MORE EXPERT TESTIMONY.
Sugar beet culture haa been a fo
lux Industry In Utah and Colorado
and other states tor many years past,
and the ' beet as a crop haa been
pretty veil established. It has be
come just as staple la many sections
as is wheat or corn In others, and
the average yield that can be expect
ed has been determined through
years of culture. When experts lell
at, therefore, that the nest beets eve!
seen growing at the period of growth
el those In the Rogue ralley are
right here. It comes aa the strongest
kind of a testimonial. Bishop C. W.
NIbley has Just returned to Salt Lake
city after rlslting the Rogue ralley,
and the Deseret News says the fol
lowing: "Bishop C. W. Nibley, who has re
turned from a visit to Oregon and
Washington, says the sugar beets be
ing grown for the Grants Pass fac
tory look unusually well, in fact the
beat patches exceed any beets he ever
beheld at the same time of year."
The spring In the Rogue ralley, as
elsewhere In the agricultural dis
tricts, was not the best for the plant
ing and early growth of crops, and It
la moat encouraging to know that
theee men who are experts speak ao
highly of the Rogue ralley beets. It
stamps this district as perfectly
adapted to beet culture. The fact
that' all fields of beets do not come
up to, the mark should discourage
no one. There were lessons to be
learned, and the first year was the
year to learn them. Next year there
will be fewer mistakes made In the
planting, for it is now demonstrated
that, given a fair chance, our beets
can distance all competition. It is
freely predicted that records are to
be made by Rogue ralley beeta this
year -.

SENATE FOR BIG NAVY.
(Tontloied from page 1.)
' OREGON AS AN EXAMPLE.
California is already entering upon
her next campaign against booze,
with Oregon supplying much of the
campaign argument for both sides of
the question. In the face of the fact
that practically every city In Oregon
shows an Improved condition of fin
ances, the banks have more money on
deposit, Indebtedness ha. been de
creased, and the general tone of busi
ness Is much better than a year ago,
it is difficult to see where the sup
porter, of John Barleycorn will get
much comfort from the purely indus
trial side of the argument. Now
comes the statement that the num
ber of criminal, sent to tbe Oregon
state penitentiary for the first six
months of the year Is reduced by 41
per cent over a like period of last
year. This Is ample proof that liquor
is responsible for the most of the
crime, and that without liquor there
will be less expense upon the state
through the operation of its criminal
courts and of Its penal Institutions.
The licenses received from the legal
ized tale of liquor never did pay one
half the added coBt of courts and of
the care of criminals made such
through booze. If the people of Cali
fornia are not blinded through pre
judice, they will see in Oregon a
shining example of the benefits fol
lowing the outlawing of the liquor
traffic. ' California will soon join the
