Beet Sugar in Oregon.

A farmer writes q letter to the
Salem CAPITAL JOURNAL in favor
of the legislature offering some aid
or inducement for the production OF
beet sugar in Oregon. He contends
that the sugar beet can be success
fully cultivated all over this state
and that with little state aid, in
the way of bounties, the production
of beet sugar in Oregon could be
made Il grand success, and not only
save the cost of all the sugar we
now purchase from abroad, but also
export thousands of tons.
The great sugar refiner, Claus
Spreckles, of California, has made a
grand success of his Watsonville
beet sugar factory, and has made
contracts for much larger produc
ton of sugar beets next year. In
France, the beet sugar production is
larger than the wine, wool or meat
productions, and Germany exports
thousands of tons of beet sugar after
supplying the home market.
The state Of Kansas is plying 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
large sorghum sugar factories and
opened up market for a new line
of farmers produce. 49, Portland

reason the Salem Board of trade

WOOLEN Mills FOR SALEM.
A Mass Meeting Tonight to Consider
the Proposition of Mr.. Kay.

Tonight at the council chamber
there will be a mass meeting Of the
citizens Of Salem for the discussion of
the proposition of the establishment
of extensive wooden mills at tn e
capital city. A large 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. The relative cost and desir-
ability of the Gray, McCOrnack's,
old tannery and other powers have
been considered. AS yet but the
one proposition to sell the Gray
power for $4,000 has been received,
but the committee is in communica-
tion with the owners of the other
sites.
For Salem to secure the location
of wooden mill within her borders,
it behooves the city to raise $4,000.
The mill as proposed will give en-
ployment in few years to half
thousand men, whose families will
live among and be of us. This is
small sum for a city of our preten-
sions to raise, especially so for an
enterprise that will be Of benefit to
so many.
1t is earnestly desired that the at
tendance at the meeting tonight
be large. The CAPITAL JOUR-
NAL is anxious to see the capital
city go ahead more and more and
nothing can be of so much benefit to
Il city as manufacturing enterprises.

II. V. Matthews, who has fruit
farm near Salem, is collecting 10000
pounds of evaporated prunes for
shipment to Kansas and Dakota.
Some months ago he sent 1900 pounds
as II sample and the palates of those
who reside i'm the land Of the Dako-
tas and on the praries of Kansas
were so touched that the larger ship
ment was made necessary. He is
paying ten cents per pound for Sill
yer and italian prunes and eight
cents for all other varieties.
He tells us prune growing is one
of the most profitable vocations in
which one can engage. TO show
what can be done by the proper
management of prunes he cites the
experience of Mr.. Jory. From one
eighth of an acre planted five years
ago in prunes he this year obtained
800 pounds of dried fruit which he
sold for $50. At this rate $64O can
he realized from one acre of five
year old trees.
Mr.. Matthews has just concluded
the planting of 1900 pear trees on his
farm. He thinks this twelve acres
in pears will bring him much mon
ey in few years.

are not favored it is great injustice.
