The same is true of Irelandi. i We must have more beet sugar factories in he United States, and more sugar beet growers, -for "many; skiff ictetit reasons, not.the least of which is in order to keep from having the present industry destroyed by the commercial jcorsairs of Wall Street who control the raw sugar production of Cuba and the Teiinmg 01 uuDan raw sugar m ine unnea puates And the logical place for th.e next big expansioh in this line isX the Willamette valley, beginning in Salem, j This is inevitably to be the sugar bowl of the United States, if the industry is to expand, or even to certainly survive, in this country. 1 ( The new refinery being built at Portland for aw sugars from the Philippines and Hawaii, will help in .securing the desired massed infjuence; and it will no doubt be a successful concern, if well managed, and still more successful if full justice can be obtained as to the rates on raw sugars from Cuba.

Governor Pierce could tell of a " FRIDAY, MORNING, AUOTTST-13, 192a-- !!0 LliUUKbUliUIIH different condition ' In Umatilla county, when that . : county ; was young and raw. He was appoint ed county chool superihtendaht when he was a callow youth. He starred to" ride on ihorseback on his official c rounds,',: to vvisit :a school district over the ridge. H9 accosted an old timer at a tn?n ia the excuse for a road to inquire I the way. "He you the young fel ler appinted : to look after : the skules?" inquired:the old timer. The callow youth acknowledged the corn, "Wall, - there's two ways," said the old timerT - One's to the left-down yander canyon, and the other's to the right over beyant the ridge. But you'd bet ter take the right hand way. Yo,u ain't needed down the canyon. They're tryin Ornery Bill Smith fer boss steal in down the canyon, and, young feller, you ain't need ed down thar. You better mosey along to the right over the ridge." He took the right hand road. And the 'next day he knew the hosS thief had been convicted, and had paid the penalty by danjrling at the end of a rope, according to the swift proceedings of the law of Judge Lynch.' In .those-days the law's delays had not come Into vogue, in the cases of hoss thieves in the bunchgrass domain. Counsel: "Now, sir, tell me, are you well acquainted with the pris oner?" Witness: "I've known him for twenty years." Counsel: ; "Have you ever know.n 'him o be a disturber of the public peace?" Witness : "Well er he used to belong to a band."
