A JUST -HOLLER"
In the Sunset Ma.azine June July
1906 number, a very well written and
illustrated article from the pen of Donald
McDonald, entitled, "Portland the key to
all" appeare, and the people of Union
County and La Grande, have reason ta
take offense at the slight given this grand
County and thriving city, as in this article
both Union County and La Orande are
conspicuous by their absence. The beauti
ful and productive Grande Roide Valley
is not mentioned once in the article, while
other portions of the State have received
attention at the hands of the author.
tven in the mention of manufactures
of the State, Union County has no mention
One paragraph of the article read, "The
last census shows the production in the

and we "holler" when not noticed.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, is
going to investigate the canned beans
factories in the East. When the
government gets through with canned
goods investigation there will not be a
stone left unturned. Anything that looks
like canned goods will have to pass under
the scrutiny of Uncle Sam's eye, no
matter if it is meats, oysters, sardines, or
as just stated, beans. Of course this
is good news for good old Bcstsn.
GROWTH OF BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY
D. A. Gordon, member of the Canad
ian Parliment, and one of the best known
sugar men on this contient, has returned
from Europe, where he went on a extend
ed purchasing tour and to investigate the
European sugar industry. "Without beet
sugar the product would soon become a
luxry instead of a staple," said Mr.
Gordon. "We here have lots to learn
and do before we make business what it
is in Europe, but we are of the opinion
that this can be done here, and are more
than ever in a position to put ideas into
practice. The beet sugar business is
destined to be one of the greatest in this
country, as it now is in European count
ries, a-d this may be said in the most
emphath.c manner." Ex.
