REPORT OF
CITY TRUSTEES
For the Past Year Showing Re-
ceipts and DISBURSEMENTS
SUGGESTIONS are Made

outlook is fayoroble to their entire
extinction at maturity or before. How
ever the sewer service is becoming
year by year more unsatisfactory
and must eventually be improved and
a general outlet obtained at some point
east of the city. Everything points
to a greater prosperity for the city
than it has known for twenty years
and the sewerage is q vital question
more easily solved now than later.
II is possible to place Carson City
ION the map" in the position to which
it is entitled, as a most desirable res
idence town. by the substitution OF
enterprise instead of general apathy,
and the exercise of little public
spirit instead Of personal! prejudice
and selfish interest.
We have perfect freedom from the
tramp nuisance: we have excellent
schools and pure water; law abld-
ing community and opportunity. Shall
we retrograde. stand still or go aheand

apDoinfment of a receiver for the bank
| and cited several authorities showing
that the bank was insolvent from the
mere fact that it had closed its doors
and unon demand had been unable to
meet the demand of its depositors
and creditors.
Mr. Platt then took the floor and in
a few words related the history OF the
attempts of the directors and the re-
habiljtatine committee of the bank TO

The Colorado farmers unite and refuse to raise
sugar beets for less than the price which they figure
will give them fair profit. In Idaho while the
mutterings are loud and the discomfort great and
freely expressed the admontions of the bishops to
the poor dupes of Mormons are sufficient to pre-
vent them from demanding a fair price for their
product Enough of them are "counse1ed" bv the
church authorities to raise bees to keep the factories
running This is true of the southeastern or Nor
portion of the State, where there three large
factories. The Gentle farmers, Americans, have
almost ceased raising the sugar beet Sometimes
the Gentle rents his farm for much cash per
acre, to Japanese and sometimes the factory rents
his land and employs Japanese to raise the beets
The poor deluded, ignorant duped Mormon has to
pay ten per cent of his four dollars and half Der
ton to the church tthing and it is taken out of
his pay when he receives the money for his beets
The Gentle farmer escapes this ten per cent tax
but then he pro6tably raise sugar beets
at four and one-half dollars per ton
The Nampa and Payette factories will have to
secure their beets from Genties, for the most part
and if the American farmers in this favored section
of the State cannot get a better price for their
beets than the farmers in the southeast receive they
will not long continue raising the sugar beet AS
a rule the people do not long prosper under any
as the sugar trust and Mormon church combination
With the price for beets regulated by this church
trust and sugar trust the American farmers around
Nampa and Payette will not cannot prohtab1y raise
bees for the factories. Mormons and Japanese will
have to be imported into this beautiful and pro-
ductive valley in sufficient numbers and they must
acquire sufficient land to supply the factories The
consumer of sugar is not benefited by multiplicity
of factories controlled by the sugar trust which
destroys competition and fixes its own price and
the community is not benefited by this influx of
Mormons and Japanese. Every Gentle community
which has invited and encouraged the Mormon
church to build sugar factories in their midst has
wed to keenly regret their coming.
Gentle sugar factories in Colorado and Califor-
la, which are not controlled by the sugar trust are
beneficial to the farmers and the community, fur
nshng fair profit to the farmer and factory
Even the factories in Michigan which are not con-
rolled by the trusts profitable to farmer and
actory although the production of beets per acre
only about one-half that of irrigated countries

1uch less. Any American community pays too large

Raising Sugar Beets.

The production of sugar from beets has become
quite industry in the arid West Colorado,
Utah and Idaho being the leading producers in the
order named California has number of beet sugar
factories, Oregon and Washington one or two.
Factories contemplated in Montana and Wyo-
ming. There seems to be no doubt that this indus
try is profitable to the sugar corporations but the
opinion is growing that it is not so to the farmers
to the rasers of the beet The sugar trust controls
the factories in of the States and regulates the
price of sugar and in consequence it of no benefit
to the consumers that sugar factory is located in
their midst, far as the price of sugar is con-
cerned
Blacktoot, to illustrate, has a large factory yet
the people of Omaha buy sugar manufactured in the
Blackfoot factory cheaper by a cent and one-haf
per pound than the Blackfoot people can. A mer-
chant at Blackfoot could not buy this Blackfoot
sugar in Omaha for four four and one-half cents
per pound and ship it back to Backfoot and sell it
for five and one-half cents per pound although the
freight rate would not be than one-ha1f cent
per pound, because the sugar trust fixes the price
at Blackfoot for the merchant and DEGREES that he
shall make a percentage of profit fixed by it.
The trust SO adjusts the price of sugar and the
freight rate that proximity to the factory is of no
advantage to the consumer. In Utah and Idaho the
Mormon church Ga great trust tself) is in partner
ship with the sugar trust. The president of the
Mormon church, the fve-ply poygamist Joseph F.
Smith, is president of each and every factory in these
two States, some thirteen in all, five of them in
Idaho.
Joseph F. Smith, trustee in trust for the
church, owns enough stock, added to the stock
owned by the sugar trust to give him and the sugar
trust majority of the stock Joseph F. Smith as
trustee in trust for the Mormon church must not

THE BLACKSTONE CASE.

A resolution wss introduced in The
legislature yesterday setting forth the
causes why Judge j. w. G. Blackstone,
OF the Eleventh judicial circuit, against
whom charges of removal are now
pending, should be removed and formally
recommending his removal.
With the adoption of the resolution
by the general assembly, the bench Of
the Eleventh circuit will be declared
vacated and the assembly will appoint
time to name a successor to Judge Black
stone. Included In the resolutions will
be the causes for removal, which embrace
immortality and neglect of official duty.
That a vigorous fight will follow the
introduction of the resolution Is assured.
As ground why The legislature should not
proceed, it will be alleged that the charges
we're really not presented until Judge
Blackstone bad filed bis answer showing
that he would oppose removal. The
fading of the House commission, it will
be held, were relative to the merits Of
the case.
The attitude of the House toward Judge
Blackstone is such that the resolution is
practically assured of passage.
Judge Blackstone, although still suffer
ing from illness, appeared at the capitol
yesterday to look after his defense 10

OF the house committee through his
counsel, Fay s. Collier and O. AYIett

MR.. BRYAN IN RICHMOND.

Mr.. William Jennings Bryan. who as
the guest OF the Virginia Legislature de-
Iivered political address at the
Auditorium in Rich mond last night to
the members of the General Assembly
and the people Of Virginia, WAS asked
after the speaking if be had suy thing to
say concerning the attitude toward him
of Senator John w. Daniel and the pro-
priely of eIectiug the Virginia Senator
as delegate at large to the Denver
convention.
Mr. BRYAN replied: 81 am sorry that
Senator Daniel was called away by the
ssd death of FIorida's brilliant Senator.
Mfj Daniel and have been friends for
a great msny years. In 1896, when he
introduced me here in Richmond, be
paid me the highest compliments that
we're paid during the campaign, when,
paraphrasiug a sentence from Holy Writ,
he said Of me: ale has rolled away the
stone from the tepulcher in which de-
mocrscy lay buried"
C6uhlOI Dhuici has fialtcu Mo III Nt-
brsska, and | have met him in Wash
ington and at other places, and slwsy $
with pleasure. While we differed as to
some matters at st. Lonis, our diffsren-
ces did not interfere with our personal
relations. We may not agree upon all
public questions, but differences among
democrats are to be expected, for
democrats believe that each man
should think for himself, aud that the
opinion of the msjority should control
in all matters OF government and OF
party policy. Neither enemies nor
friends shall be permitted to disturb the
cordial relations existing between Senator
Daniel and myself.H s
There we're fise thousand people ia
the auditorium when the speaker arrived.
Perhaps three times that number had
been turned away for lack of seating
capacity. The chief Of police estimates
the actual number that turned out to
hear Bryan at 10000, which surpssses

Revolutionary Movement In China.

Pekin, Mar. 26.-Wholesale arrests
are BEING made in an effort to check the
anti-gOvernment movement which has
followed the settlement Of the Tstsu
Msru incident.
Revolutionary leaders we're prompt TO
avail themselves Of China's final surren-
ner to japan as 40 excuse for fomenting
popular discomfort with the "cowsrdice"
Of the coUntry's rulers. They have sue
ceeded so we'll tina. all the more impOr-
tant cities are hot beds of anti.govern-
ment conspiracy, end several provinces
are on the verge of revolt, not to men,
ton those where rebellion has been
chronic for months.
An especially alarming feature Of the
situation is the number OF rich and prom
inent Chinese who are enlisted in the
revolutionary movement. Numbers of
these have aed from their homes to dis
tricts where the government is already
SO weak that they feel themselves safe
from arrest.
Japan is adding to ChiDs's embarrsss-
ment by limiting more and more broadly
that Pekin must put stop to the spread
ing anti japanese boycott or look out
for international complications.
