RAILROAD LEGISLATION

On re opening this week for bust
ness, congress will meet the long ar
gued railroad question, and it is
feared an extra session will result
from the middle into which the sit
uation has evolved. President Will
Ison is recommending measures to
supplement the Adamson law, which
was to take effect the first of the
year. The supreme court will soon
decide on the constitutionality Of the
Adamson law, and it seems quite
probable it will be declared too big
bite. The railroad brotherhoods OPP
pose the presidents new proposals,
which would make strikes impos-
sible pending period of arbitration.
Senator Newlands is chairman Of the
committee which will take up these
matters, and delegates from interest
ed organizations and the public are
invited to appear before the commit
tee to state their views.

THE SUGAR INDUSTRY IN UTAH
AND IDAHO; PARTICULARLY
IN BINGHAM COUNTY

The beet sugar industry of Utah
and Idaho has been one of the main
factors in the development of the
farming communities of these states.
This Is especially true In Bingham
county and in the country tributary
to Blackfoot.
From very small beginnings in 1902
AMI 1903 the industry has grown,
until in 1916 1868 acres were
planted into sugar beets for the
Blackfoot factory and in Utah and
Idaho over $4,000 acres were used
for this crop.
The machinery Of Is factories and
the services Of 5000 men are re-
quired to transform the mountains
of sugar beets grown by our farm
ers into snow white crystals of sugar.
Next year there will be at least
five more factories added to those
operating in this tremendous indust-
ry.
The season this year has been on
the whole unfavorable for all crops,
and the beet crop has suffered as
much as my. The planting condi-
lions, were ideal in the spring. but
the crop was barely out of the ground
before an unprecedented frost de-
scended upon it with Tightening re-
suits. The sturdiness of the beet
plants, however, enabled most of
them to rally and a fair crop re-
suited. During the harvesting of
the crop unfortunately there was an
other record breaking period of frost
which reduced the harvest, and there
are still some beets in the ground
which have not been dug.
The Blackfoot district has been
more fortunate than some others in
this respect, and prospects for 1917
look extremely faforable.
The farmers bureaus Of Utah and
Idaho have accepted the Sugar Com
panies offer of $500 per ton for
beets for 1917, and a record break
ing acreage will be planted accord
ing to al predictions. as this price
is the highest paid in the United
States for beets, after freight and
conditions are considered.
For the first time in history the
United States will produce one half
of the sugar it consumes. The beet
sugar production alone will be over
100000 tons, and in these times of
high prices, it may interest the con-
sumner to know, that the beet sugar
crop has Deen the factor, which has
kept sugar prices down. Average
prices of sugar since 1860 show that
without the influence of the beet
sugar crop we would now be paying
from IL to Is cents per pound for
sugar

TWO GOVERNORS IN ARIZONA
PLAY GAME OF FREEZE OUT

Phoenix, Arizona, Is the scene of
strange discord. Two men claim to
be governor of the state and their
hackers are in earnest. Governor
G. w. P. Hunt, Democrat, holds over
by means of the lockout system,
although he was declared defeated
by 80 votes on official count of the
ballots. Governor-elect, Thomas e.
Campbell. Republican. was formally
inaugurated in the open air amid
enthusiasm. but was prevented from
occupying the governors office by
deputy sheriff.
Governor Hunt Is contesting the
election Of Campbell on grounds of
fraudulent balloting. The courts are
investigating. and in the meantime
he proposes to hold down the job.
Governor Campbell said: "My office
is the saddle. I am governor of
Arizona. My desk will be at the
capitol in the morning and will be
on the job"
1t appears to be unique game of
hunt the governor. 90

FAMINE AT MALAD

A rich old newspaper at Malad,
The Idaho Enterprise, announces that
with the turn of the new year 1t
drops from its subscription list all
its patrons who are in arrears. The
high cost Of paper and the universal
desire Of publishers to curtail the
unnecessary use of it, account for the
move.
The American Press Association
cites an example Of newspaper in
Louisiana that has been making a
profit of 100000 a year on its plant
and it now faces loss of a million
dollars for the current year, caused
by the advance in the cost Of paper.
The management hasn't many more
millions to lose, and is puzzled to
know what to do.

64O.ACRE LAW NOW IN EFFECT

Official word has been received at
the United States land office at Boise,
that the 640-acre grazing homestead
law has become effective. There was
considerable Misrepresentation that
the act had become law some
months ago, when it was passed by
the house of representatives, but 1t
was amended in the senate and did
not receive the sanction of the presi-
dent at the time anticipated.
The land office has been instruct
ed to receive applications for entry
under the law. They should be
accompanied with petitions for des-
ignation and these will be suspended
pending the examination of the land
and it's designation by the geological
survey.
1t will probably be year or more
before entry may be made under the
law, in the opinion of officials of the
land office. he law applies to lands
unsuitable for any purpose other than
grazing.

Even with sugar at present prices
say about cents per pound it is
one of the cheapest foods we have,
providing more food energy for its
cost than almost any other article Of
food which the housewife, can buy.
1t should be used literally in every
household.
The people of Blackfoot do not
need any reminder of the good that
the SUGAR factory of the Utah-Idaho
Sugar Company does for the town.
It's payroll is one of the constant
supports of the merchants of our
city, it's taxes help provide for our
public welfare, and it's employees are
constant boosters for the develop
ment of Blackfoot and of Bingham

IDAHO RAISED LESS
GRAIN FOR MORE CASH

The government crop report for
1916, dated December 10, has several
interesting features. In the United
States as a whole, but little more
than half the amount of wheat was
raised this year that is credited to
1915, and the price per bushel is al
most double, being $1.60 for 1915
and about 80 cents for 1915.
Idaho raised 1901, 900 bushels of
wheat in 1915, and in December was
receiving STAG per bushel A good
deal of wheat was sold at much
higher rates earlier in the season.
Corn, oats, barley and rye show a
shrinkage in the number of acres,
and a raise in price, corresponding
with the general condition over the
country.
Potatoes sold for more than dou-
BILE last years price, and also show
an increase in production, with ~
900 acres, compared to $4,000 last
year. ~
With slightly less production, hay
in Idaho sold for nearly twice the
last year price. In 1915 the ton
price was $40; December 1, 1915,
it was 1910 per ton.
Sugar beets used 10000 more
acres than last year, produced 81
900 more tons, and brought $5.78.
1 his figure will be raised by the bon
us payments that have been made
since December 1. In 1915 the Dec
ember price was $5.0S per ton.
This year almost all the fruit was
lost by late freezing, but $4,000
barrels of apples were raised and
brought $3.42. In 1915 Idaho pro-
duced $4,000 barrels, and received
.l.55 a barrel. There are no esti-
mates quoted for peaches or pears.
