S.

Soil Expert Storey telephoned from Grants Pass Wednesday night that but 210 acres had been nctuully slgned up and accepted In that sec tion, out of n reported 2000 acres, and that It wa his duty to report to his chiefs, that It would bo fallacy Tor them to attempt to operate a beet sugar factory In this valley at this time, for tho solo reason that tho acreage signed did not Justify It. The beet sugar committee bellovo they will eventually secure a factory here. Thoy feel that It could havo been secured with more time, and that tho month's campaign has been the medium of educating landowners antl farmers to thw value of beet cul tur, and that In the fall when tho campaign is renewed, the securing of ncrengo will bo easy. Tho lateness of the season Is the Sole reason double the acreage was not secured. CANAL CUTS RAILROAD RATES (Conttlnuod from Page 1.) business of supplying customers on tho Pacific." Carload rates on coal and pig Iron may bo less to the Pacific coast than to Intermediate points but tho rates on such articles to the higher rated Intermediate points must not exceed five mills perton mile. "The Pacific coast terminals to which these rates will apply," says the explanation, aro tho points at which tho Atlantic-Pacific steamships deliver their freight." New Km Ilcgun "It Is evident from tho whole rec ord," says the commission's opinion, "that whatever may have been the degree of competition in the past be tween the rail carriers and the water carriers as to the rates on these ar ticles, concerning which additional re lief is now sought, we nro witnessing the beginning of a new era of trans portation between tho Atlantic and the Pacific coasts. "To securo any considerable per centage ot this coast to coast traffic rates on many commodities must bo established by the rail lines material ly lower than thoso now existing. As wo view It, the Panama canal is to be oue of the agencies of transporta tion between the cast and tho west, but not necessarily tho sole carrier. If tho railroads arc able to mako such rates from tho Atlantic seaboard to tho Pacific coast as will hold to their lines so mo portion of this traffic with profit to themselves they should bo permitted to do so. The nccep- anco ot this traffic will add some thing to their net revenues, and to that extent decrease, nnd not In crease the burden that must bo borne by othor traffic. It will also glvo the shippers at the coast points tho benefits or an additional and a com petitive kervlco. Penult (niM-tItlun "Wo aro of tho opinion that thoso carrlera should be permitted to com pote for this long distance traffic so long as It may bo secured at rates which clearly cover tho out-of-pocket cost." The commission saya that fow, if any, of the Intervening Interests real ly opposo the petition of tho carrlors, but that tho lnter-mountain territory protested. Tho commission suggests that tho railroads themselves re-adjust tho so called "back-haul" rates from the Pacific coast to points Inland, WASHINGTON', Feb. 10.
