Notice of appeal was given in each case, and the matter will be thrashed out eventually iu the superior courts.

The m ill expects to start on this run early in July, and will con tinue for six or eight weeks, which will bring it almost up to the time when the regular fall run w ill commence, which to meet demands must begin not later than the middle of September. The pressing need for this unusually early beginning is brought about by the exceptional heavy crop of I. ets that is expected to be harvested this year and which must be disposed of before the hard frosts come; therefore an early start is necessary to get all the beets through. Manager Bramwell is enthusiastic on the present prospects ¿or a beet crop. He says: “ We have 4,400 acres of beets this year and at leaBt 4,000 acres of this is a perfect stand. The only difficulty that confronts us is the scarcity of help. We employ all the white help we can and then fill out with the best we can get. In addition to our home supply of help we have about 200 Jap anese.” The yield of bedts for this year is es timated at between 35,000 and 40,000 PREDICTS M UTINY OF SAILO RS. tons, with a sugar output of not leBS than 10,000,000 pounds.
