Senator Smith Introduced a bill enactment of which would gift state assistance to the amount of $15,000 In building the new road from Orate creek to Mackla gulch oa the highway. The estimated cost of this piece of road building to $35, S8, but the county agreed to bear the balance. This piece of road to of greatest use aad benefit to trav elers, over the highway, being more tat than a county road. It to only the part of Justice that the state bear its part of the expense of build lag.

Here to where our people must eome into the game. The" factory was built at Grants Pass because it was reasonable to expect that the beets would be grown. ' And they will 'be grown. But to operate the fac tory at anything like capacity it will require that every available acre in this vicinity be planted. Through the Incorporation of the beet trowing company lands that belong to non residents, or that for other reasons might not be planted, caa be made to produce beets at $7 per ton, and thus add to the prosperity of the community and the success of the factory. The man who has no acre of his own to plant can buy a share of stock in the new company and grow beets without having to give his personal attention to the opera tion. He can collect bis dividend just the same. Washington. Jan. 20. The next leak investigation hearing will be held at the New Tork Customs house Tuesday morning, the house rules committee decided today. The hearings may be transferred back to Washington later. The com mittee formally retained Sherman L. Whipple of Boston, as attorney. Whipple will leave probably for New Tork to make plans for the hearing. What witnesses will be heard first will be left to Whipple. All witnesses under subpoena, Henry said, will be expected to hold themselves ready to attend any bearings on instant notice and must always tie in reach of the committee. Whipple left the salary question up to the committee. It was stated. He is quoted as saying that any ar- sp.,Dg oi amaenas onngs j wouM MtllrfKtory t0 up the vital question of beet gro- Tne of commIttee Ing. Will It pay? we told our peo-; lowed a two-hone m !-,. with ..- . pie that It would pay at $4.50 per ton. Other districts had made It pay at that Then the price was boosted, and boosted again. A ton of beets will now bring the grower 7. Irrigated lands, such as this company will' farm, win produce an average, certainly, of 15 tons per acre. Last season's experience dem onstrate that. ' So it to a safe bet that stock In the beet growing company will be pretty good stuff to own. The ' sugar company has at;reed lu supply kn expert foreman to oversee the work, it will also Hike care uf the labor problem. Hut bigKer than the question of waking the stock pay a dividend l the moral support which ownemhlp of this stock will represent. It Is every citizen's duty to get behind the enterprise, and there Is no way he can do it better than by encour aging the growing or beets. Here Is a substantial way of offering that encouragement. When every citizen has an Interest In the beet crop, there will be no room for donMing the loyalty of our people toward this great industry that came asking only for beet. tically every committeeman attend Ing. No hearing will be held Monday Whether Mrs. Ruth Viscount: wHl be the first witness. Chairman Henry said has not been determined. ' CAPTURED YARROWDALK ARRIVES AT 8WIN'KMLJK Amsterdam, Jan. 20. The British steamer Ysrrowdale, officially an nounced to have "been brought In harbor" with survivors from other prizes taken try the German raider, is at Swlnemiinde, according, to s Cologne Oazctte dispatch here today. ATLANTIC RAIDER HAS BEEN SIGHTED Rio ds Janeiro, Jan. JO. First re ports Indicating the general location of the German south Atlantic raider was received here today. The BraaU ian packet steamer Bahla report ed she had sighted a vessel, believed to be the raid sr. off the coast of Rio Grand e dl Norte oa Thursday. . The stranger was traveling north at a speed estimated at about 30 knots. No consort was sighted wfth her. (Rao Grande di Norte to one of the north easts ra states of Braall. forming the Bortheasteramoat point of the South American continent) Practically ail South American na tions are taking steps to guard the neutrality of their territorial waters. The Uruguayan government sent the steamer Coraario from Montevideo to day to patrol its coast line. The Bra xlMaa government already has dis patched several of its war vessels to back op enforcement of neutrality. (Meanwhile, dispatches up and down the 8outh American coast Indicated a concentration of allied warships In these waters. - Wireless advices from the Falkland Islands said that six British warships had sped north from there, searching for the sea terror. Pernambuco re ported arrival of two British auxiliary cruisers.

American Consul Oottsrhslk de clared today his official advices Indi cated a "pre-determined plan to avoid attacks on passenger ships to avoid possibility of the loss of life of such travelers and any International complications." Only cargo boats have so far been captured or sunk. The German ses rover Is likewise scrupulously care ful to hoist his true colors as soon as within gun range of vessels he overhaules, Judging from survivors' stories received here from Pernam buco although la most cases the raider adopted the strategeni of fly ing British colors In the pursuit. AH those who have seen the raider unite in declaring she Is capable of great speed aad some of the survi vors added that she was jammed to the batches with ammunition. Allied ship owners here have an nounced Indefinite suspension of sail ings and are still anxiously awaiting news of several vessels which are now overdue. Among these Is the British steamer Ortega. Her agents, how ever, profess optimism as to her safety. , Shipping on the Pacific coast of South America Is likewise worried over the German raider or raiders since It to generally accepted here now that the original commerce des troyer has outfitted as auxiliary raid ers, one or more of her prises. ' A number of messages have been dis patched from Santiago, Chile, to the United States discussing some means of preventing the European (bellig erents from hampering trade between the Americas. ii IPKMED Washington Jaa. SO. The Army and Navy Journal, official organ for the service news, bitterly attacked the promotion of Lieutenant-Commander Cary T. Grayson, President Wilson's personal friend aad physl dan, to be a rear-admiral la today's iue.

"To select aa officer tor promotion. not because of his personal ouallfi- cations, bat because good fortune hss Placed him in a position to win favor from the appointing power, Is to rea lise the worst fears concerning pos sible dangers of selection. "The promotion of Dr. Orayson Is equal to a promotion of about 400 numbers la the line so far as rank and pay Is concerned." Senator Harding, republican of Ohio, said today: "I do not know Dr. Grayson. I understand he Is a very, very good physician. It must be very dtscour aging to those in the service who sre striving for nromotlon on the merit lystem, to have a presidential fav orite, especially In a case of this kind. Jumped over their heads from lieutenant-commander to rear-admiral." Senator Smoot, republican or I'tan, said: 'Dr. Grayson may be aa excellent physician.
