best results. The cream Is shipped
to Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Ogden, and

A business located here that Is car

tracted for large portion OF the beet
pulp and the same is used for the fat
tening OF high grade cattle. For sew
eral years. several thousand head OF
cattle have been fattened here and
shipped to the markets both east and
west. Austin Brothers association is
feeding sheep on a large scale, as they
find the beet pulp is excellent feed for
sheep. All these companies employ

GREAT SUGAR FACTORY.
In Sugar City is located the largest

large crops this season, many receiv-
ing from 15 to % tons per acre. The
bcets were nearly all harvested before
the storms came. and the large sums
of money paid the farmers for the beets
is finding Its way to channels of trade,
which is making exceeding prosperous
conditions in this entire section of coun-

penrOSe Again
Chosen Senator

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 19.-Boise
senator for the third time by the
Pennsylvania legislature today. The
house and senate balloted separately
today and will meet in joint convention
tomorrow to canvass the vote.
Senator Penrose is popularity classed
among the reactionaries of the United
States senate and his reelection is a
blow to the reform element of the re-
publican party. He is now the head of
the famous Quay machine which has
so long dominated Pennsylvania poll
tics, and is denounced by his enemies
as political half-brother of Platt and
Depew. Senator Penrose was accused
by President Roosevelt of being the
revealer of the $5,O0O,000 conspiracy
to thWart him and his policies.
Today's balloting was a mere for
mality, as Penrose's reelection had
been decided by caucus in which he
received 1T of the PIP republican
votes in the legislature. State Treasur-
err John Sheath, Of Philadelphia, the
choice of the anti organization re-
publicans, received only % votes. The
democratic members voted for Senator
George Dimling, of Clearfield. 1t is
now considered certain that George T.
Oliver, the Pittsburg newspaper pub
Usher, will be named by the legisla-
ture to fill out the uneXpired term of
United States Senator Philander G..
Knox, who will resign March to be-
come secretary of the state in Taft's
cabinet
1t is certain that much legislation
will be introduced at this session of
the legislature. The building of
state highway and a large apprOpria-
ton for fighting tuberculosis and es-
tablishing sanitariums for consump-
tives are among the salient recommen-
dations of Governor Stuart. All of the
big bosses of Philadelphia headed by
Isreal w. Durham, are in the senate
and are taking an active interest in
the legislative grind.

ALASKA SHORT IN
SURFACE WATERS
Miners In North Must Utilize Distant
Streams and Ignite Coal.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The fact
that the water supply in most of the
placer camps in Alaska is insufficient
to meet the needs of mining is forci-
bly, brought out by the geological sur
vey after an investigation of the sub
ject With precipitation of 10 to Is
inches in the Yukon basin. the survey
says and Is to 80 inches in Seward
peninsula. the climate must be con-
sidered semiarid. Continuing, the ge-
illogical survey says:
Moreover the frozen condition of
the subsoil prevents any ground stor-
age, and the low stream gradients are
unfavOrabie to the utilization of the
water supply. All of these factors go
to show the mad a1uacy of the sur
face waters for the needs CT the placer
miner, an inadequacy that is empha-
sized by such dry seasons as those of
1907 and 1908
unfortunately. the operators, slow
to recognize this, have been only too
ready to regard some of the years OF
heavy precipitation as normal and
many of those of low or moderate pre-
cipitation as abnormal Many hundreds
of bitches have been constructed or
partly constructed and many expensive
plants installed for which the normal
water supply was absolutely made
quate. The problem of mining the
gravels with an insufficient water sup
ply presents many difficulties, but it
will be solved. 1t is probable that
power will be obtained for pumping
and other DyIrppSpS nv ,,tilizipo xzyo Tor
powers in some localities, and the ex-
tensive deposits of Ignite coal found
in or near some of the placers will
also be useful
