SALE CONTINUES THIS WEEK BERNARD MILLINERY OPPOSITE POSTOFFICE COLORADO MAN SEES VALUE IN THE BEET INDUSTRY Another former resident of the beet-growing district of Colorado has been attracted to Grants Pass through the' effort to locate a beet sugar factory In the valley. O. U Smith has arrived her with his fam ily, and if the factory Is a go will locate. Mr. Smith says that he has seen what the beet growing Industry will do for Colorado and he knows what it will do for the Rogue valley. He formerly lived In the Greeley dis trict. When the first sugar factory was built there some of the farmers were a bit skeptical, and were slow to sign acreage. The second year, however, says Mr. Smith, they came n strong and where a farmer had tinned only one acre he would plant 20, and tho big planters Increased In proportion. The third year the factory at Greeley could not grind all the beets supplied, and some were shipped elsewhere, and a second fac tory was built at Windsor, eight miles away, and still another at Fort Collins, 14 miles beyond. The price paid for beets, says Mr. Smith, was a minimum of $4.50 per ton, and he considers that the contract offered here Is a liberal one, so liberal In fact that he wants to try beet grow ing under It. VILLA MEETS DEFEAT. (Continued. from page 1.) claimed the advantage. They said Villa's onslaught had been repulsed, and that they were In a position now to maintain the town Indefinitely. Villa's attack was from the south. His guns therefore could not fall to send bullets over Douglas. When tho battle first raged early In the evening and It looked as though It might continue all night, many per sons In this city sought safety In hotel lobbies out of range of fire. Today Donglas kept discreetly In doors. Schools and ' smelters were closed. The people did not manifest quite as much curiosity as during previous 'battles. Tho Vllllstas scored a daring coup during the night. Twenty snipers sneaked across the American border and shattered two of the Carranzlsta searchlights which were playing on Villa's army and making the work of the Carranza guns easy. Then they made their way back under the cover of darkness, with out being located by American pa trols. The artillery firo, tore up Agun Prlnta visibly for two hours before Villa's night assault began. The first Villa night nHHault started at 0:40 lant evening. For a time It seemed gonoral, but after the VIlllHtas had reached tho wire entanglements fac ing the Carranzlsta trenches, tho fir ing coaHctl. Sporadic renowuls oc curred later In tho evening, ibut tho real action did not open until After midnight, Carransistas claimed the VUllsta losses were heavy; tholr own slight, More than 200 ot Villa! men, they aid, bad fallen. MANY SEAMEN ARE EXAMINED UNDER NEW LAW (Ily United Tress Leased Wire) Sun Francisco. Nov. 3.--Working feverishly all day physicians sought to test enough seamen under the sea men's law so that no ships wlir bave to go out short-handed or cancel salllitKS. Published reports that ouly 45 out of 2,000 seatun subject to the act hereabouts had passed came In tor angry donlal front government offi cials today. Supervising Inspector ot Steamships Uutgor's figures show ed that 50 out ot 53 or 54 men ex amined had passed. Moreover, he pointed put that there had been 375 applicants, and as far as hi records Indicated there are not 2,000 to which tbo act Is applicable. Furthermore the officials must base tholr figures on applications, not es timates. Bulger did not shure ship ping men's apprehension that some sailings may have to bo cancelled to meet the requirement that 40 per cent of tho crew shall be able bodied seamen. His office was jammed with soa men this morning. Steamship com panies aided In getting men up for examination by furnishing automo biles to carry them to and from the docks. Dulger hinted that the fact that few men have thus far qualified Is due rather to the Inability to get them examined than to any strin gency of the new law. Fully 50 men were waiting In his offices at the time, and more were coming continually. He said he and other officers Intended to carry out the law Thursday, but he was' not apprehensive that It will ibe necessary to cancel sailings or for any ships to go to sea short-handed, San Francisco, Nov. 2. Fewer than 70 per cent of the applicants for physical testa under the new seamen's law have passed it.
