Washington, Jan. 6.—Representative Dixon, of Montana, has introduced a bill to amend the laws relating to min eral veins or lodes within the boun daries of placer claims. He proposes to change section 2320 of the Revised Statutes so as to read: "The deputy mineral surveyor making a survey for any application under this section shall examine and state in his field notes whether there is within the boun daries of such claim a vein or lode such as is described in section 2320, and if so, shall designate the location of the same upon the plat to be filed with such application.” He also proposes to change section 2333 by inserting the following: "When a vein or lode Buch as ia des cribed in section 2320 is shown by the field notes and plat filed with the ap plication to exist within the boundaries of a placer claim, an application for a patent which does not include an appli cation for the vein or lode claim shall be considered as a conclusive declara tion that the claimant of the placer claim has no right of possession of the vein or lode claim; but where the exis tence of a vein or lode in a placer claim is not so shown a patent for the placer claim shall convey all valuable min eral and other deposits within the boundaries thereof.” MORE UNDER BAN. heart and the last of Chicago Closes All Public Places Save the Churches.

I a Grande—The sugar beet industry netted the farmers this year $95.000, according to the management of the La Grande beet sugar factory. The beet crop this year was greatly in excess over the yield of 1902. The yield last year was 9,000 tons of beets, while this year it was nearly 12,000. As announced earlier in the season, there were some portions of the crop which proved to be a complete failure. The failure, it is said by the professors at the experimental station at Union, was due to the lack of cultivation on the part of some of the farmers. It is said the farmers fully realize how beets should be cultivated, but some of them were careless about their work. The acreage planted during the past summer was much larger than the pre vious year. There are more farmers entering the industry now than ever be fore in the history of the plant, and the indications are that the acreage for 1904 will be nearly double that of this year. The soil here is highly produc tive for beet raising, and excellent re sults are obtained where proper culti vation is conducted. The labor in harvesting the beets ia not expensive, as pulling is generally done by Indians and Japs. Sometimes white labor is employed, but this ysar it was scarce. The management of the factory rea lizes a large profit from the sugar man ufactured. The management says one ton of beets will produce 240 pounds of sugar. Thus the 12,000 tons produced 288,000 sacks of 100 pounds each. This sugar was sold, at 5 cents per pound, making a gross output of$144,* 000. LAWBREAKERS OET THE BIRDS. Lane Sportsmen Do Not Believe Law Will Be Effective. Eugene—The new law enacted by the special session of the legislature, prohibiting the killing of Denny pheas ants for the next two years, is the sub ject of much comment in this vicinity, especially among sportsmen. The law does not appear to meet with favor. The argument is advanced that it has not been the shooting of these birds lawfully that has been the means of re ducing their numbers, and that if th* old law had been rigidly enforced there wpuld have been ,no occasion for farther restrictions. , Coming Events.
