RAPID GROWTH LOOKED FOR.
Indications are favorable, the report
states, to the further growth of this
pursuit both in irrigation and rain
fall districts. "The industry is PROV
ing to be a powerful aid to CONNER
cial, agricultural and industrial devel-
opment. 1t promotes irrigation, immi-
grafton, land settlement, the building
of railroads and trolley lines, the
making of other improvements, and
the upbuilding of various Industrial
enterprises. Such results can only be
appreciated by those who have visited
the factory districts in Colorado,
Utah and Idaho, or in other newly
settled and improved areas throughout
the West The beneficial effect of the
Industry Is also shown in the better
settled, more highly developed agri-
cultural districts of the East, where,
after beets have been given a proper
trial in competition with established
crops, they are demonstrating their
staying qualities and potency in in
dustrial development"
GROWS MORE THAN TT EATS.
One feature of this report is a series
of tables accompanied with outline
maps designed to show graphically the
magnitude of sugar production in that
part of the country lying west of the
Mississippi River. These indicate that
the estimated production of sugar
west of the Mississippi in 1906 will ex-
coed by $4,000 tons the amount Of
sugar consumed in the same area in
1900 (the latest year for which we
have reliable census figures). The
estimate of production for 1906 Is
made by assuming that all the beet
sugar factories, including 10 new
ones, win run at their full capacity for
campaigns of 100 days, and that the
cane sugar product for 1906 viii be the
same as that of last year"

This showing of the Department Of
Agriculture. while it makes a COM
paratiyely small inrOad upon the vast
consumption of sugar in the more
densely populated region east of the
Mississippi, yet indicates that the
young beet-sugar industry is making
substantial progress, and that con-
sidering the uncertainty of legislation
and the great cost of beet-sugar fac
tory investments, very satisfactory ad-
vances are being made in this new
American enterprise.

BLESSED WITH CHILDREN.

Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris had three
children, two daughters and a son.
The son, who bears his fathers name
Algernon, was for a time an officer in
the United States army and saw some
service in the Philippines, but his
health compelled the abandonment of
military career. During the past
few years he has Travelled extensively,
and some months ago was married to
a very beautiful young woman in
Paris. The eldest daughter, Vivian,
was married a year or two since, but
the younger daughter, Rosemary, the
beauty of the family, is still unmarried.
Some months since much discussion
was precipitated when it was rumored
that she was engaged to the son of
one of the Confederate generals who
fought against General Grant in the
campaigns of the Civil War
Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris is a
woman who has always been held In
high esteem by large circle of fem
mime friends. From her school days
she has seemed to inspire the regard
of members of her own sex, and some
idea of her popularity may be formed
from the fact that on the occasion of
her wedding she was attended by
eighteen bridesmaids, all gowned alike.
Mrs. Sartoris is several years younger
than her famous brother, Gen. Fred
ID. Grant, of the United States Army,
but her birthday was three years ear
lier than that of Jesse Grant, the
youngest member Of this famous fam
lily.

Machine of French Manufacture.
OF all the automobiles ever turned
out by French or other manufacturers,
the one lately made for Capt. Lars
Anderson, of Boston, seems to be en-
titled to the prize for originality. 1t
is huge machine fitted up for long
journeys and in point of speed equals
any of the present-day touring cars.
The Anderson car is fitted out with
reversible furniture. There is a COM
bination bed and bureau that is GER
tainly work of art, and then there
is a cook stove and dining table ar
rangement that can be hauled out at
moments notice. The whole ma
chine, in fact, is kind of miniature

for eating, sleeping, working or idling,
according to the fancy of the owner
or his guests.

Chicago, Aug. 30.-The new tariff on
eastern trunk lines from Buffalo to
New York is expected to deprive Chi
cago of it's only natural advantage
over other grain terminals of the mid
die west. Effective September l, the
rate on corn from Buffalo to New
York will be increased 1 cent to 8

of 31s cents and the insurance of
about quarter of cent a bushel, the
lake and rail rate from Chicago to
New York will be 1924 cents a hund-
red as against the Wabash all-rail rate
of II cents. Under the present tariff
the lake and rail rate from Chicago to
New York is 1O.5 cents and local grain
shippers have used this advantage to
offset to some extent the Glover Leafs

Representative Cattle Sales.
Below are given a few of the repre-
cattle sales:
Suckers and Feeders.

The general country demand has
been rather small and especially from
western and nearby sources. The cal!
from eastern buyers has been mainly
for the light grades and these have
been in smaller supply than usual.
Owners of the common light steers
evidently consider them better proper
ty to run on grass rather than sell at
this time. The general supply of me-
dunn to fairly good feeder steers was
liberal yesterday, but there was still
a scarcity of the good kinds, and order
buyers We're disappointed in not be-
ing able to get enough of the $3.50 ana
upward kinds.
Only few lots of rangers We're sold
to feeder buyers The bulk of trading
in medium to good steers ranged at
s3.S5m3.75, while those close to $500
were good 900-lb kinds. Very few
heavy feeders We're offered, but such
were auotable up to $3.50. Only few
odd lots of stockers sold under $2.I5
and a medium to good class brought
$3.00@3.40.

good for any kind of smooth horse
