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. La Grande, for
once, did not get caught and
certainly will not now,
