COMMUNICATIONS
Favors Si;ar Beets '
To the Editer:
The leading members of the beet
stiar committee hare stated that I
nin opposing the establishment of n
beet sunr factory nnd that 1 am ex
erting my influence to defeat thir
efforts in securine;tho required acre
age accessary for the establishment
of such a factory in this valley.
1 desire to state in answer to this
charge that I am not opposing and
never huvo opposed the erection of a
beet stigar factory. Neither have I
used my influence with other land
owners to prevent their fcigniug up
beet sugur ucrcngc.
On tho contrary, I a'tn heartily in
favor of the oreetiou and operation
of siifh n factory, providing suffic
ient acreage of the proper kind of
Miil for growing btignr beets can he
obtained.
I consider thnt the intensive culti
vation which would bo necessary for
tho successful growing of sugar
beets nnd tho conseaucntal rotation
of crops would more than double the
productive value of tho laud upon
which the heels were grown, to say
untlung of the sugar beet pulp for
btook-fceding purposes.
I have not signed up any acreage.
My reason for not doing so U n bus
iness reason purely, which I consider
good and sufficient, and has no bcur
ing whatever with my opinion as to
the great value which the successful
growing of sugar beets would be to
thu laud owners of Jtoguo River val
ley. lint I wish to add that I am op
posed ami shall continue to oppose
the establishment and operation oT
the district system of irrigation, and
the coiiBequentnl bonding of land
owners in Hogue Itiver valley. It is
plainly evident that the laws govern
ing tho dintrict system were passed
in the aid of land owners located in
mid regions, and I consider tho in
voking of these laws for tho estab
lishment or tho district system in the
Hujjtio River valley us unjust in prin
ciple and impraolicablo nt this time.
Yours vurv truly,
FRANK K. UPTON.
Central 1'oiut, Jnnuar- 10, 1915.
To tho Editer:
So many misleading statements
nro atloat regarding beet raising that
muny nro kept from signing up on ac
count of 'talk that la all tommy-rot.
One man tells a lot of would-bo grow,
era that tho largo atzed beets will all
bo thrown out can't be handled.
Another says, any beets broken In
any wuy leak out tho sugar, render
ing thorn unfit for sale, another says
beets that liavo boon irrigated are
low In, test, making Jho prlco per ton,
too low to bo profitable, whtlo anoth
or many saya uo land will prow beets
without an abundance or water.
Each Htory holps the tenderfoot to
back down and the chances are half
of tho same men don't know a
sugar beet from a mangle wurzel
beet, Bomo ot them never saw a
beqt, unless it was a "dead-beet."
And U ilila beet factory is not built
there will be an oyer production of
that commodity in the Roguo river
vaHey in the next few years.
Mr, Farmer you raise the beets, the
factory will do the rest,

BILL 10 ABOLISH
OF
SAL1.M, Ore., Jan. 20. A Mil
changing tho judicial system of tho
state nnd providing for eight addi
tional circuit judges Is being urc
pared by Senator W. I.alr Thompson,
president of the senate.
Among the chief features of the
bill nro tho abolition ot tho office of
county judge, transferring tho pro-'
bnto work to tho circuit courts; tho
creation of a circuit court of appeals,
and the creation of eight new circuit
judgeships.
it Is argued that the saving by the
abolition of tho office of county
judge will moro than offset the added
expense to result from tho eight now
circuit Judgeships, nud In addition
tho outlying counties will bo better
served by tho circuit courts.
According to tho bill the circuit
Judges will bo apportioned as fal fal
eows: Baker, ono Judge; Clackamas, one
Judge; Clatsop and Columbia, one
judge; Coos nnd Curry, one judge;
Crook and Jefferson, one judge;
Douglas, ono Judge; Grants and Har
ney, ono Judge; Malheur, one Judge;
Jackson, one judge; Josephine, one
Judgo; Klamath, ono judge; Lake.
one judge; Lane and Benton, two
Judges; Linn and Marlon, two judges;
Gilliam and Sherman, ono judge;
Morrow and Wheeler, ono Judge
Umatilla, ono Judge; Union and Wal
lowa, ono Judge; Wasco and Hood
nivcr, ono judge; Washington, ono
Judge; Yamhill and Tillamook, one
judge; Polk and Lincoln, one Judge,
nnd Multnomah, six Judges.
Tho proposed circuit court of ap
peals would be given jurisdiction over
all cases appealed from the circuit
court in which amounts Involved are
not over $500, and where titles to
property, and a number of other
points are not Involved. Tho state
would be divided into two districts.
In each district the court would con
sist of thrco circuit Judges to be
named by tho chief Justice ot tho su
preme court. In tho first district the
court would sit in Portland, and in
tho second district it would hold ses
sions in Pendleton.

LEADERS PLEAD
GUILTY TO PLOT
FORT SMITH, Aik., Jan. 20.
Seven defendants in the Prairie
Creek coal mine conspiracy cases
pleaded guilty when they appeared
for trial in the federal court here to
day. Among those who entered the
plea were Peter It. Stuart of McAl-et-ter,
Okln., former president of the
United Mine Workers of America,
district No. 21, and Fred V. Holt of
MeAlestcr, former secretary of the
district union.
The others who pleaded "tiilty were

ment. They will be sentenced this
afternoon.
ine government entered nolle
prosso in the ensc of Y. W. Rob
erts, former manager of a telephone
company nt Mansfield, Ark., nnd
eleven other defendants. The case of
John Edwards, a merchant of Hart
ford, Ark., wns left on the docket
without action by the court.
The action of the seven defendants
who entered pleas of guilty nnd that
of the government came ns n surprise.
Jlireo hundred witnesses had been
summoned and it was exacted the.
trinl would last several weeks.
Today's action probably brings to

SOISSONS BATTLE
E
WASHINGTON, I). C, Jan. 30.
"Ever since tho beginning of history
In western Kurox Solasons, Htorin
center of tho uio.it bitter fighting of
recent weeks In the western war
theater, hao taken a prominently
chronicled tnrt,"'gays a statement Is
sued by thu National Geographic so
ciety today. "Before the Roman tide,
directed by Julius Caesar, flowed
over Gaul, Solcsons, thou a metropolis
In a nation of twelve cities, was the
capttal of tho warlike Suesslonns,
ono of the most powerful peoples In
Gaul. Dlvttlncus, one of their kings,
had even managed to extend his au
thority beyond tho sea, among the
Britons."
"Sols8ons Is a small town pictures
quely sltunted among well-forested
hlls, on the left bank of the Alsno.
It lies C5 miles northeast ot Parts,
and constitutes one ot the links In tho
chain of French second-line defenses.
The region all about Solssons is
agricultural, and tho city's trade Is
mostly in grains, vegetables, live
stock, leather and forest products.
Manufactures of the place aro not of
great Impertance: they consist of
leather, foundry products, flannel nnd
cotton cloth nnd farm Implements.
There nro extenslvo lumber yards in
tho city.
Importance Waning
"Tho one-time Importance of Sols
sons has long been waning. The siege,
bombardment, sack and brand of war
have been repeated often In the exper
iences of tho city, and seem at last
to have tapped Its will for further
growth. Ono of tho oldest cities In
Frnnce, there nro ery few cities In
the republic which liavo scon more
rugged battlo service.
"It wns known ns Novlodunum to
tho conquering Itomnns. Under
Roman rule, it became n strategic
point in tho Empire's northern do
tense. It wns here that Clovls ob
tained. In 4SG, his famous victory
over the Boinnu general, Syagrlus,
which expelled Home from Gaul and
brought in tho Germans. Holssons
beenmo capital of tho Prankish king
dom, but soon resumed Its position as
borderland between tho Latinized
German of tho Prankish kingdom and
tho Germans of beyond the Rhine.
Famous Old Abbeys
"There nro a number of mauos old
abbeys In Solssons, and prlvato build
ings of centuries ago. Tho royal ab
bey of Notcr Dame, now a barrack,
was founded In 060; that ot St. Me
dard, or which little now remains,
was founded about 500 by Clotalre I.
At one tlmo this abbey was among
the most powerful In Frnnce. Its
abbots coined money, nnd were lords
of moro than 200 Ivllages. Ono or
two meager fragments nre all that Is
loft from its ancient splendor.
"Solsfons has tnken part In all tho
wars of Frnnce. It stood with tho
Gauls agnlnst the Itouinnu, until King
Galba submitted to Ccasar, whon the
German onslaught south began, nn
onslaught which, for Solssons,. baa
lasted, with more or 1cm lengthy per
iods of respite, for nenrly 2000 years.
