Tho Farmers nnjl Fruitgrowers
Bank has contracted with the Ameri

polis, Minn., for a triple nutomatlc
electrical system of vault protection,
to bo placed in the bank. It will
tako about CO days to build this won

living soul can enter or forco an en

following statement:
"El Paso reports that General

TUESDAY TO BOOST
FOR SUGAR BEETS
The cro-l of the campaign for the
establishment of a beet sugar fac
tory in the llogue River valley will be
reached next Tuesday, "Beet Snijar"
dny, when the stores of the city will
close and each merchant, booster und
eiliren with community interest und
civic pride in his system will answer
the call mid go out and strive to se
cure signers to the most important
industrial opportunity in the history
of tho valley.
The coming of this important proj
ect depends upon t'u action taken the
next few days. Many have said they
will increase their acreage, provided
they can see the nnmes of some of
the largest landowners ntlaehcd lo
contracts. Considering its impor
tnnee to thi section from an indus
trial, economic and prosjwrity stand
point, there nrc assurances, but not in
a concrete form, that victory will
crown the efforts of tho committee
in charge.
Poseburg, Eugene and Salem an
rivals of southern Oregon for the lo
cation of the beet sugar fuctory. The
newspapers of these three Willam
ette valley towns are cditoriallv and
through their news columns agitating
the need, nnd making anything hut n
feeble effort to induce the sugar in
terests to come to their vicinity.
A few nre befuddled on the finan
cial status of the company seeking a
location in this section. According to
Mnyor-eleet Emcriek, who has viewed
the transformation of southern Idaho
from a sagebrush waste to a garden
through sugar heels, the Western
Amnlgamnted Sugar company could
buy everything in the noguc Pivcr
valley at the going price nnd not miss
the money. Dun nnd Pradstreets put
their credit ns "unlimited."
MERCHANTS AGREE TO
CLOSE STORES TUESDAY
The beet sugar day has been post
poned from Saturday to Tuesday and
an effort is being made to have tho
merchants of the city oos their re
spective places of business on this
day. All those visited yesterday af
ternoon promised to comply with the
wishes of tho officers of tho associa
tion and give their support In the
Industrial proportion. Following is
a list of the merchants visited yester
day and who agreed to spend all day
Tuesday In a campaign for sugar beet
acreage: K. F. Schmidt, Warner.
