Senator Garland introduced a bill today providing for an appropria tion of $5,000 for the improvement of a public soda spring and grounds owned by the state at Sodaville, Linn county. The money is to be expend ed under the direction of three trus tees to be appointed by the governor. Evidently we have got something to. learn about how to develop min eral springs. GEO. W. SEAGER. Introducing a bill particularly of this kind is quite diferent from en acting it into law. Meantime we are boosting Ashland mineral water by having "Siskiyou" here on tap at the state house for the members of the legislature, and it is a great hit' ' F. D. WAGNER. Editorial Note.

Sugar Factory Is Assured The never-failing booster spirit has scored another success. In a conference with the beet sugar com mittee at the Medford Hotel, yester day, C. W. Nibley, the Salt Lake cap italist, assured the beet boosters that the sugar factory would be estab lished. While no definite figures are available at the present writing, it is certain that more than the required 5,000 acres have been signed up. On Tuesday the stores of Medford and Talent were closed and a systematic campaign waged. The Medford peo ple signed up 1,168 acres, making a total of about 3,500 acres secured by that city. Talent carried off the honors for a single day's work, sign ing up 1,758 acres on Tuesday, 640 of these being in the Shasta Valley. It is expected that Grants Pass will hand in a total exceeding 2,000 acres, while Gold Hill, Ashland and other districts will bring up the to tal to far above the required amount. Judge Dunn and George Millner signed up 100 acres in the district south of town recently. Figures for the Ashland total are hard to obtain, but we are assured that the local committee will turn in a total which will compare favorably with other sections. The establishment of the factory means a great deal to the valley as It will furnish a large payroll during the season and will also require large' amounts of wood and other local products. If figures from other beet raising sections are to be believed, the raising of beets will bring in a far greater revenue than any other kind of agricultural pursuit now practiced in the valley and will re quire and pay for a great amount of labor vhich will give the unemployed work. The waste from the factory makes the best kind of fodder for cattle and should give a considerable impetus to this Industry as well. Many of the ' orchard ists or the val ley are shipping apples to the Sacra mento Valley, coming thereby in act ual competition with the California product Mrs. D. N. DaVis of the Green Springs district was in town Tuesday. The business men's prayer meeting is drawing quite a turnout this week.

This corporation has submitted a proposition to the city council to furnish Ashland with electric current in wholesale quantities. The corpo ration tj as, a plant at Gold Hill which at present is generating 500 electri cal horsepower and which is being enlarged so as to generate an add! tional thousand horsepower. It is furnishing Gold Hill with a portion oi its ngnts and also nas a propo sition under consideration by the Medford council of somewhat the same nature as that proposed here. Mr. Flynn tells us that if his com pany can land the Ashland and Med ford contracts they will immediately enlarge their plant so as to produce 7,000 horsepower. The Beaver Port land Cement Company is a customer of this company. The California-Oregon Power Company also has a proposition be fore the council to furnish current to the city. Between the two propo sitions it is probable the city will come to an agreement with one or the other that will prove satisfac tory and make an end to the lighting troubles in Ashland.

"Oregon for the Settler" No more timely publication could possibly havo boon planned than "Oregon for the Settler," the booklet that is just off the presses and which represents one of the efforts of the Southern Pacific in its campaign to direct attontion to Western Oregon. The book comes juBt at a time when Eastern people are turning their eyes toward the West. It will have influence tlth two classes, the globe-trotting American and the homeseeker. Sixty-two pages aro given to de scriptive matter and pictures of West ern Oregon, and fifty-three subjects are treated. It is a book that ia in tended to to convey exact information as to the opportunities offered the prospective, settlor Beginning with a goneral state ment concerning the geographical di visions of the ctate, "Oregon for the Settler" takes up a discussion of tho western half as it is known to Ore gonians. It givca general descrip tions of the Rogue River Valley, the Umpqua and the Willcmette Valleys, and tue country bordering the west coast Farm products are then given intelligent discussion, the last third of the.p?.ges of tho book being given over to furnishing exact Inroratlon as to where laadseekers may find cheap and desirable lands in the four sec tions of the territory served by the Southern Pacific lines. It tells where cheap lands are located in the Rogue River count-y, along the Umpqua, along the Wi'lamelte and what they are good for. "Oregon for the Settler" comes from the presses Just vhen a large travel may be expected as a result of the European wars nnd the opening of the Panama Pacific and the San Diego Expositions Tho number of travelers who have kept right on going, after getting a glimpse of tho valley lands close to the main line of the Southern Pa cific, can hardly be counted. They have always had the impression con veyed by tho wet, undralned and of ten overflowed lands close to the big streams. "Oregon for the Settler" counter acts that imprecslon. It tells the traveler that tht lands they aro look ing for are over anions the hills, and that Wostorn Oregon is a succession of fertile valleys which cannot be seen from tho train. The Southern Pacific Company alms to tell the Uutii about Oregon and In this book has called on the Agricultural College for many of its facts. It treats the situation in a new way, and one that will be ap proved by the honest and conscien tious real estate dealer. Notice to Fruit Growers.
