" -f IRRIGATION A NECESSITY The Rogue river valleyMU just good enough without water tor Irrigation tc keep Irrigation from being general. It crops could not have been grown ' here without the artificial application of water, the valley would today be producing ten-fold the corps it is to day. Had it been classed as an arid region, capital would have been readi ly available to bring the waters, which flow here In abundance, upon the acres. But there are those whq always maintain that irrigation is not needed, and they have been able to produce good enough crops to tickle them along year after year -without putting forth the effort re quired to bring irrigation. The re mits produced by the application of water prove the futility of dry farm ing in southern Oregon. The lands once placed under water are far too valuable to go without water. The truth of this should be forced home to every resident of this dis trict through the statement made hy T. R, Cutler, manager of the 16 sugar factories of the Utah-Idaho company. With his party, Mr. Cutler" .has Just completed a pretty seriously compre hensive survey of conditions in the Rogue valley. His company Was ser iously contemplating the building of Its 17th factory in the Medford ter ritory, and had made a contingent offer of construction. After viewing the growing beets Mr. Cutler an nounces that unless Jackson county can give assurance that more lands will be placed under Irrigation, no factory will be built there, and the people are given till October 1st to supply this assurance. In speaking of Mr. Cutler's visit, the Medford Sun "The Rogue river valley, said T. R. Cutler, vice-president and general manager of the company, is well suit ed as to soil and climate for the grow-; ing of beets. However, he explained, j he and his associates had found after carefully examining all the beet acre- j age in the avlley that non-Irrigated j beets are already shrinking and the be! tops beginning to wilt whereas the irrigated beets are showing up sple didly and through this sunshiny weather are showing increased gains, j "A sugar factory rannot continue to j operate, he continued, unless the' beets can be grown profitably by the farmer. Investigation convinced him j that they rannot be grown In sufficient j tonnage and high enough sugar con tent without Irrigation, to be profi table to the farmer." Charles Evans Hughes, who will probably occupy the White House after the fourth day of next March, Is coming to the state of Oregon next week. But Portland insists that the state of Oregon means Portland in politics as In everything else, and that therefore the best way to put it is that Hughes is coming to Port- land. Tentative arrangements had been made for the distinguished visit or to come through southern Oregon by daylight, leaving Portland after an extended visit In that portion for the i south on train No. 15, and making brief addresses from the car platform at Roseburg, Grants Pass, Medford, Ashland and other cities en route.

The first effort to pull the steamer Bear oft the reef on which she went two months ago, with the loss of five lives, will be made at 6:30 tonight. A tug went to the scene this after noon to attach lines to the vessel and make the first pull. It Is not expect ed that the Bear will be floated to night, however. The final pull, by several tugs, will be made Sunday. ' nntmng to uoiigt. . Tourist (at Irish hotel-You aeem tired, Pat Waiter-Yla. sorr; up very early this morning balf past 6.

A huge crowd gathered in Piazxl Colonna and cheered the army, King Victor lui manuel and General Cadorna. . In other cities Milan, Bologna, Ieg iforn and Florence great . crowds gathered in patriotic demonstrations that lasted all night. The general ronrlctton is that the war office state ment was most conservative and that Italy is on the brink of a great and decisive victory that will send Ital ian armies marching on Trieste. "This Is only the beginning of op erations promising great develop ments," said the newspaper Corrlerl d'ltalla. Indisputably, the enemy's front has been broken. The censor Is now permitting pub lication of some despatches relating to the beginning of the Isotuo of fensive. The drive began shortly after daybreak Sunday, with a steady hall of Italian shells for a period of nine hours along a 20-mile front extend ing down the Isonto to the Adriatic. Italian warships In the upper Ad riatic supported the land artillery with a bombardment of the Austrian left wing. "No such awe-lnspiiing'casrade of fire ever before has (been witnessed on the Italian front," wired one Ital ian correspondent. "So violent were the Incessant earthquake-like phe nomena produced by the big shells that houses In the Gorlts plain were shattered or collapsed solely through force of the seismic waves. The mouths of vast caverns on the Car go plateau In which thousands of Austrian troops had sought refuge were choked by tons of debris and converted into living to nibs. "At 4 o'clock In the afternoon the order was gl vendor the Infantry to leave their trenches. The spectacle of these hardy warriors as they bounded forth recalled the heroes of legendard lore. Many of their front ranks wore around their helmets a floral garland, specially woven by the women of Thlene, Schlo, Vorastica and VIeenza. With the stirring cry of 'Great Italy forever,' they bounded across the dales at the bridgehead and further down scaled the lilies of Carso plateau, engaging In hand-to- hand struggles. At the head of the main forces ran men hearing aloft big white discs mounted on slender, grey green pole, so as to guide the Runners In lifting their range as the infantry advanced." , . . $415.70 . 400.70 Ford runabout in . . $275.

Westrup of Monterey, in a letter, says: "There was less difficulty in the clrculaUon ot money but with news of the raid a chill ran through bus iness." Villa raids, however, with the puni tive expeditions, have,been outlived and offset. With mines opening; with unprecedented rains assisting crops; with money rising and a presi dential election in sight, the outlook for Mexicans in Mexico is better than it has been for several years.
