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. ,

William J. Bryan, former secretary of
state, started today on his second
day's tour of Wyoming In support of
President Wilson and the democratic
ticket, with tho program calling for
a number of speeches. Mr. Bryan
speaking here last night, appealed for

and Mexico.
The speaker charged the republi
can party was unable to cope with
tho problems that will save the United
States at the close of the European
war.
Mr. Bryan declared tho republican
party had been "unscrupulous" In Hs
methods concerning votes for women
In suffrage states. He warned the
democratic women to beware of "r-
j publican trickery."

Why Are Manufacturers
So Particular to Wrap
Their Tires?
BECAUSE: They know that sun
light rots rubber. 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.
We have all sizes specially priced.

The new Ford cars are up-to-the-minute In ap
pearance, with large radiator and enclosed fan,
hood with full streamline effect, crown fenders
front and rear, black finish with nickel trim
mings a snappy car and with all the depend
able, enduring and economical qualities that
have made the Ford "The Universal Car." One
fact Is worth more than a ton of guesses. Ford
cars are selling from five to ten over any and tU
other cars, simply because they give more satli
factory service, last longjr and are easier to oper
ate and cost less to maintain and there's no
guessing about the reliability of Ford Service.
