BEET SUGAR IN EAST
Pacific Coast Product Will
Not Be Pressed for Sale.
LOT IS ORDERED INTO STORE
Consignee May Holjl It Until Spring
In View ot Strong; Statlstlcnl
Position Snlt Combina
tion Formed.
Tbe first consignment cf the Pacific Coast
beet sugar (granulated) arrived In New York
on Monday, on the steamer El Sud of tho
Southern Pacific (Morgan) line. . It consisted
of C500 bags, and was consigned to the Amer
ican Beet Sugar Company. The selling agents
of the sugar. Messrs. Gustav A. Jahn & Co.,
stated last evening, cays the New York Journal
of Commerce, of November 19, that the sugar
had been ordered into store and hold It if nec
essary until Spring, when, in view of the
strong statistical position, they expect it to
command sufficiently higher prices than those
now current to more than cover the cost of
carrying It.
Should the beet-sugar people adhere to this
policy of disposing of their sugar, it will un
doubtedly prevent a period of decided demor
alization in the local market, for the Eastern
refiners are fully alive to what they consider
the importance of preventing the beet interests
.gaining a strong foothold In the Eastern mar
ket. If, however, the sugar is to be stored
until Spring, the local trade do notsee the'
wisdom of bringing it here at this season ot
the year, and tho more general interpretation
placed upon the entire movement appears to bs
that the beet interests have determined that
the original plan ot fighting the Eastern re
finers In their own territory has been found to
Involve too great a risk. Nevertheless, they
have part of their sugar here on the spot now,
nd are prepared instantly to take advantage
xf any favorable condition of tne market that
may develop.
The sugar -situation having the possibility of
warfare between the cane and beet refiners Is
regarded as a substantial one. In Missouri
River territory, the sugar trust is said to be
getting Its usual share of business, despite the
active offerings of b'eet sugar. It Is offering
Its sugar on the basis of $4 25 net per 100
pounds, which Is only 4c per 100 above tho
.not prices In this city. The New Orleans re
finers yesterday advanced their prices 5c, which
makes their figures also ?4 21 per 100 pounds
net.
Representatives of the Eastern refiners deny
all intention of interfering with the sale of the
new beet sugar; but there appears no doubt
but what Jobbers and wholesale grocers will
not be apt to parade any connection they may
have with their sale. As the sugar Jobbers put
It: "These sugars are merely a temporary af
fair, and there Is not enough commission in
the entire lot to make It worth while for any
Jobber or wholesale grocer to Jeopardize his
friendly relations with the Eastern refiners.
The Eastern refiners more than meet Jobbers
half way, and are able during the course of a
year to give information regarding the general
sugar situation that is of value."
CHIXESE 1IOPGHOWERS.
High. Prices This Year 'a "Windfall
for Them.
CORVALLIS, Nov. 27. (Special.) The high
price of hops this season has been a windfall
for several Corvallls Chinamen, and five of
them are on the way to China, two or three
for. the purposeof marrying. One left" yesler
day, and -four the day before. Sam Sun has
the Beach fcopyard, across the "Willamette from
Coivallls, leased for a dozen years, of which
two have expired. Last year Sam had a
profitable crop, and this season the account
is that his net profits are 54300. He eold 35,000
pounds at IS and 20 cents per pound. Three
other Chinamen have the 40-acre yard of S. -N.
Lilly leased for five years, of which two have
expired. They made money last year, and
this season sold C4.CO0 pounds of hops at 22
cents per pound. Tfcey pay the owner of the
yard a cash rental -of 5530 per year.
HOPS AT JiECEIVER'S SALE.
Clotting: Incident of a Contract Suit
at North Talsima.
NORTH YAKIMA. "Wash.. Nov. 27. The
Harry Roberts hops were sold here on Mon
day at receiver's sale, bringing 24 cento per
pound. This rale is the closing Incident ot the
euit over the violation of a contract for hops.
A-E. Poole & Co. last Spring made a con
tract with Mr. Roberts for his hops at 11
cents per pound. After the hops went up in
price and he had harvested his crops, Roberts
attempted to sell to other persons. Poole &
Co. brought suit, and the case was decided
in their favor. Mr. Poole was appointed re
ceiver to dispose of the hops. There were 91
bales, and the purchaser was J. S. Elliott,
representing Horst Bros., ot New York.
Bavisville Almond Crop.
Dispatches from Marysville, Cal., state that
of tho. almond crop of Davisville section 310
tons of whole nuts have so far been shipped.
leaving about 30 tons to follow. From this
source -between $83,000 and $90,000 will be re
ceived. Taking the fruit crop of this district
of 2500 acres as a whole, a revenue of about
$230,000 will be received this season. The es
tablishment of a large cannery Is now under
consideration. The fruitgrowers are much in
favor of it. Ill luck has pursued the prune
crop on the Bidwell estate. A few days ago
a new evaporator was destroyed by fire, along
with 1000 trays of fruit, and Just as a tem
porary drying establishment was about rigged
up the storm came and ruined 18,000 more
trays. Orders on hand for 300 tons of dried
prunes must be canceled.
Salt Combination Formed.
It is reported on good authority that the
Federal Salt Company, of San Francisco, which
was recently enjoined by the United States
court from carrying on Its trust operations, has
succeeded In forming a combination or asso
ciation of the different salt producers of Cali
fornia for the purpose ot controlling the Coast
market. If the deal Is successfully engineered
It will put an end to the present demoralization
of prices, and those who (have been looking for
a drop may expect a -movement of the other
kind.
Sagrar Expected to Advance.
The New York market on new sugar is ex
ceedingly firm, and an advance In the quotation
Is expected dally, which will cause a rise in
the price of the refined product. Since sugars
went up 20c a ICO last week, there has been no
abatement of the strength of the market, and it
surprised the trade that another advance did
not follow In view of the statistical position of
sugar. It is said that one pf the wholesale
houses of this city, anticipating the situation,
laid in an Immense stock, and stands In a fair
way to make a pile of money out of the deal.

MISSING LINK IN JAVA.
Notes About a Monlicy-Man or a.
3Ian-Monkey in Captivity.
London Standard.
Professor Ernest Hackel's latest publi
cation, contains some curious information
about the human monkey of Java, from
which our Berlin correspondent selects
the following: '
The most interesting specimen rjs a
young gibbon, which Herr Hackel had an
opportunity of watching for several
months at his own house at Bultcnzorg,
in "Java. The species of gibbon J.o which
this animal belongs is found only in Java,
its scientific name being hylobates leu
ciscus, By the natives It is called oa, on
account of the characteristic sound it
utters. The little animal, when standing
erect, is scarcely taller than a child of C
years. The head is comparatively small,
the waist slender, the legs short and the
arms much longer. The face of the oa is
more human than that of the orang. Herr
Hackel says:
"The physiognomy reminded me of the
manager of an insolvent bank pondering
with wrinkled brow, over the results of
the crash. The distrust of the oa toward
all white Europeans was very noticeable;
but, on the other hand, he formed an In
timate friendship with the brown Malays
of our household, and especially the small
children. He never crawled on all fours.
When he was tired with running he
stretched himself out on the grass and
let the tropical sun shine on his body.
Usually he laid one arm tinder his head
and assumed exactly the attitude of a
weary wanderer who lies down on his
back in the shade of a tree. '
"When I held a piece of tasty food Just
out of his reach, he cried, like a naughty
child, 'Huite, huite, hultc!' a sound al
together different from the Oa, oa oa,
which he used to expresB various emo
tions. He utterod a third and shriller
sound when he was suddenly frightened
The speech of these human monkej's has
not many different sounds, but those
given are modulated and altered in tone,
strength and number of repetitions. The
monkey also uses many gestures, motions
with the hands and grimaces, in such
an expressive manner that the careful ob
server can detect different wishes and
various emotions.
"BesideXmilk and cocoa, he liked sweet
wine. He grasped the cup very skillfully
ivith both hands and drank like a child
He peeled bananas and oranges just as
we are accustomed to do. Holding tho
fruit with the left hand, he removed the
rind quite skillfully with the right, and
bit off one piece after the other. Most
cMalays do not look upon the gibbon and"
orang-outang as animals. The former
they believe to be bewitched men, the
latter criminals, who as a punishment
were changed into monkeys. Others,
again, think they are men in the course
of metempsychosis.

The only charge for calling for orders at
Honolulu would be $25 agency fee.

Chief Merit of Indian Schools as
Seen by Their Superintendent.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. Estelle Reel
Superintendent .of Indian Schools, has
submitted her annual report to the Com

marked advance of Industrial training, and
says that the course of study prescribed

learning agriculture as a means of self
support, while the girls have benefited by
the classroom curriculum, which fits them
for the duties and responsibilities of the
home.
The outing system and the systematic

TICKET
TO SAVE THE FORESTS
LEGISLATURE "WILL BE ASKED; TO
TAKE ACTIOX.
Committee Will Worlz on BUI to De
vise' Some "Way to Safeguard
Common Interest.
"How to save forests from fire" is a
question that will give- the lawmakers
a tussle" at the next session of the Legis
lature. Everybody hangs on to his own
idea on the subject, and many think
the other fellow should let go instead.
Their common point , of agreement Is
something should be done to protect
the property of timber owners and yet
to respect the rights of settlers. Land
clearing Is essential to progress and fire
is all that makes progress possible. But
how to confine the fire?
A committee of timber landowners has
been appointed to frame a bill to present
to the Legislature. This committee Is
composed of W. B. Ayer, George A. An
drews, R. A. Booth, IL S. Benson and
George M. Cornwall. It was named by
W. W. Curtlss, chairman of a general
committee of timber landowners, which
organized about a month ago. The com-j
mlttce has not met yet to consider Its";
work. j
Mr. Curtiss was interviewed several
days ago. He said:
"Fires have been vfry' disastrous, not
only to timber-land interests, but also to
farm interests. Both Interests need pro
tection and protection can be obtained
only by new legislation. The old laws
are Inadequate to cope with the new con
ditions. "A 15-cent rancher should not be per
mitted to burn up a lOW-acre timber
tract. But the development of the coun
try should not be retarded by denying to
settlers the use of fire to clear their
lands. Safeguards are needed better
safeguards than we now have. What safe
guards are suggested? Well, there are
as many as there aro men. What we
shall propose will be determined upon
by our committee."
The most widely approved protection Is
that afforded by rangers or wardens.
These wardens would have police power
and would be appointed either by the
state or National Government or by the
owners of timber. They would be paid
hy the -same authority that appointed
them.
"Destruction comes mostly from hunt
ers who leave campfires unguarded and
from land-clearers who allow fire to get
beyond their control. It Is the common
opinion that laws should be more strin
gent as to burning of slashings. Some
persons think that slashings should be
burned onlyln heaps, and that the heaps
should be a certain distance apart; that
fires should be allowed only on permit and
that precautions should be enforced
against fires starting from locomotives
and donkey engines."

DENY THEY ARE ARTISTS
Musician Complain Apnlnst Admis
sion of Foreign Competitors.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27. The Musicians'
Mutual Protective Union, through its pres
ident, Alexander Braemer, has appealed to
President Roosevelt for a "fair and Just
Interpretation of the alien contract labor
law as applied to the Importation of for
eign musicians." In a long letter the
union complains that the decision of Sec
retary Wlndom classifying all musicians aa
"artiste" made ln 1890 and upheld by all
aubsequcnt Secretaries, has admitted to
this country thousands of foreign musi
cians, who have kept American muslclana
from obtaining work. The union holds
that orchestra players should be classed as
"artisan" Instead of "artists."
