Between sixty and seventy sheep
belonging to Mike Monohan were
k'lled early Monday evening near

sheep.
It was understood that the sheep
were being driven from a grazing
area east of the highway bordering
Columbia City and were headed to
ward a new feeding ground west
of the Columbia highway. The spec

counted on in the maneuver and the
approach of the train was not

It is also understood that part o
the injured sheep was saved for

Nearing completion at Nyssa, in eastern Oregon, is the huge sugar
beet refinery of The Amalgamated Sugar Company which will soon
be manufacturing the first sugar to be made in Oregon and inaugur
ating an important new industry for the Webfoot state.
The coming of the big plant heralds the "rebirth" of eastern
Oregon as an important agricultural and industrial section. Due to the
new plant, farmers are settling on 150,000 acres of reclaimed sage
brush lands, irrigated by the Owyhee, Bla^k Canyon and Arrowrock
Dams in the Vale-Owyhee project. The new factory will bring
$2,500,000 of wealth yearly to the section, and is "booming" this
remote section of the state.
The "monster of modern science" turns the beet into sparkling,
refined and pure sugar and is the most modern plant of its kind in
America. It will handle 2000 tons of beets daily and can store a half
million 100-pound bags of sugar. It has a capacity to supply three-
fourths of the sugar needs of Oregon's inhabitants.
