The close season for China pheasant

Monday D. II, Taylor, J. U, Alexander
and J, M. Vamluyu took a spin out to
John Scott's furm south of towa and
after enjoying a meal of delicious bread
and milk they went out aud killed
thirteen China pheasants in an hour.
Mr. Taylor Is of the opinion that the
"close season'' fur these birds should be
extended until September 1st. One
reason is that the birds are too amall
now, and another Is that aa they are
now, any "elodhopH'r" can kill them,
while a month from now It would take
an expert hunter.

S 1). Irvine was fortunate In not
having lost two valuable homes last
Monday morning. HI team wa stand
ing harueNied to his wagon near the
dwelling ou A street, while the family
were at breakfast. The lines were
wrspped around the hub of one of the
wheels, but otherwise were not tied.
The horses commenced to back and ran
the wagon over the sleep bauk, about
twenty five feet high, and wagon lior
e and all went into the slough. It
was thought from the apsaranee of
the wreck the horses being pinioned un
der the wagon, that severe damage waa
done, aud perhaps one of tho horses
killed, but awtlstaiice being called the
liorca were extracted, looking little the
worst for the tumble. Mr. Irvine
breathed a sigh of relief when he
found bis horses all right.

He Bullied In Wine.
Dick Farley, a tramp, was arrested at
Fresno, Cal., the other day under very
novel circumstances. He sneaked Into
the Barton winery, secured a demijohn
and proceeded to knock out the bung
of a 8-loo-gallon i ask of port wine while
the men were at lunch. The force of
the wine as It Issued knocked him
down and soaked hint from head to
foot. Fully 1000 gallons of wine were
wasted before the bung could be re
placed by the men. Farley was arrested
some distance from the winery with
iboul 10 worth of wine soaked Into his
clothes. He was charged with bur
glary. The prisoners at the Jail were
eager to obtain possession of Farley's
clot lies and wring them out. The wine
wssted was valued at 12000,
Con'l Gllmore bus erected for Inde

we want to say that all the good of the
past is lost lu the sound of that new
whistle, Mr. Gllmore says he will "fix
it" so that It enn be heard twenty miles.
We hope not, It Ib loud euough now.
Its tone Is its great drawback. High C

HOW HOBOS ARE MADE
THE ACTUAL EXPEKIF.SIE OF OS I
WHO 11 AH SUFFERED FROM
THE HARD TIM KM.
There Ii a Fascination About the Life
of 'Bum,"
Wrltten for the West Bidk.
" Yss, I'm a trampt what of Itf
t I'poM you liiink I'm uo id
Hut a tramp fit to live, I rmkon,
Though torn don't think ti should."
Tramps? Yes, the country 1 full of
them, and the great army of so-called
"hobo" and "bums" is growing larger
and more aggressive every day. I have
ust finished a four-month trip and
will give ft fw personal experiences
and observation.
I waa ft workiugm.au had never
been anything else and had, up to
two year ago, made good wage aud
had all the work I wanted. Then the
shoe began to pinch, and It haa kept
pinching. Early In May I left San
Francisco, going to San Jote, thence to
Holllsler, over the Pacheoo pass to Los
llii and on to Fresno, where, a the
country south waa burucd up by the
drought, I "doubled back" up the
main line of the Southern Pacific for
Portland, Aa far uorth a Redding
there waa some work to be bad and I
waa able to "chew" at aatlafactory In
terval. From there on, however, the
outing wm anything but ft piculo. The
great railroad str.ke came onabortly
after I sighted Mount Shasta: trains
were all tied Hp and not even ft hand
oar nr track walker' velocipede was
seen for week on the mountain dlvl
aion aoulh of Ashland. What little
money I had was soon gone, and for
day my only food waa immature po
tatoes filched front the truck patches
along the highway and boiled In can
carried for that purpose, .
At last thla diet Uosme tiresome.
My very soul yearned with a wistful
lunging rbra"quare" meat I could
think of nothing else by day; vision
of tuiuptuou apreada filled my dreams
at night It was theu I for the first
time lowered the proud flag of Inde
pendence, disregarded the boast ofteu
made of never asking a favor, aud took
tbe plunge that made me a "hobo."
With fear and trembling, and with my
face fairly burning beneath the accu
mulation of (unburn, whisker aud
dirt that covered It (I waa out of oap)
approached a bouse and asked the
lady for aomethlug to eat She eyed
me keenly sud told m to wait. A
consultation with aoiue one Inside the
house evidently followed, aud then tbe
good woman may her shadow, which
waa ample, never grow leas reappeared
with a "poke-out" wrapped la ft news
paper. I have eaten at tbe beat hotels
and restaurant lu this country, aud
ouoe aat down to a banquet at Worm-
ley', In Washington, where the plates
cost $18 each; 1 have traveled on the
finest ocean aud river steamers, "float
ing palaces." where the beet that could
be bought for money was aerved on
table that were dream of silver, cut
glaaa and cblua; but never did food
taste ao good a that meal of bard cold
biscuit and fried bacon, washed down
with cold mouutaln water. Rut it
made me a tramp.
After that first time It was easier, al
though my ear never got over the
trick of tingling wheu I waa approach
lug a house to "strike" It fur food. A
point blank refusal was aeldom given,
and sympathy waa often expressed.
The majority of men one meets "on
the road" now are honestly looking for
work, or were when they started. Rut
the life they lead la terribly demoral
izing, and my opinion la that most
men who tollow it long enough to be
come thoroughly Imbued with the no
mud lo habit slid have their finer seme
blunted are seldom suited to a life of
steady labor again. There la a freedom
from care, a luxurious ease, a sense of
"don't car ft blank" about It that will
be very apt to draw them away from
good situations, and they will tramp
on till tbe end of their time. A nd you
whose lines are cast in pleasant plaoes
should exercise that rare quality of
true Cbrlstlau charity In passing Judg
ment upon them.
New Electric Light Co,
On last Saturday evening a meeting
waa held to orgnnlze a new water and
electric light company, with ft capital
of $30,000. All the stock ha been
taken, and articles of Inoorperatlon have
been filed. The Incorporators are L. C.
Gllmore, D. B. Taylor, A. S. Locke,
J. B. Cooper, J. A. Veness aud J. M.
Vanduyu. The object of the company
1 to conduct water works and electric
lights In Independence. L. 0. Gllmore,
waa elected president and manager and
J. M. Vanduyn secretary. The plant
to be established by the company will
be large enough to furnish both Indep
endence and Monmouth with lights,
but the price are to be so graded that
the use of coal oil will be unprofitable.
Power will also be furnished for small
manufactories The organization of
thla company will mark a new era
lo the development of our town, for the
company Is composed or progressive
men, who will seek to build up a busi
ness through correct business methods.
Mount Hood Pictures,
Prof. T. 0. Hutohlnson, our oounty
school superintendent, who was one of

finished a number of pictures of the
trip, which he had here last Monday
exhibiting to quite ft number of persons
at this oftlce. He had a view of the
party in their enow cave where they
slept ou the top of Mt. Hood, The
party consisted of Supt. Hutchinson,
Prof. Campbell, Eldon Haley, C. 0.
Lewis, and Mrs. McElvalu, of Mon
mouth, and Mr. Buford, of Salem.

In these day of money strlmrencv
low price and general depression the
business man who holds his own aud
meet every obligation as It falls due,
and at the same lime di a volume of
buslueas half or two-third aa great as
he waa doing a year ago, la and has
right to be considered a reliable flnun
cler aud one to be trusted, while tbe
firm that dm trade aa large as ever
la considered phenomenal. Then how
much more credit is duo a com nan v
that not only meets every obligation
when it I due, but has actually ex
tended It business during the past year
by 30 per cent over that of the previous
year, and thutlu spite of the suspeu
slon, failure and liquidation of a large
number of concerns In the same line,
and In the teeth of a powerful combina
tion of envioua rival. This is the
proud position of the State Insurance
Company of Salem, and It stands to
day at the head of the fire Insurance
busluesa of the Pacific Northwest.
The company Is notouly sound finan
cially and it policy holder have
absolute aiMurance that every dollar of
oss will be paid, but the business of
each year la conducted on a sure basis
so that no cue can bate a dollar. Iu
surer in the State Insurance Com
pany have a triple guaranty of net
surplus larger than all of the other
Oregon lusurance companies, and an
annually increasing business of suffi
cient volume to tuore man pay every
dollar of loss several times over.
1 he simple meeuiug of these facts I
that this company la well man sired
I he personnel of tbe company la above
reproach. At It head aa practical
manager and secretary is Mr. H. W.
uouie, ati insurance man, or over
twenty years expcarluuce, Mr. Colli
la also president of the board of trade of
Salem aud one of her tmstt prominent
busluesa men. lie beurathe reputation
of being one of the most careful and
best Informed lusurauce men ou the
coast. The history of the "State"
show thai a strong hand Is at the helm ;
that it never drifts, never varies its
course, but 1 guided by experience
steadily onward to greater success.
Accident and chance are entirely
eliminated from lis affairs. It give It
policy holder tbe bene lit of houest,
able, experienced and economical
management, thus avoiding the UU'
merous peril of shipwreck that con
stantly threaten Immeuse financial
uterprisca, Its conservative course
makes Its policies as valuable aa a bond.
The Slate does not belong to the com
bination of Insurance com panic known
the Pacific Insurance Union, that
for year has dictated ratea to aud con
trolled the business of most companies
ou this coast. Unscrupulous agents of
these-rival companies, not having bus
luesa ot their owu to attend to. aud
ealoua of the large buaiues done by
the State, go through the country and
make mlareprcHoiitallous. The Stale,
however, pays little or no attention to
them, having plenty of business of its
own to attend to, and being content to
risk lu reputation with its acquaintan
ce aud patrons lu a field where it has
paid very close to twelve hundred
losses siuee its organization.
The best Indorsement a company can
have la the patronage of the people of
the locality in which It Is located. The
State leads In Oregon, as It should It
is a home company, aud money earned
by it Is not sent to Europe, to tbe East
or to California, but is Invested aud
circulated right here, while the secur
ity It afford policy holders Is absolute
and Its losses are paid more promptly
aud with less friction than is possible
with companies whose main oftlce are
located hundreds or thousands of miles
away.
The best Is tbe cheapest. The State
lusurance Company of Salem 1 the
best, aud therefore the cheapest. In

A Guatemala Letter.
That Guatemala colony plan which
appeared in the Wot Side was pub
lished In the Oregonian, and as a con
sequence the editor ot this paper is be
ing flooded with letters from person
all over Oregon. This week auother
letter was received from Guatemala In
answer to Inquiries sent there. Tbe
writer says. "Isabel land (the land
selected for the colony) is magnillcent
rich laud for tropical farming." (The
gentleman lives right there and should
know.) ."Cost of clearing $10 au acre."
"I find myself lu better health than for
many years previous" "I think every
bialy would do all In their power to for
ward the Interests of such a colony,"
In conclusion the writer aays, the
government has decided to raise the
price of this land ou September 1st, to
$5 an acre. This land is bonded to the
colony at $1 an acre. So it seems that
unless It Is organized very ahortly the
price will be Increased very greatly.
Those persons who wanted to go, but
would not until some one else went
first, can now figure to themselves on
the first of next month a loss of $3000
on the speculation on account of miss-
lug a good thing.

Senator Mandersou took occasion to
Instruct the member of the United

In making beet sugar, aud the account
I so interesting we reproduce it here:
As the result of tbe investigation of
oilier beside myself, the slate of Ne
braska passed an act offering a bounty
of one cent a pouud for the production
of sugar. Unfortunately, I think, and
ruisguldedly, in a year or two the
bounty wo repealed by an after legii
luture, but pending It provisions and
after the act of congress giving bounty
lo beet sugar and admltlng beet sugsr
machinery free for a short period, the
Ox hard Brothers started the Grand
Island factory, and in a very short
time, oi the demand and inducement
if a locality remarkably rich and fer
tile, It established another beet sugar
factory at. Norfolk, Neb., which Is now
lu full operation.
The requirements of a beet sugar fac
tory cr very great. For successful
operation they must have tbe product
of from 8000 to ftOOO acres of land. Tbe
Investment In mouey Is large. In the
factory Itself it means an investment of
half a million dollar. It requires a
knowledge of chemistry on the part of
those who are to operate tbe factory
It means experience as business men,
for the competition ut home and abroad
I great. The competition at home Is
wlih the refiners; for let me say right
here there Is no unity of interests be
tween those who produce sugar from
the soil and tbe odious trust that takes
the raw sugar thus produced and sim
ply put It through the process of re
fining.
I cure absolutely nothing for the one.
I care, everything In the world for the
other. Not only have they to meet
with opposition at home, but they
must compete with the cheaper labor
abroad, the fostered production In the
way of bounty paid for that produced,
and iu tbe way of export bounty on
that exported paid in foreign lands.
They must compete with this protected
foreign product. It means extensire as
well aa expensive buildings. Jt means
most costly and most delicate machin
ery. I do not believe there is a more
Intelligent process, not even excepting
the typesetting machines that cast
their owu type, the looms, aye, even
Jacquatd looms that weave these won
derful fabrics, than that which takes
the beet fresh from tbe ground, with
the black soil clinglug to tt, at one end
of a sugar factory and moves it, without
ihe touch of a human hand, through
the mill or factory aud pours it out
merchantable aud marketable white
sugar at the other end in eighteen
hours of time.
The beets are brought by the farmer
lu his wagou or by roil. Of course the
first act is the process of weighing.
Then comes the dumping of the beets
Into the long sheds that are prepared
for their reoeptlou. Ou the inside of
these sheds, that are perhaps from 25 to
30 feet in width and 200 feet long, there
are converging or sloping side that
permit the beets to full by gravitatlou
lo the bottom of the shed.
Through the bottom of the shed runs
a rapid stream of water, the purpose of
which is to carry the beets to the mill
and to cleause them while they are
being thus carried. All that Is neces
sary to start tbe beets upon that process
of self-destruction, that is to be for
tliciu a bettering of condition iu the
Immediate future, Is to take from above
this running stream at the foot of tbe
storehouses the planks, six or ten feel
in length, that have held up the beets.
fhe beets fall Into the stream and are
curried along with rapidity by the force
of, tbe current. In tbe meantime the
water haa been soaking tbe earth that
is clinging to them. They reach a canal
that ruua from tbe sheds Into the
factory.
Still tbe cleansing process goes on.
The beets reach the wash-house, aud
there without anyone touching them
they enter a great trough filled with
water, aud therein are revolving arms
and brushes that brush aud cleanse
them aa they proceed ou their way.
Then they reach at the end of this
trough a spiral elevator that takes them
up, brushing and washing them as
they go; aud at last they reach, at a
higher polut lu the building than that
at which they entered, a most intelli
gent appearing receptacle. I thiuk it
is the invention of a Frenchman. It is
kii automatic weighing machine. Tbe
beets, as cleau as any woman could
make them with a scrubbing brush
and towel, empty themselves into this
weighing machine. When a half ton
of beets is in the machine, of its owu
motion It registers the weight shuts
down the flow of beets and stops. It
cannot be disturbed by hand or divert-'
ed from its work. Having weighed the
half ton of beets, it throws them Into a
chute aud Is ready to weigh the next
half ton.
From this weighing machine the
beets are thrown u Into a large recep
tacle, at the bottom and upon the sides
of which are cutting kulves. The pur
pose of this machine Is to reduce the
beets to shreds, and tbey come out
frora the cutting machine as much like
hort pieces of while tape, but a little
thicker, as anything I can describe.
There has beeu no loss of any part of
the beet until this moment. There will
be uo loss of any part of value con
tained In It through the entire process
from this cutting machine which thus
reduces it to shreds, the uame ot which
Is cossette. '
The cossttte Is then taken into the
diffusion tanks, where it undergoes,
through the twelve or fourteen tanks,
that process of extraction by tbe use of
water that takes from it every particle
of sacchariue. It passes theu auto
matically from these diffusion tanks to
what is known us the pulp press, where
the saturated pulp Is placed uuder enor
mous pressure, aud there flows from it
all. the water contained In the beet,
carrying with It whatever there is of
soluble matter, mainly, of course, the
saccharine substance, The pulp, after
and is carried from the pulp press toft
refuse pile outside of the factory. Tbt
pile, which I call a refuse pile, 1 of
great value In Germany and generally
abroad. They know It Importance,
and it sella at a good round price per
ton for feeding stock of that country.
It use I limited lu our western n
f ry, because other food for horses, for
cattle, for ho6s la so cheap and abund
ant that farmers are not driven lo the
use of this pulp for these purpose. But
Ihey are beginning to us it, affording
a small amount of profit to the beet
sugar producer aud a very large profit
to themselves. Leaving, then, this
pulp pile to one side, let us follow the
eugar water which I proceeding on It
way. It contains when extracted from
the beets, besides sugar, certain salt
and foreign chemicals which prevent
and are enemies to It crystallization.
Here was the snag struck by the early
cbemlHt lu their endeavor to make
sugar from licet. Tbey did not know
und did not discover until perhaps
fifty or sixty year ago the process by
which these foreign substance could
be taken from tbe sugar water, so that
the sugar might be crystallized Into
marketable form.
The process by which these salt are
extracted or enticed from tbe water la
a most Interesting one. First tbe Juice
I taken to what are known a the car
botiatlon tanks, and they are there
mixed with ilmewater and carbonic
acid gas From auother part of the
ground occupied by the sugar factory
car bring In limestone, which 1 eon
verted into lime aiid carried into a part
of tbe factory where it I made, by con
nection wilb the carbonic add jnu, Into
that compound which, mixed with tbe
lugar water iu tbe carbonate tanks,
will have au affinity for the salt, etc.,
aud leave tbe crystal lizable sugar water.
Having beeu thus mixed iu tbe carbon-
stion tanks, the next important and
interesting step Is permitting the lime
to take up the salts, because of It affin
ity; and hero is a very strange looking
machine I believe never yet eonatruct-
ed iu this country, but always imported
from Germany or France, which, bow-
ever, will be constructed along with all
other beet sugar machinery If the In
dustry is allowed to survive. There are
several large presses called filter presses
which look as much like immense ac
cordion drawu out to their full extent
a they resemble anything, and in the
part of the press that would be akin to
(be ribs of lite accordion are Iron frame
about three leel square, covered on the
outside uf the frame with heavy cloth,
kuown filler clutti.
Tbe augur press, thus drawn out to
its full exteut, is completely saturated
throughout its whole length with tbe
carbonized sugar water, and being thus
tilled pressure is brought to bear, the
great accordion or tiller press closes,
and, as tt closes, from tbe bottom of It
pours out the pure crystallizabie sugar
water, and there remaiu iu tbe open
;'j amework of the press tbe lime, re
duced aim- st to hardness, which has
taken up uud carries within itself all of
the sails which have been the enemies
of the augor-iuukiug process.
The dunned sugar water is then
taken to the evaporation tauk for con
centration. It carries so much water
that it is necessary to reduce It before
it eball go through the process of crys
tallization, aud in theee evaporating
tanks, which are simply what the term
imports, there is a great reduction of
the aniouutof water.
Next, and a most important process, "
is the conducting of this clarified and
concentrated water, thus reduced In
quantity, to what are known as the
vacuum paus, where the sugar water
is bofled iu a vacuum aud there is
formed the crystallized sugar. When
it is done, as the cook would aay when
the crystallization process Is complete
the sugar theu pours itself out iu a very
dark form, aud so nearly , fluid that it
runs itself, but runs slowly, and 1 con
ducted down au incline to what are
known aa tlie centrifugals, which are
simply revolving tanks with perforated
sides within a larger tauk with solid
sides, aud these ceutrifugala revolve at
the rate, as I recall it now, of 1000
times a minute. Through the pore or
hole In the sides of the ceutrifugala
the fluid substauce pours or is ejected
aud leaves the pure white sugar.
