SUGAR-BEET CULTURE Historical Sketch ot the In dustry in America. f IRST ATTEMPT A FAILURE J Bstakllehee) Km r fcUsWUl M la Issa-raetavtea ew la tae l-alteM) State. Mr. Albert Gerberdtag delivered an Wn before the Chit-Chat Club, of (fan Francisco, which contained brief history of the beet-sugar industry in this country. As the subject of start ing the industry in the Northwest U being agitated, it is thought information from its perusal may be obtained. The historical sketch of the industry is as follows: "Europe has 8,000,000 acres of fields, producing soy, 4,600,000 tons of sugar annually, and of this amount is selling to the United States sugar to the value of 30,000,000 s year. Although the industry has been established in Euro pean countries for years, it has been slow to gain a hold in America. Its " hiftory on this side of the Atlantic is ; short, although the same climatic con- ; ditions, prevail. "Our first commercial experiment in mating sugar front beets was near Philadelphia, in 1830, contemporane- uueij wiiu mo nnai estaou&nmexit ot the industry in France, but with wide ly different results. Intelligent pursuit in that country brought success; ignorance-in our own, disastrous failure. The experiment was tried again in 183S by a man in Massachusetts. Bis sugar product cost him II cents a pound. He was the ncttm of the theory that beets . mast be dried before processing. He had his experience, and those who came after him profited by his failure. "For . twenty-fire years thereafter America made no attempt to manufac tore beet sugar. In 1863 a factory was established in Illinois. The land was unfavorable to beet culture, and, after six years of unintelligent endeaTor. the factory was moved to another part of the state, not more favorable, and fail ure was again the result. Again the machinery was moved, to Wisconsin ! this time, where both the soil and cli mate were unsuitable, and since 1S71 nothing has been beard of the estalbish ment. A factory was afterward started in Fond du Lac, Wis., and attracted much attention. - "In 1869 the owners, two German chenfist3, came to California to superin tend a new enterprise of the same sort at Alvarado, started by Mr. Dyer, who is entitled to the credit of inaugurating sugar industry in this state, lie still resides in close proximity to the AlTarado factory, and we are pleased to note that he is yet a stockholder in what is now a dividend-paying enter prise, the ultimate result of his long years of persistent effort. After years of indifferent success the company was reorganized in 1889, the plant enlarg ed, and since then the business has been a success. "Sacramento started a factory in 1869, with machinery costing $160, 000. In 1875 it was sold for 145,000, and used to re-equip the Alvarado fac tory, which from that time until 1889 was the only beet-sugar factory in America. "In 1889-90 the Western Beet-Sugar Company erected its factorv at Watann- ville, CaL Chino, CaL, was the scene of the next factory, started about 1891, and about the same time factories were built at Lehi, Utah; Grand bland, Neb., and Nofrolk, Neb. New Mexico and Virginia also claim a factory each .. now. "A new factory is now being con structed at Alamantis, in the vicinity , of Anaheim, Cal., and one has been commenced at Salinas. Thus we have at present eight factories in the entire United States, three of which (with two more tn process of construction) are lo cated in California. In this vast state of unlimited acreage, favorable climate and soil, there are perhaps today about 60,000 acres, or one-twentieth of 1 per cent of the area of California, devoted to beet culture, and yet we are paying annually $6,000,000 to our friends cross the water for what we could as well and better produce ourselves. ihis sugar beet has been bred, and urea ioraesiraDie points, such as shape, wu.ur, aire, soiiage ana saccharine con. tents, until, by careful selection, these qualities have become fixed. The seed planted In California has been imported from France and Germany, but, under the influence of the climate and soil, a higher percentage of saccharine matter Has been developed than in any other known place. Beets are known to grow inuns state on about 22,000 ares in four counties, and, while we know they flourish in the neighborhood of three factories, it is interesting to de- ai;riu uie metnoa or testing and bring ing to publio notice a new territory. It has been the experience of all the fac tories that for the first few years the greatest difficulty baa been in securing a sufficient quantity of beets, but as soon as the farmers begin to understand the business, the supply taxes the utmost capacity of the factory. Beets, as a crop, are of but little use without the factories, and factories are valueless without the beets. """The farmer has the land, which he knows will produce good beets, but the capitalist will not venture his wealth until he sees the beets growing, and unless the capitalist is also the land owner, and appreciates the advantages of the sugar enterprise, it is most diffi cult to inaugurate the business." ALL CLERKS DISPENSED WITH BMmIbHm rae4 y tke Saaaaa 1 . Caused a Bat risks. A stirring and very personal debate took place m the senate at Salem Thursday sftcmon. It arose primarily over the question of clerks but it took a broader range, and covered the entire ground ot the legislative hold-up and me candidacy of r-enator Mitchell. Just after the senate met in the after noon, Reed introduced the following resolution: w hcreaa, the organisation of the legislature has not yet been perfected and public business is being retarded and necessary legislation, such as ap propriations lor public purposes, abol ishuient of useless and expensive com missions and other legislation promised the people of this state by all political parties, is being denied by the refusal of certain persons elected to the house of representatives to qualify; and "Whereas, notwithstanding the facts aforesaid, and the fact that this senate is practically transacting no public business and there is no work for senate committee clerks to do, there is, never theless now employed by the senate committees, at publio charge, a large number of clerks; and "Whereas, None of the said clerks are engaged in the discharga of any public duty, and there is no probability of their services beina- immediatelv re quired; therefore, be it 'Resolved, That all clerks of senate committees be, and they are, hereby, discharged, and no compensation shall be allowed any such clerk from and af ter this date, unless the employment be hereafter authorised by the senate after perfect organization of the legis lature shall have been secured. Senator Dufur made quite a lengthy speech in which he set forth his posi tion on questions of economy. He was followed by Driver and Michell and a number of others, some of whom bad auneaainenia hi we resolutions as pre- eentea. a vote was finally reached. The amendments were cleared away, one by one, and the ayes and noes be ing called on the original question, but one dissenting vote was cast. The president voted no, more in a spirit of Jest than anything. - s TWO DEMOCRATS GO IN.

In the last three years 49,000 acres of timber in New York State havs been destroyed by forest Area, Tha J mini CaavaaUaa. The joint convention has met daily, out at do time hare more than thirty nine been present. Each day developed some fiery oratory, accusing the otipoe ing faction of blocking legislation. Thursday thirty-seven members were present, eleven senators and twenty-six representatives. Senator Reed came in for the first time. Representatives Hudson and Vaughan sent letters ask ing to be excused on account of sickness. H hen the session convened it was the general expectation that it would be purely perfunctory, but the spectators were agreeably surprised. The first surprise was when Xoeler's name was reached. Nosier arose and the bouse became intensely quiet, as everyone uougoi mat rosier was going to an nounce his withdrawal, but the sequel proved a contrary intention on his part Nosier first spoke of his having been In his seat ever since the session opened, answering every rollcall and ready to do bis duty. Said he: I am ashamed to see such child's play and must enter my protest" Referring to Senator Carter's speech, u earn: W ould it not have been better for mm to have made the forty-first man instead or me forty -sixth?" f . r : i . , .... vuuuuuiiig, ne declared mat some one was responsible for the situation The Republican party was not respons ible lor its recalcitrant members. The people would hold these responsible as inaiviouaia. . In conclusion Nosier said: "I am here to answer to my name ana i expect to be here to the end. " hosier's speech was of peculiar in terest in view of the fact that his seat is to be contested when the house or ganizes. Nosier was elected as a Pop ulist Senator Reed was the author of the next incident He said that he was oc cupying the seat of Representative Hudson, who 'was ill, and he would continue to occupy the seat as long as he, Hudson, was absent Reed then said: -; . l don't come here as a Mitchell man, but I will vote for him if I set chance. I don't propose to be held up j ulkxu jrupuiiais, ana i ten you i am going to stay nere now." Reed then said he would like to ask wnat doctors were attending Vaughan and Hudson. He suggested that they i"igu d joooea uy the opposition Chairman Brownell - .ff.ivyu imu, Patterson and Chapman a committee to see who was attending the sick mem oers. need's motion was not made seriously and was intended only as a Chapman continued the speechmak ing by saying he was here ready to re- aeem every pledge he had made.

Lark Bilyeu, Democrat, of Lane, oc cupied his teat in the house a half hour before the Mitchell joint assem bly which met at noon Monday. Bil reu was writing at his desk. It had been rumored around tha capitol dur ing the morning that it was the pur pose of the Democrats to enter tha joint assembly, and Bilyeu's presence ap peared to confirm tha report As the hand of the clock moved slowly toward 13, the member from Lane continued composedly to dip his pen in the ink and seemed to be oblivious to surround ings and wholly taken up with the work in which be was engaged. At noon. Chairman Brownell mount ed the siaker's rostrum, and, calling to order, directed the clerk to Call the rolL The senators, the same as last Friday, answered to their names. As the clerk was concluding the senate cill, Vaughan, the aged representative from Lane, who has been quite sick, appeared in the lobby, supported by his wife. Ho looked pale and very ill, but he walked slow I v to his stnt Just alout the same time, Lee, Demo crat, of Polk, likewise appeared at his desk. Bilyeu's name is third on the house roll. When it was called, he arose. and. addressing the chairman, said: "This is the first time I have made my appearance here in the joint assem bly. I am here fur the purpose of as sisting to complete the organisation of the legislature. I want it distinctly understood that I am not here in any manner whatever to aid in the recogni tion of the Benson bouse. I have manv times stated my position on that sub ject, and I do not believe that its or ganization is legal. "I have been accused of aiding and abetting in holdmg-up the legislature. I am here to disabuse the mind of anv one that I occupy that attitude. I in form you that if the legislature is not organized, and at once, I wash my hands of the whole business. I arn tins! walking Uie streets of Salem wait ing for the majority of this legislature to get together and do its duty. "The people who elected me know I am not a fool; or at least they believe so; else they would not have sent me here. They want me to help organize this legislature on a proper basis; and I am here for that purpose. "I want to say that many questions have been raised in the senate and else where relative to the permanent organ ization that are not germane to the sub ject. I take it that the temporary or ganization of the house is sufficient for the purpose of this convention. I have all along maintained that the tem porary organization is the only consti tutional organization, and that is where I stand now. The members of this body, wbich is made up of members of the leigslature, are not called upon to pass upon that question. The state constitution has nothing to do with this joint convention. I believe the deci sions of the United States senate are a sufficient guide' for the actions of this body. When a majority of members of the legislature .declare their choice for United States senator, no power in the universe can set it aside. "We have the power here to deter mine this question of organization. I ask the .Republicans to come forward and organize. After this I wash my hands of the whole proposition. I am present" The call then proceeded. Lee an swered to his name, but when Merrill of Columbia was reached there was no response. Twenty-nine members of the house were found to be present, and ten from the senate thirty-nine in all, or seven short of a majority. Chairman Brownell then stated that he had received word that Merrill would not be up till the 2:20 train. He suggested that a recess till 7:80 in the evening be taken. This was done. There was no change when the con vention met at night Bilveu and Lee, Democrats, were in their rdaces. and Merrill, Republican, arrived in the afternoon and was also present Chair man Brownell waited till 7:38 before be called to order. When the name of Vaughan of lane was reached. Johnson of Linn asked that he be excused on ac count of illness. Thirty-nine were present The conevntion adjourned immediately following the roll call.

The wheat market in Chicago last week had a strong tone early, rallying lo, and then breaking 4o, the close be ing at a lost of 8 Vi from the dote at the end of the previous week. The range on May was 78 V lo 77 7-8c, with the close at 13 to 73 7-8c The for eign situation afforded but little sub stantial encouragement and the spot trade In America was not broad enough to force the upturn that the decrease in visible supplies warranted. The comll tion of the trade in England is shown by the failure of a grain house in Bris tol, who were long floating California cargoes, the recent duclina there of lfto from the high point being too much fur them. Foreigners, both on the conti nent and in England, are long, and are placing great confidence in the strong statistical position. All the forelgu paper are filled with bullish statistics, and have been for the past ninety days. Those sent uot lately have been a re hash of what the trade has been stuffed with ever since the advance started. There have been at least ten official Russian crop reports, each differing slightly from the other. There, also has been a fresh estimate on the world's wheat crop, the Corn Trad News' latest making it 06,000,000 bushels short of last year. A few months ago Beerbohm was out with an estimate ot 136,000,000 bushels short It la gen erally conceded that the Argentina crop is snort, as at this time of tha year that country commences to ship hear uy, but last week it only sent about 0,000 bushels, against 800,000 bushels last year. Bradatreets estimates that tha world's available .supply will lie 75,000,000 bushels, against 105,000,000 bushels last year, and 131,000,000 bushels in 1S93.
