Between 10000 and $4,000 deaths
and two million injured, is the &C.
cident record in the United States
during the past year among working
men, according to a bulletin on acct
dents issued today by the Bureau of
Labor. Of those employed in fac
tories and work shops, it is stated
that probably the most exposed class
are the workers in iron and steel.
Fatal accidents among electricians
and electric linemen and coal miners
are declared to be excessive, while
railway trainmen were killed in the
proportion of TAG deaths per 1000
employees. The bulletin declares
that much that could be done for the
protection of the workingmen is ne
though many and far-reach-

BEET SUGAR CROP.
Government Expert Makes Report
Covering Industry in the Gem
State.

From the Statesman.
A. F. Hit, special field agent fol
Idaho, Oregon and Washington, bu
reau of statistics, United States de.
partment of agriculture, has returned
from the southeastern part of the
state.
Mr.. Hit was in the city short
time and stated that he was greatly
surprised at the immense amount of
dry farming which is successfully
carried on in the vicinity of st. An
thony. "Plows and seeders are still
running there he stated, land
thousands of acres are being sown to
winter wheat. At one place a NAM
moth steam pillow, owned by Webster
& Woodmansee, is being operated
day and night cutting the soil 16 feet
wide at a stretch for fall planting.
"The beet sugar industry is also
one of great magnitude in that Sec
ton and my mission to the southeast
was for the purpose of investigating
this business and to ascertain the
output in the state this year. AS far
as / can tell it will amount to about
the same as last year, although the
acreage is less the tonnage is greater
and better results have been obtained
this year than last in raising sugar
beets.
THE results of an investigation of
the industry last year is as follows:
Acres planted, 26,015; tons of beets
raised, 254,940; amount paid farm
ers, $908,500; amount paid factory
labor, $271,500; pounds of sugar
turned out, 63,700,00O; value of
sugar, $2,911,50O; tons of beets
raised to the acre, 9.47.
THE above figures showing the
of last year, does not in
clude the large acreage in Oneida and /
Cassia counties, their beets having
been sent to Utah factories. North
IDAHO also furnished about one-third '
If the beets used in the Waverly fac /
DRY in Washington, nearly all }of /
which were shipped from Latah {

NEW MAIL ORDER CAMPAIGN

While the business done by Sears

order house, was about $60,O0O,OO(
in the last year, and that of the nu.
merous other leading similar con.
Germs is also very large, the mail
order supply houses are not content
but are developing new line of at
tack on the retail buyers scattered
through the country at large. The
mail order trade has been hurt con-
siderably by the antagonism of the
local merchants, and now the big
catalogue houses are preparing to
send an army of experienced statesmen
right into the enemy's country, to try
to get the farmers and others to pat
ronize them. These statesmen are be-
ing especially schooled for the work.
They will travel through the country
carrying catalogues, samples of mer-
etc., and will seek to get
acquainted with the inhabitants and
win their confidence and support,
They will also undertake to encour-
age social betterments among the.
rural population, and, in short. in
gratiate themselves with them in
every way possible. This campaign
will cost a mint of money, and it re-
mains to be seen whether it ,will
BRING in enough to pay or not

EDITOR VISITS HIS OLD HOME
From Gem State Rural.
i While at Greeley. Colorado, In
September. the editor of the Gem
Site Rural was impressed with the
beauty and general prosperity of the
city and surrounding country.
| The sugar beet crop was reported
good and the 600-ton capacity sugar
factory was ready for 80 day cam
paign.
The average yield OF beets this
season was estimated at Is tons to
the acre.
The potato crop was thought to
be good although but few of the
tubers had been dug. Some estimates
LOT the crop in that vicinity this sea-
son placed the output at $4,000 cars.
The selling price had not been es-
tablished at the time of the writer's
visit but the opinion appeared to be
that it would rule around rs cents a
hundred.
The editor also received courtesies
at the hands of Cashier c. H. Wheel
er of the Greeley National bank, and
wife, also old friends, which were
duly appreciated. In fact the three
days visit at the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. T. West and Mr.. and Mrs.
G. H. West, relatives, was greatly
enjoyed as many friends Of early days
in Greeley were met.
The city has improved greatly
since our visit there seven years ago,
and is becoming a city Of beautiful
homes and most attractive streets.
1t is an educational center now,
with one of the best normal schools
in the entire country and system of
public schools that ranks among the
best in the state.
The city also has four bright, en-
terprising newspapers, the Tribune,
Sun, Pioneer and Republican, three
of them being dailies, and all doing
good service for the city and tribu-
tary country.
One of the new buildings is
handsome public library structure,
erected by means Of public contribu-
lions, largely through the tireelss eff
forts of one of its pioneer citizens, J.
Max Clark. The citizens preferred
this plan to the Carnegie way of do
ing it.
But, as already stated, the beauti-
full paved and parked streets are an
exceedingly attractive feature of the
city and the surprising thing about
the streets is that they are made by
using the street grader and 3O-ton
roller, with coating of native &C.
ment gravel combined with a small
per cent of Portland cement. The
city owns five-acre cement gravel
bed conveniently located and all that
is needed is to round up the streets
with a grader and then spread the
gravel and cement, wet it down and
apply the heavy roller 1t packs
'irm and becomes very smooth and
solid; makes a pavement equal to as
'halt, and of course is comparatively
heap. Caldwell and other Idaho
titles that have cement gravel beds
'asily accessible would do well to ex-
'eriment with this method of street
'aving.
1t Is certainly making the streets of
ireeley among the finest to be found
nyWhere, and likewise contributing
n no small degree towards placing
his famous agricultural community
mong the handsomest cities to be
ound in any state, east or west.
