. But it is noticeable
that the large companies are now build
ing new factories only in arid and
semiarid regions. Utah has seven al
ready, California eight and Colorado
nine. Think of the rough, mountain
GUS, mining, arid state of Colorado
with uine great beet sugar factories
aud actually exporting sugar as we'll
as gold.
"Extensive experiments made last
year with the growing of sugar beets
in the river valleys of Montana have
demonstrated that beets grown in
Montana are of better quality than in
Colorado and Utah. The percentage
of sugar runs from IA 6-1O per cent. up
to 19 7-1O per cent; a few exceptional
ly good samples as high as 22 per cent.
THE yield per acre runs ali the way
from 20 to 80 tons per acre. This
shows without any doubt that the
river valleys of Montana are we'll
adapted for the growing of sugar
beets.
''The best sugar men of the rain
belt have been astonished since 1901
at the wonderful reports on the beet
sugar industry in Colorado. They
knew already that sugar beets have
been successfully raised on irrigated
lands, for instance in Utah since 1891,
but they never heard of crops of 20 to
40 tons of beets per acre raised in the
first season, nor of campaigns of 90, 900
and even 100, 900 tons of beets showing
AL average percentage of sugar of II
per cent.
Where irrigation is practiced the
fa1 mer has an opportunity to control
the growth of the beet and the develop
ment of it's sugar to much greater de-
gree than is possible in the humid
secti ions.
"In general, the rules of irrigation
as applied to other crops, may be sue
cessfully used with sugar beets. 1t
would be we'll, however, in order to
the beets, to withhold the application

AGENT TAYLOR
SCENTS CRIME
Z. S. Secret Service Man
Gets Warrants of Arrest
for Alleged Perjurers

United States Local Inspector o. F.
Bolles of this city and United States
Secret Service Agent r. H. Taylor from
District Attorney Devlin yesterday
afternoon with a list of licenses for
masters, pilots and mates issued by the
inspectors during the last five years
to persons who, they believed. had been
naturalized by fraudulent means.
They asked the District Attorney to
draft complaints against several per-
sons suspected of having been con-
cerned in the frauds. The story as told
to Mr.. Devlin by Agent Taylor is to
the effect that the Masters and Pilots
Association of this city had complained
to the authorities at Washington that
for many years certain persons, some
of them in the service of the Board of
Harbor Commissioners, had made a
business of appearing as witnesses in
the State courts for aliens not entitled
to be raturalized. The purpose of this
perjury, Mr.. Taylor explained was to
enable the aliens to become eligible to
receive licenses as masters mates and
pilots on ocean and coastwise vessels
Mr.. Taylor Informed Mr.. Devlin also
that sufficient evidence had been
brought before the authorities at
Washing gton to warrant the belief that
the story was true and that frauds of
the most extensive character in that
line had been perpetrated against the
Federal statutes by means of the ma
chinery Of the State courts
Mr. Taylor added that he had been
examining the records in the office Of
the County Clerk at the City Hall for
about ten days and had prepared a list
OF seafaring men and their witnesses
concerned in the frauds. These records
were compared with the records in the
Office of the United States Local In
spectors and he had found that In some
cases aliens Immediately after having
been naturalized had received licenses
from the local inspectors to pursue
their vocation at sea. He had been de-
tailed by the Attorney General, he said.
to go to the bottom Of the matter and
bring tile guilty persons to justice. Mr..
Devlin expressed his willingness to do
all in his power to punish the guilty
provided sufficient evidence should be
laid before him to warrant a reasonable
hope of conviction.
At late hour yesterday compIaints
were drawn and warrants issued for
the arrest of three persons, one of whom
is believed to be Frank Johnson, a janitor
in the employ of the Harbor Commits
sioners; another man whose name ap-
pears frequently upon the records Of
the County Clerk as witness in such
cases and mate who had not been in
the United States more than year and
a half before he received his license to
sail the seas as an American tar
