V ' WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER" 29,. 1920. THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL! PORTLAND, OREGON AGRICULTURIST IS GRILLED IN CASE OF UTAH COMPANY Medford. Sept. 2. The entire day vu consumed tt the federal trade commission hearing; Tuesday of the "combination in restraint of trade." charged against the Utah-Idaho Beet.. Sugar company, with the testimony of Oeorge Austin of Bait Luke City, expert agriculturist for many years for the company. Only the defense is being heard, the ev fdence of the prosecution having been taken at the Medford hearing last sprlnc Austin testified that after he was able to vet a line on the true conditions, he told George G. Saunders, one of the leading figures in the project that it "wee folly to build a factory under the prevailing conditions at Grant Paae." Me said that Saunders replied: That he was a faker or words to that effect" COMPAWT Austin also testified that the chief drawback to the proposition wae lack of water, and that conditions at Medford were better than Oranta Pass, "if irri gation' was Installed." On cross-examination Austin testified that after each of his three visits to Crania Pass and the valley. In February. May and June. Hie. before the Grant Ps4 factory was taken over by the Utah-Idaho company, he reported back to Judge Bishop Nibley. president of the company at Bait Lake, that it was a mistake to build a factory at Grants Pass both because of thelack of water for irrigation and because in his opinion sugar beet could not be Yalsed In the granite soil in that section. ARGUE OVER EXHIBITS A large part of the afternoon fteaslon was devoted to technical points In beet growing, iLe tonnage of tho Grants Pass district and a comparison with tonnage of other district. Letter of the Utah Idaho company given to Austin to read and corroborated by H. W. Beer, govern ment prosecutor, met with stenuoua ob jection by JudKe P. N. Straup, counsel for the company. Especially was this so In regard to a circular alleged to, have been written by Oeorge C. Saunders and signed by Bishop Nibley. The purport was to show that the documents were not in accord with Austin's reports and statements. Here Is Something for Nothing ChocolateBonBonsGiveriFree Do you.want something for nothing? Something worth real money T Something that you pay real money for every day? Something that you buy your best girl every time you call on ber unless you belong to the ancient and honorable society of T. W.'s? Something; that you ''never buy your wife except on Christmas and the day after your wedding anniversary after you have been called down for forgetting to remember the day? That is what The Journal la going to give away free on Thursday and Friday (tomorrow and the next day) to all per sons who will bring a want ad, big or little, for insertion in next Sunday's Journal, with the money to pay for it. There is no "kick-back" nor trick, nor catch, nor anything like it. The Journal knows that the vast ma jority of those who once advertise in its want ad columns become constant ad vertisers. - Like the little drops of water that wear away the hardest stone, it is each little addition to the list of want ads that continually swells its want ad sec tion. Therefore The Journal believes it can afford to compensate every person who brings a want - ad- for next Sunday's paper If the advertisement is presented on Thursday or Friday, together with the stipulated fee. The Journal does not limit this to new advertisers. Any person bringing a want advertisement for Sunday's paper and the money for the same on Thurs day or Friday wilt get a box of Thom son's chocolate bonbons. To you who have never had your wants filled through the medium of The Journal's want ad column this 1 inducement to try them ; to those who are using them regularly the chocolates are a little tes timony of appreciation for past courtesies.

Beveridge's 'Damnf Is So Irritating Holman Would ThrowHim Out Large placards put up st vsrlous places on the first floor of the court house calling attention to the necessity of citizens registering so they can vote at the next general election have of fended the sensibilities of County Com missioner Holman ; and he's been still further wounded by the cold-hearted use of thp word "damn" by County Clerk Beveridge when Holman remonstrated with him. Beverldge was in the meeting room of the commissioners when the subject came up. The clerk took the attitude that the commissioners had authorised the signs as a service to the public 'Take 'em down if you want to ; I don't give a damn." said Beverldge. "You can't use language like that In here," thundered Holman. "Well, I'll use it If I want to : it's my own." was the comeback. "Well, If you do, I'll order you out and I'll throw you out myself if I have to." was Holman's parting shot as Bev erldge retired. Hood River Robber Takes Jewels, Cash Hood River, Sept. 29.
