La Grande Investment iHO Adams Avenue, SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY. The Sugar Beet Gazett of May the 6th of Chicago Hives a list of fifty three sugar factories in in the United States that are preparing to operate this sugar campaign. When all these get to work they will slice, squeeze and extract the eager from 36,700 tons of beets daily. In addition to the factories in operation there is the one at Watsonvile Cal., of 'a 1000 tons daily capacity not in. operation and 7 factories being construct ed that expects to be ready to help slice up the crop of 1904, these have a daily capacity cf 4,000 tons, . If the new faotories all get to running and those now ready meet with no accident these will be worked up eeoh day of the Sugar Beet Campaign of 1904 40,700 tons of beets. Our readers can form some idea of the amount of work this means and money paid to farmers by considering what our factory does. -In 1900 there were 30 sugar beet factories iu the United States with an invested capital of $21,141,719 giving employ ment to 1907 wage earners iu the factories, exclusive of officials and cleiks, to whom were paid that year $1,097,207 as wages. These factories in 1900 paid for material used therein, $4,803,796 and produced $7,323,857 worth of - saleable product of which $7,222,68i was for sugar; $25,102 for molasses and $76,174 for pulp and other product . -. In 1903 there were imported into the United States 4,218.108,. 106 pounds of Sugar valued at $72,008,973. The average cost of sugar in f oreign countries in 1903 was 1 cent 7.1 mills per pound and the wholesale price in ft. Y. was 4.64 cents per pound. The per capita, consump tion of sugar in the U. S. in 1903 was 71.1 pounds. The growth of the sugar beet industry in the United States as indicated by tbo annual product is as follows: In 1877 the first in which sugar from beets found s place on the record there were 446 tons made in the United State out of a total of 138,600 tons of sugar produced in the U. S. In 1878 the production of sugar from beets fell to 223 tons, in 1879 it began to ralley and (be tonage was 367, the next year it was the same. For seven years the the industry struggled foi existense with the prospect of utter failure falling in 1887 to 265 tons. But in 1888 the product passed the thousand ton mark with 1640 tons, the next year the two thousand mark was passed with 2,800 Ions, with Rome tiuctuatives the hundred thousand ton mark was oleared in 1901. with 125,859 tons and iul903,247,563 tons of sugar was made in the United States from beets. It now looks like the 300,000 mark will be passed in 1904.

DID NOT WORK IN LA GRANDE La Grande business men are not so quick as many in our neignboring cities when it comes to patronizing outside grafts. Eastern Oregon towns have been visited and large ' orders have been secured in uot a few instances by parties supposed ',o represent the Lewis and Clark fair, for envelopes. Not only have the merchants in these cities patronized Portland printing establishments but it is reported that they have ordered these envelopes to be stamped and the result is now apparent that the local post offices will suffer greatly when their annual reports are filed. In Pendleton it is reported that orders for stamped envel opes to the number of 150,000 have been placed. This will re duce the volume of business that should have rightfully be longed to Pendleton by $3000. This may prove disastrous, as Pendleton may not be able to suffer such a decrease and main tain her free delivery service. Baker City business men also placed laige orders but not to the extent reported in Pendle ton. Only two or three orders were secured in La Grande, and none for stamped envelopes. The natural ioorease in the postal reoeipts in La Grande will easily entitle us to a free delivery next year, provided our business men do not send away for their postage stamps. These towns that have done so not only helped t build, up the Portland post office but have in jured the advancement of their own offices.
