Why should Kastcrn Orofion not be

periments in Union anil Wallowa
counties. Iiavo proven conclusively
thatsoryhiiniisintlicnions to the soil
anil can be grown successfully. 1 lorc
tofore the ponderous and expensive
machinery necessary in manufactur
ing sugar from Mtrglimn, lias been u
great draw back to the development of
this intlnst.iy , but the inventive gen
ious of the age has overcome the dilli
culty to a great extent. Commission
er Coleman has just made an olllcial
visit, to Fort Scott, Kan., where the
department of agriculture U conduct
ing experiments in making sugar from
sorghum by the diffusion process, and
and expresses himself as being delight
ed with the results obtained already.
He say tho experiment consists in Iho
trial of a new process in making sugar
in thi country, which dispenses en
tirely with costly and ponderous mills 1
and steam engines etc. , and use a
tar simpler and lesh expansive method j
for extracting the juice, by which nil I
the saccharine matter is obtained, in
steul of about half, as heretofore. '
The new process, is called the dilfusion j
or siliimtioii process. The cane is cut ,
into chip-, and pressed into u battery
of twelvi ct!ll each holding a ton of
chips. Hot water i then applied,
which rapidly exhausts the saccharine
matter, and o thoroughly that there
is scarcely a trace of it Iclt. The cells
are eutirelv practical, being speedily
lilted, manipulated and emptied one
man attending to the entire operation.
Tho mill at Tort Scott is capable of
worUintr ui) every twentv four hours i which
one hundred and lifty tons of cane, j

If the prosperity ot a town and the
public sprit of its citizens are indicat-
ed by the appearance of tho advertis
jing columns of its new paper, the

the comparison of other

and making therefrom 18,000 pounds
of suirar, or more. A yield of from
It a to liftecu tons of cane per acre was
being seemed, which would produce,
by this new process, from l-'OO to
l.iOO pounds of sugar. This sugar is
worth, by car load, " one-half cents
per pound. Nor is HiK all. To eve
ry ton of cane, aside fioin the sugar in
it, there arc. some ten or twelve gal
lons of molasses and abo the seed rais
ed upon tl e cane, amounting to about
live bushels per acre, and just, as good
for feeding all kiitd or stock as Indian
corn. Indeed, the seed, it is estima
ted, will do for raising cane, which i
a merit possewd by no other sugar
plant .
The department is alo conducting
manufactory experiments in Now
.lersey. "The results of these exper
iments upon the country." says com
inissiouor Coleman, "will, I believe,
bo most beneficial. Our nation is pay
ing SlOO.OOO.ooo. annually to tho sug
ar producer iof other countries, and if
wo have 'demonstrated that we can
profitably produco it on our own farms
it is a matter or the highest, import
ance to tho country. It. will not only
keep this money at. homo, but will
save to our people $?.', 000, 000, annual
ly in custom duties. I cannot see
why our people should not go to mak
ing sugar. A complete sugar factory
will cost about as much as a lloiiring
mill, and can be run at a great, protil,
according to present experiments.
Fanners are glad to niio rain at $'J
per ton, and at that il pays better
th'iu other farm products. I look nit
on the experiments as being as im
portant to this country .as tho inven
tion of the cotton "in. They liuvo t And all
demonstrated that we have a sugar
plant that can be grown and converted
profitably into sugar, south of the .".'.Mb
parallel (.out of reach of early frosts)
lo the Cult df Mexico, anil that this
conntrv can ami will be independent,
of eery other nation tor sugar. This
new process will be tried on sugar
cane. ' '
AVe sen no reason why our farmers
cannot engage in the culture of sorgh
um, and the mnuufacture of sugar, j
with prolit. We advise them to try it. 1
raise wheat and have Untiring'
coiimuiiv? Other towns not as
as Union have organized them. We
are at pein e with everybody , there is
not a hostile red man anywhere near,
and it looks to ur like it would be
reasonably sale to be a soldier. Why
not try it?

A pclitio is being circulated in La
tirande praying the city council to
compel all business men to close their
places ot business on Sunday. It takes
all kinds of people to make a world, l
and it is quite evident that the cranks
arc still numerous. One .lew lirm,
