Boost for "Soda" Water.
(From Oregon Journal, January 14,
1915.)
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

Editorial Note. The Tidiirgs ed

something to learn about developing
mineral waters." Also it has some

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

New Company
Offers Power
A. A. Flynn, electrical engineer
for the Rogue River Public Service
Corporation, was in town Wednes
day. 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.
