OVER THE CAPITAL CITY. Complete Recital of the Daily Doings Com piled From Various S)urrcs. Happenings Over the City anil News From the Country Roundabout. Iltet Sugar In Oregon. A farmer writes a letter to the Balem Capital Journal in favor of the legislature oflering somo aid oriiuluccment for the production of beet sugar in Oregon. Ho contends that tiie sugar beet can be success fully cultivated all over this state; and that with a little state aid, in the way of bounties, the production of beet sugar in Oregon could be made ti grand success, and not only savo the cost of all the nugur we now purchase from abroad, but also export thousands of tons. Tito great sugar refiner, Claus Spreckle.s, of California, lias made a grand success of his Watsonvilie beet sugar factory, and has made contracts for a much larger nroduc tion of sugnr beets next year. In France, the beet sugar production is larger than the wine, wool or meat productions, and (iermany exports thousands of tons of beet sugar after supplying the homo market. The state of Kansas is p lying out of the state treasury two cents per pound on all the sorghum sugar pro duced in that state, and this bonus has resulted in the erection of seven largo sorghum sugar factories and opened up a market for a new line of fanners' produce. Portland Nows. WOOLEN MILLS FOR SALEM. Nome r'rult l'olntei's. II. V. Matthews, who bus a fruit farm near Balem, is collecting :i0,000 pounds of evaporated prunes for fihipmcut to Kansas and Dakota. Koine moiithHiign hesent l.'lOO pounds as a sample and the palates of tho.e who reside in the land of the Da ko las and on the pr.irles of Kansas were so touched that the larger ship ment was made necessary. He is paying ten cents per pound for Sil ver and Italian prunes and eight cents for all other varieties. lie tells us prune growing is one of the most profitable vocation- in which one can engage. To show what can bo done by the proper management, of prunes he cites the experience of Mr. Jory. From one- eighth of an acre planted live years ago in prunes he this year obtained MX) pounds of dried fruit which he sold for S0. At tliis rate (140 can lie realized from one acre of live year old trees. Mr. Matthews has Just concluded theplantiugof 1.100 pear trees on ills farm. He thinks this twelve acres in pears will bring him much mon ey in a few years. Mirlnu'H .UM'v-ment. While Marlon county's assess ment is less than Linn's by a mil lion dollars It's total tax to bo raised is about $15,000 more, hence Its rate is much In excess of ours, being about 120 mills. Of course this will not make much dlllerenee with men wlio cheat the state and county in the amount of their assessment, as a great many do, but to those who are not favored it is a great injustice. There It something decldidly rotten in Marion county's assessment, and we only mention It because it Is a publiu matter and affects everybody. Democrat. A Mass Meeting To-Xi;ht to Consider the Proposition of Mr. Kay. To-night at the council chamber there will bo a mass meeting of the citizens of Salem for the discussion of the proposition of the establishment of extensive woolen mills at the capital city. A largo attendance of citizens is earnestly desired, as the business in hand is of the greatest Importance to Salem and the coun try in general. Messrs. Albert, Moores and Booth by, appointed to obtain propositions relative to the purchase of water power, have looked the field well over. Tho relatlvo codt and desir ability of tho Gray, McCornack's, old tannery and other po we re have been considered. As yet but the ono proposition to sell the Gray power for $10,000 has been recc.ved, but tho committee is in communica tion with the owners of tho other sites. For Salem to secure the location of a woolen mill within her borders, it behooves the city to raise $20,000. The mill as proposed will give em ployment in a few years to half a thousand men, whoso families will live among and be of us. This is a small sum for a city of our preten sions to raise, especially so for an enterprise that will be of benefit to so many. It is earnestly desired that tho at tendance at tho meeting to-night be large. Tho Capital Jour nal is anxious to seo the capital city go ahead more and more and nothing can bo of so much benefit to a city as manufacturing enterprises. Tho iron is hot. Strike before it cools.
