Seattle. Wash. April 1T.-Partly by

ancient workings of natural forces. the
huge amphitneater Of the Alaska Yukon
Pacific Exposition has been constructed.
The preeipitous shores Of Lake Wash
ington, looking across a succession OF
bays and snow-topped peaks of the Cas-
cades, form the background OF the amphi-

About the sides OF the amphitheater

WOULD USE MORE SUGAR.
Association Forms in Germany 10
Increase It's Consumption.

Consul Frank s Hannah. Of Magde-
burg, says that at a meeting on February
/ D in Berlin. attended by about four hun
/ bred Of the leading sugar reiners. beet
growers. &c. an association was formed
! having as its object 10 increase the con-
sumption OF sugar in Germany.
1t was shown that Germany consumes
much less sugar per capita than most
Of the other civilized countries. and 1t is
especially desired that the home cor
sumption be vastly increased SO as to
find a ready inland market for the Ger
man production. Since the Brussels con-
ventiOn has gone into effect Russia has
become n more important competitor in
the worlds market. and as the possibility
OF extending the production there is al
most unlimited. conditions for the Ger
man sugar industry viii not improve. II
was generally agreed that the raising OF
beets makes the land more productive
for the raising Of grain in following years
than land which had been devoted to
other purposes.
Attention was also called 10 the fact
that in the last six years the produc-
ton Of cane sugar has increased 10000. 600
centners (centner. 10 pounds, while the
beet-sugaT production has increased
5000 coo centners. And this nctwithstand-
ing the fact that Cuba only uses one
fourteenth part Of her area which is suit
able for sugar raising
The association starts with a member
ship Of flfty-seven prOprietors Of sugar
refneries and $500 producers Of and deal
ers in sugar beets.
