IN his address at the Josephine county fair one of the offi cials of the Utah-Idaho Sugar company stated that to date the company hud expended $791,192 in building the Grants Pass sugar factory, and that by the time the fac tory is completed the investment will exceed a million dollars. ' The following details of expenditures were given: To the railroads for freight, $56,739; for the construction of beet sheds, silos, sewer, offices, etc., $144,528; for labor payroll, $91,036; for local material, $61,456; advanced to farmers for beet cultivation, $19,440. Attention was called to the imperative need of irriga tion to make beet growing a success. Without water beets are not a profitable crop in the Rogue River valley nor is a sugar factory a profitable investment. These figures show what the erection of a sugar factory means to a community. Its operation means even more, furnishing a steady market for a profitable crop, supplying a payroll and utilizing large quantities of local products. It is hoped that the Grants Pass factory will prove a success. To make it a success will, however, require a very much larger area of beets than is in sight this season. Two weeks' run of the factory will consume the' limited acre age. These conditions do not justify a million-dollar in vestment. If the factory is to remain at its present loca tion the people of Josephine county will have to furnish aii adequate acreage of beets otherwise the factory will be moved to some location that will for this is history repeating itself. In order to produce the beets an ade quate irrigation system must be first installed, and to this end the people of Josephine county must work. In placing a sugar factory ahead of irrigation the fac tory promoters got the cart before the horse. They will not repeat the performance in this end of the valley. There will be no sugar factory at Medford until the Valley is under irrigation and there should not be one, for it could not be operated successfully. Irrigation is the great essential to the valley's prosper ity. "Without irrigation there will be no large cannery. Without irrigation fruit raising remains a gamble. With out water crop failures are frequent. Without water there is no demand for land, no sale for property and no fixed realty values, (liven irrigation, and all other agricultural and industrial problems will work themselves out. Irrigation is not only needed as crop insurance, but as crop increaser. With water the farmer can double his yield of alfalfa and other crops. With the object lessons apparent on every side, everyone should see the advantage of water and hasten to secure it. Land owners and farmers should exert every effort to secure the extension of water systems for the coming year for now is the time to act. As baptism with water signifies spiritual salvation for the individual, so does irrigation signify salvation for the land in the Rogue River valley. THE MASK IS OFF THE Guggenheim, Morgan, Vanderbilt, Hughes, Bel mont woman's special train is about to leave New York on its transcontinental campaign trip in the interest of Mr. Hughes. The advent of this crowd into. American politics is another luxury that the world war has thrust upon us. In peace, this crowd is usually "abroad," snobbishly apeing the manners of royalty and acquiring a perfectly proper English accent, "don't cher know." That they have been driven to the extremity of leaving their poodle dogs, cigarettes and bridge to mingle with the common people, "deuced vulgar -what we call peasantry abroad, you know" is a compliment to President Wilson and his administration and the inroads it has made on the entrenchments of plutocracy and privilege. Compare these elegant creatures of luxury and case to Jane Addams, Ida Tarhell and other women whose lives have been devoted to noble aims and purposes and who are supporting Woodrow Wilson upon' moral and social grounds and take your choice, women of Oregon.'" The mask is off. Privilege, Plutocracy and Greed are behind Mr. Hughes' campaign and he, like the ass, "know- ot n ins master. , SI OF OLD PEOPLE'S HOI HARTFORD, Conn., Sept. 21.

That when exposed to light rubber hardens, loses elastic ity, which ruins tires. But you carry your spare tire ex posed to the sun's rays, suffering a serious loss in -life and efficiency, which could easily be avoided by pro tecting them with a tire cover.
