In Mark Twain's immortal

pleasures and dreams of typi

There is all you have ever
loved or cussed in a boy in
"HUCKLEBERRY

If you have

Sawyer" or
'Huck and Tom'
you wU not
want to miss the
third one.
If you did not see the firs:

tc-tifiel that Alexander Xililev ami
Krank Uraniwcll, the eouipanv's rci-rci-ntativM
who first came to start
the iro.iei-t of erec-tinz a guear 1W.
fa' torv in the vallev. hud said to him
self and other leading bufeines men
of Medford that "00(l acres of Kiicnr
beet land must he siuTied m in the
vallev to insure the estahlishujent of
n i'actorv, and that whichever cit.
Grants I'ass or Jledl'ord, which si!i"d
up the most acreage would get the
location of the plant.
The mayor further testified rflnt
after Medford business men had sign
ed mi between 3311(1 and 3&00 acres,
which seemed to insure this eitv the
factorv, Alexander Kiblev refused to
liositivelv state that Medford would
yet'the factorv. merely saving that his
lather, liislmij Nibley, woidd come out
from Suit Lake (Jitv. and. choose the
factorv location. Hence the Medford
men, towards the last, held back .1300
signed un acres from Xiblev.
Then the Medford business men got
more suspicions, especially as t'.iey
had just learned for the first time that
fieorge K. Sanders, then of (Jran'.s
Pass, apparently had much to do
with the company and might have a
considerable sav as' to whether the
I'actorv would go to Grants l'ass or
Medford, the mavor testified. lie
staled further that after the cornponv
hud decided on Grants l'ass the Med
ford business men leilrned for the
first time that Medford would have
been expected to help finance the fac
torv if it hud been located here.
On cross examination -Mavor (rates
said that Colonel J. V. Mundv of Med
ford had been working here for seve
ral weeks onthe project of estublish-
jng nn independent beet sugar factory
ill' Medford in the full of lillf. before
Nil'lev and Hi'amwell appeared on the
scene, an dstarted their project. He
said that Mundv continued his ef
forts and afterwards started organiz
ing a comnnnv in which Frank Owen
pu $25,000 or $30,000.
However, Mayor Gates and the
commercial club worked hard to -m
up the acreage to have the L'tuh-lduho
company located here. He testified
that at first Nibley stipulated that all
land signed up must bo for five years,
and later changed this to permit of
one nnd two-vear contracts. The
company's soil expert, Mjv Slorev.
passed on all the signed-up land in
December 1015 and January. 1016.
"Our farmers planted 800 acres to
incur beets the first season." con
tinued the mavor. . I shipped beets
raised just outside of Medford to the
exposition at San Fduncisco, which
won first prize, a gold medal and cer
tificate. That must have been some
beet. I never knew any one in this
company deal except Nibley and
ltraniweU." '
The mavor testified that Mundv
was sure of putting in a factory until
he failed 'to nt beet seed, when
Mundy's whole -plan blew up. '
Somebody had bought up ull'the
seed was the report.
When Miivor Gates resumed the
witness stand this forenoon he testi
fied that he hud hail a talk with
Alexander Nibley in the spring ' of
lOKi, while Colonel Mundv was in
Now York trying to get beet seed, in
which Nibley said that Mainly could
not get any beet seed,, and said his
company hud covered all the beet
seed in the country. Hence, he is
Dot afraid of Mumlv's plan to estab
lish aa independent factorv in the
Untrue Kiver valley.
Inder cross examination Judge
Stroup, the company's attorney, asked
Mavor (lutes, ''You think it was a mis
take to locate the I'actorv in Grants
l'ass?" "
"Yes, 1 do, whv even the company
admitted it later,", was the reply.
"Yes, we admit it was n mistake."
hastily dejoiucd Judge Stroup, who
could go no further as Attorney Jtcor
raised strenuous objection to both
lliu lines! inn and unswer.
Other witnesses today were Prof.
