SUGAR ACREAGE is
WEALTH PRODUCER

During the recent tour of the Salt
Lake boosters, J. w. Timpson of the
Utah-Idaho Sugar company was the
principal speaker at each town for
the Wizard of the Wasatch carnival
Mr.. Timpson is one of the best post
ed men on the subject of the crops
of southern Idaho, particularly Is
reference to the beet sugar industry
In discussing the latter business whils
the train was passing through an es
pecially fertile section, he said:
eve are going through the upper
Snake river valley, the district of
which there are 1000 acres planted
ITO sugar beets. Since the establish
ment Of the sugar industry in this
part of the country the Utah-Idaho
Sugar company has paid out to the
farmers for beets between $4,000. 900
and $10,000.0OO; their land has been
more than doubled in value, and this
benefit coupled with the fact that
the farmers have been educated to
a better standard of farming, lends
additional seriousness to the attitude
of the present administration in its
policy on the sugar question. The
abolition of the tariff on sugar, while
It may reduce the price of the prod
uct temporarily to certain extent,
would be more than offset by the
effect of continued operation of the
beet sugar industry by the advan-
tages that could and would come
from the employment and use of
large quantities of money and labor.
If the administrators present pol
icy is continued, it is more than like,
ly that the operation of the sugar
companies will be decreased, with s
consequent direct effect upon the far
mer, as we'll as the business man and
the consumer"

UNLUCKY FRIDAY

On Friday a malignant fate is
said to threaten us with woe: to
do us i'll it lies in wait, or shadows
us where'er we go. On Friday, il
a ship should sail, the seamen
shake their heads and sigh; twill
be>the sport of every gale, and all
on board will surely die. Yet
many stately ships come back all
sound from keelson to the truck
they sailed along their stormy
track without sign of evil luck.
If you begin an enterprise on Fri
day, it will peter out: thus speak
the prophets hoar and wise, who
think they know what they're
about. Yet many enterprises win
which on a Friday were begun,
and those concerned take in the
tin. the kale and other brands of
mon. To me a Friday seems as
sleek as any other kind of day ;
the same old fish are in the creek,
the sun shines on, the same old
way. On Monday last ] fell and
split my person clear up to my
neck. on Tuesday morn | had fit,
on Thursday ] was but a wreck.
But Friday finds me all serene, my
griefs and woes have taken wing .
I sip pint of gasoline and then l
smile and dance and sing.

HEAVY FOG ON RIVER.
Steamboat Men Report Difficulty il
Early Morning Navigation.

When Washington awoke this morning
it found itself wrapped in the thickest
fog blanket that has prevailed this win
ter, and while the streets uptown were
comparatively clear by about 8 o'clock, on
the river and along the wharves the fog
remained heavy until nearly noon. Steam
boat men who were on the river report
the mist so thick that the nagpoles Of
the steamers could lust be made out by
the men in the pilothouses. and objects
on the river hundred feet away could
not be seen at all.
In consequence steamers due here early
this morning were several hours late in
arriving, but no accidents were reported.
Steamboat men look for fogs at this
season of the year. and. while they cause
them much anxiety and loss Of Sleep they
