GOVERNMENT IS
LENDING HAND TO
SUGAR BEET MEN
Experts investigate Soil Con-
ditions; Seed Problem is
Solved in California
BY c. s. ALBERT.
Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence }

Especial Star-Bulletn Correspondence J
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. THE
department of agriculture is working
to make the culture of sugar beets
more profitable, and thereby more ex.
States. Experts on the subject say
that this country could produce enough
sugar 5eets to make all the sugar re-
quired for domestic purposes, and
quite a quantity in addition for ex-
porting, reversing the present status
in which four-ffths of the nation s
sugar is imported.
To this end a survey is being made
of the sugar beet sections by a corps
of collaborators and experfmenter5
who will meet here some time this
winter and compile their information
This printed assistance to interested
farmers will be supplemented by per
sonal assistance Of government agents
This aid by the government is expect
ed to boost the industry even more
than since the outbreak of war, by
reason Of an increased price for sugar
and the discovery at Rocky Ford, Cali
fornia, of way to produce beet seed
which, prior to last year. came from
Germany chiefly.
Enough seed was produced at
Rocky Ford not only for the needs
of the present year but for a good part
OF next years needs. No further ap-
prehenson on that side Of the industry
is expected for the future.
An increase in factories is expected
to be necessary to make up this years
crop Of beetS. Sixtysix factories are
ready to begin operations and plans
for others have been made.

since the world war began horses
have never been so high priced AS
illustrations, he says that an animal
a year and half old brings as much
as 700 forms ($2Sl1, and that . con-
demned stallion was recenely sold for
f$442.) The evident cause for these
high prices is the great demand for
horses from the present war.

The new law makes the elections of City clerk, attorney, mayor and treasurer direct by the people possible if the people so de sire. A special election is necessary to secure the opinion of the voters. The election of the new city council in Seward will take place on April 4, or in about one hundred days.

BELIEVE IT IS
 CHRISTIE BODY
DRAGGING FOR SUPPOSED VIC TIM OF KRAUSE THEY STRIKE
 A LIKELY OBJECT.

JUNEAU, Dec. 2S. - The men searching for the body of William Christie, who is supposed to have been murdered by Edward Krause' yesterday came across an object which they believe to be ihe object of their gruesome quest. They hook ed an object which was so heavily weighted that it tore from the hook, and tore in a way that makes them think the hook was caught in cloth. This happened at the point where 1t would be most likely that Christie met his death if he had been murder ed by the man who is now in jail waiting for the recovery of the body to stand trial for murder. 1t is now reported that watch has been found in the effects of Krause which was previously sold to Captain Plunkctt by local dealers. The search for the bodies of Christie and Plunkett is proceeding energetically and some result may be reached today if the object struck yesterday is what the searchers believe it to be.

Owing to the fact that it is the most northerly settle ment with an open port all the year around it is thought that many un- necessary delays and long sea journeys can be avoided by establish ing a supply base there.

KING HORSE KICKS AUTO
 OFF HIS CHICAGO HOME

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-Chicago to- day is the greatest horse market in the world. More than 100000 horses have sold for $12,OOO,OOO through the local market in the last six months. The European wars demand for ar tillery and cavalry mounts is respor- sible for this return of King Horse to the throne from which the automobile spilled him.
 Demands from Mexico have added not little to the buisness in horses here. At first, agents for the Euro pean governments were secretive about purchases. Everyone knew horses were being bought but few persons ever saw the agents. It was while the allies agents were buying incognito that the record sale of T. O31 horses in one week was made, in November, 1914. Now the agents buy openly. During the week end ing November 6, 5000 horses were sold. In the same period 2 years ago S29 horses was considered a good number to sell per week. From 5000 to 4,00O horses sold weekly these days, is an average.
 The horses bring S12O to S240 a head, $25O being paid for artillery horses. Draft horses sell for from $2OO to $500 a head; $500 being paid for horses of between 1850 to 1,750 pounds. There have been innumer- able spy scares at the yards and vigorous measures of protection have been adopted, but there have been no arrests.
