COBURN ON SUGAR BETS.
: Struggles Of the SaCCharlne Industry

topeka, Oct. Is "A bulletin
on sorghum and sorghum making

Kansans were early possessed of
the idea that their state was ad.
apted to the growing of sugar
yielding plants. In spite of var
ious backsets and disapDoirtments
this 2pinion was steadfastly ad-
hered BY the demonstrated fact
that at least some portions of
Kansas we're not only suitable for
sugar yielding plants but that
such could be and are actually
grown IN the state and manufact-
ured into sugar Of the highest
quality. This. of course. refers

inents covering five years Lad

For FIVE years prior to the cree.
tion of this factory the state had
been offering encouragement by
appropiating $4,000 annually as
bounty for those who raised beets
that contained a given percentage
Of sweetness and were actually
made into sugar. These appro-
prlatlon were continued for six
Years, beginning with 1901, and
served their purpose; there was
no longer necessity for them.
These, however, we're not the first
appropriations made by the legis-
lature to promote sugarmaking.
A quarter of century ago
KanSans we're optimistic that
through the utilization of the
common sorghum grown so pro-
fusely, the st ate would become a
famous sugar center. The
pioneers in this movement, while
able to make a fairly good quality
of sugar, could not do so at a pro-
tit. largely owing. as it was then
thought, to the inadequacy of the
methods used for extracting the
sugar. interest was awakened,
however, by the application of
new processes that promised to
o5viate this and other difficulties.
Lack of money to develop the
possibilities of later processes
was the obstacle that now con.
fronted the industry, but this was
in part at least surmounted by the
governments making approuria-
tons for several years to demon
strate their practicabilitv.
In 1887 the legislature took
q note of the industry by providing
for a bounty of two cents per

TO BE AID.
Reservoirs Of Sioux Falls Project {
Help People East of River.

Up to the presnt the people east of
the Missouri river have paid little at.
tention to the irrigation code of the
state, taking the position that 1t is in
tended only for the section of the
state west of the Missouri river.
But now that the people of Sioux
Falls desire to more fully utilize the
waters of the Sioux river in their pow
er plant they have suddenly discov-
cred that it will work to their benefit
as well as to the benefit of those in the
western part of the state. They have
filed water rights on several points
along the Sioux river, two of them be-
ing at Lake Poinsett and Lake Kan
peska, which lakes are to be utilized
as storage reservoirs for food waters
in the spring to be held and released
later in the year when the water is
wanted on the lower river. Besides
utilizing the lake for power storage
they are also expected to aid in pre-
venting the overflows along that
stream which have for the last few
sSClo ldSl4Sdlly piSNSh1Sa IIC I'LL
ing of a large amount of the land in
the valley. This action Is in strong
contrast to the situation several years
ago in the "dry time" when the resi-
dents of Lake Poinsett vicinity de-
sired to dam the Sioux river and turn
it's waters into their lake to save it
from becoming a swamp, but met with
radical protests from the people lower
down along the valley who threatened
to go into court If necessary to pre-
vent this stealing" of the water.
The action of the Sioux Falls people
in filing these water rights followed
a visit of State Engineer Lea Of that
city, where he explained to them the
workings of the low water law, and
what they would be compelled to do
in case they desired to better control
the waters Of the Sioux.

Cayley, Alta, Dec. Z, 1906.
Agent Canadian Government,
Watertown, s.. d.
Dear Sir:
Your letter dated Nov. 9th at hand
and was very glad to hear from you.
l see that you are still at work per-
suading people to move into the Cana
1 a Northwest. 1 must tell you that
l W you many thanks for ~persuading
me to como out here, am only sorry
that I wasn't persuaded sooner, and
there is still plenty Of good chances
for many more right at the present
time. 1 hope that you will be able to
induce more to make a start out to
this part Of the country.
Now I must tell you what / have
accomplished since 1 came out here
and it won't be three years till the 1st
of July. I shall shortly receive my
patent for my homestead, the home
stead cost me $1,000 in all, to-day it is
worth $4,000 per acre, but it is not for
sale. Then a year ago last May 1
bought 800 acres at $500 per acre and
sold this fall for $4,000 per acre and
cleared a profit of $ $4,000. How is
that for the Northwest? 1 now have
800 acres Of land and all paid for, Is
head of horses, 80 head of cattle, %
pigs, 2 sheep and about $50 chickens
and other poultry, and all new ma
chinery and everything is paid for.
We also bought 8 lots in Calgary and
z in High River. We gave $47O for
the Is lots and they are paid for. At
present I consider myself worth 3d.
100000, and when I left Wisconsin less
than three years ago I had about
100000. This year I threshed a little
over 1000 bushels of grain, have
about one thousand bushels Of fine
potatoes and about five hundred bush
els OF turnips. Mrs. Beisiegel sold
about 5000 worth OF garden truck and
poultry this fall. Now there are lots
of others in this community who did
as well as l did in the same length of
time.
The family and myself are all well
at this writing and hope this letter
WILL find you the same.
Yours very truly,

didn't know his mind and asked me
what he had better do, and I, like a
father, told him he'd better not marry
the girl he was counting. He went right
off and married her.
An old man from the country came
into the car where I was reading my
morning paper and sat down at my side.

ELECTRIC ROAD HAS CLEAR WAY.
People Along Proposed Route Are En-
t~husiastic.

The committee of Mitchell business
men, appointed to make the trip
across the country from Mitchell to
Marshall Mimi, to inspect. the terri
tory through which it is the intention
to build an electric railway line, has
returned home. after a successful
drive. In the party was D. B. Miller
Of Mitchell. MIR. Miller stated that
the committee was we'll received by all
the farmers through the country which
they passed, and that they showed a
ready willingness to help the enter
prise in every possible way. From
| the talk he had with all Of them he
| said that he did not think there would
| be the least trouble to secure the right
| Of way for the road, and that there
would be no disposition of the farm
ers to try to obtain fancy prices for
their real estate. Many Of them were
| willing to make an investment.
Through the nero towns the
committee drove, Mr.. Miller stated
that they found the citizens enthusi-
astic on the electric road proposition,
and that they stood ready and willing
10 help the enterprise in every posi-
ole way.
The territory in which the line is
proposed stands in need of a more
direct line to Minneapolis and ST.
Paul, and this is where the electric
line ultimately will reach. Towns be-
yond Marshall are asking for a further
extension of the road.
1t is the intention to trace the pro-
posed route on maps to be used before
the committee at a meeting which will
be called in Mitchell at an early date.
At that time the organization of the
company may take more tangible
form.
In reaching Marshall the line will
pass through four county seal towns
aud through a rich farming country
lined with good towns.
John ASHER and a company of men
residing at Armour and Wagner have
made application to the city council
Of Mitchell for an electric light fran
chise for lighting and fuel purposes.
The franchise, in Its provisions is
practically the same as the present
company has, with the exception that
the rates for light are much lower.
The franchise has been placed on it's
first reading. The men behind the
franchise claim that it will be the
means of the construction Of an elec-
trio line of railroad from Wagner to
Mitchell, on which a good deal of work
already had been done. A franchise
has been secured at Armour, and con.
tracts have been let to commence the
construction of the plant, which will
be a portion of the power system. The
company claims capitalists in the
Twin Cities will finance the PROPOSE
ton as soon as the franchises are
granted. At present the right of way
is being secured for farmers along the
proposed line of road. The company
proposes to invest 100000 in a plant
in Mitchell.
