Gov't Report ,.. . .0--.J i.. r .,, ! iris a J El XifW Absolutely pure BEET SUGAR FACTORY. Such an Institution Will be Erected in Washington County by a German Professor, The following from the Corvallis limes would give the reader the Im pression that Oregon is soon to have a neci sugar factory: "It is a beet sugar factory, but it is not to be located in Corvallis or Benton county. Its establishment seems as sured, because tlie move in its behalf lias been on foot for some time, and a large amount of stock has already oeeu tauen. The promoter of the enterprise has been in Corvallis for several days, but he left for Tlgard- vine, Washington county, where tlie factory is to be built. "The promoter is Richard Kuehne and h is a German. For three years he was expert in the sugar beet factory oftheOxreard.Beet Sugar company, Grand Island, Nebraska, and for twenty years he was chemist In a great sugar beet establishment at Posen, Germany. He knows all about beets and how to make sutrar out of them. In fact, his fatherland was the ptoueer in the production of sugar from beets, and what is not known in the production of sugar from beets In Germany, is not wortli knowing. 'Prof. Kuehne came to Corvallis on business connected with his proposed Washington county enterprise. With him he brought many samples of sugar beets grown in Washington county and to test them for their sugar I product was his business. He spent three dayB in tlie chemical laboratory of the O. A. C, where, with Prof. Shaw, station chemist, the Washing ton county beets were tested and other information gathered that was of satisfactory result to Prof. Kuehne, and he left for Washington couutv in good spirits. ' 'Oregon is one of the best places on earth for the manufacture of beet sugar,' said tbe professor, 'The average per cent of sugar in sugar beets grown in Oregon is 14,9 per cent: in Germany it Is only 13 Der cent; In France 12 per cent. The beet crop is a most excellent one for the tanners, because it is a profitable oue. It takes twenty pounds of seed at fifteen cents per pound to plant an acre of beets. That is $3 for seed, und the yield Is from seventeen to twenty eight tons per acre. We contract to take beets that yield sugaratthe rate of 12 to 14 per cent at $4 50 per ton. Por every one per cent of sugar yield above 14 per cent, we pay fifty cents per ton extra. That Is to say, beets yielding 15 per oent sugar would bring $5 per ton, and if the yield were twenty tons per acre, the gross income would be $100 per acre. Oregon Is peculiarly adapted to beet sugar manufacture aud it is only a matter ot time until factories for the purpose will dot the Willamette valley. "For many years beet sugar was manufactured at a profit with machinery that could only extract 60 per cent of the sugar from the beet. Latei improvements iu machinery now flu, the average of siviug at 92 per cent. A peculiur fact concerning uugar beet culture is, that the white land, so common iu the Willamette valley, after being drained, produces tlie best beets for sugar. The percentage of sugar beets grown iu sueii land is the greatest. All soil in the state, however, except beaver dam land, is adapted to sugar beet cul ture. There's more etolhing destroyed by poor soap tliau by actual wear as tbe free alkali lots them. Hoe Cake Is pure, and only 5 cents.

The one will be Started up the Santiam and the Other Probably in Albany, ' Albany Herald: Tbe Niagara saw mill property, located at Niagara, on the eastern division of the O. C. & E, railroad on the North Santiam was recently sold by the assignee to O'Neil Brotnera & Callahan. O'Neil Brm. are proprietors of the paper mills at Lebanon and the purchase was made for the purpose of converting the saw mill plant Into a pulp mill. The mill cost about $20,000 and there la abundant water power there for any aina or manufacturing There is aim an abundance of hemlock timber iu that region and further up the San tiam are large Quantities of halm timber, both of which are used In making pulp. It is the intention of the coinnanv also to start a large paper mill for the manufacture of all kinds of finished paper. The mill at Lebanon makes brown straw paper only. The location of the mill may be in Albany, as both lines or railroad and the river offer superior shipping facilities. Mr. O'luell went up to Niagara to look over the plaut there. It is learn. ed that he has been netrotlatinir for r. suitable location iu Albany for the paper mill, and It is hoped he will be able to secure what Is wanted. Suchau enterprise would be an im portant addition to the manufacturing interests of this portion of the state, and would mean much for Albany. O'Neil Bros, have made a success of the paper mi 11 at Lebanon. Tbev are enterprising men of means, and are abundantly able to carry out this en larged undertaking. It is to be hoped tneir piaiiB will be carried out and the enterprise started. Severe Storm. The Eugene Guard learns that a fatal catastrophe was the result of the storm 9 miles this side of Head of Tide where the Indian creek road leaves the niaiu Siuslaw road. An old house, the property of Mrs. Fuuk, stands at the Junction of the two roads. It was built partly of lumber aud partly of logs aud was insecure from age and had not been ocoupled for some time. William Abbett with bis wife aud two children, and his brother, who had five children, from Indian Creek, had started out to the valley, They reached the junction of the roads when the storm overtook them aud camped for the night. They sought shelter from the wind and the rain In the deserted house, The storm In creased In violence and raged with re lentless destruction through the forest about the cabin. At 4 o'clock Sunday morning tlie buildiug suddenly yield ed, gave way to the storm and came down with a crash. Nearly all the ten people in tne wrecked structure were pinioned dawn by the tailing timbers. Mrs. Abbett, wife of Wm. Abbett, was struck on the head by a falling beam, which crushed in her skull. She died in a short time. Tbe other members of the party succeeded iu iutrluaiing themselves from the ruins, none of them having suffered serious Injury.
