Eberhard, ONLY 10 PER CENT SUGAR EXTRACTION AMALGAMATED COMPANY COR RECTS SOME MISTAKEN ID EAS ABOUT REFINING. La Grande, Jan. 24 Editor: Some time ago an. article appeared in. your paper giving out the Idea that whBe sugar beets might be grown hi, Wal lowa county successfully, the writer of this article thought the farmers .would net grow beets, unless the Su gar Company would pay the right prio for them. The writer said he had been informed by a man work ing for- the Sugar Company that an extraction of 300 pounds of sugar is had from each ton of beets and there fere a ton of beats should bring to the grower $15.00. In the first place the gentleman giving your correspondent, the Inform ation was either Ignorant of the facts or otherwise ha mlisH-etf tbera. We will irant the former which, how- eer, is no compliment. We take it thai the writer of the said article really a' ended It for tho good of yo.ir county but had he really want ed to get at the bottom of the facts bofpj-e going Into print he could hdv easily done so for the reason our manager, Mr. Bramwell, has al ways been within reach from whom tile truth could have been had. We are not plunging into print to censure but to apprise your many reade:s ol what is being done and! at W.st to prove that we are playing fair nd trying to do the right thing. In 1909 we harvested , 2,000,656 pounds of sugar beets, from which we made 201,880 pounds of sugar or a little over .ten percent extrac tion. It cost 119 $2.25 per bag of one hundred pounds to run, the boots through the factory, an expense the Paid .writer seemingly overlooked al together. The beets cost us. $5.56 per ton in the sheds. The price of sugar today Is $4.70 per hundred SanFran clsco base. The price of sugar fluc tuates some little, of course, but not much. Anyway we are safe In, say ing that the average price will not exceed $5.00 per bag. It may be a new thought to some, but the fact Is that In the last ton years during which time eatables of nearly all kinds have gone higher and higher in price sugar has not advanced, but on the other hand has declined right along. We have not the figures of beets har vested and cut for the year 1910 but .'.he results will be about, the same as above set out. While the percent, of sugar in the beets was. a little high er, the price) of 'ubor, etc., were cor respondingly higher. The foregoing statements can easily be verified by our office records, which give the information, item by Item. It wa3 stated by the said writer that If the Sugar company would buy bests on a sliding scale that the peo ple would- feel tetter and might grow beets. Alright, Mr. Ma:i, we are will ing to accept, this proposition, ami ars an Item of Information we give the following table which Is In ue by the American Sugar Beet Co. of Chlno, California, The Pacific Sugar Corporation, The Southern Califor nia Sugar Co. and the Losa'.ainetus Sugar Co.; 11 per cent, beets $3.50' per ton; 12 per cent beets $3.73 per ton.: 13 per cent beets $4.00 per ton; 14 per cent beets $4.25 per ton; 15 per cent beets $4.50 per ton; 16 per cent beets $1.80 per ton; 17 per cent beots( $5.10 per ton; 18 per cent beets $5.40 per ton; 19 per cent bee'js $5.70 per) ton, and so on up. The faota are that whe.a you con sider the quality of the beets, we pay more for beets than any other com pany in. the country. We pay $4.50 f. o. b. cars at any loading station. Now with these figures in. band! your correspondent and all others can eislly sea just where the truth Is and what Is what. The facts, are we have always bemeved tliat sugar beets can bp grown to a profit In Wallowa conn ty and we believe so s,'J.ll. After all It Is a plain matter of business. We taiwiot grow enough beets oursolves to make the factory pay. If the peo ple In your territory want our indus try and will grow beets we shall do our txH to be fair and honest, al ways being willing to meet the farm ers half way on the other hand If In dividual gro,wers cannot be had w will have to withdraw from tho ter ritory a:id cease operations there and 110 harm done. Th?re la every In dication that the price of hay and grain will be gieatly reduced, while i the beet crop ls sold before even I the seed U planted and at an agreed price so that growers know before baud about; what, to) count on. We be lieve there is no crop year after year that will pay the farmer better than sugar beets. In addition to the sale of beets in Wallowa count there is au exceptionally heavy foliage which makes excellent feed and Is worth at least $3 per acre. The writ er goes upon record as saying here and now that if we withdraw from jour county tliait sooner or later the people will regret the fact. Condi tions generally are changing every where and there Is no place that we know of where it Is more true than In the beautiful Wallqwa, Valley and It really looks like that a staple crop sold at a fixed price will yet be in demand. Another point to be consid ered: If you want a greater popula tion In Wallowa county something must be done to provide labor, as large holdings everywhere, retard homemaking, which Is the very back bone of any commonwealth.

Only 1 25c at all druggists, FOREST FIRES SHOW NEED OFWIDER USE FLAMES 8PREAD FASTER AND' MORE DESTRUCTIVE OVER UNGRAZED AREAS. Washington, January 30. Reports based on detailed field examinations made by National forest officers, of the lands burned over In the forest fires of last summer In. Washington and Oregon, which have been received by the U. S.Department of Agricul ture, show that the National forest timber loss in these states Is about 700,000,000 feet. This Is somewhat less than .was Indicated by the pro visional estimates' made shortly after the fires. The reports also show the importance, as a means of pro tecting the forests against fires, of the efforts which are being made by the department .to open new range to stockmen Of the National forests In Washing ton and Oregon, that on, which the fires extended over the greatest area was the Colviile, with 160,000 acres burned. The fires on; this, fo rest, however, were chiefly surface. which, are far less destructive than fires which travel through the crowns of th trees. It Is consider ed by the forest officers that the fires on this forest point clearly to the value, from the standpoint of fire prevention, of proper utilization of the range under regulated grazing. Large parts of this forest, and also jf the Chelan, Okanogan, and oth- r forests, aTe not used' by stock be cause of their inaccessibility, al though a good supply of forage Is produced. The dry grass and other herbage both spread :the flames and made them fiercer and more! destruc tive than they would have been if the land had been grazed. One of the objects, of National forest admin istration Is to open all available range to the fullest use consistent with preservation of the carrying power of the range and protection Uf forest srotrth ,n-d itfttor ouppJAos. In carrying out this principle. where good grazing grounds are at present inaccessile .to stock. the aim of National forest administration is to open means of communication through the construction of drive ways, the building of roads and trails, etc., to the end, thatf stocki may pene trate wherever forage is .to be found and grazing can properly be permit ted. Through tho building of rail roadj and the pushing forward of tho system of permanent Improve ments which ha. been planned for tho National forests of ' northern Washington, Idaho, and Montana, It is boUeved that much hitherto un used range in these forests will soon be opened' to use. The topography of some of the country Is such as to make It available only from the Can adian sld3, but American stock own ers are now beginning to work Into It from that side. Another means of opening more National forest range which Is being actively em ployed by the Department of Agri culture la the securing of conces sions from railroads In the form of rates and facilities for shipping stock In and out of regions where forage Is now going to waste. PIONEER RECALLS COLDEST WINTER EVER KNOWN HERE. II. N. Williams of Lostlne, one of the principal owners of the Lick Creek mines, was lm town Tuesday night, and reports continued prog ress at the mines, the good ore ex tending the full width of the tunnel. Mr. Williams, who Is an old plo- ner of thla valley, recalled the se verest weather known here slnca white men located In the Grande Ronde. It was the .winter of 1882, the weather being mild and rainy up to tho last of January, when the rain turned M snow, 28 Inches on the levol falling on February 1 and 2 In this valley and 30 inches In the Grande Ronde. The thermomci'.ur went down to GO-degrees below zero In Lower Valley and it registered 63 below on Telocaset hill east of Union. The .emperature did not rise higher than 20 below for two weeks. All the fruit tTocs In the Grande Ronde were frozen. 8AN FRANCISCO WINS PANAMA CANAL EXPOSITION. Washington, D.
