Maaufaetoxles Should be Cenducttd on a Luge lcle Mst of Running a Factory. 1 The Brownsvillo Times sara: Anx ' ious to obtain reliable information in I rogiml to the Sugar Beet Industry, ! which is now ultraotiug so milch at ! ion lion throughout the Northwest, wo wrote to Air. E. H. Dyer, of E. IT. Dyer & t Co., Alvarndo, Cat., nud have ! received the following letter in answer, j which we publish for the benefit of our j readers : ! Alvabado, Cal, March 1, 1891. ! Messks. McDonauj & Cavknorii: Gentlemen: I have vours of tho 14th inst., and in reply will say that you can obtain any of the latest varie ties of imported mtgur beet seed of the Alvarado Sugar Co. for 20 and 25 cents a pound. They have just in a large invoice from Europe, of the best varie ties. If you desire to order any, I will attend to it. and select the be-?t varie ties. In regani to your request for infor mation n ".;ar.lin tho industry, so much can be .-aid that I hardly know what to attempt, to say in a letter that will be ot much value. In regani to the business, first, I will say, any soil aud climate that will produce j;ood potatoes and other root crops, will pro duce good beets for sugar. Also, bind that produces jiood cereal crops will produce jxood beets, if the soil is fertile and contains sufnoicnl moisture. A light sandy loam or alluvial soil is the best aud most profitable soil for the produeliou of beets for sugar. In your state, the land should be plowed in the fall not less than 12 to 15 inches deep, so as to have the benefit of the action of frosts. In tho spring, lijiht plowing of from 4 to G inches will do. Then harrow and roll it. until the surface is well pulverized. In regard to sowing tile seed. We have seeders made for the special purpose. Our machines are designed for two horses, and a man can plant ten acres a day. In California and in Europe the drills are, as a general rule, 15 inches apart. The young beets are thinned out so us to stand from 4 to fi inches in the row. By planting closely the beets grow small like carrots, and all underground except a small crown. Experience has taught the manufacturer that n small beet, contains as much sugar as a large one, and he has less raw mate rial to work aud buy. Tho fanner can get as large a crop, raised in this way as he could if raised in the usual man ner for stock, and at as little coat. So by cultivating beets in a mannor to pioduco the most sugar, is advan tageous to both farmer and manufact urer. The seeders should bo gauged to deppsit the seed about inch be neath the surface of the ground, if deeper than that the seed is apt to lie dormant. The first weeding and thin ning should be done as soon as the young beets can bo distinguished from the weeds. After that, all that is nec essary is to keep them free from weeds. To manufacture sugar from beets, economically, it is ueoeesary to con duct the business on a large scale. I would not recommend a factory of less size than a daily capacity of .150 tons of beets. The teasons for this are too many to be explained in a letter. We aro now engaged in constructing u fac tory in Utah of the abovo capnoity. To give you some idea of the cost of I manufacturing sugar, I will give you our estimates of the cost per pound for making sugar in the factory now being constructed. These estimates are based, as you see, upon cost of mated al iti that territory, and upon a yield of 10 per cent refined sugar, aud the working of 300 tons of beets a day. The yield will probably bo 11 or 12 per cent sugar, and we intend to work H50 j tons of beets. But we desire to keep within fiifi limits. I KtOIMATKJJ lour Ol 1ft NM(.

By adding to or deducting the difference of cost f ma terial in Oregon and Utah, you can closely approximate to the. cost per pound of making sugar in your state from beets. The Utah Sugar Co., of Salt Lake City, arc having built a first-class fac tory, cantatuing the latent modern improvements. The buildings ate all of brick, and the machinery is all made in Cleveland, Ohio, from our plans ami drawings. Wo are agents for the largest and best manufactory of sugar machinery in Europe, but found we could have the machinery made here as cheaply as we could im port it. 1 have tried to cover all the most im portant points in connection with this business, but will give you any further information I have upon application, with pleasure. Truly Yours, U. II. Dvitit. Orop-WeatUar, Bulletin Nu, 6. The observer of the Oregon Weather Ilnroau, of Portland, Oregon, has is sued tho bulletin for the week ending Saturday, April IS, 1SD1, the same bo ing based upon reports received from 116 correspondents, which is as follows: WHSTHR.V OKtiUOX WKATHRIt. The temperature has been fiom a normal condition in southern part to ." degtees above the normal in northern part, the actual temperature ranging from 10 to 75 decrees.

UnrroK Orkoon Scout: Senator IVfler is in deniiuid at pult lic meetings here, nud he does not for get to unpres tin principles of the far- mors' alliance upon his hearers at ev ery opportunity, lie mado a speech i at a latgely attended meeting of the ( federation of labor 1 1 a is- week, that has j attracted wide attention. He took up ! tho immigration quc.lion--a wry live j one jtiyt now from the passage of the I notorious contract-labor law, in Ib'tH, of which he said: ".Many a time have I wondered how the hand of honest old Abe Lincoln must have shaken when ho signed it." This law, he argued, was tho natural sequel of the granting of a 1,000 ,000 acres of public lands to railroads in 18(52 and !!, ami was passed to enablo their agents lo bring over un der contract cheap Uuropoau laborers to do their work. As a direct result of agitation iu 1S02 the first, anti-alien contract law was paod, another in 1SS5, and still another at the last ses sion of congress. Ho then gave his hearers some pointers about pushing the educational work iu and out of pcaton, and supporting men from their own ranks. Spoakiug of an interview in which Senator Edmunds charuotem"d the farmers' alliance niovonu tit as a fever, Senator Pefl'cr aid : "Some people fosfilii, I wn going to say are inclined to belittle those things. 1 notice that Dr. George F. Edmunds said that it was nothing but a fever, and that the public were alllieted periodically in this way. But the people will not listen lo these ancient physicians, and will not heed antediluvian remedies." Conclud ing, he said : "1 waul to identify my self with you. I want you, the labor ing men and women of the country, to understand that you havo at least one friend in the senate of (ho United States, one who will not bo ashamed or afraid to present to that dignified body whatever you may wish." Another distinguished alliance man, Col. L. L. Polk, president of the na tional farmers' alliance and indu-jtrial union, made his first bow before a Washington audience lasl night, at a public mooting hold by Local Branch, No. 1, National Citizens' Alliance. Ho made a good impression, ami it is said some convorts by his ablo presentation of tho principles of his organization. The centennial of tho American pat ent system is being celebrated hero this week, and tho town is full of the men who have made fortunos out of their own or somebody else's inventions, to say nothing of the newspaper inventors whom we havo with us always. The patent ollice is beautifully decorated inside iu honor of the occasion, aud in the lecture room of the national mus eum is an exhibition of many interest ing things, including the identical printing pross at which Benjamin Franklin worked iu London. This morning tho visiting inventors woro ta ken to Mount Vornon and allowod to jiay their devotion lo the tomb of Wash ington, and their spare cash for feouvo nirs sold on tho grounds, and this af ternoon tho celebration is to close with a military review. It has boon a Very pleasant afi'air to those on tho inside, so to speak, but as tickets were required for everything the people woro really not "in it." Barou Fava, tho Italian minister, has gone home, and the public lost in terest in tho cause of his going as soon as it was oortain that a poacoful fcottlo mont would ovontually bo reached. Mr, Blaine's answer to the last dispatch from tho Italian government was road to tho oabitiot, approved and sent oil' by mail this week. It will not bo mado public at this time. Ex-lteproseutntive Crounse, of No brnska, has boon appointed assistant (secretary of tho treasury at tho roquost of Soorotary Fostor, with whom ho sen-mi in the Houno of Koprosontativos icomo years ago. Oon. llonj. F. Butlor was made liap py this woek by the receipt of $270,000 of government money in payment fur the white elephant he has had on his hand ever since he built the big stone house just opposite the Capitol build inu, which the last congress very kindly passed a bill t purchase for its own Use at the prue uan.d. Uncle Jerry Unk, having succeeded in getting Germany to agree to lift its embargo on American meats, has now turned all of his heavy guns upi'ii France, and he hopes to be equallly successful with that country. ll is believed here that Canadian reciprocity is completely done for as far a the present, administration is concerned, and that no notice w ll ever Ik sent to the Cituadin.ii go rn metit that Mr. it.irrifon is ready 1 1 receive them and hear their pn.p. . tions.

"It. wnld only have been courtesy to Imve al lowed them to say what they eatm to say," remarked a republican senator last uighl, and he is by no means alone in thinking so. Senator Edmunds' resignation cre ated more regret, than surprise am- ng his party associates. .1. It. t . A SVOAB C0SIBINATIOK. Au Association Formed to Handle ilia Entire Amerioau Froduat. Heports have been current for w days on the sugar niaiket that a com bination had been formed between tho whisky trust, tho sugar trust, the Ha. st ern refiners and the wholesale Grocers' Association to acquire eoniplote con trol of. the sugar trade. It is known that negotiations havo been pending between ilio independent rolinois, su gar trust, and wholesale dealers to han handlo all the sugar refined in this country and boycott tho refined sugars ot foreign countries. So far tho deal has resulted only in an association of refiners. It is stated that Clans Sprockets, E. 0. Knight, Harrison and Frar.er, and all independent sugar refiners havo entered into an agreotnont with the trust to work in harmony with its managers and produce only their pro rata share of the entire production, which is to bo limited to sales made in advance by wholesale grocors. One of tho largest sugar dealers sairi in re ference to tho agreement: "Tho refiners aro now making a prol it of only 1-15 of a cent pur pound on the sugar handled by thorn. They are restricted to this piolit because at J of ti cent per pound between cost re fined and selling prico foreign beet su gar would como into tho market in such quantities as to prevent the plac ing of tho product of American refiners. Telegrams havo boon received asking for quotations iu German boot sugar and that article favored as it is by a high bounty to the producer from tho Gorman govornmout, is looming up promptly as a inonaco to tho refining business. There seems to bo no at tompfto boycott it, however, but in dividual relinors and tho trust, acting together, will take whatovor stops they deem necessary to provont it or any othor foreign refined sugar from find ing a inarkot hero."
