What Causes the Present High Price of Sugar?
An opinion article by James A. Edgerton argues the sugar price rise stems from a reduced refinery output by the sugar trust, driven by investigation pressures and profits, while blaming tariffs and a skewed market. It cites trusts as raising costs for consumers and notes past frauds tied to scales and beet sugar interests.

Charles Chouquette, Montana fur trade veteran, dies
From Forest and Stream, Charles Chouquette an old timer, voyageur, trapper, interpreter and scout died at his home on the Blackfeet reservation in Northwestern Montana after living in the region for 67 years. Born February 18, 1822 in St Louis, he joined the American Fur Company at 21 and worked from Fort Union to Fort Benton, later trapping as a free hunter and enduring perilous journeys on the plains and Yellowstone area. His life spanned a storied era of trade, tribes, and frontier change coached by long service and family ties across the Blackfeet, Flathead and nearby communities.
