The reason for the desire to mov the factory Is wldespreadlng, and the public Is not aware of all of them, but the nrlnclDal one is that all companj lands in this valley are exhausted as far as productiveness of sugar beets Is concerned. If water Is poured ove the fields in the Immediate future, the land may yet be valuable for sugar beet purposes. As It Is, It does not produc crops that even come near reaching paying proportions. La Grande will await with the greatest degree of anxiety the final word from the sugar king when he comes here. It Is to be hoped that tht Institution will not go. It is a great payroll organization for La Grande, it Is a credit to the city's Industrial di rectory, and should the city lose the factory here, It unquestionably would be a loss and a setback in commercial and Industrial lines that would require years to heal. rim LULrt IIUUIIIL ,kvtfaw (Continued from page 1.) far as the circuit court at this ti;.".' Is concerned, was given the time-honored Nodine case. The court instru -t-ed the Jury to bring In a verdict In fa vor of the defendant. W. T. Townley was the deA-ndant, and therefore he U the one mos- ;leased over the outcome of the case. The litigation was one in which Eli za Nodine sought to recover her dower right In some 2000 acres of land situated between Hot Lake and the town of Union, but Cochran & Cochran, attorneys for Towntey, were able to show that she had signed cer tain deeds with her husband, Fred Nodlne, which transferred all her right and title to the property in question. Mrs. Nodlne was represent ed by Lomax & Anderson. It Is alto gether likely that ner attorneys will appeal the case to the supreme court. AetrctiS Attempts) Soldde. San Francisco. Dec. 11.
