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."

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

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:

play and must enter my protest"

. 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

Hudson, who 'was ill, and he would
continue to occupy the seat as long as
he, Hudson, was absent Reed then

Ulljaa aa Leo la tha Mitchell Jala
Aaaeeaklj.
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

Vaughan of lane was reached. Johnson

count of illness. Thirty-nine were

Beware
Of the Knife.
Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshficld, Mo.,
writes: "For six years I have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of mv neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. C,
Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months' constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re
moval of the gland. At this critical mo
ment a friend recommended K.S.fi..

dice against all nateut medicines. I (U.
