Articles of Incorporation have been filed, say the Oregonian, for the Oregon Sugar Beet company. The capital stock of the concern is $1,000,000, and its general offices J are located in Portland. The in corporators are K. G. Korn, a sug ar beet manufacturer recently ar rived from Germany; E. S. Larsen, a well known commission merchant; Edward Hughes, a prominent deal-' er in farm machinery; John Klos terman, a wholesale groceryman, and C. H. Cary. The company contemplates the bujlding of one or more beet sugar factories in Oiegon during the comiug year. It is an nouced that it has already ordered from Germany, where all the best sugar beet machinery is now made, a plant which will cost about $500 000. The or:!;: Vv. lc::i yUcfsl a year in advance, because the de mand is so great that the manufac turers cannot fill orders on shorter notice. The formation of the Oregon Su gar beet company is a direct out' growth of the investigations car ried on iu this state during the last few months by Mi. Korn, who came here directly for that purpose. It will be remembered that upon his arrival he made overtures to the chamber of commerce for the estab lishment of the industry here, al ii leging that the soil and climate of Oregon are similar to that of the portion of Germany where sugar beet raising is found most lucrative. Since that time he has not only made extensive chemical examina tions of the soil of different parts of the state, but has actually experi mented with seed and raised sample crops with very satisfactory results. In Germany the best soil yields about 11 per cent, of saccharine matter, iu California it yields 1 2 per cent, and here about 16 per cent. Judge Carey, one of the incor porators, says: "The importance of the industry in this country, has been amply illustrated by the suc cessful operation of factories in Cal ifornia, Nebraska, Iowa,, pakotB, and elsewherei In Oiegon, wheie" there is so little diversity of agricultural products, a wide field is offered for the establishment of such an industry, and so far as ex periment goes we are very fortun ately circumstanced. Our design is to erect a factory, and perhaps two, in this state In the next 18 months. The first one will proba bly be in the Willamette Valley, and the second east of the moun tains in a. section where the soil and Climate are suitable. The leader in the enterprise is a gentleman of wide experience and a manufactur er of high standing in his native land. The factory for . whicti such expensive machincr-baa- been or dered will have a capacity of from 450 to 600 tons of beets per day, and when established will run for the usual season of 120 days each year. It will employ from 300 to 500 hands In the factory and will require the cultivation of about 6,000 acres of beets each year. The plan will be to locate the factory at a suitable site, with reference to railroad and river transportation, and convenient to the best beet raising section. But before the factory can be built we must ar range with the farmers for the cul tivation of beets from seed to be furnished by the company and im ported from Europe. - Beet raising from the farmers' standpoint, is very profitable. In California the average profit to farmers is about 840 per acre. The average crop id about 15 tons per "t,c auu lae average price paia at the factory about $5 per ton. The , cost of cultivation is about $30 per acre. The company will enter in to a written contract with a suffi cient number of farmers to provide a sufficient acreage of beets for the season's run. The contract will provide for the payment for beets in cash on delivery at the factory. I Payment is based on the amount of : saccharine matter in the beets offer ' ed and their purity, and this is a stimulus for thorough cultivation by the farmer, for the better beets he raises the more he gets for his , work. We expect to be able dur- mi ioc ursi season to Harvest a crop of 6,000 acres, and take care of them at the factory; afterwards we will increase the capacity of the factory, and perhaps establish sta tions in different localities where beets can be delivered by the pro- ducer and then sent in carload lots to the factory. There is, however, much preliminary work to be done. We must secure a suitable location, not only handy to the beet raising section, but where grasping rail road monopolies cannot get the 'cinch' on us and force us to pay exorbitant rates. All depends on co-operation of the farmers with the company. - ' Some of the geutlemen connected with the project have made careful personal inspection of factories else where, and have endeavered to fa miliarize themselves with the meth o9 etr.j-lycd. At C ine, Ca'.L'.T nia, the factory now in operation produces 100 tons, or ten car loads of refined sugar daily during the season. The sugar factory at that place is practically the only indus try, and yet more freight is1 handled at that point on the Southern Pa cific than at all other stations be tween Los Angeles and El Paso. Employment is given to factory hands, farmers and laborers to the number of about 3,000. That lo cality, until recently unsettled, is now one of the most prosperous in Southern California. Farm lands have advanced in value from $6 to $300 per acre. The factory was built in 1880. Two years later its capacity was doubled) and next year it will be doubled again." It is thought that sugar beet cul ture will do for this state what it has done for Germany, Frnnce and Poland build it up, give lucrative employment to its working classes and a sure crop for its farmers, The manufacturer can always rest assured that he has a ready market for his product. If our factories could turn out 1,000 tons of sugar per year, it would not sup ply one-twentieth of the demand in Oregon aione. All Wind. The Salem Statesman, and a like papers, keep talking about the abo lition of the board of railway com missioners, and other boards and commissions that are riding the state to death. It is all wind, and tne Statesman knows it as well as if the legislative session was ended, Not a single board or commission will be abolishedt There are ' far too many hungry and faithful ones awiting appointment or election to every position now in existence on boards and commissions for the ab olition of any of them. The de mand for snaps is so far in excess of the supply that new ones'" are more likely to be created than old ones abolished. There may be some fractious country representa tives that will go to Salein next winter puffed up with idea that they can make a record on these matters, but when they run against that sol- Lid Multnomah county delegation. beaded by Joe Simon, and lind it aided and abetted by the Salem state house ring, they will find that they are very small potatoes iu a very large patch. They will find that in order to get their local bills through, and country members are always more or less cumbered with local bills, that .they will have to let the other fellows legislate for the state at large. An accurate index to the kind of legislation which witl probably be enacted at the coming session can be found in the utterances of the Oregonian from time to time, and ricwherc in iLut bape.'Lave we not iced any great cry for the abolition of a single state board or commis sion. The Oregoniau may not be loved to any great extent by the people of Oregon, but the iact re mains that it can very nearly dic tate legislation within its own par ty. Tnerefore, when we see the Oregonian demanding the abolition of some of these boardji, we will begin to have faith that they will have to go. Edward Bok says that the hard times have driven thousands of women into writing, and., that the "readers" who have to read the manuscripts tent to magazines are taxed to their utmost Capacity. From Alsca Bay. We can no more live today upon 1 our past reputation than upon the : food which we took yesterday. Ad j vancement onward and upward is imperative, stagnation is worse than retrogression. We are im mortal beings, not stupid and pas sive, but active, intelligent crea tures. Made after the similitude of God, possessing the express im age of His person. As such we are made to live for something, even to love God and our fellow-man . But if we are ignorant of these things, and are possessed with a . constitu tional indifference we are indeed "in the gall of bitterness and the ! bonds of iniquity." There are some persons who claim that the improvement of our country is the direct cause of hard .ii.ics, aua borne have not ouly in timated, but actually said to the writer, "you had better keep still about improving ouf Bay country, it costs a great deal ot money and that will make hard times for us here." Now if I were an older man and my advice was worth any thing, I would advise such persons to read the Bible and the "Hoosier School-master" or some of Mark Twain's laughable works and eu deavor to shake off some of their lethargy. The time when the wild Indian savage roamed these hills and valleys, making his living by hunting and fishing and having his own way about everything is passed. But the time 1ms not passed when number of lazy white men, if they may be called white, depend for their living wholly upon hunting, fishing and trapping, together with whnt few little articles they can pick up here and there without fear of being detected. This class of people do Hot want the country improved. They will not do an honest day's work, and endeavor to instill the same baneful disposition into the rising generation! Thejf say, in actions if not in words; "ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise." This clan, I am happy td say, is considerably in the minori ty, and like the Americati Indian, they are gradually becoming ex tinct. Improvement says tbtf soon er the better. We would not cen sure our fellow-man because he can not see as we see; nor do we believe in persecuting him because he wishes to retain his happy huuting ground in opposition to civilization and improvement, but we would earnestly admonish him as a brother to give up his roving habits and humbly acquiesce with there quireraents of progress. Unless he can be induced to do this, his doom to destruction is certain, and he is practicailyi "without God and without hope in the world." Con tent with the indolent enjoyment of an exuberant land, the clans of peo pie referred to above isone of the obstacles in the way of improving the country. If these people would apply themselves to the cultivation of the soil with a reasonable amount of diligence, a market for tbfelr pro duce would thus be created; since there would be enough pfoduc to justify a vessel to carry it awayi While upon tile's swelling ooeail, T isicd aie we by many a ware, Each has bis peculiar motion, F.ach his six feet for a grave. Here we've neither chutch nor gf&veytrdj Nowhere for to lay our head. Live forever Sage and brave Bard, Fish and hunt for dally bread. W. D. RlSLEY. In newspaper articles it is the truth that hurts. A false publica tion concerning a man in public life Mr-'y dcci any rcsl h?rm. Our public opinion discerns between that which is true and false. If a paper lies about a man, the one lied about is eventually strengthened in public esteem, while the paper doing the lying falls in character and influ ence. If the truth be told and it is damaging it will hurt. We would not give a pinch of snuff for the character that can be beaten down by a lie. Even a strong character and an extended reputation may be destroyed by a publication of the truth. There ate men who fear the publication of the truth about them selves and abhor its utterance just as there are criminals who want al most anything else from our courts butjustice. Number 28. Making Good Progress. The segregating board are mak ing excellent progress with the tax" ,. lists of Benton and Lincoln coun ties. The work of dividing the taxes ou the roll has been already completed, and only the work of putting their notes into shape and : the compilation of reports remains to be done, unless the delinquent tax roll is to be considered. The board in going over the roll have marked every place where a segre gation of property was made, and taxpayers who have doubts of the' justice of the work can eatisfy them-J selves by an examination. The chief difficulty encountered in the ' work was, where a taxpayer own ing property in both counties had been assessed and all his property described in a lump. This difficul ty was obviated by finding a de scription of his Lincoln county property, and giving it a value the same as the assessment value of contiguous property In the same county. The amount the people" of Lincoln county have been led to pxpect they will realize from this segregation is about $4,000. Whether the board's findings will, reach that sum or not has not bteti announced, but some doubt of it is expressed. Corvallis Times. 'in Sale of the 0. P. At Corvallis last Friday the" matter of the sale of the 0. P. came up before Judge Fullerton. Judge Brysoii, as attorney for the Farmers Loan and Trust Company, said with regard to thejdate of sale, that his clients would prefer that - thd . sale would be continued for thirty or sixty days, as it Was hoped by that time that a movement would be developed for the purchase of thar" ' road. Wallis Nash appearing pte' j'- sumedly in the interest oi thgr V Hoggs, asked that the sale tako place at an early a date as possible, I and intimated that there would be bidders at the sale, and that the aborers and the material men would be taken care of in the event that a much hoped for sale would take place. Judge Fullerton then , riahied October 20, as the date for art adjourned term of court when a date of sale would be set, which will probably take place in Decern ber. The court also intimated that the sale would be without restrict ions arid that $50,000 would be the limit of the deposit. Pr'df. Lewis. On this ' Friday and Saturday nights at the court house, the" "Nights of Enchantment" enter;. tainments will appear. The hearty" ' endorsement of the press and pub lic in our adjoining towns is a guarantee that not only a carnival ofjun, but melange ' 0: exciting scenes, inexplicable sensations and wierd wonders, interspersed with laughable delineations and eccen tricities, will be presented. The Professor will appear in modest and beautiful costumes The stage" will be arrayed with dazzling parapher nalia, representing a scene of daz zling splendor. A Hard Hit, ! Chas. Winant left Wednesday morning for parts unknown. New port News. That's about the hardest slam Toledo ever received. We have been made fun of about our clams and had it throwed up to us that we livejl in the "burnt woods," but that is the first time our quiet little city has ever been called "parts unknown' From the bench Friday, JVg4 Fullerton stated that he was in re ceipt of several letters from eastern parties asking that the making of an order of sale of the 0. P. be de ferred a few weeks. This shows that the old chaps have not forgot ten the millions they dropped in the road, and as the breezes cany back the tidings that the property is paying expenses they are prick ing up their ears.
