A description of tho importance of the new cnnnl, military and commer cial, and u brief survey of the steps lending to its construction, prepared for tho National Geographic society by Commodore J. W. Miller, was is sued here tednv: "Tho Capo Cod canal has not only more shipping in sight than Suez, but it is also, next to the Panama canal, as regards tho defense of the coun try, one of the most important water way improvements ever undertaken. A study of the chronology and his tory of the Cape Cod problem shows thut since the days of the revolution continued stress has been laid upon its military aspect. Its importance as an interior lino of defense is greater today than ever before. "Jtcsides enhancing the security of this country's eastern seaboard, the canal eliminates for commercial ship ping the highly dangerous passage around Cape Cod between Iloston nnd New York. The way around the cape, with its fog nnd wind storms, its shonls nnd sunken reefs, is one of ihe most ttcaeherous sen lanes in the world frequented by heavy traffic It is estimated that at least 2000 ves sels have been wrecked in iVneyard sound, without the cape, and in the Nantucket KhoitU region between 18411 and HUH, U08 of which were a total loss. About 700 fislunneit huvt lost their lives here owiinr to th fact that tho long arm of the cape pre vented them from reaching a haven in sudden storms. Cape Cod has been culled 'The Graveyard of Ship-. "The canal is wider and deeper than I)e I.oSsep's original canal at Suez. It has a modem up-to-date channel, comparable in dinieii-inns to tho ones ut Kiel and Manchester. It crosses near tho shoulder of the cape where the pilgrim fathers of mure than ten generations ago decided that such a canal should he constructed. George Washington recommended Un building of a sea-level waterway here, and it has been put forward nt frequent intervals. If Massachusetts hnd acted during the era of canal building, when Now York built the Erie, and Virginia the Chesapeake canal, she might have wrested the murine supremacy from the Hudson ut a cost trivial compared to the money spent upon tho two former canals.

Concerning beet pulp as a cattle food, 0. 0. Hoover, who owns a dairy near Medford, states: I have tried all kinds or feed, experimented with all, with oil-meat, bran, shorts, etc., nnd 1 have found beet pulp superior to nil, oven nt $26 " ton. It has Increased the flow of milk from ten to twenty per cont, kept tho cattle In prime- condition, and 1 will be glad to sign a contract for all 1 can get produced hero. "Why send money out of the country to buy what we can produce locally I Pulp is but one of the bi-products of the sturm beet. It is one, though, of immense importance to the stock-raisers, who should do all in their power to help secure the desired acreage to assure a factory here. Beet tops are the most readily handled of till these by products. In most of the fields in sugar beet districts they are grazed off by cattle and sheep, and in spite of the fact that this method is wasteful, the results are of the highest value. The tops amount to about SO per cent, by weight, of the roots harvested, and careful study of the results from feeding to both dairy and beef cattle show that they are productive of great gains in milk and in flesh. In the beet fields the fanners are giving more and more attention to the fattening of livestock, and in some sections the German custom of siloing the tops, either with or with out the addition of pulp, is beginning to be practiced. The siloed tops have a nutritive value of 50 per cent more than fermented pulp, and the cost of this treatment is low. The pulp, which is the residue after till that can be saved of the saccharine content, has been extracted from the beet in the complicated processes in the factory, is the second in value of the by-products. Jt is run off in the form of a wet mass into large excavations, in which it is permitted to ferment. It is then hauled away by fanners of tho neighborhood for feeding cattle, and in some places is fed by the producing company to its own herds and flocks. It contains about 10 per cent of digestible pro teins, or only a little less than alfalfa, and besides 90 per cent of carbohydrates and fat a combination that excels any food grown in any part of the country. It is also dried, ground for shipment. At the rate of beet production that has obtained for several veal's the fields of Colorado yield upward of 57S, 000 tons of pulp, or enough to feed 115,000 cattle for 100 days, the usual feeding period, or ten times as many sheep for the same time. "When dried, this pulp has a still higher value as a finishing feed, and is besides more transport able. Molasses, the last of the by-products, is what is left of the beet juice after the extraction of the granulated sugar. It still contains 50 per cent of sugar, and in volume it is equal to about sixty pounds to the ton of roots. Its feed ing value in conjunction with the tops, or pulp, or alfalfa, has been recognized for years, and it is a common food for horses and mules in the south, while in Germany it is fed in combination -with bran and other products. The horses of the German army are fed molasses mixed with peat. In this and neighboring states the mixture of molasses with straw has been found to produce good effects, both with cattle and sheep, as well as with horses. "CHEAP VARLETS" THE PORTLAND OREGONIAN'S attempt to dictate to the governor, and organize both houses of the leg islature by the election of Ben Selling as speaker of the house and Lair Thompson as president of the senate, has aroused widespread indignation throughout the state. There is scarcely a newspaper that has an opinion of its own that is not open in its condemnation. "Whatever the outcome of the speakership the Orcgonian and the lancitul ambitions ot its editor are doomed. Two veam ago the Orcgonian succeeded in organizing both houses. The result was whose headquarters are in Portland and whose ramiuca tions extend throughout the state, were presented with everything they desired. Allied with the Orcgonian fire these sinister corporate interests. For a month past the Multnomah delegation has been holding a viiinn legislature, framing up, under the dicta tion of the Orcgonian, the program to put through at Sa lem. In this preliminary work the Orcgonian 7s rcpresen tative is V. 13. Burke, tried to foist off on Governor Withycombc as his secre tary. Regarding Burke, the Orcgonian a few years since said: Of all tho cheap stinking creatures who ever entered a legislative body through false pretenbcs nnd base lies, Cole and Ilurko of Multnomah county or nowhere aro easily chief. These creatures nevor hud any consideration before never will again. They earner ly embraced tho only opportunity of their lives to bo infamous through misrepresentation of those who elected them. Cheap varlets, lmso colstrlls, they cannot over live In Multnomah county hereafter hecauso nobody will trust thoin. Multnomah county will not be betrayed ngnln. But Rui'kc is the right man in the right place, doing the Orcgonian 's dirty work today. carefully selected that In only about ono quarter of tho confinements Is tho Twilight Sleep employed.

TODAY. JANUARY 8. 1lfi. What a Sugar Factory Means to Shall bo luwo a beet sugar factory in tho Itoguo lllver valley? This question can bo answered alone by the land owners of the val ley. A boot sugar factory ennuol bo operated without boots. What does the boot sugar Interests ask of us? They ask no bonus, out they ask Tor an opportunity to buy nil tho boots that can bo produced on nt least r000 acres of laud. Is It possible to secure this acreage? It la, If the farmers will show an Interest by signing up ucrcngo. llul this means you. Why Is It possible to secure a beet sugar factory nt this tlmo? Hecauso tho war In lluropo has practically stopped tho production of the sugar boot and 11 will bo luipossl. bio to produce anything like the nor mal tonnage ot Uolglum, Oermany, Austria, and France, for years to come owing both to the scarcity of labor and tho devastation wrought by the war. Uccatisc the soil nnd climatic condi tions In tho Itoguo Ulver valley nro most favorable to the success of the Industry for both producer and nuinu facturor. lteports from our agricul tural college and the United States department of agriculture show through experiment tbnt a largo ton nago of beets per acre may bo expect ed In this valley, and that tho iwrcen tage of saccharine (sugar) content Is higher hero than tho average of tho regions where tho Industry has been most successful. Uecnu-o tho beet sugar Interests were attracted to this district through knowledge ot tho above facts. Why Is tho beot sugar factory ques tion creating so much interest? Hecauso It appeals to every resi dent of tho Iloguo Ulver valley as a way out of difficulties. Tho farmer and fruitgrower have been nsklng for an assured cash market for their pro ducts. Tho towns have been asking for Increased population and payrolls to stlmulnto gencrat business. It seems that wo havo at Inst found something which has the hearty sup port ot all sections ot tho community and something which asks no promo tion money front this section. Is Irrigation necessary to successful beet growing It Is not. Thoro Is amide acreago In tho bottom soils ot Hear creek, Roguo river and all tho tributary creeks and Isolated free soils to pro duce enough beets for two factories ot tho slzo of trio ono contemplated, but there aro many soils where beets could absolutely not be grown with out tvator. How am I to 'know whether soils that I have arc adapted to beet grow ing? The beet Interests havo provided a gcntlemnn, Mr. S, Story, whoso scrvl ccs are being paid for by subscription of a number of enthusiastic residents, whoso sole duty It is to pass upon your soil and stato whether or not you can successfully grow boots. Ilo has unfortunately turned down nu merous acreages offered because the factory operates on tho principle that unless tho beet grower can produce on an average 10 tons to tho ncro bo will not be a satisfied grower, and hence will hurt them moro than himself by discouraging tho future growing of beets. Tho sugar factory will thus ho located In this section by tho sugar company's confldcnco In this gentle man, therefore wo may rely upon hla Judgment ot our soil. How am I to obtain tho labor to work my land? Tho beet factory will guarnntco to provldo you nil tho labor necessary nt tho proper time to successfully grow your beets, Importing such labor as cannot bo provided locally. This extra labor may bo performed by contract at n fixed price per acre, tho laborers providing their own accommodations, board, etc. Do I not understand that tho cost of raising an aero of beets Is very high? Yes, a liberal ostlmato of tho cost of producing and marketing Is $35 an acre. How can I then afford to grow 20 acres of boots? Hero again tho beot sugar factory considers you In tho light of a partner who must succeed for Its own welfare. After planting your boots it you nro unablo to meet the necessary exponses In tho various operations of growing, tho factory makes a practice ot ad vancing a largo part or all of your expenses In attending to tho beot growing and to tho labor Items. How do I know that it will not cost mo morn than SSli to grow nnd har vest an ncro of beets? It will cost you To plow f 2,fiu To subsoil .-......, 2.50 To drug and smooth 1.00 Seed 2,25 Plant 50 John A. Perl UNDERTAKER Lady Assistant 18 S, DAHTIiKTT Phonra M. 47 mu4 47-J1 &jubuc4 ferric DhM?

While you yourself know that most of those operations can bo done nt this cost, tho boot factory will furnish jou the labor, advance you tho pay and guar antee the costs by having any of those operations done nt tho above figures, How will I know the pioper time to do my thinning and other opera tions In this gtowlng, which Is a now thing to mo? Upon tho establishment of tho fac tory there will bo ono uport In each ot four or five sections who will do nothing but advise and Insist upon your doing coitaln operations at n certain tlmo. Tho factory Is again an Interested partner for It must have tho boots to operate success fully. How inn I niako any money with a :ir. cost? A doflnlto contract 1 not yot drawn, but the minimum stnrtlng point will undoubtedly bo $ t.50 nt any railroad siding, or K per ton ut tho factory for beets having n sac- cbnrlno content up to 1 1 per cent. For each additional 2 per cont sac charine content an additional fifty cents will undoubtedly bo pnld so )ou mny got as high as $5 or $7 per ton. Ilnsod un n minimum average pro duction of 15 tons tho gross price will thus bo ffi7.i0, or a not profit of fit?. 50 por acre. Hut remember Ibis when you sell your hay for ?I0 per ton you huvo not usually do- ducted your own pny. In the case of tho sugar hoot you wilt havo paid yourself at least 25 por cent to 50 per cent of your $35 cost of produc tion. Can I expert to produce moro than 15 tons per acre? Yes, tests havo boon made In this valley that havo shown ns high as 35 tons per ncro, but 25 tons will bo u largo producttop. Docs not tho sugar beet wear out tho soil? On the contrary tho soil will con tinue to Improve. Soil consecutively worked will Increase In production up to the fourth year. Is It worn out thou? No. It Is in Ideal condition for seeding to nlfalfn, grain or other crops. The soil Is admirably pro pared for alfalfa planting. , Aro the tops cut off from tho boot of any use? Yes. thoy make the finest kind of stock feed. Cnn I buy tho pulp left from tho sugar beet factory for feeding cattle? You can If you grow beets. Tho factory will charge you Icit sixty cents to ft. 00 n ton. Is that fairly cheap Wo are Importing it today Into the valley dried at $28 per ton. Cnn I top off stoors with this boot feed?
