LOVELOCk SUGAR BEE1S
TOOK Prize AT WORLDS FAIR
Chemical Analysis Demonstrates That
Lovel0ck Beets Are Ahead
Of All Others

in sugar beet raising is the Lovelock
Valley situated in the southeastern
part of Humboldt County on the
Humboldt River. The soil in this
valley is peculiarly rich and fertile
and has been formed by the growth
and decay of tules, which have been
covered by sediment thus forming
alternate layer after layer of tule and
sedimentary silt to great debth. In
one instance boring have been made
to the debth of $50 feet, showing
the same formation the entire distance
The soil is free from rocks, and is
very friable and porons, thus afford
ing an excellent opportunity for the
beet to go down into the soil, result
ing in an ideal shape with no. side
roots. Many of the beets from this
section this year were from eighteen
to twenty seven inches in length, and
in good proportion other wise. From
&c, 900 to 10000 acres of this land
could be obtained for beet raising.
Tne farmers of the Lovelock vail
ey VINO raised beets for the tests were
John Harrison, Joseph Hill, VIM.
Loorz, ]. Fl. Theis, and H. G..
Marker. The beets gave remarkable
tests for sugar, in some cases run
ing as high as IS 20 per cent ofsugar
in the juice of the beet and % 90 per
cent sugar in the whole beet The
the sugar averaged between IS and
o5 per cent. The beets raised by
John Harrison were the best sub
mitted. The tests demonstrated be-
yond all question of doubt the adap.
liability OF the Lovelock soil for the
raising of sugar beets.

Advises Raising Hogs.

Several of the valley farmers have
received a circular letter from the
Western Meat Company, showing
the present high prices on live hogs,
and pointing out that at no time
since the establishment of their pack
ing honse 18 years ago, has the COM
pany been able to buy enough hogs
in the west to meet their wants.
The letter expresses the hope that

ers who build up or hold back their
town and community.
The volume of business is the price
maker. Let US get to gather and
eliminate the mail order business
and build up our own town and COM
munity. We benefit ourselves and
we make Lovelock a desirable place
in which to, live. Don't you think
this is the best plan?
We welcome any argument or cor
respondence relative to this vital
question.

The Tribune could not have asked
fora more typical example of the
delusion that prompts Lovelock
peoele to send away for goods instead
of purchasing them at home. This
paper has never argued that senti-
ment should direct that Lovelock
Dollars shonld be spent at home, and
not with Scissors, Rare back & Co.,
but that good sound business jndge,
ment, shows the advantage of trad
ing at home. About the only place
that sentiment prevails when a man
lets loose of a dollar, is when char
ity or public benefit subscription list
is brought to him to sign, or in any
instance where he is requested to
donate with no prospect of return.
Our correspondent argues that he
can not get the class of goods here he
wants. We do not know just what
particular class of goods he requires
but we do know that there is not a
merchant in Lovelock or Halifax but
what is ever ready to cater to the
public demand for any class of goods.
Our correspondent may not be able
to rush into the first store in Love
lock lookingfor three fingered glove
or a talking parrot, and find them in
all varieties but if there were persist
ent demand for such out of the ordln-
ary goods he may be assured that
they would certainly be kept in stock.
In other words has our correspond
ent every made his wants know to the
local merchants, or has he ever ap
piled twice for the same article. A
ten to one bet he has not. His argu
ment in this respect is like a sieve.
The price he says is another rea-
son. He considers everything, he
says. Well he is mistaken. He don't
consider half the things. He reaches
a conclusion blindly, and the mail
order houses find him another easy
mark. If the mail order price the
one that he sees in the catalogue,
varys few cents from the local price
it is his fault, as an outside buyer,
and not the local merchants fault
here is not Lovelock Merchant
but what could do twice the business
he is now doing without increasing
his expenses third, and if he did
double his business he could cut his
necessary profits accordingly.
If the Catalogue price(which is just
half the story is lower than the local
price the difference would be prac-
tically eliminated were the entire
business Of the Lovelock valley done
at home. We do not need to ask
our correspondent whether he has
ever sold any thing to the mail order
or any one Connected with it, we do
not need to ask him whether he has
ever again seen one Of his dollars
sent there.
We do not need to ask him about
what or who is contributing to the
value of his properties or interests.
No the home merchant needs neither
advocate nor defense, it is the buy

it will be, for the reason that the

Declaration of Principles by Socialists

In connection with the movement to
secure a sufficient numbr Of signers
to petition to entitle the socialist
party to a place on the state ticket
the committee, at meeting held at
Barre recently. unanimously adopted
the following platform:
We. the Socialists of Vermont,
hereby pledge our loyal adherence to
the principles of international So
cialism set forth in the national plat
| form of the socialist party of Ameri-
ca. In common with the Socialists of
all lands, we declare our belief that
| only through the specialization Of the
| great social forces of production and
exchange can the nation find solu-
ton for the problems which create
social unrest, the masses to be saved
from poverty and fright to life, llber-
ty and the pursuit of happiness to be
insured to all.
AS Socialists we are not opposed to
private property. We repudiate as
fanciful and absurd all schemes for
the equal division of wealth which our
enemies accuse US OF advocating: Inc
only equality" we advocate is the
equality of opportunity.
In order that equality of opportun'
ity NAV become a central fact in oul
; national life, it is necessary to put
an end to the system which enable:
privileged few through the owner
= ship of the great social agencies o.
: production and distribution, to explol
the labor and needs of the many. II

n progressive specialization of industrial
