Like Christmas ahead OF time,
checks for 1894 1927 are in process
of distribution to the sugar beet
growers of the BiIIings-LovelI dis
trict, which includes Sidney, and
Sun River and Milk River sections,
also, from the Great Western SUI
gar company, the distribution
including the final bonus, S1.Of
a ton on the beet crop OF 1928 and
the initial payment on the beet
deliveries of the 1924 harvest.
The bonus brings the price paid
on the 1928 crop up to $9.01 a ton,
slightly more than paid in any other
district, as the price is paid on the
highest sugar content of the Mon
tana beets.
The total of the bonus checks
foots up $245,549, and the initial
payment will be $349,078.
With this last bonus paid, the to-
tai payments made growers from the
billings factory of the company, will
aggregate $2,167,066 for 1928.
The extra payment made on the
1928 crop in Colorado, Nebraska
and the Billings-Lovell districts to-
tails 81, 779,499.46.
Last year there were 9S5 growers
marketing their beets at the Billings
factory. These cultivated an acreage
of PIP acres per grower, for which
they were paid $1O5.57 per acre, or
an average of S2,2OO.06 each. The
total crop for 1923 was 243,118 tons.
The 1928 crop was unusually low
in sugar content due to the heavy
rains and the warm growing wealth
err of October, according to w. P. Ho-
garty, manager of the Billings-LoveIl
district, who declared that the SUI
gar content this year is much high
er and that the growers may look for
a substantial increase over the in
itial price of Sc per ton.
While the growers of the Billings
Lowell district, which includes the
other portions of Montana growing
beets, received $1.01 as the final bon
due to the greater sugar content
of their beets, the Colorado district
received but SO cents a ton, addi-
tional, and Nebraska 68 cents. The
of payments per ton were re-
sp~ective1y $8.1,9 $S.19 and 1901.

weighed only I25 pounds. Upon re-
joining his company, Mr.. Page was
promoted to first sergeant and was
later given a second l~ieutenancy. He
received his honorable discharge on
Eastern Business College in Chicago
and was graduated in 1866.

went to Leavenworth, Kansas, from
the Plains to Montana, and ar
rived in Virginia City on June 20.
His party encountered a band Of
Sioux Indians not far from Bridger,
Utah, and though a conflict seemed
imminent, it was averted without
bl~oodshed. In the fall of 1866, Mr..
Page turned his attentions to farm
ing in the Madison valley, associat-
ing himself with o. B.. Varney, in
breaking 80 acres, the land being the
portion of the valley then known as
Sodom. They paid 8 cents a pound
in gold for seed wheat and Mr.. Page
invested his entire capital in this
way. Grasshoppers destroyed the
crop the following spring, but Mr..
Page continued farming until 1869
when he went to Utah and purchas-
ed horses, which he brought through
to the Beaver head valley to Madison
Before the civil war, Mr..
Page was connected with public sur
7eys. in Minnesota and in 1873 he
lgain took up his profession of civil
engineer and was employed in gov
srnment surveys of the Majority of
he Montana counties.
In 1875, Mr.. Page was elected the
county surveyor for Madison county,
md in 1882 joint representative of
Madison and Beaverhead counties in
he territorial legislature. He was
e-elected in 1884. In 1895 he re-
eived from Governor Richards the
ppointment of state land agent, and
erved until 1897.
Besides his ranching interests, Mr..
invested in mining property and
yas the owner of valuable mines in
Iadison county.

Every once in a while some
weIl-known star decides to take
a flyer around the vaudeville
circuit in some short playiet or
other; and proceeds to pick q
skit that has about as much dra.

A supporting cast of no ability

the production is ready for the
road. The audiences pay their

However-and these occasions
are too few by far-there comes
an occasional time when the order
is reversed, and a playlet that has

SPRING IN WASHINGTON
INSPIRES PAVLOWA
By WILLIAM MOORE.

Springtime in Washington must
! have a profound attraction for
Anna. Pavlowa, the ''ineompara-
blep Russian dancer. Three pub
lie performances in a week in
; the National Capital makes us
wonder a. bit.
Miss Pavlowa travels all over
the world seeking new inspira-
tons for her terpsichorean novel;
ties. India, Japan, Timbuctoo,
kamchatka, Key West and the
Bronx--all furnish bits and scraps
OF inspiration for the enterprising
Pavlowa.
Perhaps, when she booked the
Washington engagements, she
calculated her visit here would
occur in the midst of cherry
blossom time. What inspiration
that would afford! But, alas! the
weather deities decreed other
wise, and. Pavlowa and her bevy
OF beauties had a. rather damp
reception, insofar Jas the weather
was concerned.
