Value Of Beet Sugar Products.

Some idea of the magnitude OF the
beet sugar industry I'm the United
States can be given 10y estimating the
value of the beets sold by the growers
To the factories and of the refined
sugar placed on the market by the
factories last year.
If we assume that the average price
paid for bsets in 1906 was 50 per ton.
the total value of the 4.236 112 tons of
beets harvested is S2l, lSO.560. II we
estimate the value Of the sugar ut ~
cents per pound. the 9GT. 22i. 900 pounds
of sugar manufactured were worth
$i3,525.0sO. Probably the assumed
prices both for beets and for sugar
may be triie below those actually
received. but these figures are suili-
cicnty accurate To indicate the magni-
tude of the industry Charles +. Say

ADAMS RETURNS TO JAIL

Tried Again, but This is Con-

p WALLACE Idaho, March S.-"Just about
what I expected" That is Steve Adams
view of the dismissal OF the jury which
declared last evening II was unable to de-
eide whether he was guilty or innocent Of
the murder of Fred Tyler. Adams APP
peared in court today, waived the right to
ask release on bond and returned TO jail.
The state asserts that the case will be
tried again, presumably at the october term
OF court but the opinion expressed here
is that he will never be tried on this charge
again. He probably will be taken to Cald-
well, Idaho, in few days to testify in the
trial of Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone,
accused OF the murder OF Former Governor
steunenberg, and in case they are convicted
he may be tried later as an accessory to
this ASSASSINATION.
The trial just concluded is estimated TO
have cost the county about $4,000, to which
must be added the expense borne by the
state and by the Western Federation of
Miners, which provided for Adams de-
fense.

chief prosecutor in the case OF the state

1t is expected the lumbermen will act on

journed in daylight The spirit of the
noon adjournment resolution was kept,
although the letter of 1t was stretched by
few minutes, the actual Adjournment
being a few minutes after the hour.
Just at the close of the senate session,
Dowdell rose to a question of personal
privilege. He said his character had been
attacked in an anony nous circular letter
and while he did not care for himself. he
did for his family, and wanted to resent
any accusations which had been made.
The two houses enjoyed mock sessions
while waiting for the engrossing forces
TO clear up their work. and kept the fun
hot for a time. both houses singing
America just before the end. The session
will go down as the one which has done
more to control corporations by law than
any other, great part of the time having
been devoted to that class Of work Pub
lie morals have also been considered, and
several laws on that subject have been
enacted; and the liquor interests found
every move on their part for greater liber-
ties blocked with many restrictive meas
ures enacted for their better control.
General bills enacted, which are OF
statewide interest are the primary cleo
tion, capitol building. general divorce and
general educational laws, while many
minor measures OF local interest have
been enacted. The appropriations have
gone beyond those OF any other session
but the growth Of the state has compelled
an increase.
