Tho beet sugar situation today Is
that everybody wants to seo tho es
tablishment of a half million dollar
fuetory In tho valley, but no one wants
to do tho work necessary to the sue
rewful production of beets. The
commltteo In chargo ot securing
acreage has ran afoul or this senti
ment, nnd when they overcome It, so
curo signatures from flvo acres up,
Thcro will be a mass meeting of land
owners, fruitgrowers, farmers and
others at tho Nat this afternoon nt
2.00 o'clock, -when an effort will bo
mado to sectiro ncreago directly trib
utary to Mcdford.
According to tho committee be
tween COO and COO acres has been
signed up to date, with an excellent
chance that this nmount will ho
trebled. A peculiar fcaturo of tho
campaign is that nono are opposed to
tho beet sugar factory, but everybody
is waiting for others to tako the
chnnco. There Is also the fear that
tho beet sugar acreage will cut down
tho hay crop and make feed for
stock short. Tho factory would pro
duce the best stock feed in tho world,
besides thcro Is plenty of room for
both hay and beet production.
A good meeting was held at Phoenix-
Friday and Quito an acreage
signed up.

Sign lighting and decorative lighting rates arc based on tho same sched
ule and the same reduction per watt of the consumption applies.
By acquiring, owning and operating its own distributing system and
purchasing current on the basis of rates offered, the city can pay the interest
on tho bond issue necessary to install an adequate and modern distributing
system, pay cost of operation, insurance, depreciation, betterments, sinking
fund, transmission loss, incidentals, etc.. and still have a sufficiently wide inar
gin to create a surplus, which in time will provide a means for a further de
crease in your lighting and power bills or lessen your taxes.
There should be no mystery eonneeteil with the buying 01 Hcllinjj of eleelrie eurieiil any more
than any of the other commodities neeehMiry in our everyday life. Ah it hIiiiiiN, the layman in cirti
filled by the rent number of technical teruiH and lie U not in u posilinn to determine, without nu c.xpeit
in whom lie Iiiih nlnoluto confidence, nt heel, whether nuy change in bin electiieal ciuimcut or
mode of supply will increase or reduce the cost of hi current consumption. While the individual can
not have the benefit of sound, expert uilvicc ul lit h command nt nil timer), the citizens of u community
can, through their organization as n city, maintain n competent electrical bureau in charge of mi
cxpeit, thoroughly equipped in the way of technical electrical knowledge, nnd net mil practice to beep
the cost of electric, current to the coiisiuuerrt down to u minimum, nnd thist is the only method whereby
tho individual cnumimcr may have hm individual reiuiicinenln properly stuff Kiuinlt'il.
In addition to reducing the cost of lighting and power Io tho prewent citizens mid iudiistiieit of
your city, cheap elect rio power ineaiix new imlustiici nnd greater activity in the development of your -city
nnd vicinity, uk cheap power is one of tlio greatest fuctont in the tlevclojiment of any city or stco..
lion of our country; the proposition made to your council by lliiH company provides that should tho
city deem it ndvantageoiiH to enconrngo new indutrieti,hy giving nu extra low rale on power, Iho
.company will stuud ';tn proportion of such reduction.
Mr.VirjPAi, LIOHTINO

The company is the successor to nil of tlio offoit mado in the past by thirteen companies with
