ALLIES ENGAGE IN BOMBARDING POLA COPENHAGEN, Dec. HI, via Lon don, 11:45 a. m. A private dispatch received hero from Berlin says more than thirty French nnd Driti-h war ships are nt present engaged in gom banling Poln, the Austrian nnvnl base on the Adriatic, am also the seaport of Kouigno, nbout fifteen miles away. There is reason to expect naval ag gression on tho part of the allies at Pola. Recent reports have indicated activity in this field. Several days ago a French submarine went into tho harbor of Pola, but did not return.

First Epoch, Gold Discovery; Second, Comlnn of Railroad; Third Will Date From the Beflinnlnrj of Culture of Suflsr Dcct, Uslierlnii In an Era of Intensified Farmlnu. UV WELLBORN BEESON. Tho third epoch in Lie history of the Rogue River vnllcy is now begin ning. The first epoch was tho dis cover of gold nt Jacksonville. Tlio second was the completion of. tlm railroad connecting us with tho out side world. The third epoch will data from the beginning of tho culture of. the sugar beef. Tho enrofu! intensi fied fanning (and irrigation) neces sary to make beet eultnro successful will stimulate and inevenso Iho mnr fcet for and production of all other crop nnd bring an era of real pros perity. Iteniotcs llnndlrap The one handicap the lack of market under which tho Rogue River valley producer has always la bored, is hj the establishment of tho sugar industry removed. Not only is tlioro a cash market made for tbo beets produced, but there is nlso fro nted a ready cash market for a vast amount of other products. The num ber of regularly employed laborers will bo greatly increased, supplying our one great need, a payroll. In my mind, tho very greatest ben efit thnt will accrue to farmers .from the establishment of the sugar indus' try will he the impetus given the pro duction of ,ly.Jggk, gJsnc.kn vast nniounfof 'cheap nniTviiiiiaiiio stock food as the best pulp will provide, ftlvcs Itcveniio It is estimated that between 35,000, nnd 40,000 cords of wood nro burned annually in this vulley. This new in dustry, it is stated, Avill use between 20,000 and 25,000 cords. It will take the nnnual output of any sawmill how operating in Jackson county to put up the buildings if lumber is used. A four-pound beet is woith ono cent. If you havo n crop growing you can tell what you tonvo coming hy counting your beets, making pure they weigh four pounds, which can easily he dotio hy care and attention, as u four-pound beet is not a largo beet. A perfect stand of beets on an ncro planted in twenty-inch rows ten inches npnrt in the row, would bo about 31,000. Oolileu ('bunco Securing this industrv is our great opportunity. Every effort should bo mndo to get it. Do not got excited and offer to plant too large nn aero age, for there nro bound to ho some failures. But nil be optimistic nnd plant n few ueros, thus more widely testing the adaptability of our soils for sugar productions uud thus so curing the plant. Plow AVell A few words about plewing: Plow ing is tlio primary operation of all agriculture, and unless tho plowing is properly done no crop will ho a complete success, and if lightly done no crop in this climate will bo a failure.
