Beet Sugar Season Closed.

BILLINGS, Jan. The Billings
sugar factory yesterday finished slic-
ing beets, and ended the most sue
cessful season since the beet sugar
industry was established in the yell
lowstone valley. Approximately H.
600 acres of beets we're grown in the
Billings district this year, and from
that area $4,000 tons of beets
were grown and delivered at
the factory and converted in
to granulated sugar. Nearly $780,
600 was paid to the growers. The
largest yield per acre is said to have
been 26 tons, but the average produc.
ton in the district was Is tons for old
ground and II tons for new ground.
During the operating season the
factory employed 600 men and during
that time S15, 900 q month has been
paid to them. Only 100 employees will
be retained until the work begins in
full force again next fall. About L.
600 head of cattle and 10, 900 head of
sheep are now in the yards of the
sugar factory being fattened upon the
residue of beets. Animals fed in this

About Dry Farming.

An Interesting bulletin, in which is
presented the results of dry farming
Investigations in Montana, has been
issued by the experiment station at
Bozeman, and is now ready for distri-
button. It contains about 228 pages
of reading matter, with a number of
excellent illustr atoms. and is the best
work of the kind yet published. A
supply OF these bulletins has been
sent to the River Press for free dis
tribution in this vicinity, or copies
may be secured free by mail, by
addressing the experiment station at
Bozeman.
The bulletin presents the results of
all dry farming experiments conducted
SO far in the dry farming sub-stations
in she state. The authors are: Alfred
Atkinson, agrOnoEist, and j. B.
Nelson, superintendent of dry farm
ing sub-stations.
Ga tie first page of che bulletin is d
statement OF the six conclusions drawn
from a study of the data contained.
In brief these conclusions are:
That the dry lands Of Montana may
be made 70 pay profitable returns
when properly handled.
That fall sown crops yield better
than spring sown ones and that
Turkey red fall wheat gave the highest
yield of all crops tested.
That light seeding, from 3 to 5 pecks
per acre is better tn n heavier seeding
in the case OF the grain crops.
That planting grain in rows for
inter tillage is Improbable.
That growing grain each alternate
year with a properly titled fallow be-
tween brings greater total returns
than growing grain every year.
That it pays to keep a summer
fallow titled properly TO prevent weed
growth and maintain a moisture con-
serving mulch.
The discussions presented cover
the yields harvested at the s%ubstations
in the different parts of the state: the
relative yields of different grains
tested and other points of interest
along dry farming lines. Every dry
farmer should write to the experiment
station at Bozeman and get a copy.

The Problem Of County Roads.

GREAT FALLS, Jan. 9.-The meeting
of the Montana Society of Engineers
came to a close this evening with q
most enjoyable banquet at the Park
hotel, at which the members of the
society and many business and pro-
fessional men of the city were the
guests.
The question of the care of coun-
ty roads was n of the principal
topics discussed, the matter being
brought up in a letter asking the
society to express it's opinion on the
proposition of having the care and
responsibility Of the county highways
placed entirely upon the county sur
veyors, instead of the road supervis-
ors, as under the system at present in
vogue in the state.
The matter was disposed of by ref
erence to d committee, which will
make its suggestion to the proper
committee in the legislature.
The proposition seemed to be gen.
orally favored by the members of the
society. although several objections
we're raised, the principal objection
being that under the present law the
county surveyors are not required to
possess any particular qualifications
other than that of being able to oh.
tain sufficient votes to bring about

RAILROAD CHANGES NAME.
Milwaukee Road Files New Articles
of Incorporation At Halena.

HELENA, Jan; 7.-Attorrey George
F. Shelton OF Butte, yesterday fled in
the office of the secretary of state the
articles Of incorporation of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound Rail-
way company.
The new corporation takes over all
the state corporations of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul that were n.
ganized at the time of inaugurating
the extension from Mobridge. S. D.,
to Seattle and Tacoma. This com.
pany is incorporated under the laws
of the state of Washington, and owns
all the main line of the Milwaukee
west of Mobridge.
Mr.. Shelton paid the secretary of
state of Montana 9 fling fee OF &c.
1853, which is said to be the largest fee
that Office has received in more than q
year.
The official action settles the name
of the road, and ends such prospects
as had been cherished of having the
name of Butte included in the corporate
title. Mr.. Shelton said that the Off.
cials found it vas necess airy to include
the name of the terminal place, and
inasmuch as it vas necessary to drop
the name of St. Paul to avoid making
the title too bulky it was inexpedieu'
| to insert Butte.
