F. Sayler | of Towa, the special agent in charge of | the beet-sugar investigation of the De- partment of Agriculture, is in Washing- ton, and has submitted his report to Sec- retary Wilson. He says this year shows a very active tendency toward the insti- tution of new beet-sugar enterprises. Next autumn, he says, Michigan will have three new factories, and Ohio, In- alana, New York, Colorado, Utah, South Dakota, North Dakota and Illinois will install ~new factorles, making thirteen throughout the United States now fn | contemplation. A conservative estimate, he says, is that there will be forty-two | beet-sugar factories in operation throughout the United States by the end of next autumn. Everything indlcates that the industry is thoroughly estab- lished throughout the country. Mr. Sayler says: “Even in the incip- fency of the industry these factories have | shown good profits. They have main- | tained themselves without any apparent real contest with the sugar trust. The | Sections of the country that seem most adaptable to the industry are .where conditions call for new resources, as in Michigan, where there has been a phe- nomenal increase within the last three | years, largely due to the waning of the iumbering industry of that region. There will be fourteen factories there next sea- | | son. California is the leading State in | production, with eighteen factories, in- | cluding the largest in the world. The | immense amount of pulp and refuse left after the extraction of the sugar appeals especially to farmers and industries that grow out of farm products.” Mr. Sayler says that no other feed for stock is so valuable and so chean as beet pulp. The beet-sugar factories turn out from 45 to 50 per cent of the original | welght of the beets worked in the form of refuse or bi-product. Sugar beets seem to respond especially to cultivation in | tne arid region, where they have sgiven better results than any other crop., The arid section has been enabled to' cope with other sections of the country where the crops have been produced by natural rainfall, not in the amount of tonnage | per acre, but in the higher sugar con- [fems and the purity of beet. The results |in Utah have demonstrated the feasibil- |ity of the central plant idea, with branches scattered at numerous ' points | for performing some detafled part of the | Work. ————— MRS.

Franks, the sole survivor of the original “Black Jack's” gang, dared capture and death to witness the execution of his leader. He came into the inclosure about the gallows a few minutes before Tom Ketchum went to the scaffold and just before the trap was sprung Franks walked out, mounted his horse and galloped away. Franks was noticed by only two or three. Sheriff Garcia and Detective Reno, who ran down the gang, admit thelr belief that the stranger was Franks. It was just before 1 o'clock on Friday afternoon that one of the guards outside the jail at Clayton saw a man ride over the fld‘fe behind the jail and down to the gtockade about the gallows. The man tled his horse in the s low of the jail. Then he walked over to the entrance to the in- closure around the gallows. He had no pass. He walked calmly by the guard at the entrance and did not turn his head when asked for a pass. The guard let him by. When “Black Jack’’ was brought out by Sheriff Garcla at 1 o'clock the stranger moved behind three men. He placed him- self so that “Black Jack” could see him as he passed. Two men had been watch- ing the stranger, and one of them told the story of the incident in Denver to- night. They saw ‘“Black Jack” flash a glance of recognition toward the stranger and saw it answered. The desperado con- :mued his march to the gallows without a remor. Just before the black cap was adjusted “Black Jack’ glanced at the stranger. He nodded his head and the stranger an- swered with a nod. Just before the trap was sprung the siranger moved quietly to the entrance and stood there. In the excitement that followed the execution the stranger hurried out, mounted his horse and galloped away. —_———————— ¥ND THEIR ANXIETY BY KILLING A CHIEF Navajos Weary of Hostien Boettiu Begay’s Conduct and Suppress Him With Bullets. ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. April 28.—A Navajo Indian boy, who is attending the Government school here, has received a letter from his parents telling him that some of the tribe had to shoot and kill Hostlen Boettiu Begay, a noted chief of these Indians. Hostlen for years has been considered gllrtlnlly demented and very dangerous. e had brougnt about on several occa- slons serious trouble between white set- tlers and Indians and in November, 1892, when deputy sheriffs went to arrest some turbulent Navajos, he led the fight against the officers, when several of the latter were killed.

POOR OUTLOOK FOR TEAGHERS They Will Be Asked to Work Six Weeks tor Nothing. jOakland School Directors to Make an Emphatic B ¢ “Request.” | Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway. April 2. The grave question as to whether the High Schools of Oakland will be kept open until the end of the term is being possed around from one body to another. he teachers will be asked whether they | will teach for about six weeks without a1y pay. As this request is to be made by the Board of Education, which holds the positions of these teachers at fts the indications are that the teach- ers will very generally consent to teach for the remainder of the year without pay, or take their chances, which are very remote, of getting the City Council to find some way out of the dilemma. The School Department deficit and the keeping open of the High Schools has been onme of the most artistic cases of “pessing the buck” that was ever prac- ticed in the city government of Oakliand. The Board of Education that has just pacsed out of office knew full well that if it put the Central School upon a_ high school basis it would have to face a defieit at the end of the year, because County School Superintendent Crawford notified thc board that he would not pay the salaries of the teachers and that they would have to be met by the city. But the old Board of Education decided that it would go ahead and pass the settlement of the difficulty down to the new board, which_would take office just about the time that the deficit would oceur. The new Board of Education.found a deficit of something less than 320,000 and prcceeded to pass the matter to the City Council, which was confronted with a deficit_of its own. It simply asked the City Council to furnish it with enough weney to run the schools and then waited for the Council to squeeze an already dry treasury. But the Council was not going to be made the scapegoat for something with which it had nothing to do and sfter de- lizering itself of various and sundry re- marks about the method of running the scrools of Oakland in defiance of an abso- Iutely certain defieit it managed sera| together $9200, which it transfered to the high school fund vesterday at a special session. This will only suffice to pay salaries until May 1 and in spite of the bland demands that $10,000 more be sup- plied, the Council has passed the matter back to the Board of Education without further action. The Board of Education held an in- formal meeting last night. There was no way out of the matter except to ask the teachers to serve for the rest of the term without salary or take their chances on | the future. The Board of JEducation. de- cided that it would never o to close the schools, particularly as it hopes to be able te_ccntinue the Central School’ as a high school. To close the schools and them cortinue the cause of the closing would create too much sentiment against the Central School and so the Board of Edu- cation delegated the High School Com- mittee and the Classification Committes | te visit the High School on Monday and | irterview the teachers, asking them t» | continue the school and take their cLances on salary. School Superintendent = MeClymonds claims that a majority of the teachers | will consent to work upon this basis and it is quite probable that they will if the Board of Education makes strong enough | representations to them. | _P. M. Fisher, principal of the Central High School, says that he and his force will teach until the end of the term, salary or no salary. “My teachers will all be on hand on | Monday.” sald Mr. Fisher, “and we will finish the term, taking our chances of getting any salary at all. It would be a very bad thing to close the high schools now and it is fit that the teachers of Oak- lund should stand by the schools in the present emergency.” Installation of New Pastor.
