J And we can grow the Jerusalem artichokes for making 'the third kind of commercial sugar (levulose), whenever that branch shall become ajdesirable beei; sugar factory by-prod uct, which it no doubt will r made m the 'same factory, ruri- xiing me year mruugii. Why should the Salem district send away for: its sugar? '. . .'

Some yields running double that tonnage. 7 The people of the United States last year were consuming Jll pounds of sugar annually per capita. VTake the patroniz . Ing territory of Salem, within a radius of .25 miles, and put jtfat 100,000, and we have 11,100,000 pounds of sugar con sumption here -' x i Not counting our canneries and barreling and processing plants. We have in a district easily reached from a sugar factory at Salem 36 canneries, and numerous processing and barreling plants, not including, a number of our canneries, which also send out -many thousands of tons 'annually of barreled berries. ; V . ' The-seven canneries in Salem last year put up over a mil- tinn mcac nf frtiif' Salom Jina oirrVif anriprips nna Vwinor a specialty plant for beans and pumpkins and -for cucumber pickles.) A The other 25, toruieries'ptitJip another million cases. jThe use of sugar by the cannerie will eTverage abqut . two and a half pounds 'to the castri"truit. That means rnoinerxf,wvJW pounus oisugaiv but a little over a million tons, which will be home grown bee sugar, and some cane- sugar pjXKiuceCinlLomsiana-,. And we can, with ah all water route from the; Willamette valley, reach the great Mississippi valley markets with .our sugar 10 cents a hundred 'pounds cheaper "in freight, ;rates than "the rail rates from the Atlantic seaboard- -' Then why do we wait ? We cannot develop our dairying, poultry and live stock industries as they ought to be developed without the by products of sugar beet factories. We cannot be sure of developing irrigation as it bught to be developed without the sugar industry. We cannot be certain of getting still water in the Willamette without that industry. We cannot main tain the ten million people we ought to have in the central Willamette valley without it. We cannot have the solid prosperity to which we are by nature entitled without it 1 Then why wait? . t Why wait, when all we need is one man with the ability to point and lead the way?: One factory will bring dozens of others. Every natural condition is here. Why should we slothf ully neglect the; biggest thing there is" for the" good of this and coming generations ?J Western Oregon will finally have a. hundred sugar factories. We of this day ought to be the ones to secure the first one. We are recreant to our duty for every day we wait. The Richmond Improvement club has a good kick-off. But what is the matter with the women ? Admit them, of course. Welcome them. They are better boosters than the men. They know what they Want and are not backward about going after it. And the club must not think of trying to keep that sec tion from becoming the future great factory district. That is the natural place for it. There is plenty of room, too, out that way, for beautiful restricted residential districts. "But factories will support such districts.

Other matters, tin which the club can take effective. action, Mr. Williams said, are zoning, and beautif iration of the property in that district. The movement to convert the southeast portion ""of he city into a factory district' is said to be favored by the zoning commission, and certain ' of the taxpayers fit that section are lin ing up in opposition. Others, it is said, are supporting the plan. San Diego, Cal.,- started ' t 6 : 60 p. m. yesterday.

V i ; The, sugar industry here will boost dairying and swine breeding and .poultry - raising, and every other industry on the land. Flax, too, as a rotation crop. Every other crop. . It will put 10,000,000. people on the land in the Willam ette valley, and a million in Sa lem; . Nothing else can do that.- The sugar industry can. .Not by Itself alone, but for what It will do for other industries on the land and in the cities and towns. It is a basic, industry. Good for all time. New money made from- the soij every year. And It cannot be over done. . Not in 100 years, or 1000. m tt will put every idle and slack er acre t work. And every pound of water power. It willput still water in the Willamette. It will put on that stream a row of bar ges all the whole length of the river, from Eugene to Portland. It will make use for every foot of available timber, and all that can be grown ' by scientific reforesta tion. 'm V ; With due apologies for repeti tion: If this copy. -of The; States man should fair rotO' trie right hands, jt; woold bring Salem a beet sugar factory. The-'Tight man is somewhere in the ;I7nited States, perhaps in ' Oregon ; may be in Salem. Perhaps like the' country boy on the Dearborn Mich., farm. who a few years ago planned In his little shop to make a steam farm tractor to render plowing and other work on the land easier and more profitable and has be come the world's greatest car manufacturer and the richest man of all time. He was Henry Ford, poor but ambitious; a dreamer of dreams. He still owns the Michi gan farm, and does all -the work by machinery, and makes it pay a profit. He grows 400 acres of flax on that farm and. has a linen mill which he ia developing into a great industry, making linen tor auto tops and for brake bands. How many Henry Fords may be oa the' Salem district farms? How many future sugar manufacturers linen manufacturers, and prince of industry, with the '"Acres of Diamonds' that, are potentially here in the Salem district ia greater .measure than in any othr-r section of. the world; for this is I the land of diversity, the country oi opportunity. , . i Oregon Fire Loss Totals $234,410 in Past Month Fire losses," exclusive of Port- ' land, during the month of April aggregated 1234,410, according to a report ' prepared here Wednes- day by the ate fire marshal, a total, of 80 fires were reported. three of which. were 6f incendiary origin.

For fifty years genuine "Phil lips Milk of Magnesia has been prescribed by physicians because it overcomes three times as much ' acid In the stomach as a saturated solution of bicarbonate ot soda, leaving the stomach! sweet and free from all gases. It neutralizes acid fermentations In the bowels and gently urges the souring waste, from the system without purging. Besides, It is more . pleasant to take than soda. Insist upon "Phillips."
