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.

PULP AND PAPER MILLS.
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.
