A GREAT FACTORY. Heavy Investment in Oregon Enterprise Result of the Ex periment Station's Work. I About the 1st of September, it is ex pected, the big sugar beet factory at La , .... . . . Grande will be in active operation. It is . . . " , : to be i mammoth affair, the plant cost ing $450,000. In importance it probably , , , , . . ranks above any other factory in the state I , , 1 rrom rroi. oaaw are learuea many iu- ! . , . . ... teresting facts concerning this new en- ! , . - . , . , . . : terprise, the first of its kind in Oregon, : S, j r The plaat will grind up 350 ton of su- . . , , , gar teets eaeh 24 hours, which means an .. . . . , output for that time of 35 tons of sugar. . , . . , . . The company has contracted for the beet . , , , , product of 3,700 acres of land, it pays jpar ton for beets carrying trom 12 to 1 H per ecnt sllgar and 25 cents for each j additional per csmt. The average yield 1 fa aboQt ,5 tOHS to tlje acre an1 the cost i f raisiu bc-ts is about is about fco per I acre, whieh leaves a handsome profit, j The largest single contract is with the Pierce Iand Cx. which is t rai:e 600 acres caf belts. Kxperiniental work shows the beets of that section to aver age lusher in sujrar richness than those ef anv other locality where the manu j facture of beet saar on a commercial j scale is carried on. Owing to the nicily adjusted and labor saving machinery, it will be necessary t employ only about 2eo men, but, indi rectly, the fictary will furnish work to many others, wood choppers, farm help, etc., and help build up the home market. 7,000 cords of wood has been engaged for the first season's run. The factory will use fur carloads of limestone each 24 huurs, which' will come fror.i Hunting - ton. The machinwry is ordered from E. H. Dyer & Co., and the kearier parts are now on the road. It will require 130 cars to bring the machinery acres.- the continent. It is all of the very latest pattern. David Kccles, mayor of Ogde.i, Utah, is the chief raonied man of tke enter prise. He has a large interest in a new factory at Ogden also. The citizens of LaGrsnde raised a subsidy of 80,000, which prjiui-cy; to be money well invest ed. Tiios. Culler is manager and C. A. Granger superintendent. The former was seven years manager of the Lehigh factory, which has beej a wonderful stic- cess in the face of great difficulties. Mr. j Grander was also with the Lehigh for ; seven years, and for many years prior j was in the beel fields and suar factories of California. Beside the 450,000, the cost of the plant, as much more will bs necessarily I invested in operating the factory. The J beneficial results of this investment will be far reaching. The establishment of this factory can I be honestly credited directly to the ex penmen'- -lation connected with the Ore gou Agricultural College. The station sent out beet seed:, requesting farmers in different portions of the stale te ex periment with them. Many gladly re sponded, and the later t-'sls earned on at the station sho.ve I that the LrGrande aHd a few other beets were very rich in sllgar. Ai SOOH as tue wideawake actm peopie of LaGraude understood the ca pabilities of their soil iu this matttr, i they Vegan an a jitation for a factory, I and backed no by th. station's data, they secured it. Iu the establishment of this one factory alone, ihe experiment station has repaid its cost for many years. Home Acrain. Mr. John Simpson, senior partner of the firm of Siraps'U Sc.

King, of Bi.ker county, a former O. A. C. student, in all probability will be the fus ion candidate for governor. If Kincaid eannot get the republican nomination for secretary of state, it is understood that he will be he silver ticket candidate.
