There Is a reason why Dollar day, as observed In many of the progres- elve northwestern communities, has registered a distinct success. In fact there are two reasons. One reason is that It has pxqtm.. food thin for the merchant The other la that it hs prove a good thine; tor the pnrchasing public Put these two reasons: together and you have a third reason It benefits the com mnnity. Dollar day gives the merchant an opportunity to offer variety of bar gains at prices that mast make them popular. They bring out from hid ing many a coin that is helping to make hard times while it remains in hiding, and that will help dispel the gloom when it can get from un der cover and reflect a little ot the sunlight of prosperity. It is the dollar kept out of circulation that forma the blood clot upon the com mercial body then we have Indus trial paralysis,' A glance at the Dollar day adver tisements published elsewhere in the paper today will indicate to you that Dollar day will also be a real day of bargains. A dollar will go farther and buy more in Grants Pass next Saturday than in any other place in the northwest When you buy two dollars' worth ot goods for one dollar next Satur day, you have beneflted yourself by just the amount ot the saving and you have started the dollar out on its mission as the advance agent of prosperity. s s s AN OPPORTUNITY TO GRASP. The campaign that will determine whether or not the Rogue valley is to have a beet sugar factory built In time to handle the crop ot 1916 will be launched this week. Mr. Nibley, the secretary of the company formed to build the factory, will arrive in Grants Pass Monday and will be join ed here by F. S. Bramwell, the field manager for the company. It is stated by these gentlemen that all that is required ot the valley is the guarantee that the product ot 5,000 acres ot beets will be sold them an nually for conversion into the sugar of commerce at the factory. Without this assurance the factory could not operate profitably. It would appear that the chance is all being taken by the factory people. If the land owner can con tract bis product for a term of years, he has solved the problem of mar ket and of price and can bend his energies toward making the soil 'pro duce its maximum. The land owner would be no worse off if the factory should not continue to operate after a year or two, for hlB land will be in better condition for other crops after having grown beets. But there is no danger that the factory would not operate successfully if the re quired acreage is planted to beets each year. And after the first year the acreage will sorely Increase. The producers of the Rogue valley have been seeking for years to find some crop that could be grown in the young orchards and produce a living for the orchardlst while his trees were reaching 4he bearing age. The beet is that crop. The man who is always looking for the bugaboo or for the fly In the oint ment tells us that there is no help hero to euro for the beet crop, Tho contract that the grower is asked to sign takes care of this, and the fac tory people will provide the help. They will also advance money on the crop tor tta planting and cultivation. The 'beet business looks like a cinch. and the man with land adapted to beet culture should lose no time in getting a contract through which he can sell his crop tor the next five years. APPRAISING THE RESERVE. The assessor over in Lincoln county has started an agitation throughout the state of Oregon for the appraisement by the assessors of the lands within the forest reserves, In a letter which he haa addressed to the officials of the various coun ties he asks that provision may be made for the arrival at the values of the reserve lands that there may deflB,te jaU concerning the cost f of th. corintr based upon the lands that pay taxes and those that do not The making of thl8 apprtlMment in a county like M M auUe w6nWi M u wou,d Uft I nevertheless. Josephine finds prao- tlcally 50 per cent of her are within the forest reserve. Seventy-four per cent of the area Is either within the reserve or Med up la O. 0. land grant that may coon be within the reserve u tne enons oi certain gentlemen back In the east bear re sults. The argument Is often put forth that the lands within the re serve have no value other than for the purposes of the reserve, but an appraisement upon the same general basis as the valuations of the bal ance of the counties would give some thing tangible upon which to base a plea to have areas released from the reserve. And the west is now in terested in the reduction of the re serve area rather than In Its In crease. Dollar day can only be made a suc cess it the merchants offer real bar gains. That the bargain will bring the dollar was shown by the results at Portland and other citias where Dollar day was celebrated. Even barbers and restaurants increased their business 50 per cent by the offer of special inducements for the day. The lumber industry of the west suffered first when the people ot the east commenced to retrench in busi ness. When building stopped the de mand for lumber naturally stopped and the mills were quiet. The move ment ot lumber to the east is now the first influence of better business conditions In that direction. It is the direct result of activity in eastern factories and mills.
