Diodorich, United State consul at Magdeburg, Germany, sends the following repott to the state depart' merit. The report will prove of inter est and value to the farmers of the Northwest, who are just taking up the Industry. Mr. Dledrich says The results of the war with Spain are bound to effect changes In various (11 roc tions that no one could have foreseen at the beginning of this year. Hot the least Important is the bearing thoy will undoubtedly have on the sugar industry in Germany and in the United States, An enoromus Increase In the production of sugar in tha islands of Cuba, Puerto Rioo, tha Philippines and Hawaii ia probable in tne near future. With ooolie and Chinese labor in the Orient and in the Pacific, with the stimulus of American energy and capital in the West Indies, and with the more or lees Intricate bounties of Europe, the sugar question has become a very complicated one. . Though the outlook oi the young beet-sugar industry in the United States is not so promising as it was year ago, it is much too early to be come discouraged. While it may be advisable for those planning to start new plants to make haste slowly, yet the good work already begun should continue. Especially should the work ot locating the areas Id the United States suitable for the oulture of the sugar-beet be continued, as this can be done withont risk or loss of money, the sugar beets being oapable of utilisation as feed. In reading the reports of our experiment stations in various states. both as to yield of sugar-beets and also as to their sacoharine qualities, one cannot but admire the wonderful prog. ress made in this new industry within a lew years, and to congratulate our people engaged in it upon their suocess. Sugar is made, not In the sugar fac tories, but out in the fields. Therefore it ia impossible to pay too much atten tion to the cultivation of beets con tainlng the highest , proportions of lugar, and, at the same time, with tne largest tonnage per acre. In order to produoe such, the selection of suitable soil, the climate, the rainfall, and length of season, the fertilizing, plant ing, cultivating and harvesting all these arc very important factors. But the most important of all ; ia to start out with the best seed obtainable; for good seed, after all, is the foundation of successful sugar industry. If I may express an opinion, based on my per sonal observation, it is that some ot our beet growers should insist more than they have upon getting none but the best of seed, no matter what the price may be. I will not enter upon the history of the origin and development of the beet seed. Nor will I dwell upon the dif ferent varieties and their merits. I have had occasion to visit several of the celebrated German stock farms, where they produoe seed that is sold to all sugar-producing' countries of the world. With the accumulated knowl edge and experience of a century of in vestigation, with an investment of enormous capital, and with a vast amount of science and skill, energy, and labor, their methods of producing a pure and high-grade seed are as per fect and successful as are those em- Eloyed in the raising of fine breeds of OT8.es and cattle. j The high-grade seed grown in this country Is now in the lead everywhere. Even France is -beginning to import German beet seed, thereby conceding its superiority. I know that one Ger man firm alone shipped 80,000 sacks of Seed to France, I feel safe in saying that altogether not less than 100,000 sacks ot German beet seed were bought by Frenchmen last season, in spite of the SO francs ($5.97) oastoms datv which they had to pay on every 100 kilograms (230 pounds). 1 am in formed that most Of these orders have beefi duplicated for next season, and the amounts in many cases doubled and NEWS. OF 'THE The state oi Oregon has attached the Loewenberg stove foundry at Salem to secure a claim of $36,367.13. One of the apple orchards of Southern Oregon has this season paid $100 an acre clear, and this is only the second yeat of bearing; of the trees. The Commercial Club, of La Grande, Or., Is sending out a little booklet, de scriptive ot the new beet-sugar factory at that place.. , Good prices for saw logs have had the effect of stimulating activity in this industry along the Lower Columbia, Snd a recurrence of last year's soarcity is improbable. The governor has ordered a special election inMultnomah county, Oregon, November 15, for the purpose 01 elect' ing a state senator to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Joseph Si mon. T. W. Lee arrived In San Francisco last week from the Hawaiian islands, whither he went recently to judge busi ness prospects. He declares that the field in Honolulu is already too fully occupied. ' The Fulton Engineering & Ship building Company, of San Francisco, has brought suit against the Alaska- Yukon Transportation Company to es tablish two liens, one fort 12, 323.18 on the steamer J. W. Scammell, and the other for $8,698.88 on the steamer H. J. Barling. The American schooner, E. K. Wood, sailed last week from the wharf of the St. Paul & Tacoma Mill Com pany, with a full oargo of 666,000 feer ot fir lumber for Shanghai, China. The vessel has been in the Paget sound- China lumber trade tinder her present skipper seven years. The $10,000 issue of Park bonds, re cently advertised for sale at Spokane, has been purchased by W. E. Bell, of that city, who offered a premium of $67 and accrued interest. The bonds are to be dated August 1, 1898, and to draw interest at the rate of 6 per cent for 10 years. SUGAR-B ETS Not in Factories, Good Seed Is an German Consul's Report. troMod; all of which shows olonrly that even France now prefers Goiratin beet seed, and I am not at all surprised to loam that there is a movement on toot in that country to increase the tariff on imported seed. The first-olass sugar factories of Eu rope buy none but the very best seed, grown ; from high-grade Individual "mother" beets, to distribute among the beat growers; thus not only mam tainlng the standard of their sugar beets as to quality and quantity, but also putting themselves in position to compote in all the markets of the world. This first-class seed is sold and delivered by tho growers on board cart in the Prussian province of Saxony, at from 8 to 10 cents per pound, which ia a modorate price, considering the fact that it takes at least four years to get it into the market. There is also a second-class seed offered for sale in this country, at from S to 8 cents per pound. , This is com monly called tho ".Naoliaaohtsamen," being a seed produced not from the mother beets, but from the first first- class seed mentioned above. This in ferior grade, however, is not used by first-class sugar men in Germany, France, Holland and Belgium, but most of it goes to Austria, Russia and the United States. And this ia the reason why I deem it my duty to call attention to the importance ot getting only the very best of seed obtainable. In my opinion, those American growers of sugar-beets who buy cheap grades of seed, make a great mistake. All kinds of seed have a natural tendenoy to degenerate. Even the first-class beet seed mentioned above will not bring forth beets that come np to the stand ard of the original or mother beet, but will show a loss of K to 1 per cent of sugar; content. Now, the second generation of seed will degenerate more than as moon again, and lose from 1 per cent to 3 per cent. This is a small amount when considered by it self, yet it is sufficient not only to torn tne pronts of a sugar lactory into a loss, but even to drive the concern to the wall. .- . To illustrate this: Factory A slices 60,000 tons (short) of beets, which would yield about an average, of 18,5 per cent sugar in tha extraction. After deduoting the sugar left in the molasses and in other waste, this would leave about IS per cent -8,600 tons of pure granulated, marketable sugar, which at 1 50 a ton would net (326,000, Factory R slices the same amount ot beets, grown from second-class seed, which, at a fair average, have about 1.8 per eent less of sngar in the extraction After tins material has also gone through the process of refining, there will be 11.7. per cent 6,860 tons of marketable sugar, which at f 50 a ton would net $393,600. It will be seen at a glance that while both factories use the same amount of material, and have the same expenses for labor, fuel, eta, there is it differ ence in the gross receipts for manufac tured sugar amounting to 33,600. factory A bought 66 tons of first class seed, at $180 per ton, ,$9,900; factory B bought 66 tons of second' class seed, at $120 per ton, $8,600. It will be seen that factory B Wanted to buy "cheap" and to make money fast. It did, indeed, save $3,800 at the start; but factory A began by planting the very best seed obtainable, and came out at the end of the season with $39,300 cash ahead of its competitor, and was in the position of declaring a handsome dividend, Like so many other things in life, the cheapest beet seed are the dearest. It pay to get the very best, and only the very best is good enough. Let the good work ot experimenting in the field ot sugar-beet culture continue, in order to learn exactly what we can do in the face of fierce and growing competition, but let American growers determine got only to try different varieties of seed, bnt also to plant none but seed of high grade and pure pedigree. PACIFIC COAST The Chilkat river, In Alaska, is fnll of salmon; they are so thick they oan. not all keep under . the water. They are there by the tens of millions, and they make such a noise splashing that they sound like a storm. The river is full of the big fish from the mouth to the sonrce and the silver-tip bears are having s rich feast while the run con tinues. A new gold strike has been reported on the Dalton trail, less than 100 miles from Skagway. and the story that comes back is that five men who were wintering on the trail washed out in five days over $400 in coarse gold from a bench claim, utilizing only pick, shovel and pan. The dirt from which this gold was Washed had to be carried from the bench to the creek bottom, where there was water. The new gold find is in American territory, about 76 miles from Pyramid harbor. The halibut season of 1898 on the Flattery banks is nearly ended, and most of tne fishing schooners are on their way to Ketchikan and other Southeastern Alaska points to remain during the winter. Probably the last boat to leave for the north will be the schooner Alcedo, which will make one more haul off Flattery and then pro ceed np the coast. The Alcedo brought' in 18,000 pounds of halibut on her last trip and the Pilot 16.000 pounds. This has been an off year in fishing, and the catch has not amounted to two-thirds.

J The wheat trader's smwws last woes; depended upon the direction in which he happoned to he faced. If ho looked toward the west he made no money out of the market The Influence ot the largest primary receipts on record kept him ofl the buying side. He was lucky he resisted the temptation to put out a Short line. The operator who kept bis eye on the seaboard was the lucky one. He saw there the largest export engagements ever known, about a mil lion wheat a day. It he did not have some money to the good at the close Saturday night it was because he has no aptitude for tho opportunities. Chicago was incliend to be skeptical of the export figures. It was not doing much itfelf, but the man who was closest to the shipping position knew that JDuloth was, quality and freights considered, cheaper than thla market. and that the seaboard also had grain of Its own bought on cheap freights that could be sold ahead of Chtongo offer ings. The best export authorities agreed as to enormous sales abroad. Consequently there is no room for de nial or for pretense that it ts largely a matter of exaggeration. Lohrke, whose word is to be accepted in this matter, in an interview vestenlav. said the business accomplished dutlng the past fortnight was on a scale probably never exceeded. This authority, when asked as to the probable permanenoy of the foreign demand, in an interesting ex planation showed how the foreigners themselves were so uncertain of the sit uation they were not venturing to specu late any on the bull aide. ' " The Wheat price this year is to be matter of mood the mood of the farm er the world over. If it were to be de cided by the facts as to supplies, the bull, to have any success, would need to make his purchases on the very weak days.

RIOT AT ARECIBO. Bertona Clash Between t'orto means and Spanish Soldiers. Ban Juan de Porto Klco. Oct. 29.- Full details of the Areciho incident of Sunday, October 9, huve been received here. It appears that the trouble be gan in a row between some Spanish soldiers and a number of countrymen, The soldiers fired upon the crowd, kill-' ing (our men and wounding many. The crowd, to the number ot 300, so on rod machets and rushed through the streets, the soldiers retreating to the barracks. The people then carried their wounded to the house of the Brit ish consul, where they found several United States officers and soldiers, from whom they asked justice. The same afternoon, a party of 40 Porto Bloans completely destroyed the business bouse of a well-known Span- lard. Daring the affair an American was killed. During the night. 17 dif ferent fires in the surrounding country were counted from the housetops of Arecibo, and on the following night 34 tires were counted. HAVANA CAMP SITES. Two Locations Selected by tha Board of Army Offieor. Havana, Oct. 89. Thla afternoon a note was delivered to the American commissions by the Spanish, saying that on the day the protocol was signed alt the mines at the harbor entrance were removed. They assert also that there were never any others. The board of army officers appointed to select camps and landing places for the United States troops has definitely selected one site for a camp east and another west of Vento aqueduct, close to the springs. The camp sites will accommodate from 13,000 to 15,000 troops. Six million feet of lumber bag been ordered,. and each individual tent will be floored. Warehouses will be put op, as well as shops and all neces sary outhouses, and arrangements will be made for a sufficient water supply by pipe Una. RESOURCES OF NEW MEXICO. Governor Otero Renews Ills Plea rot Admission. V Washington,. Oct. 39. Govornor Mignul Otero, of New Mexico, in his annual report to the secretary of the Interior, vigorously renews his repre sentations for the early admission of New Mexico to statehood, and portrays tne undeveloped resources of the terri tory awaiting capital. He estimates the total population, of the territory now at 382,100, Including an Indian population of 35,900. Of the 1,100 offi cers and men from New Mexico in the war with Spain, at least ono-half were national guardsmen. The report lays special stress on the possibilities of irrigation, and says all tne water uselessly running away short ly will be utilized to the highest de gree, Meanwhile, individual enter prise is erecting a multitude of wind mills throughoutjthe territory. Kight Were Lost. Kocncster, a. x uot. 29. A spe cial to the Herald from Sodus Says: The three-masted schooner St. Peter, of St. Vincent, sank this afternoon about five miles northwest of Sodus, on Lake Ontario, with all on board save Captain John D. Griffith, who was rescued in a precarious condition. The captain's wife was lost, also Mate McLaren, of Kingston. Eight persons, at least, perished. It is thought the St. Peter lost her rudder and that the heavy seas caused her to spring a leak. ' The vessel was bound from Oswego to Toledo with 700 tons of coal. Itailway to Lake Atlln.
