' ; The average amount 01 revenue per year for the last 15 years has been $656,000, so that it will be seen that the advance is about in keeping with the development of the state and the increased needs of the state iastitutions.

A week ago last Saturday dur ing the absence ot A. A. Meeks and family from their home in the Irish Bend country, some contemptible cur entered the! house and committed various depredations. Whoever the par- tv was. he deserves a term in the "pen." The acts committed evidence the most malicious, disposition. The party entered the house and tore picture albums into sureds, silk handkerchiefs were cut into pieces with a sharp knife, two shoteuns were broken and other things about the house destroyed. The perpetrator of the outrage went into the barn and cut the tugs of two sets of harness. He visited the smoke house and took his knife and slashed a number of hams. Some bacon was thrown on the ground ind tramped into the dirt. A number ot cans oi lard had their- lids removed and ashes were thrown over the con tents. Anything so malicious, despicable and outrageous is not often heard of in any section. This is the second offence of the kind that Mr. Meeks has suffered and it is thought the same party is the author of both. Beaver Creek School Notes. this state and siys that while it is a great industry, those who produce the beets do not own the land as a general thing and are not able to prosper in the business. The. sugar factory is located at La Grande and is owned by Mormons. The beets are nearly all produced by Mor mons. The land on which the beets are produced, in nine cases out of ten, is owned by the pro prietors of the factory and they sub-let it to Mormons practically on their own terms. Where the company sells land they stipulate that a .certain number of acres is to be planted in beets, -for a certain term of years. Accord - . . 1.1 mg to tne ierms on waitu iuc company rents or sells land it is pretty hard for those who have ust acquired posession to make anything. As high as ten carloads ot beets are shipped from Union to La Grande daily during the season. These beets are said to be the finest sugar beets produced in this state.
