PRODUCTION OF THE
LUSCIOUS SUGAR BEET
Report of the Agricultural Depart
ment Regarding the Beet Sugar
Industry Sent to Congress by
the President.

Washington.-President Roosevelt
sent to congress on Friday a report
on the progress of the beet sugar in
dustry in 1905, prepared by Charles
F. Saylor of the agricultural depart
ment. The report says success has
attended the beet sugar industry in
Colorado since the beginning. The
season Of 1905 was better than usual.
Colorado holds a unique position in
the development of the beet sugar in
iustry. It entered the field at a COM
paratiVely recent date, but already
twelve large plants have been in
stalled, with daily capacity of $500
tons. Three other factories-Brush,
Fort Morgan and Swinch-are being
built, with a capacity of 2,400 tons,
and three others are to be built during
the present year The fifteen facto-
ries will aggregate daily 1880 tons
of beets and 1,276 tons OF sugar, repre-
senting a money equivalent of $12,.
100000. The beet sugar industry in
that state has stimulated all sorts Of
improvements.
The reports show that Utah was the
third state to enter upon sugar beet
production. The start was made at
Lehi in 1891, and the growth has been
healthful ever since. The over-pro-
duction of beets soon stimulated the
erection of other factories. The beet
districts of Utah are said to be better
irrigated than in any other state. The
FIVE factories of Utah have a combined
capacity Of 1000 tons. Utah's beet
production has been much damaged
by the white fly pest, to which ento-
mologists of the department of agri-
culture will Immediately turn their at
tention in the hope of eradicating the
insect.
Idaho is one of the newest and least
developed states in agriculture, but
the installation of sugar factories has
given remarkable impetus to agri-
cultural development generally. Idaho
soil has rare qualities for sugar pro-
duction. Prior to this season Idaho
had three sugar factories of 800 tons
daily capacity. Two others are con-
tracted for, one at Nampa for 1906 and
one at Payette for 1907.
Wyoming is now under investiga-
ton. Beets grown are of high quail
ity, and Utah and Colorado capital
has turned toward that state because
of cheap fuel and good water The
report says it is likely that Wyoming,
like Idaho, will suddenly jump into
prominence among the sugar states of
the west.

TO BORROW $2oo,ooo,ooo.
Plan to Raise Money to Rebuild San

San Francisco,-A plan is now un.
der discussion here by which 1t is
hoped to secure $2OO,O0O,O 900. Briefly,
The purpose is to secure the guaran-
tee OF the United States upon bonds
to that amount, which shall form a
mortgage on the new construction. 1t
was brought forward by former May.
or James d. Phelan at meeting held
Sunday at which were present Con-
gresham Julius Kahn of the Fourth
California district, Charles S. Wheeler
and Banker s. g. Murphy. Mr. Phelan
later made the following statement:
The purpose of this meeting was
to discuss ways of providing capital
for the rebuilding OF the business
houses of San Francisco. 1t is esti-
mated by the underwriters that we
have suffered a loss of 5000, 700, 900.
This is for the most part represented

this. and we must look for 1t else
where. II we have to borrow it
through the ordinary banking chan
nels we will have to pay 4, and per-
haps per cent, which, added to the
Increased taxation we will Individually
have to bear, will be burden toG
great for us to carry, 1t is the idea,
therefore, to frame legislation, which
Congressman Kahn win be asked to
present to congress, recommending
that the United States guarantee our
bonds. With this guarantee we will
be able to go into the financial mar
kets of the world and borrow at 2 or
2l1 per cent the $20O.000,000 we need.
These bonds should run for not less
than fifty years. The proceeds of
their sale would be loaned on the Sc
curity of the realty and the new con-
struction; in other words, they would
constitute a mortgage on the best por-
ton of the new CITY,"

DAILY EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.
Salinas Has Been Severely Shaken Up
Since the Great Disturbance.

Los Angeles.-A long distance tele-
phone message from Salinas, 100 miles
south of San Francisco, states that
three more very heavy earthquake
shocks were felt there Thursday
night, one at o'clock, another at $50
and the last at o'clock Friday morn
ing. The shocks lasted about four
seconds each, but, so far as known,
did no damage, The news could not
be reported from Salinas earlier be-

feet all along its course for miles.

only law under which capital could in

The provisions of this code, in so far
as they relate to the organization of

ill-adapted to the needs of modern
commerce as conducted by English
