SUGAR Mems Answer.

Milwaukee, Wis, March 5.-The
answer of beet sugar manufacturers
of America to the plan of the tariff
revision proposed by the democratic
revenue bill, which would abolish the
tariff on sugar entirely, is contained
in statement made before a confer
ence of beet sugar manufacturers by
c. C. Hamlin, chairman of the United
States beet sugar industry, in which
lie declared that the defeat of the bill
will mean the investment during the
next five years of at least $25,O0OO 900
in new factories in all parts of the
country, with an added expenditure
of $25,O00000 a year in payments to
farmers who raise sugar beets for
these factories. If the tariff is cut
the beet sugar men will be obliged to
abandon all attempts to extend the
industry and the farmers who now
sell sugar beets as one of their most
profitable crops will be forced to ac-
cept cut prices or stop beet raising.

Wants LIGHT On Contract.

Norfolk, Neb, March Editor
News: | noted in the issue of the
2Sth of The News that there is anoth-
er controversy on between the mayor
and the city council on account of the
contract awarded Mr.. Bridge for fur
nishing power for pumping the city
water; the council have openly jump
ed at the conclusion the price offered
is cheaper than it is being done at
present. Please advise us what the
city council bases their conclusion on.
How do they know it is cheap? How
many 100 or 1000 k. W. per day is it
going to take. Who knows? 1t Is
funny with the experience they had
with a former contract of this nature,
that they should want to jump into an
other without apparently knowing
anything whatever about what they
are doing, only that Mr.. Bullock said
the price was a surprise to him, and
very cheap. The mayor is certainly
right in the position he has taken.
Why can't the taxpayers know what
they are being loaded up with. Let
us have a little light on the subject
before this contract is made.
And Old Timer.

RUSSIA,S REAL YELLOW PERIL
Drifting Sands Make Desert Of 1000

Every Year.

The great enemy comes from the
east Our yellow peril does not ap-
pear In human shape. 1t comes In
much more dangerous and insinuating
form than Mongol invasion. Slowly
but surely 1t is advancing upon US and
lts vanguard has already reached the
gates OF Kieff."
Thus spoke some years ago, Viadi-
mir Solovitch, the well-known Russian
scientist, who foresaw the danger to
Russian agriculture of the drifting
masses OF sand which are being stead
lily blown across some of the most
fertile parts of Southern Russia.
The urgent nature Of the danger is
once more emphasized by General
Mistchenko, the commander-in-chfef
or the Don Cossacks, who has made
report to the st. Petersburg govern
ment In which he points out that
every year 1000 square miles of fertile
land in the Don Province and 1900
square miles In the government Of
Astrakhan are being swallowed up by
the invader and rendered unfit for
cultivation.
During the past year, the drifting
masses have done the greatest damage
within living memory. One large agri-
cultural colony in the Don region has
had to emigrate in a westward direc,
ton for the fourth time in fifty years

IL was discovered that some of the
