BEET FACTORY MAY BE BUILT.

: The prospects of northern Mon
tana securing a sugar beet factory
were given a decided boost by the
announcement last week by che
Great Western Sugar company that
the erection of factory is being
considered in the vicinity OF Great
Falls.
This step on the part of one of
the largest beet sugar concerns in
the United States shows that
they are keenly alive and watching
development of this part of the state
and the erection OF factory at
Great Falls will not hinder the selec-
tion of a place in the Milk River val
ley to: build another factory. 1t
proves conclusively that the COM
panies are satisfied that northern
Montana sugar beets can be success
fully grown and used in the manu-
facture; of beet sugar. Il.
The plans of the company at pres
ent are that they expect to open of
fees in Great Falls within the next
50 days and one OF the special rep
resentatives of the agricultural de-
partment of the company will be
sent there to take charge of the
planting, cultivation and harvesting
ct 1000 acres Of sugar beets.
The beets will be manufactured
into sugar at the Billings plant of
the company and the farmers who
grow them will be given exactly the
same price for their beets as the far
nlers of the Billings country, freight
to- the factory being borne by the
Great Western company.
There are contingencies, as is al
ways the case in anything that must
he in the future. For example, there
is the matter of the tariff on sugar,
(which, if it gets no worse, will not
hinder the development. The ques-
ton of climate has also been con-
sidered, but since beets are grown
successfully in Canada that point
is overcome. The only reason that
lis entitled to serious consideration
is the element of uncertainty in get
ting the seed for planting, and that
is a serious menace to the PROPOSE
zion. There is reasonable ground,
however, to believe that this will be
overcome, for the Great Western
lis spending thousands of dollars to
overcome the trouble with consider
able assurance of success.
The plans of the company are that
1000 acres will be planted this year
to determine the location of fac
tory. After having decided upon
the location, a site will be purchas-
ed and a factory built capable of
handling from 600 to 700 tons of
beets daily, and it might be as high
las 500 tons, but not larger
In the cultivation of the 1000
acres the company wants it to be
fall plowed land and that the farm
ers are to follow instructions as to
planting, cultivation and harvesting
Of the beets.

A brother of Mrs Schoenborne
and Nile Smith was brought from
Harlem on the belated Skidoo yes

brother to this place.
Mrs. F. w. St. Hill was taken to

tion will be successful and that she
will soon return to Malta in her for
mer good health.
Parties from Zortman bring in
the word that Frank Baker, one of
the men at the Coburn ranch, had
his feet so badly frozen during the
recent cold spell that he was taken
to that place where he was forced
to submit to an operation to remove
the frozen members. We under
stand he was looking after some
sheep for the Coburn Cattle Co. and
was out day and night.

Given in Their Honor at Pho
neer Hotel Saturday Night
On Saturday morning of last week
the Bachelor Girl club of this city
went to Dodson in response to an
invitation from Miss Robertson to
spend the day with her. When the
people of our neighboring city heard
that the bachelor maidens were
coming they planned a dance in
their honor for that night. Miss
Robertson took the young ladies to
the Pioneer Hotel where she was
ably assisted at entertaining by Mr..
and Mrs. Jones. At noon a sump-
tuous repast was served to twenty
one guests at special table which
was appropriately decorated with
the club colors, purple and gold.
In the evening a large number of
the Dodson eligibles, eager to meet
the Malta ladies, thronged the hotel
and several hours were spent in
dancing. intersperced with music by
the Bachelor Girl club and the Dod-
son boys, who also gave an enthu-
siastic yell in honor of the visitors
Miss Ryan scored a big success as
floor manager. Refreshments were
served at midnight and the crowd
dispersed. The Bachelor Girl club
has never had more thoroughly
enjoyable time and consider Miss
Robertson and the Dodson people
the best of entertainers.

tion of warning to Americans ant

Congressman Slemp, Republican,
declared yesterday he would vote foi

Senators Swanson and Martin, in
addition to voting yesterday to de.

overnight will probably be in favor
Of the President.
Congressman Slemp, Republican,
stated that the action of the SEN

thing, which he doubted, it was that
the Senate did not approve the Presi-

President got all that he asked.

RAIDER CAPTURED?
Uncertain Press Dispatches From
Montevideo Contain Conflicting
Versions.

Buenos Aires, March 4.-Press dis
patches from Montevideo says that a
steamer arriving from Europe inter
cepted near the coast Of Brazil, wire
less message stating that British
cruisers had captured the German
auxiliary Moewe.
There. is some doubt, however, as
to the identity of the German vessel
reported to have been captured. An
other version of the account is that
the vessel in question is the German
cruiser Room.
The American steamer Santa Bar,
cara has arrived at Montevideo, her
captain making the announcement
that French cruiser. which put out
from Dakar, on the west coast of
Africa, encountered German raid
er, name not given, and opened fire
on her. Under cover OF darkness the
German ship got away. She was. how
ever, damaged on her upper works
by the French fire.
1t is said the captured raider was
taken to the Island of Trinidad. The
news relative to the Mocwe was com
municated to the Uruguayan news
papermen by the commanders of the
American steamer Santa Barbara ant
| the Swedish steamer AXel-J ohnson
| under promise that the news shoult
not be published. The commanders o,
the steamers declared also that rhi

Atlantic had been increased with tn
purpose of running down suspec
warships. The commanders decline

FEARFUL SLAUGHTER
Regiment After Regiment of Teu-
tons Smothercd BY Heavy Artii-
lery Fire of Allies.

London. March 4.-French troops
under Gen. Petain have blocked every
German attempt to capture Pepper
Heights, north of Verdun, by a flank
attack, according to Paris dispatches
today.
Driven out of Douaumont village.
General Petain is making stand
around the strong rcdoubt less than
mile southwest of Douaumont.
Here the French have repulsed with
heavy losses successive charges by
Germans who hope to penetrate the
French front and to cut off the de-
tenders Of Pepper Heights. The
battle around Verdun has been re-
sumcd.
Fighting is as fierce as on the early
days of the crown princes drive.
The Germans are wasting lives law
ishly, rolling up regiment after regi-
ment to smother French artillery fire.
Delayed dispatches from Paris adj
nit that the Germans are holding
practically all of Douaumont village,
but report desperate fighting on the
western outskirts.
Renewed attacks on the village of
Vaux, are being made preliminary to
a grand assault on Fort de VauH,
just to the south.
The French We're driven out OF
Douaumont village after hot infan-
try fighting that began on Wednes-
day night and continued for more
than % hours.
Probably no more furious struggle
has been waged in the history of the
war. for possession of a little group
of less than IS houses, The village is
the intersecting point Of three high
ways.
After an alI-day bombardment, the
gray line crept through the ravines
just north of Douaumont, just at
dusk, At the same time another Ger
man column advanced along a little
brook, leading to the village of Vaux.
French illuminating bombs cast II
ghastly light upon the advancing
Germans. French artillery cut through
the first lines and. under Il sudden
counter-attack, the gray front broke
and fell back after few hours fight
ing.
During the night the Germans
brought up masses of reserves. AT
dawn. Brandenburg and Pomeranian
regiments renewed the assault against
Douaumont.

As was stated yesterday, Senator
Vardaman. OF Mississippi will be at
the Richmond Theatre at 2:30 o'clock

The Senator needs no introduction to

Mississippisn will doubtless have a
large and appreciative audience to
welcome him on his second visit to

given no visible sign lit. word reach &c: n I
es his county some mysterious way
and he is promptly deluged Witt
threats against his political career,
appeals ta his religion, and the like
from the organized forces in MS coah-
Tvs It constitutes a reign of terror for
the tinlid and ambitious members.
Nor do they escape even When
THE House is in session. At every sign
of- danger, such. for example, as aftsr
the speeches of Lee, Bryant and 1,yd
iings on Wednesday night, the agents
and messengers of Dr. Hale hurry
thftl1ers and thither all over the cham
ber sumnoning members to confer
ences and admonitions outside or
even on the floor itself. Rarely if ever
did even the most powerful political
@boss" control his men in q moro au-
5tocratic way than does DR.. Hare. He
is the big figure at Annapolis, whose
power is feared by all the politicians
both great and small. When he
spcalzes, all such things as platform
pledges, conservation economy, use
less offices, fiscal reform, deficits, cdu-
cation care of the sick and insane,
pale into insignifcance in the minds
of the politicians.
But there is another reason besides
oysters that makes the politicians
pause, look and listen, before they.
take the step Of forcing nominal
prohibition on Baltimore. There are
very many local measures that are
yet to pass, many appropriations that
are to be made to the counties for
institutions, roads and numerous oth-
er things. The city delegation is unit
cd, determined and in a fighting hum
OF, It's members openly threaten that
rather than have Baltimore throttlcd
and crippled by,Somerset and Garrett
they will filibuster to the last not
only on the prohibition bill, but on
every other measure that interests
the counties that are attempting to
DO the crippling. They declare that
they will force the reading in full of
every bill on its final passage and if
necessary filibuster against the ap-
preparation bills which might necessi-
tate an extra session.
The city men declare that they are
desperate and will so block the wheels
of legislation as to make a worse
mess of the administration measur-.
es thar has already been made. They
can do all this if they see fit, and
they declare that they will. 1t is
enough to make even the prohibition
forces pause and ponder.
All that the city is asking is that
prohibition and conhscation shall not
be forced upon it against it's will and
the delegation declares that it will
fight it out on that line if it takes. all
summer.
