FEDERAL SUGAR
The Medford henring against the
Utah-Idaho Beet Sugar company on
the charge of unfair competition and
conspiracy in restraint or trade, came
to an end unexpectedly late yesterday
afternoon. The federal trade commis
sion party will leave Saturday morn
ing for San Francisco to continue the
hearing there next week, will go to
New York city to hear other phases
I of the case, and from there will go
to Salt Lake City to finish taking
testimony, and where the hulk of the
evidence of the defense will he heard.
There is a possibility that the party
will return to .Medford at a future
date to take other testimony here.
It is not known why the hearing
here was discontinued, hut the an
nouncement that adjournment had
heen taken to San Krancisco created
surprise, as it had been expected that
it would take several days more at
least to hear further .Medford and
Grants Pass testimony. It was com
mon talk that the government would
place Colonel J. F. Mundy on the
stand and that his direct testimony
and cross examination would probab
ly take up two days. There is a pos
sibility that ho will he summoned
either to San Francisco or Salt hake
city to give his testimony.
II. C. Carnett was the last witness
examined yesterday afternoon, lie
testified along the lino that the T'lah
Idaho company officials had given
the .Medford business men to under
stand thut. if a 5000 sugar beet, grow
ing acreage was signed up in the val
ley a factory would be located at
Jledford.
Tho testimony of the previous wit
ness, Franklyn S. nramwell of llrants
Pass, was interesting. lie was put
on the stand by Special Attorney Heer
for the commission, who showed him
certain copies of correspondence be
tween himself and tleorge E. Sanders
of Salt Lake City, which presumably
was obtained from Sanders' letter
files, and which llratnwell identified.
.Mr. Dramwell was field man with
Alexander Xihley in tho efforts to
establish a sugar beet factory in the
Itogue itiver valley, and he told of
the details that led up to the final
location of tho factory at Grants Pass
by the Nibley organisation known. as
the Oregon-Utah Sugar company,
which was later taken over by the
Utah-Idaho company.
.Mi"' nramwell told that1- early in
1914 Colonel J. F. Mundy worked
with himself and Alexander Txibley

MINNEAPOLIS, May 7. A high
er wheat market tho past two days
was reflected in an advance of 25
cents a barrel for flour at one of the
mills here today. Family patents in
carload lots in its-pound cotton sacks
were quoted at $14. S3 a barrel at
this place.
for the establishment of a factory in
the valley hut that Mundy's services
in this lino of effort were eventually
dispensed with, after which Colonel
.Mundy became disgruntled at the
company and in 1910 started an inde
pendent beet sugar factory proposi
tion of his own, which was nipped in
the bud thru the cornering of all the
beet seed by the Utah-Idaho company

BUILDING 10 BE
CLEANED, PAINTED
Tlio Chamber of Commerce rooms-'
are to receive a thoro renovation and
painters will take charge this next
week. This was decided at a recent
meeting of the board of directors
after they had carefully considered
the needs of the quarters. The grain
display will be removed and as the
crop conditions are so favorable this
season, a very good exhibit of grains
and grasses will bo available after the
harvest season. Fanners who have
good crops of grains, are requested to
save several sheafs for exhibit pur
poses and they should notify the man
agement of the chamber that the
same may be obtained from them.
There will be a good mineral dis
play shown, yet the same can be con
siderably improved by tho co-operation
-of the miners of this district.
The mineral wealth In this locality i
coming into its own faster than the
people of iledford realize and there
fore there should be every encourage
ment in Us development.
Outside of a few photographs of
the timber tributary to .Medford,
there Is nothing on hand at the ex
hibit room to show of this wonderful
resource. A section of a big log, or
several largo logs, placed on tho out
side of the building so that the same
may be seen by the passengers on tin1
trains passing thru would be an im
pressive reminder that this is a big
timber district.
Besides that of having a good fresh
fruit display during the coming sum
mer an attempt Is to be made to re
new the processed fruit display. Tlui
display now in the exhibit room was
processed in ID I I, was shipped to the
Panama-Pacific International exposi
tion where it was on exhibit for an
entire year and then shipped back to
.Medford. Due to tho long exposure
of this fruit to tho high light, it has
faded and in some instances Is hardly
recognized on account of its loss of
its original color. This fruit was
processed by H. O. Frohbach and if a
suitable basement wilh water connec
tions can be found, he will process an
entirely new display this summer.
The Medford Chamber of Com
merce has a great advantage over
many organizations of this kind in
that its officers are well located on
tho main street of the city and at the
same time are close to the railroad
where tho traveling public may see
what the country around Medford
produces and where by keeping the
exhibit rooms iu pet feet order, they
receive the impression of the com
munity being exceedingly progres
sive. The exhibit building is owned by
the Medford Chamber of Commerce
and is located on leased ground for
which there is a very nominal rent
being paid. Tho saving of' rent by
this organization is an item of ex
pense which reduces the overhead ex
pense to a minimum and many Cham
bers of Commerce are compelled to
pay a large sum of their funds for
this purpose.
There are several other items of
overhead expenses for which the
chamber has to pay nothing and
thereby It permits its income to be
entirely placed at tho disposal of the
board of directors for actual operation.
The Klks l'amily will mild a bur ik'
nic Sunilav and Mi', and Mrs. Klk
and all the little Klku-e will be there,
well as all the simile Klk-; and theiv
ladirs. Ol' course, the affair will take
place at the Klk's im-nie grounds. It
will be a basket luenie ami each fum
ilv and unattached buck will brim;
their own baskets of uood thirds,
which thev will preside over and eat,
ilioiiiih the whole darn F.IU tribe will
Ml down together at lon-r tables
spread beneath the shade trees.
A feature of the picnic will bo the
t;kimr of moving picvures which will
be exhibited ahum: with other lodue
pictures later on at hical, state and
national theaters, and before the
crowned heads of Kurope, if there are
anv left hv that time, and also the
bald heads of the common people.
Some lauL'hable special stunts will be
put on before the camera at the picnic.
Karl (Jaddis his been appointed
chairman of the committee to see that
all autoless Klks are taken to the
grounds in ears. The time fur depar
ture (o the picnic grounds will be
between 10 and 11 o'clock in the.
forenoon, and all ears are expected to
stop at the KIks club house to see
that even one reaches the irrounds.
Doys and eauarv birds must be left
at home, nlonir with trrouches, but ul!
