To Make Sugar from Beets.

Several Of the prominent citizens of
Portland propose to enter into the su-
gar beet industry. To thai end, arti-
cles Of incorporation have been filed
in the office of the county clerk. The
incorporators are X. G. Korn, q. S.
Larsen, Edward Hughes, John Klos-
terman and Ex-Judge Chas. H. Carey,
of the municipal court Mr.. korn is
beet-sugar manufacturer of very ex-
tended experience, and has recently
arrived from Germany. The other
Fincorporators are well-known business
men. The capital stock is $l,0OO0 900,
aud the general office of the corpora
ton will be located in Portland. This
newly-formed corporation proposes to
build one or more beet.sugar factories
in Oregon during the coming year. 1t
is announced that 1t has already Or
dered from Germany, where all the
best best beet-sugar machinery is now
made, a plant which will cost about
$500, 900, and, as an evidence of good
faith in the matter, has paid down
good round sum in cash. The forma.
.ion of the Oregon Beet-Sugar Com
pany is an outgrowth of the investiga-
tions which have been Carried on in
this state by Mr., Korn, who came here
from Germany for that express pur-
pose. Since coming to this state, Mr..
Korn has not only made extensive
chemical examination of the soil in
different portions of the state, but has
actually experimental with seed, and
raised sample crops with very satisfac-
tory results, In Germany the best soil

DROWNED IN THE SANTIAM.
John McKinnon Meets Death in it;
Turbulent Waters.

s. A. DeVaney, correspondent in the
Albany Democrat, gives the following
account of the drowning of John Nc
KinnoD:
CANYON CREEK, Sept. 8, 1894.
Bert Nye and John McKinnon, were
going from Chas. Frost's clearing down
the Santiam, home, and when they
reached the river, John McKinnon
said he would cross the stream at a
point of rock where heavy volume Of
water poured between two large rocks,
and either he slipped and fell, or was
caught by the current and washed into
deep water and drowned. He had
severe bruise on the nose, forehead and
cheek, which would lead one to think
he slipped and fell head first on the
rock. Young Nye hallooed manfully
and brought Paul Howes, w. A. Cal
kins, Oliver Mcclure and S. A. De
Vaney to the scene as sooll as they
could possibly reach it, the latter three
running nearly one-half mile. The
water was deep and being in the shade
at the time, 2:2O P. NJ, prevented the
swimmers from locating the body for
nearly 80 minutes when Paul Howes
and s. A. De Vaney brought the body
ashore. Everything was done to re-
suscitate him that could be SO far as we
know. But all without avail. 1t is a
heavy stroke on the bereaved parents,
neither of whom are in good health.
The entire community extend to them
their heart felt sympathy in this their
sudden and sad bereavement.
John McKinnon was IA years, 8
months AND one day old, and was
beloved by all who knew him.

About Hops.

Many growers In Lane county, says
the Eugene Register, who want to
pick hops are unable to do so on ac-
count of being unable to obtain picking
money. Others will let their yards go
unpIcked, as they do not care to invest
further in the hops with thepoor pros
poets for market, One Of our leading
growers informs us that he would not
be surprised that # in ten days hop
picking will have to be abandoned. He
says the hops are moulding and rotting
badly. The lice are found to be quite
plentiful in many yards, and they
have done a great deal Of damage. A
few days ago buyers were offering to
advance four or FIVE cents per pound
on hops for picking money, but now
no advances are heing made, The
market price is given at six to eight
cents, which will not cover the ex-
pense of raising and curing the crop.

A BURGLAR KILLED.
A Trap Gun is Set and it Gets In Its
Deadly Work.


Friday morning last, the dead body
Of a man was found in the store of w
Is. Smith, in Portland. This store has
been robbed before and the proprietor
placed loaded rifle in position to COM
mand the rear door, with a string
attached to the trigger. The burglar
entered by this door, pulled the cord
in opening the door and caught the
heavy ball in his thigh. An artery
was severed and the man bled to death
Notwithstanding his frantic efforts to
get out Of the store when help could be
found. This man was George More
house, the deceased husband Of Miss
Lilly Hackleman, the sister Of Charlie
Haekleman, formerly of this place.
This young man came to Albany y
few years ago and for a while stood
high in business and society circles.
He was married to this estimabe
young lady, but his evil habits soon
forced her to get divorce from him.
The many buglaries that occurred in
Albany Of late years are supposed to
have been planned by him, He
claimed and was believed to be the
son of wealthy parents, but his claims
were totally unfounded. He was
man of pleasing address and had
many friends until his crookedness
was dlscerned. He rapidly went to
the bad in Portland and finally met
his death in the act of committing a
felony.

A pAsTARpLY MURDER.
A, Pcddler Waylaid, Robbed and Muir
dered in Cold Blood.


\ The Cold Spring, so well known to
travellers on the road to Sweet Home,
was the scene Of a dastardly murder on
Thursday, the 9th.
Friday night some campers discov-
cred hat and pack near the road at
this place, but thinking the owner was
making camp, and not suspecting foul
play, they took no further. notice Of
these things On the following morn
ing the things were in the same posi-
tion. This excited their suspicious
and search was made. The hat was
examined and also the pack, which
was found ripped open and partially
robbed. A further search disclosed
the dead body of man partly con-
cealed behind. log and some bushes,
The facts were reported to the Sweet
Home authorities and the coroner. +,
The facts thus disclosed showed that
a peddler by the name of McGial, a
Syrian by birth, had stopped at Sweet
Home Wednesday, and had had two
horses shod, displaying considerable
money and had come from Prineville,
1t happened that he had been appar-
emily followed by three men of rough
appearance, on horseback, tie entire
route. The dead man had paid the toll
Of the cowboys, and had at this time
also displayed considerable gold. Soon
afther his arrival at Sweet Home,
his companions also arrived,
and remained over night, in
quirlng the way to Brownsville and
other points, particularly the route
over the hill that joins the main road
this side Of the scene Of the murder.
1t also appears that one of the three
cowboys came into Sweet Home q
little behind the other two and ap-
peared not to know the latter. The
two men started early over the hill
road toward Charlottesville. The third
one went down the river road and soon
returned, complaining he had taken
the wrong road. Hestarted again, but
by the same route, and soon after, the
peddler started with his packs and two
horses. He would naturally arrive at
the Cold Spring, very dark and
secluded place, by nine o'clock. At
this hour three shots were heard by
parties at Sweet Home and by a
hunter on the other side of the river.
An examination Of the body showed
bullet hole through the head and one
through the body, which showed signs
of decomposing. His watch was gone,
his packs riaed and his money bag
ripped open and the gold was gone. "
One of his horses was found near
I9NcCt llVlllt anu tic olutI was ul5CONS
cred coming this way. The latter
animal was bought by gentleman at
Waterloo, and the party charged with
selling the animal is now in custody.
He waived examination and was held
to await the action Of the grand jury
in the sum Of $500 bail. His examIna-
ton was held before Justice Parrish, of
Sodaville, the state and the defendant
being represented respectfully by Mr..
Kelly and Mr.. Garland.
| Several friends of the deceased are in
town, seeking to find the guilty parties.
They claim that the dead peddler had
about $500 in gold. The crime is a
hldeops one and thorough, search
should be made, ''@l -
