"Ton have a most wonderful coun try- here in the Rorie Talley," was the way T. R. Cutler, manager of the Utah-Idaho Sugar company, with Its IS great factories, expressed Ills im pression of the district after return ing from a trip through portions tri butary to Grants Pass. . "When I first cam into the valley from' the north I saw hills and moun tains, and I wondered if sugar beets would hav to grow on forest trees. Bat bow I know that you can grow very flu beets on th Talley lands, and then yon ham the Um nd the wood and the water and all the other seeded things right at hand." . Sir. Cutler had returned from a trip np the Applegate and Williams valleys to the lime deposit near Wil liams. He was most pleased with the quality of the lime stone seen, great quantities of which must be Used in - the factory in the refining of ' the sugar. Asked regarding th crops of beets that he had seen during the day, Mr. Cutler said that they were most satisfactory in growth. Some of the farms were not yet in the best of condition for beet farming, he said, and in others the farmers had not used due care In getting the rows straight, and so would find diffi culty In cultivating and irrigating. He, expressed satisfaction, however, at the general appearance of the . fields which he had seen' in view of the fact that It was the first season of beet farming in southern Oregon. Shown samples of beets from the fields of Bert Ciute on the Applegate, Mr. Cutler pronounced them as per fect in form, and much more ad vanced In growth than any In the Utah or Idaho beet districts. He said that ' the length of root which the beets here were attaining was re markable, and the form could not be Improved upon. One of the beets from the Clute field measured 25 Inches from top of leaf to tip of root. The progress of work upon the factory was satisfactory, said Mr. Cutler, who assured the Courier that the Institution would be ready to commence making sugar as soon as the beets were ready to harvest. The visitor was much Interested In the story of Grants Pass' efforts to solve the freight rate hsndicap, and he commended the enterprise and the spirit that prompted the voting of bonds for the building of a railroad to the coast He said he expected that for the first year or two In the life of the sugar factory the local demands wonld use most of the pro duct, but after that the question of rates would be a material one, and an outlet to the sea was of much Im portance. "I find a great similarity in your country here and in the cantons of Switzerland," remarked Mr. Cutler, In referring to the fertile vales that reached back everywhere Into the hills and mountains. He predicted that some day when agriculture was older here he would see the fertile acres farmed as intensively as were the farms of Switzerland, and that what we now' classed as our waste places would be put to some good use.

During th year chromic Iron ore valued at SSt.744 was mined, an increase of f 58,039 over 1914. The greatly Increased demand for domes tic ebromite, consequent upon condi tions abroad, has resulted in a large ly augmented production of chromlte at many places In California. Until lately California has been the only producing state, but within the last few months production has com menced In southwest Oregon, near Grants Pass and Riddle. The success that attended the ef forts of the Ladies' Auxiliary In the rose festival speaks for the excellence of the team work of the various com mittees. The parade was good, many of the decorated vehicles being works of art. while the "Made-ln-Oregon" dinner, the baby show, the rose dis play, and all the other features were commendable. The festival marks th completion of the work of the outgoing president of the Auxiliary. Mrs. Mollis Beldlng. Monday Is the day of the annual school meeting and election. The conduct of the public schools Is about as important a matter as the average citizen has to Interest himself in, in a public way, yet practically none of the citizens of the district take In terest enough In it to attend the an nual meeting. Often a dozen voters will register their wish at the elec tion of director, the rest of the voters staying at home, but later doing the kicking.
