beet SUGAR INDUSTRY,
FINE PLANT IN CHASKA

Minneapolis, November 5.-Minne-
apolis and st. Paul jobbers motored
out to the plant of the Minnesota
Sugar company, at Chaska, last
week, and spent an afternoon in
speeding the interesting process of
making beet sugar. The jobbers of
the twin cities are especially inter-
ested in this plant and have a plan
on foot to develop it's market
through their territory. Among the
jobbers who made the trip were:
Thomas Quinlan of Foley Brothers
& Kelly; ]. w. Cooper of Griggs,
Cooper & Co.; e. P. c. Harmegnies
of Griggs, Cooper & Co.; J. w.
Bragdon of Winston, Harper, Fisher
& Co.
The Minnesota Sugar company is
making this fall, it's seventh and
greatest run. 1t has never before
had such an offering of fine beets. 1t
expects to make record production
of sugar and to market it all about
as fast as made.
Has $1,000, 1000 Invested.
While only seven years old, the
plant already represents an outlay
large sum of money to lay down in
a little town in Minnesota on the
faith that Minnesota farmers could
be induced to raise sugar beets in
sufficient quantities to make the
plant pay.
The faith and the money were
found and the plant was built. The
present owners and operators are
C. T. Fenton, president; George A
Dutoit, a Chaska banker, vice presi
dent; II. A. Douglas, treasurer; f
C. Hicks, secretary, all of whom are
confident of the future of the beef
sugar industry in Minnesota. Mr.
Fenton said on the occasion of this
visit that his company had already
in this season paid out 100000 ir
cash for sugar beets and would
pay out 100000 before the seasol
closes. One hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars of this will go to the
farmers and laborers of Carver coun
ty, in which the plant is located.

sugar factories in the west.
Process of Making Sugar.
| The process of making beet sugar
is simply tnau Of taking in beets
at one end of a long building ant
pouring sugar into bag at thu
other end. Hours intervene between
the beet in it's native state ant
when separated into sugar and ref
use. During those hours it under
goes many delicate processes. The
beets are received just as the farm
err dumps them from their wagons
They are rushed down long 1um'
into a factory, hoisted by heav!
screws to a washing machine, which
soon make them cleaner than i
they had ben carefully washed by
hand. Another hoist and the beet:
are delivered to a slicing machine

FRUIT GROWERS
WANT LAW INFORCED
Special to The Net1s.

Sp6Ctdt 10 1He N6Ws.
Washington, March 25.-The apple
growers have been trying to get the
Committee on Coinage, Weights and
Measures to establish standards for
the apple pack, and just before he re-
signed DR.. Wiley was appealed to by
committee from the New York Pro
duce Exchange to help devise a plan
to establish uniformity in lemons.
The Western apple growers do their
utmost to put out packages, each con-
tanning a definite number of perfectly
sound apples. The growers of Vir-
ginia have improved their English mar
ket by improving their pack.
In similar manner the California
packers of oranges and lemons put up
fruit which as a rule is strictly up to
grade. But the members of the New
York Produce Exchange complain that
boxes of Sicily lemons for years have
been running irregularly in count and
HOT Ill COulOlIllly Win ChC olAOo
marked on the boxes. This, it Is con-
TENDED, is misbranding and falls with
in the province of that provision of
the Pure Food Law, which provides
against the misbranding Of any article
of food, not only as to quality but as
to count. 1t is regarded as deception
| BY interior dealers who have COM
planned loudly, The New York Pro-
duce Exchange Committee instructed
to take up this matter made a strong
representation before the Pure Food
Board.
While the country is consuming
large quantities of the Sicily lemons
referred to, it may be as well to say
that the lemon crop of California this
year has been exceeded but twice in
the history of the industry, despite the
fact that some damage was caused by
frost, the crop being estimated at be-
tween 5000 and $500 carloads, and OF
the finest quality.

LAWRENCE STRIKE
IS NOW SETTLED
Net Advance of Ten Percent Accepted
BY operatlves-eoods Ad-
vance.

Boston, March 25.-The great Law
renee strike which brought in its train
increased wages for 275,O00 textile
workers in New England, was declar-
ed off officially at all the mills in Law
renee yesterday, having accomplished
it's purpose, in the opinion of the lead
ers.
In this connection it is believed gen
orally that advances in wages or re-
duction in hours to paper mill en-
ployees, bagging and burlap workers,
machinists and operatives in other in
dustries are all traceable directly or
indirectly to the movement which had
it's origin in Lawrence The total num-
Der of persons thus to benefit is con
siderably upward of 100000,
Advances in the price of woolen and
cotton goods which have been made
or which are in prospect, probaly viii
place upon the ultimate consumer
much of the burden of the additional
cost to the textile manufacturers. This
will aggregate between $4,000, 600
and $12,000,000 during the next year,
nouncing the advances in prices have
said frankly that the upward trend in
the result of wage increases.
The rise in the price of cotton goods
announced up is comparatively small,
a fraction of a cent yard in most
cases. but selling agents predict that
the net advance to the retailer may
ultimately reach 2 cents yard. Some
increased prices also have been quot
ed on wooden goods, and dealers free
ly predict higher prices for next
season.
New Bedford, where the manufac
turers of the finer grades of cottoI
goods have refused to accede to thu
3 demands of their employees for an ad
l ditional per cent has displaced Law
r renee as the center of interest in tn,
: textile situation. Unless the mill own
y ers give the increase demanded withil
= a few days, it is feared strike o
4 from 25,000 to 10000 operatives vii
follow. While an increase Of 5 pc
r cent has been offered, the New Bee
l. ford operatives are insistent that the
y receive 10 per cent. Secretary De
= voll of the Manufacturers Associate
= has promised the mill owners will de
eide early in the week whether thi
a will be granted. The suggestion ha

O of Z 1-2 per cent be given, with

Library Board Holds Meeting.

The Public Library Board met
last week one evening at the home
Mrs. Harry Humrichouser, and plans
were laid for the gathering together
of the money that is soon to become
due on subscriptions to the fund,
and otherwise. The purchase of the
lot will then be contaminated, and
the Board will be in position to re-
port the plans for the building, and
the money to be donated by Mr..
Carnegie will be available.
The donations on the subscription
for purchase of lot were arranged
to be paid in installments, running
through two years, and the limit
will be reached March 1st, when
each subscriber should have IN
money In the hands of the board.
The Board will issue notice of their
desire for this to be paid in prompt
" on or before that time, and of
course every person having his name
on the list will be expected to res
pond, unless he has already done So
Many have inquired why the
Board was doing nothing. There was
nothing to do until this subscrip-
ton list was paid in, hence they had
to wait for the limit of time, and
now that this is drawing near, the
Board is getting every thing in
order for the speedy consummation
of the end desired.
With the interest that is being
taken by the officers of the township
outside the city proper, and with q
prompt payment of subscriptions as
signed, there is no reason why the
work should not move forward with
rapid strides, and if every one will
boost, and not knock, Plymouth will
soon see a handsome building that
will be a credit to the towr, and an
important factor In the upward
tendency that is manifest in all de-
partments of the city.

SOUTH BEND, LAPORTE MEN
Both Cities Have Prospective Homer
ables Who Could Be Induced TO
Go After the Nomina-
ton.
South Bend Tribune.

The congressional situation in this
district gives strong indications at
this time of much confidence on the
pArt of republicans that they viii
be able to carry the district and
thereby send a republican congress
man to Washingto,, in place of Hon
H. A. Barnhart, Of Rochester, who
now occupies the position.
The latest information Is to the
effect that Hon. ,'ssse Eschbach, of
Warsaw, is expo Z to soon an
nounce his car lacy. Mr.. Esch-
bach is a native OF Warsaw, where
he was born July %, 1875. He serv-
ed as representative from Kosciusko
county in the 65th general assembly
and also in the Goth session. He Is
engaged In the practice of law in
Warsaw and is one of the leading
republicans Of that part of the dis.
trict. 1t is stated that he is being
backed by Perry Smith, chairman Of
the republican committee in Kos
eiusko county. Mr.. Eschbach is
said to be committed to county local
option. He was the republican lead
err in the last house.
Interest In the Eschbach boom
seems to be rather strong in his
home county of Kosciusko. his
friends are claiming that Kosciuskc
was the only county which stood by
Charles W. Miller in the latter q
congressional aspirations in 1905
and also stood loyslly by John L.
Norman who made the race for con
gress in 1910. Chairman Smith, Of
that county, is credited with con-
trolling the southern part of the dis
tr;ct and as he is said to be back OF
