That the Oregon-Utah sugar beet company has let the contract for a $600,000 sugar refinery to handle the beets that are to be hereafter grown in tbe Rogue River valley of southern Oregon is good news not only to this section but to the entire state. Grants Pass Is to be congratulated upon securing the factory location. That was made possible by the prompt action of the enterprising farmers of that vicinity la signing agreements to plant enough acres In beets next year so that the factory would be assured of profitable busi ness. It has been clearly shown by soil analysis that southern Oregon, es pecially the Rogue River valley, is jwell adapted to growth of sugar beets, and the factory at Grants Pass mar be one of several In that sec- itlon, provided the farmers will plant ii. v. Vntkln lui hn K (100 acres will warrant the establishment ot a factory, but the success of the first one wiU provoke a rivalry among the farmers ot the various sections. tlNOTUG TO PEAR SAYS CONSUL BOPP San Francisco, Feb. 9.

Washington dispatches recent ly Indicated, however, that the fed eral government was withholding ac tion until such time as the Lusltanla case was settled. 'Announcement of the indictment against him followed directly upon word of a satisfactory ending to the Lusltanla negotiations. This is the first indictment ot a high foreign afflclal since the govern ment started probing alleged nation wide bomb plots. In most of the cases the federal officials will merely serve notice of the indictments as soon as they are publicly recorded and rely upon the prominence ot the defendants to Insure their remaining in the city for hearing later. Washington, Feb. . The state department must know more details about the cases In which German Consul Bopp of San Francisco, Vice- Consul von Schack, Chancellor Kauff man and Turkish Consul Hall have been indicted before any decision will be made about cancelling their exe- quateurs. It was stated today. Copies of the Indictments have been turned over to Secretary Lansing. It Is as sumed he approved of the Justice de partment's course In bringing them at San Francisco, as It had been un derstood previously that the state and justice departments were co-operating with each other ln bomb and neutral ity Investigations. Justice department officials regard the San Francisco cases as baring two of the boldest neutrality violation matters since their investigation started. Confessions of "Count" Van Kool- bergen, now held as an alleged forger In Canada, were the basis for the In dictments. Koolbergen, it was al leged, contracted to blow up Cana dian tunnels for the German con sulate at San Francisco.

Most, if not all, large estab lished nurseries work on the established principle "that one thing at a time and that done well" Is better than en deavoring to do several things and excelling In none. Large nurseries devote their entire time, thought and energies In producing GOOD TREES. You can get all your trees from the same source trees that are all grown under the same conditions of soil and treatment, insuring you uni form trees a uniform orchard. Established nurseries, by rea son of their being established, Insure you getting trees from them that are TRUE TO NAME. Large, established nurseries are not frequently changing management, selling out, dis continuing business, etc., like the "boom-tlme-skln-'era-qlck-and-get-away" fellow. Permanent nurserlea are In terested ln you making a sac cess with their trees, and in ad dition to furnishing you GOOD TREES are able and willing to give you helpful advice and in struction on the fcest varieties to plant, how to overcome some difficulty with your trees and various other features of im portance to you. The large, established nur sery publishes and distributes, usually free, lnrgo catalogues containing valuable informa tion for your aflRlstance; they give you the benefit of their wide experience.

T4e Immediate ratine of this sntls faitory termination of a dangerous controversy Is known to have been the report Colonel House forwarded as President Wilson's personal en voy. i While the contents of this report may never bo made public, It is un derstood that House emphasised con ditions he found In Germany to have been; ! A spirit that Germany had made her final concessions, i A growing demand for resumption of unrestrained submarine warfare as a result of the feeling against America. A feeling that severance of diplo matic relations would Inevitably re sult in war. Ambassador Gerard also forward ed pessimistic reports ot what would happen it the president did nut ac cept Germany's "last word." The two sets of reports, therefore. convinced the administration that Germany would not offer any fnr- ther concessions In an effort to settle the case. While the German proposals are acceptable in spirit to President Wil son, their wording Is not exactly as he desires, The forthcoming reply from Ocr many. It Is understood, will not con tain the word disavowal, thoufj the administration all along aemanaou that there must be a disavowal. In stead, it will set forth la effect that belligerents can not legally order any act, even a reprisal, that endangers neutral lives. It does not specifically admit that the Lusltanla incident was illegal. In the matter of reprisals, America held they may be Justifiable some times, but never legal.
