SUGAR PROFITS USED UP.
Company Reports Deficit as Result
of Paying Legal Damages.

Settling government suits based on the
underweighing frauds cost the American
Sugar Refining Company more money
than It could make up in the process OF
ordinary business. and as a result the
company's financial report for 1903 shows
deficit of Sl,S95.000. The sum paid IN
settlement of the government suits and
the litigation instituted by the receiver
of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining CON-
pany was S4135. 4s6.
Satisfaction of the governments claim

and ss,729,oO9 In 1907. The increase over
the preceding year was equal to S. PEI

wiped out.

hill DEFENDS COLD STORAGE
He Declares War on Plants Hit at
Conservation.
Railroad Builder Says warehousing
of Food Supplies Aids the
Producer.

Discussing the criticisms of the cold
storage institutions of the country. James
J. Hin, chairman of the board of diree-
tors Of the Great Northern Railway Com
pany. took up the cudgel in behalf of
these concerns.
THE widespread and unfavorable gen.
.eraI discussion directed against cold stor-
age" Mr.. Hill said. lis harmful and
strikes directly at the great principle of
conservation and to the detriment Of in
creased food supplies to meet the require
ments OF our constantly increasing con-
Stunning population.
There are few subjects which afford
greater benefits than the one termed cold
storage, the system of holding perishabIe
food products in specially constructed
cold storage warehouses supplied with
cold air, from seasons Of plenty when
nature is prolific to the time when nature
is dormant, and in transporting them
from the heavy producing sections OF the
country in specially constructed refriger-
ator cars and refrigerated ships to the
consuming sections and to all parts OF
the world, where they are delivered IN
prime condition and of excellent quality
1T encourages the fruit grower TO in
crease his orchards and vineyards con-
tinued Mr. Hill, "the farmer to increase
his herds and fiocks, which conserve and
increase the fertility of his fields, all
with the assurance that the products OF
his orchards and his farm can be handled
and preserved until the season OF scare
ity and placed on the markets Of the
world to find ready sale.
TT insures the consumer a steady sup
ply of the products of orchards and
farms during the season of scarcity.
whether he is located In the midst OF
producing sections or remote from them.
Before cold storage facilities came
into use, in holding and transporting
perishabIe food products, production was
discouraged on account Of lack of mar
ket, and while at that time production
was lighter. large quantities Of these
products actually went to waste. repre-
senting vast amounts of money.
For centuries the farmer has had
practical cold storage when he has buried
his apples, potatoes, and other vegetables
In the ground and covered them over
with straw and loose earth to keep them
from freezing.
THE refrigerator OF the home has long
been necessity to the housewife said
Mr.. Hill in conclusion. "Circumscribed
and inadequate as 1t often is. neverthe-
less the residence refrigerator does on a
small scale what cold storage houses. DO

APPLE CROP PROMISING.
Trees Budding in Excellent COndt-
tlOn In Pacific Northwest.

Growers in the Pacific Northwest re-
port that the present outlook is good for
a large apple crop. and orehardists say
they win harvest a better yield than in
any previous year in the history of that
section. Heaters were used IN numerous
orchards in Washington. Idaho. Oregon.
and Montana on two or three occasions
this winter when the temperature touched
near the zero mark and it is the opinion
of expert horticulturists that few. if any
trees were injured by frost.
The warm sunshine during the last ten
days has wrought remarkable changes in
the apple and peach belts In Eastern
Washington and buds on the former are
swelling. Although blossoming will be
later than usual this year, the growers
are looking forward to immense crops
The temperature last winter did not fall
low enough to kill the buds and every
preeaution is being taken TO guard
against late frost during the spring
months.

HOLLAND HAS NO PATENT LAW.
Inventors, Writers, and SOnEsters
without Protection from Dutch.

inventors writers, ana sOuEsteFs
without Protection from Dutch.
The bureau of manufactures has re-
ceived a report from the Netherlands con-
corning the exceptional position Of that
country in not providing for patents.
II is the only one of the leading COM
mercial nations which has no patent
law. Consul General Idstee writes that
any person can copy anybody elses ma
chine or invention without restraint. and
can manufacture it and sell it in oppo-
sition TO the inventor. In fact there is
no such thing as the protection Of an in
vention OF any kind in the Netherlands.
Furthermore. there is no copyright
law. so that the writings of books of all
Dutchmen and foreigners alike can be
copied and published without restriction.
Trade marks. however. can be registered
and protected the same as In other coun-
tries.
According to the report the situation
is not as serious as 1t might appear The
population of the country is only 5.500,O 900
and the Dutch are not q manufacturing
people. When a foreigner patents an ar
tiele in other countries he generally
floods Holland with his wares at a
low price so as to prevent any one estab-
fishing a mill 10 produce the goods ia

action. bat it is equally true that Il
lies in the power of these bodies to add
or 2 cents to the price OF commodities
without any one being the wiser. and
while human nature is what 1t is and
while these small bodies of men are
shrewd business men. ii can hardly be
otherwise than that prices are some
times made higher than need be. just be-
cause they have the power to make them
So
In like manner 1t is wholly possible for
the cold storage companies TO withhold
or scatter as may suit their viii and the
probabilities of profit. AS a consequence
the inference is almost compelling that
one of the great needs of the hour IS
some control over the distributing agen-
cies of produce in this country In the
interests Of the consumer. In view OF the
facts brought out, the inference seems
fair that too much money is exacted be-
tween the point where the produce is
grown and the dinner table where it is
consumed
The debasing OF the currency by an
oversuppiy of gold is more or less an
academic question upon which men have
divergent views and which cannot be dis
cussed except through an appeal to sta
tistics. 1t may be said that the supply
of gold money has immensely increased
through the opening of the mines in
Alaska, through improved methods of
mining and smelling, and through the
discovery of the metal at various points
in this country, Mexico, and in Australia.
But while the supply of money has been
growing at fast rate, the business of the
world has grown faster, and the need for
money in exchange has increased many
fold. 1t is hardly probable. therefore,
that the cutting of the purchasing power
of the dollar in two can be ascribed TO
the imitation of the currency through in
crease in the volume OF gold. Gold is the
worlds money. and the increase Of prices
is not the same in all countries. In fact, In
Mexico, where the national finances have
been gradually coming down to the gold
basis values have become stable, and
prices of many products have decreased
during the period Of increased cost here.
All in all. the cause of high prices and
the remedy do not yet clearly appear.
though great light has been thrown upon
methods of business and means Of dis
tribution, through the Investigations Of
the subject. In time both may be ex-
peeted TO appear. and then It will be laid
upon the patriotism and courage Of the
country to apply the remedy. strike where

MILL VISIT TIE FORESTS
Bureau Sends officer to Look Into
Western Administration.
Secretary Wilson Assumes Attitude
that Use Shall Be Made of
National Reserves.

Associate Forester A f. Potter left
Washington last Thursday for trip OF
! about a month to confer with national
forest officers on the administrative
methods of the Forest Service and 10
take up with them questions of changes
in procedure considered desirable by the
Secretary OF Agriculture and the For
ester.
Mr. Potter will visit the offices OF the
district foresters at Missoula, Mont
Portland. Greg; Ogden. Utah. and Den
yer, Colo. At Missoula and Portland
he will attend meetings of all the forest
supervisors of Montana, Northern Idaho,
Oregon. and Washington. MIR. Potter will
attend the meeting at Missoula during
the early part Of the week of March q
to %, and the meeting at Portland dur
ing the latter part of the same week.
Secretary Wilson is anxious that in
applying the national forest policy the
fullest consideration compatible with the
welfare of the forests be given to users
and to persons entitled under the land
laws to patents of national forest land.
the national forests, permitted by the law
Of juno II, 1906 when the land is found
TO be actually more valuable for agricuI-
tural purposes than for its timber, is
an established part of the Forest Ser
vice work
Complaint has been made in some quar-
tiers that forest officers have shown an
excess Of zeal in opposing bona fide
claims. and that the Forest Service has
been too strict in applying the law per-
hitting agricultural settlement While
the great majority of such complaints
have been found. on investigation, to be
without just cause. Secretary Wilson re-
CARDS ii as worth while TO inquire wheth-
er any notifications OF the present pro-
cedure are called for to insure that his
wishes are actually carried out.
This does not mean that any departure
from the policies which have governed
the administration of the national forests
is contemplated. 1t may be. however.
that the details of the administrative
work require looking after in some par
ticuIars to insure that the decisions of
field officers actually apply the principles
laid down for the Forest Service. and it
is TO inquire into this matter that the
Secretary has authorized Mr.. Potter to
make his trip.
