The present condition of the sugar
market seems to be very favorable to
the expansion and development CT the
beet sugar industry in this country
The war has curtailed the worlds pro-
duction of sugar and the consumption
appears to be increasing. This has re-
suited in the highest prices in many
years and existing conditions are like
ly to continue as long as the great war
lasts and for couple years at least.
The retention of the tariff on sugar is
a further protection and incentive to
development of the beet sugar indus
try.
The Utah and Colorado beet sugar
interests have been especially active
during the last few months in investi-
eating soils and climatic conditions in
different sections of the Pacific North
west with the view of locating several
new factories.
Hamilton, Montana, is one of the
first points decided upon for one of
these new institutions. The Hamilton
chamber of commerce started a cam
paign to secure such an enterprise a
long time ago and upon its securing
contracts for the cultivation of approx
imately 10000 acres of sugar beets In
that vicinity and offering to donate a
suitable site, a party of Salt Lake
sugar men has recently entered into
an agreement to construct factory
there with daily capacity Of at least
500 tons and to have it ready for OPP
Grafton by September 1, 1917.
The Inauguration Of the beet grow
ing industry in that section will mean
a new era for the people Of the Bitter
Root. Already they have taken the
lead in Montana in the production OF
butter fat. The cultivation of the
sugar beet and the dairy industry &c
hand in hand. The firm establishment
of these two great industries In the
Bitter Root valley means increased
prosperity for all its inhabitants.
Another factory is likely at Missouls
and there are prospects for another al
Poison or at some point on the Flat
head reservation.

1t is an accepted business maxim
that IF the steel business is good, all
other lines are good" and the truth
of this maxim is again being demon
strated, Notwithstanding the fact that
the present activity and prosperity in
steel and allied business is, in part
at least, due to abnormal conditions.
But the important fact is that the
steel business is good and will con-
tinue good for several years, even
though peace should come tomorrow
and nearly all other lines Of business
are responding nobly. The market on
steel is not dependent on the war; IL
is essentially an industrial market for
peaceful purposes, and it is pretty GER
tain to continue active for several
years after peace is declared.

WILSON FOR WAR
0NLyASLASTRESORT
WOULD SACRIFICE POLITICAL
FORTUNES IN ORDER TO
DEAL JUSTLY.
GREAT SPEECH AT NEW YORK
Says He Is Beseeched on All Sides
Not to Plunge Nation Into Con-
flict-Honor In First Place
Deplores Thought of War.

New York.-President Wilson made
it plain in his speech at the New
York Press club banquet recently
that he will not countenance a war
with Mexico unless there is no 9th
err alternative for settling the border
troubles.
Again he declared that he was
ready to sacrifice his own political
fortunes in order to carry out his
convictions as to what would be the
just course to pursue in the situation.
The presidents audience, composed
of newspaper men, state and mufici-
pal political leaders and others prom
inent in public life, signified their
Endorsement of his positions by re-
peated outbursts of applause. When
he asked if the glory of America
would be enhanced by a war of con-
quest in Mexico, shouts of mo" came
from all parts of the banquet hall. A
similar response was made to his
query whether it is Americas duty
to carry self-defense to the point of
dictation into the affairs of another
people"
Hears Voice Of People.
The president dwelt also on his eff
forts to serve the whole people, thou
sands of whom, he said, are appeal
ing to him to maintain peace as long
as possible.
81 have constant yto remind my
SELF" he said, that l am not the
servant of those who wish to en-
nance the value of their Mexican in
vestments, but that I am the servant
of the rank and file of the people of
the United States"
cambridge Colby, who placed Theo-
dore Roosevelt in nomination for the
presidency, at the progressive con-
vention at Chicago, paid President
Wilson high tribute, but did not de-
clare unqualifiedly that he would sup
port him in the coming campaign, as
it was reported he would do.
President Wilson arose from his
seat and shook hands with Mr. Col
by as he finished speaking. Mayor
John P. Mitchell, Ralph Pulitzer and
Irwin S. Cobb also spoke. The pres
idential party that included Mrs. will
son occupied seats in the balcony.
Speech at Philadelphia.
Philadelphia.-Pre Wilson, de.
scribing himself as "in a fighting
mood" enunciated on June 80 to a
large crowd in Independence square
his conception Of some of the car
dinal American ideals. He declared
that America, in dealing with other
nations, must "vindicate at whatever
cost" its principles of liberty, JUS
tice and humanity; that America
first" must be translated into action
exalting it above all selfish interests
and that the nations policy and de
velopment must be guided by the
whole people and not by any small
group.

day and holding the lines yesterday the
Ebbetites are preparing to regain their
lost ground by being returned winners in
the two contests today.
In the meantime Pat Moran's wrecking
crew, from "Slumbertown." having
swamped the Brooklynites in their first
assault are consolidating their entire
forces and positions TO get an armor
plate hold on pennantville.
In Thursdays mortal combat the Dod-
gers played anything but like champion
ship team. The nine assaulting waves
that the Phillies hurled against their
lines overwhelmed them and they retired
to bolster up their defenses for the other
conflicts.
Two games will be played today. the
first in the morning and the second this
afternoon. A drizzling rain fell doing the
morning yesterday and when the two
teams took the field they were playing
on a mud soaked course. Eppa RiXey

Here is the way they figure the Giants
