John L. Brady, formerly
now editor of the Idaho State
following note:. :
"I noted your editorial about the by-products of sugar
beets. I had occasion to go over the Minadoka project recent
ly and learned that the growers averaged $8 an icre f or the
beet tops. The price is forty cents a hundred pounds and it
averages $8 an acre This is for your information." L
The editorial referred to was one printed pn the sixth,
which quoted Mr. Love, head of the national organization of
eet sugar interests, as saying that the by-products of an
acre of sugar beets will make
than an acre of corn will make.
There is no question at
Salem is a beet sugar factorynext after the development of
the flax and linen industries j j j
And one of the principal reasons is the by-products; tops,
pulp, molasses, etc. " ' ' : i l l'
We can grow the beets with the right sugar 'content; we
an get the labor. We need only the capital, or
organization of our farmers.

(Portland Journal) j ii
"To develop the linen industry in the Willamet,! valley means
all-year employment for workers" said State Treaserr Kay to the
State Bankers association in session at Oregon Agricultural college.
"The facilities of the Port of Portland belong not t4 Portland only
but to the state as a whole," said Port Traffic Maaag4rtfudson to the
same audience. The balanced development of induatiy and agricul

Several weeks have passed since the effort begaa jo eecure- Port
land's quota in the linen mill which is to be built at Salera. The mill
is to cost $600,000. Salem, a comparatively small citjjr, put up half.
Portland's quota has been fixed at $135,000. As ths (fs written, less
than half some $57,000 -has been eubscribed, and that by a very
smalL group of the many whose fortunes depend upon
culture, merchandising, banking and the port. . ; j
Because of Its exceptional fiber and color, Willamette valley flax
commands a premium wherever linen is woven. Wei have some 4000
acres in flax this year; 200,000 acres in the Willamette valley J are
suitable to. the production of flax. One linen mill is n prospect; with
maximum flax production 25 big linen mills could operate, from Port
land to Eugene. ; 1 .""v i jt'j . . f'- j'

THE CALLES' REPLY
President Calles' reply to Secretary Kellogg's diplomatic
reminder of Mexico's duty to protect, to the extent of her
ability, the lives and property of our citizens Mithin lier bor
ders has the "gallery" ring. . Addressed to his subjects, it
appears as an appeal for recognition of administration cour
age and loyalty. If this is not the real purpose of the Mexican
president but is genuine expression of his interpretation of
the American note, thenl Secretary Kelloggj bwes it to the
American people to acquaint them more explicitly concerning
the basis of his note to Calles.
. The United States government should insist upon justice
to her subjects and her economic interests in
neighbors, Mexico included. It should furniiflijno excuse for
offense to any nation by either ill-timed or cjvpr-zealous crit-
! icism. And it is, at this time with only the evidence at hand
in the matter, inconceivable that Secretary kellogg with the
endorsement of President Coolidge, should have dispatched
the note which has been termed an "insult" by Calles unless
conditions warranted such note.1 i 'r..!- v !l M : ,
Whatever, the basis for this government's communica
tion to the Mexican president it was direc jta HIM as the
Chief Executive. This method is recognized- diplomatic cour
tesy. Calles' method of reply was, unless agreed to in advance
by our Secretary, the method employed by egotistic official
dom for 'the applause of ignorant or short-sighted subjects.
i i Whatever the reason for the Calles' rxiethod of reply
through his press to his subjects Uncle Samueji should ignore
it. The greatest objection to the whole matter as projected
by the Mexican president is
his subjects to the government of the United States. And,
too, the effect upon Latin American countries further south
may be sympathetic antagonism.
v. " The dignity and rights of
respected. Their protection
ment as its first duty. Conflict beyond diplomatic procedure
should not be thought of though it should! be made plain to
Calles -that this government is as determined in the desire
. for fair treatment of her citizen rights as! she is for justice
for her neighbors. '

;.; j 'Up "at Eugene are those who unmindful Apparently of
their obligation to the "weaker, sister are attempting .to
Mswitch" ithe proposed Southern Pacific car shops and ter
minals from Springfield to the University city. ' The fact that
the little city of Springfield purchased a site for these shops
and terminals twelve years ago, makes Eugene's action the
more unfair. , , - . . . .
Springfield has carried this investment during all these
years and now beholds the larger "brother? ignoring ordinary
courtesy and justice and by exercise of his larger financial
ability trying to wrest this civic asset from her.
Springfield is an enterprising , up-to-date city of 2500
people and one of the very few cities that have been consist
ent supporters of the Southern , Pacific. : She stood by the
railroad company rendering to, her marked assistance during
the I fight to unmerge the railroads and is entitled to Ahe
Southern' Pacific's Royalty.-'-' f- L:'-fi!t f
''' It is current expression outside of -Eugene that her atti
tude in this matter - is ; a mistaken - tine. If she succeeds in
robbing Springfield of the iocation.of the shops. she will have
injured the latter and will have added little to her own advan
tage except to benefit the speculators in acreage around the
location of the shops. ; ' ;
Located at Springfield as at first planned, Eugene would
be the larger beneficiary as the territory extending from her
to Springfield would no doubt, be .built up with homes and
business structures when all could -be merged into Eugene
City;-. r-::i ;V; :::r ; j.;;: - : : '
Grabbing industries from a neighbor is neither honorable
nor profitable finally. Eugene's policy in this matter is at
least a mistaken one. And the Southern Pacific i herself
should not be captured by it. ! '

ship her namesakes-Oregon rejoices and develops a wee bit
more of state pride. 1 ' 1 ; .

IPOISES
An old friend of the family ww
on a visit and a neighbor's little
boy had dropped in. ! .
"What does your father ; do?"
the visitor asked.
"Oh. he's a numismatician," the
boy replied. i
"Why, a namlsmatician j is a
coin collector'; ;. ;- ; '"- i ?;'"-!'
Yes, that's what my father Is,?
said the boy., "He's a conductor
on the tramways."
He was not a good card player
and it' was only after much pres
sure that he took a hand.
After a particularly g I a r i n g
error his partner turned upon him
in real anger. "Why didn't you
follow my lead?" he aeked. -r,
j "If I followed anybody's lead,
sir," exclaimed tne novice, 'hotly,
"it certainly wouldn't be yours.
His partner subsided. ' - In the
next hand, however, f he threw
down his cards f in desperation.
"Look here," he cried, "Didn't
you see me call for a spade or
club? Have you no black suit?"
"Yes, i; have," retorted the no
vice, "but I'm keeping it for your
funeral." i.-- i r

THE v WAY MRS. DURKEB
f "HEAD" ALFRED TO
MADGE
I started at Mrs. Durkee: In
amazement when she said that Al
fred, Dicky and Bess Dean shared
some secret which the boys were
afraid would get out.. .-
But belief struggled with In
credulity. I remembered, the un
accountable behavior of both meii
the evening before when Leila had j
mistaken some woman in the
cabaret for Bess Dean, and the!
knowledge was borne in upon me
that in the contest I saw approach
ing there; was a stake of my own
as well as the paramount stake
of gentle Leila Durkee's peace of
mind. . . 1 ,
'Oh, you needn't look as if I
needed a keeper and a straitjack
et!" 'Her Flufflness said pettish
ly. I "I may not have as many
brain, cells as you modern women.
but I can see through a knothole
just as well as any of you young
sprigs.". . !
-1 smothered my chagrined as
tonishment, and crossing swiftly
to her side, bent and kissed her
with an am'used little laugh.:
I "Don't be cross," I said. "You
know I always have had the great
est respect for your acunien."
She returned the kiss, but gave
me a playful push. i;
"If you ony wouldn't swallow
the dictionary all the time, you'd
be the most adorable creature I
know," she said, laughing. "But
I'm so glad you're here: tonight.
You'll be able to see for yourself
what that imp is up to, and maybe
you can figure out some way of
blocking her little game. That's
one reason I asked her to stay, so
you'ii have a chance to see her
at work, all right. I never saw
her equal. . And she must have
a hide like a rhinoceros.- She's
what Alt calls) a 'smooth article.'
You can't give her a hint strong'
enough for her to take." .
"I Don't Know."
"Your hints!" I scoffed. "A
baby's frown would be sterner."
"Well, what can I do?" she
defended het-self quickly. "If I
rcame out and said what I thought
of her, it would only make Alf
angry. He would think I was
taking sides with Leila against
him, "and ,tha- wouldn't do a bit
of good to anybody."
f For a second I wondered wheth
er her dread of offending Alfred,
born of her mother-love, was
stronger than her sense of justice
to her gentle, unoffending daugh
ter-in-law, but her next words
showed me my mistake.
t'No that I don't blame Alfred,"
she went on. "He's making . a
perfect idiot of himself, and when
the time comes I'm going to give
him the biggest tongue lashing
he's had , from , the since he set
the house on fire with some ex
periments he was making when a
boy.. He'd better be careful, or
I'll take a hickory switch to him
as I used to do when he ate green
apples. Come to thing of it, men
never do grow up, do they? Alt's
still. making foolish experiments,
and if, he doesn't look out he'll
set his house, on fire."
v ii-.
. '.We, won't let It get that far."
1 promised, with an appreciative
smile for her quaint comment
upon her son, a stricture which I
wished that young man:, could
have heard. It might have pen
etrated bis masculine conceit to
realize " that Jhis volatile i little
mother- whom he delights to call
"Her Flufflness" has read him
so. surely. -- - r'V-
"! don't know,?' she said dole
fully. "You can do something
with a balky horse, a mule or even
a goat, but a man " I ;
- She spread her hands with a
gesture which set free the laugh
I had been trying to repress. She
looked at me reproachfully for a
second, and then joined me
"Any Objections?V ,
- "Well, I suppose - It isn't any
use crying until we nave to," she
said. "And now. I'll get r into
something and go down to the
kitchen." :. "
"Look here," T said practically.
"Can't you tell me what you have
planned " for i dinner and let. me
get it with Bess Dean's ald?- I'd
like a chance to see her alone, any
way, and you need to' lie down.
Come, now be a good girl, and
let me have my way. It won't be
as good a dinner as you could get
np. but It won't be spoiled either."
"I know how good It will be."
she said, "unless you let her have
too much of her own way. I don't
believe she. knows how to boil ahi
egg. But your dress -"
"I hare a big apron in my bag?
It : covers me from head to foot;
and my blouse sleeves are short.
Any objections?" .
"Not one." she acquiesced, and
in another two minutes I was on
my way- to the kitchen and Bess
Dean. - ;-. ' - '
