BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
No Evidence That It Would Be
Ruined by Concessions to Cuba.
New York Journal of Commerce.
The beet sugar industry Is governing
the United States. Trade concessions to
Cuba are demanded by our obligations of
honor to an 'Island whose connection with
Spain and its markets we severed, and by
the Interests of our export trade, which
might get $30,000,000 a year of Cuban
money if Cuba would give us preferential
tariff rates. The concession on sugar
could be made without harm to our own
sugar interests; our cane producers are
saying very little about the matter; the
beet producers would probably get as
much for their beets under the reciprocity
arrangement as now, for they are now
getting not much more than the German
beet producers; but we know about what
the profit on beet culture Is, and it could
be much Teduced and still be far more
profitable than raising cereals and cotton.
The fight against Cuban reciprocity is
being made almost wholly by the manu
facturers of beet sugar and the manufac
turers of sugar machinery, who have
secured the co-operation of the raisera of
the beets, whose net profits are from ?25
to $33 per acre. We know something
about the cost of manufacturing beet
sugar, and It supports the manufacturers
who sold shares in their corporation on
the assurance that the prosperity of the
business was independent of politics; it
would be profitable without tariff protec
tion. The Dingley tariff law contem
plated as much of a concession on Cuban
sugar as the House has voted. It author
ized the negotiation of reciprocity treaties
with concessions on such commodities as
sugar of 20 per cent. This tariff law was
enacted five years ago, while Cuba waa
Spanish and there was every prospect or
her remaining Spanish indefinitely. The
present duty on sugar waa fixed with the
specific idea of taking 20 per cent off in
the case of Cuban sugar, for Cuba was the
only country with which our reciprocity
treaty under the McKlnley tariff was of
much use, and there was considerable de
mand for a renewal of reciprocity with
the Island. N
How large Is the Interest which is
potent in Congress and demands, though
it is admittedly independent of protection,
that We disregard our obligations to Cuba,
ignore the interests of our export trade,
ard treat the President's recommendations
and evon the reciprocity sections of the
D.ngley tariff, as matters of no con
sequence? The census tells us about how
greet an Interest is. The following fig
ures show the leading Items In the state
ment of the beet sugar Industry in 1900:
Number of establishments 31
Capital invested $20,958,519
Average number of wage-earners 1,970
Wages paid $1,092,207
Cost of materials 4.S03.7SG
Value of product 7,323,857
The census year was a particularly un
favorable one. The Michigan factories
were on their first year, and a special
report Issued some time ago by the De
partment of Agriculture says that tho
farmers did not in the least understand
their business. In 1E99 they had an idea
that tho beets did best on a particularly
dry and' sandy soil, which is not in the
least true,- and they had no idea of tho
Importance of weeding them and thinning
them out.
Of the faotorios, besides six that had
not started in the census year, ejght were
In California, nine in Michigan and 14
In all the 'other states. The payments
for sugar beets were over a million and a
half in California, nearly a million In
Michigan and nearly a million in all the
rest of the country. The total payment
for beets waa $3,455,320 for 794,658 net tons.
The. average price was $4 39. Tho state
ments of cost and production given by
experienced bcetraisers show it to be a
little over $2 a ton Including interest on
the investment. The profit Is over $2 a
ton and the production is usually from
10 to 15 tons to tho acre, though iC-was
leco in 1S93.
In August last Mr. Alfred Musy, super
intendent of the Rochester, Mien., sugar
factory, published in the Beet Sugar
Gazette an article describing the possi
bilities of a great sugar factory in Chi
cago, which could work up half a million
tons of beets In a season, paying $5 a ton
for them, meet all the expenses of opera
tion and sell the produce of 110.0&0.000
pounds of sugar at 4& cents, and clear
$1,CjO,000 on an investment of $3,500,000. In
the September number of the same paper
he noticed that this paper had reprinted
and commented on this article, and he
said "No sugar expert would deny that
ii a modern, well-managed factory U per
cent, or 220 pounds, of granulated sugar
can be extracted from one ton of beets,
containing as an average 13 per cent of
sugar, or that the working expenses per
ton of beets in a 5000 tons daily capacity
plant established In Chicago would be re
duced to $1 CO, not including, of course, the.
interest on the invested capital and the
wear and tear on. the machinery and the
building." The gross profits that Mr. Musy
figured would be 47 per cent. This is the

WANTS HIS NAME CLEARED
Rnthbone Petitions for a. Congres
sional Investigation.
WASHINGTON, June 28. E. G. Rath
bone, who was formerly Director-General
of Posts of Cubar and who was convicted
In Cuba on charges Involving maladmin
istration of his office, today petitioned
Congress to order a Congressional inves
tigation of all his acts In Cuba. The pe
tition was presented by Senator Teller.
The petitioner, after a reference to his
service in Cuba, his conviction and sen
tence, and his subsequent release under
-a general amnesty act to all American
citizens by tho Cuban Congress, says:
"Your petitioner respectfully requests
the United States Congress to direct that
a thorough Investigation be made by a
committee of its members or otherwise
into all his acts and doings in Cuba in
connection with the postal service, to the
end that all the facts may be made
known and the truth established. Tour pe
titioner bases this petition upon the
ground that whenever the Government of
the United States assigned one of tho
citizens to public service in a foreign
land, and in the course of the perform
ance of his official duties In that foreign
service, he is accused of high crimes and
misdemeanors, it Is the duty of the Gov
ernment of the United States to see that
he has fair and impartial trial under
usual and regular rules of Judicial pro
cedure. He should not be subjected to
trial by arbitrary and unusual methods
or procedure, contrary alike to the laws
of that country and the fundamental prin
ciples of Justice. He should not be sen
tenced to severe and unusual penalties
without the right of appeal to the Gov
ernment of his own country- for relief and
protection.
"Your petitioner further represents
that he was improperly tried, unjustly
convicted, sentenced to unusual and se
vere penalties, and, as a new trial cannot
now be had because of the amnesty Ty
the Cuban Government, which new trial
under uninfluenced conditions would bring
out all the facts, your petitioner submits
that, as a citizen of the United States, he
is justly entitled to a full, fair pnd'im
partlal Investigation by the Congress of
his own country."
As reasons for the application, the pe
titioner declares that the proceedings
which led to his conviction were not
judicial proceedings, but were special
proceedings, directed and controlled by
a person, or persons, who so Influenced
and dominated the tribunals as to thwart
the purposes of Justice; that ex parte evi
dence was admitted In tho trial; that the
court refused to summon witnesses In nls
behalf; that his attorneys were not given
proper time to prepare the defense) and
that evidence vital and material to his
defense was withheld, and that the prin
cipal witnesses for tho state and prac
tically the sole witness against him was
not sworn upon the trial.
TWO FIREMEN INJURED.
Povey Bros.' Glass "Works Damnced
, by a 92COO Blaze.
The drying department of tho Povey
Brothers' glass works, Sixth and Davis
streets, was damaged by a $2000 fire about
1:45 o'clock this morning. District Engi
neer Young and Driver Castle, of chemi
cal No. 1 were severely injured. Sev
eral other firemen were Injured by their
hands being cut by broken glass, and the
fire was the most smoky seen by the de
partment for a long time. The building
where the blaze raged was formerly used
as an armory, and the fire was difficult
to reach. Tho place Is hemmed between
a a two-story frame building, and
a brick building to the eastward. For 10
minutes tho flames brilliantly illumllnatcd
the neighborhood, and then dense clouds
of smoke hindered the efforts of the fire
men, who were sent up on high ladders
to fight the blaze. Driver Castle, was
working on the second floor, along with
two or three others, when tho celling gave
way, and Cistle fell to the floor below.
He was promptly rescued and taken out
side by his comrades, and sent to a. hos
pital. District Engineer Young was In
jured about the same time, and his right
foot was cut and bled severely. He was
cared for by Dr. D. H. Rand. On his
way to the fire, the harness on Chief
Campbell's rig broke, at Sixth and Wash
ington streets, and the horse, slipped for
about SO feet, but the Chief quickly re
paired the damage and drove to the fire.
Spit Blood by the Mouthful.
Mr. G. W. Martin, of Moody, Mo., was
troubled with a very severe cough and spit
blood by the mouthful. Chamberlain's
Cough Roracdy was recommended to him
and he now says. "I think It the best
cough medicine on earth, for one small
bottle of it cured roe." If troubled with
a cough why not .take this remedy and
got well? Many thousands of others have
dono so. For sale by all druggists.

H. S. Lyman Suggests Thnt State

The following excellent paper on "Dis
covery and History," by H. S. Lyman,
was read at the State Teachers' con
vention at Eugene, Juno 26:
Upon the general feature of history as
a branch In our school work; we are all
agreed. It Is there and It is Indispens

everything" to use the sentence of Fred

History la to culture what perspective
is to the picture; it makes all else com
prehensible. It is also what sunshine is
to the landscape the agency by which all
becomes visible. If, indeed, educators
are agreed with Froebel's principle, that
there Is no normal development of the In

own life the evolution of tho race, and
the main aim of education Is to provide

Mrs. 31111a Kills-ore.
WESTON, Or.. Juno 27. At tha
recent reunion of the Oregon Pio
neers' Association of Umatilla Coun
ty, at Weston, the most aged of the
pioneers in attendance was Mrs.
Sinia Killgore. who Is in her 03th
year. Mrs. Killgore, formerly Miss
Mllta FerrelL was bom December
81, 1803, near Danville, X. C. While
yet a child her parents moved to
Ohio, Where she was married in
1820 to Jesse Killgore, Mr. and
Mrs. Kill gore lived for a. few years
in Indiana, and afterword In Mis
souri. They crossed the plains to
Oregon in J875. settling' In Wash
ington County nine miles north of
HUlsboro. In September, 1870, they
moved to Weston. Or., where Mr.
KiUgore died, in 1877. Mrs. Kill
gore is the mother of nine children,
three boys and six girls, only two of
whom, William J. and Jesse F.
KlUsore, farmers near Weston, are
living. She Is still strong In mind
and body, and bids fair to round
out a century of well-spent life.

successive phases may be represented to
the thought and realized In the feeling of
the growing child and youth, then truly
historical study becomes a prime ob
ject Myth, legend, story, adventure,
romance, narrative, civics, economics,
sociology, religion, morality, and finally
philosophy and theology, are the items of
the series which reach the Individual con
sciousness through an historical develop
ment. History Is the final appeal of all;
neither truth nor utility can be satisfied
with any of the items except in its light
In. our public schools we do not expect
to advance the student beyond narrative,
with a. little of chics and economics; yet
every Intelligent teacher will bear out
my testimony to the thirst of the Infant
or youthful mind, for historical informa
tion, under the form best adapted to his
age. Children wish that the teachers were
made of stories; and the wise teacher
furnishes stories as a compensation for
study pf abstractions.
The reason for the delight felt by chil
dren in history when told in the form
suited to their agecomes from, the ex
ercise it affords to all the faculties. Im
agination, memory, comparison, hope,
fear, pride', love and aversion, and Joy
and sorrow, are all thus brought within
the field of consciousness. In this, as
the mind of the adult lives, that of the
child both liyes and grows. Thus are all
the faculties brought into a harmony of
operation, such as cannot be realized
even in the experience Itself; the telling
of an adventure or discovery, rather than
J.he deed, is the point of most emotion.
History, told under a form apprehensible
to tho age and mind of the listener,
sweeps the sympathies. It Is not our
own life that is here encountered; it Is
other life; not the single life, but the
multiple life. In thej-apt hour with hls--tory,
whether In the story of Gautama,
or David, or Socrates, or the Christian
Apostles; of William Tell, or Alfred, or
Washington: -whether of history In the
transparent page of Xcnophon or St.
Mark, or refracted Into Its subjective col
oring by Scott or Hawthorne, or Mrs.
Stowe, the transition from, the egoistic
to the altruistic life is begun. It Is in
this that the boy or girl becomes no longer
preponderatlngly the little animal, to be
loved chiefly In Its possibilities; but takes
on the characteristics of the human type.
Without this culture we should undoubt
edly all speedily revert to brutes.
But with general observations we need
not delay. The history to teach, and how
to get at it, Is the inquiry of the worker
In the public schools. There is no great
dissent from the teaching of the masters
that the place to begin teaching history Is
"where we are, and the scene local. Sound
er and more truthful views of life are
gained from the stories of our fathers
and grandfathers, and the making of our
settlements and communities, than from
the stories of Roman and Grecian demi
gods. Thi3 Is so from two reasons: One,
that in local and recent history the ac
cident of manners and speech does not oc
cur to discolor the spirit of the events.
A child's conception of what his father
or grandfather did. or the actions of their
friends and neighbors, will be found much
clearer and more exact than of persons
who lived thousands of -years ago. It Is
worth while to train the historic Imagina
tion first along demonstrated lines. For
the second reason, the leading characters
of classic history are, judged by present
models and standards, morally aborted.
Not until the boys have a tolerably cor
rect Idea of a true historical character
is It best to allow them to form strong
sympathies with a Caesar or Hannibal or
Alexander. To recur to the principle that
the individual, in order tp be well devel
oped, must repeat In his own life the ex
perience of the race, it Is evident that as
the race progresses and forms higher
ideas and better characters, the earlier
types of development the periods of vio
lence, must be, in the experience of later
generations, greatly shortened. The Alex
ander or Caesar stage in a boy's develop
ment should not be an increasingly long
one. The destructive, or combative age
of the boys' history and thinking becomes
vicious if allowed to keep tho faculties too
long In commotion or rebellion. The con
structive forces and sympathies must as
sume control speedily if there is to be
any time left for re-enacting the later
and better experiences and bringing the
youth up to date as a useful actor In life
an It now is. I should say that before
the boy enters the high school he ought to
have an intelligent understanding of
enough of the later history to have formed
his guiding principles and chief sympathies
with tho discoverers, explorers. Inventors,
founders of communities, and the bene
factors, rather than with the conquerors.
In local history, as of our states, his
tory Itself has been epitomized, and the
characters have been developed In mod
ern order; the conqueror sinks out of
sight: destruction and cctnbat appear as
but Infrequent nnd.not highly important
episodes: and the discoverer. Inventor and
benefactor possess the world. The pas
sion of tho race Is now to find, and com
municate benefits. The boy educated in a
world of Caesars, or of Napoleons, finds
himself -when thrust upon the world, an
anachronism. So far from becoming able
under such a spirit to reach the centers of
power, he Is more likely to be hunted
down, if a person of force, as a desperado
or nihilist
The practical, good sense that has placed
the study of United States history In the
course before the study of European or
classical .history, demands also that the
study of state and community history
should precede the study of United States
history. As the history of the world Is
best understood In the spirit and light of
the history of our country, and knowledge
of Its Ideals, so the history of our coun
try is best understood In the spirit and
purposes of our state history, which em
braces In a brief period and under few and
simple characters, all the stages of na
tional history. When this Is understood
then the more complicated and distant
National history, in its progress and pur
pose, may be understood correctly; as
from that the vast world history, with
some approximation, to a true conception
of Its progress and purpose, may be con
ceived. My plea then would be to start our
children with the local stories and his
tories. Let them know thoroughly how it
happened that their lot was cast here;
who It was that opened the farms, built
the houses, started the stores, mills and
established schools and the churches; who
built ships and railroads and opened
mines; and the adventures and hardships
and work upon the way. Tell them how
Jbe rivers and mountains and hills; the
towns and counties and institutions got
their names. Every name embodies a
story. Every story tells an adventure;
each adventure leads to a life of some
who planned and thought, and worked,
and brought his purpose to a close, and
left his ripple mark of toll. Every life
lead's to the union of a number of lives
In association of friendship, and the life
of each took form and dignity as It was
merged in the greater aggregation.
1 am perfectly aware of the difficulty
to which I am bringing you. and I lead
you to this difficulty purposely, but in
order that I may suggest a way to supply
the need. The difficulty is that the his
tory of our own state, whose story excels
all In its educational value and embraces
more of educational interest than has yet
been dreamed of, has still been but very
Imperfectly gathered; and what Is on rec
ord Is not easily accessible. I am not
ignorant that there have been published
a number of valuable histories of Oregon.
I need not name them; but only a stu
dent finds them readily; to the school
boy or girl, or to the teacher, they are out
of reach. We all know, too, that the
storlco of Oregon published by Mrs. Dye
have placed much that was before out of
reach within the hands of pupils' and
teachers, and with great advantage. The
forthcoming book Is eagerly awaited.
Balch's novel, "The Bridge of the Gods,,r
Is still on the market and In demand. It
has occurred to me, however, that apart
from these delineations under the form of
story or novel, which leaves the reader in
uncertainty as to the boundary between
fact and fancy, it would bo a gift worthy
of the centennial year, fast approaching,
If Oregon herself could place In every
schoolhousc the otory of her formation;
or. to state It more exactly, to place be
fore the children and youth of this state
the story of exploration and settlement
and discovery, as told by those who per
formed the task.
We are not lacking In the records; wo
have In clear language what the first
white men saw and found as they came
within the confines of old Oregon. In
quaint style y still preserved the facts
and fancies of Jonathan Carver, of tho
Colonial age, and the Yankee folk of
Connecticut who gave us the name Itself
of our commonwealth, which was picked
up by Jefferson, and finally wrought into
American literature by Bryant We have
the far better and more picturesque de
scriptions of John Ledyard, also of Con
necticut, who first of Americans set foot
upon the Northwest Coast The records
of Captain James Cook, who all but gave
the empire of the Pacific Ocean -to the
British crown; also the records and pic
tures of George "Vancouver, to whose loy
alty to his King may be traced the names
of our most famous bays and mountains.
To the end. Indeed, the story Is told on
tho spot and In the language of the dis
coverers and possessors of this land. Rob
ert Gray, who first carried the Stars and
Stripes around tho world, and who left
the signal triumph of attaching tho name
Columbia's River forever upon the most
majestic of American waters; John Ja
cob Astor, with his clerks. Franchero and
Ross, who gave the name to the first
permanent settlement of the Pacific Coast
north of California; Dr. McLoughlin, the
father of Oregon; the American traders
and adventurers; the American and
French missionaries; and lastly, but by
no means least, the Oregon pioneers and
state-builders, all have left records of
their impressions and purposes as the
events that, they brought to pass were
consummated.
I am permitted to make the suggestion
here that It would bo a worthy srlft of
the State of Oregon to Its teachers, who
more than all others have tho task jot
making loyal and intelligent citizens of
the boys and girls, to place In the schools,
In a suitable form, the words and narra
tive of these fathers of the common
wealth. It would be a worthy gift to
the children themselves, whose bent
towards patriotism is started in tho
schools, to be brought face to face with
the men who gave them, under the ban
ner of tho great Republic, the land of
their nativity.
It Is not pretended that these accounts,
written often In haste and weariness, will
afford studies In fine language; yet they
are like the Greek of tho evangelists; If
not classical, yet having the excellence;
which Is, above all, written to tell some
thing. Possibly some of our boys and
girls study fine writing too much and
need to learn that language Is not admir
able so much for its beauty as for its di
rectness and truthfulness. Properly edited,
condensed so as to form with the others
a connected narrative, tho records will
bo found those of plain, blunt men, who
speak rignt on. It la not to be supposed
that any one pupil, unless of the very
few among the older and more Imagina
tive, will find interest in all the series.
Many, however, and perhaps all, will see
tho pictures; many, and in course of time
all, will bo interested In those volumes
that tell of their local scenery and Institu
tions. Many teachers, who will catch the
tones and features and the mental type
of the men who formed our state, will re
produce these to the children until they
also form the images from the text It
is not supposed, again, that history and
story will be confined to these records.
After knowing something of the history
of their etato as those who made it have
told it tho pupils will wish all the more
eagerly to read the histories, romances
and poetry that have grown from these
records. Indeed, some, perhaps many,
will wish to express ultimately for them
selves, la history or romance or poetry,
their understanding of the meaning of
our state's Inception and development
An intelligent basis of comparison, as indi
cated already, will be laid for study of
all history, and hence the records of
other states, and of universal history will
be made Interesting and intelligible. The
effect would be not to restrict but to en
large all historical Interest and possibly
to attract to recitals of fact many young
people who now only follow the form of
narrative reading, the poorer class of
fiction.
Now, to close with a more definite state
ment of this suggestion: That the state,
or a commission under the initiative of
the state, provide as a part of tho library
of each school, on the occasion of the
Lewis and Clark Centennial, a series of
the original records of the discovers' and
exploration, and settlement of Oregon,
and that this be properly edited and illus
trated, and sultabl divided Into volumes
and chapters to form a continuous recital
of our story. Details of the plan need
not be discussed here, but I should sup
pose that about seven or eight volumes,
of 300 or 400 pages each, would contain
the matter. It would be, in fact an his
torical cyclopedia of our state, the con-

WHAT BROKE HIM.
An Unexpected Occurrence That
Dispelled Love's Young: Dream.
Chicago Record -Herald.
"Try to bear up, dear," she said when
he went to her and confessed that he bad
lost all; 'it may be for the best"
In one cruel day the work of years had
been swept away. He had hoped to be
able to give her a splendid home, to sur
round her with luxuries such as she had
never known before. But the splendid
dream was ended. He was almost penni
less, and had gone to her frankly to let
her break the engagement If the loss of
his money made any difference to her.
The brave girl did not turn from him.
She put her beautiful face-against his own
and leaned fondly upon his breast
"Though you have lost your money,"
she, said, "you are still my brave, noble
hero. You are the only man In the world
for me. I would rather be yours and pen
niless than the wife of the greatest king
that ever sat upon a throne. Do not sigh,
love. Your money is. gone, but we have
each other ani can we, be poor while love
remains, for us to have.?"
"Ah, my darling," he exclaimed, press
ing her close to. his heart and passionate
ly kissing -her again and 'again. "I can
not understand what I have ever done to
deserve to win you! My love my life
my oil! What Is money while ,1 may
have you and know that you are glad to
be mine? What I have lost today Is but
poor payment for the happiness you havo
given me In this proof of your love. My
angel! It Is as you say. My los3 was for
the best for without that loss I could
not have known the depth of your love!"
Their lips met again, and for awhile
they stood lost in a thick, moist fog of
ecstasy. At last she asked In the low
sweet tones that were to him as the most
exquisite music: .
"How did your misfortune occur, dear
est?" "I had a tip on July oats and sold short
for a decline."
"Ye3?" she urged.
"But Hammond Bunkley: tho man who
is to marry your friend. Miss Mcrryman,
Just as I began to think everything was
going my way, succeeded in establishing
a corner. The result was a sudden rise
that swamped me."
"And -who got tho money you lost?'
she asked, drawing back in sudden fear.
"He. AH that was mine Is his."
"What!" she yelled, Jumping over a
chair to be out of his reach; "you ask me
to share your poverty while Maud Mer
ryman Is to live In luxury! No, no, no!
Leave me! Leave me! It can never be.
If you -were fool enough to lose your
money to him you'll have to try to pick
up alone. She shall never look down with
pity on me!"
A moment later ho shuffled down the
front steps and passed out of her exist
ence. AT THE HOTELS. '

Ha
Vain?
Why not? A little vanity
is a good thing. Perhaps
you can't be hair-vain, your
hair is so thin, so short, so
gray. Then use Ayerrs Hair
Vigor. It stops falling of
the hair, makes the hair
grow, and always restores '
color to gray hair. '
" ! Aave used Ayer's Hair Vigor for
over 40 years. I am now in my 91st
year and have an abundance of soft
brown hair, which I attribute to the use
of your preparation." Mrs. Mary A.
