For a Beet Sugar Plant.

The people of the United States
import four ffths of the sugar they
consume, and over one hundred
millions of dollars are sent to for
eign countries every year to supply
the deficiency. Oregon pays out
about one million dollars year for
sugar, and her part in this general
problem is to determine whether
she can produce her own sugar and
keep this money at home.
There is no state in the Union in
which sugar beets can be raised as
successfully as in Oregon. Our soil
and our climate are peculiarly adap-
ted to their cultivation, and every
analysis that has been made shows
that beets raised here make as large
an average to the acre, with great
er percentage Of purity and sugar
in Che juice than those raised else
where.
Organized effort is necessary. In
Lincoln and Benton counties there
are thousands of acres now unculti-
yated that are well adapted to sugar
beet raising, and they will be grown
when there is any certainty of dis
posing of them. There was strong
talk and some promises made to
establish a sugar plant on Yaquina
bay some years ago but the free
sugar tariff knocked the enterprise
in the head. Now that the condi-
tions have changed let us renew this
beet root sugar question and see if a
sugar plant can be established in
Benton or Lincoln county. We are
well situated to have one, as trans
portation to the refinery at San
Francisco is both easy and cheap.
There ought to be a move made in
the matter. Who will make it?

ga TIMELY WORD"
To the Bread Winner of the
Family in Behalf of His
Loved Ones at Home.

Ihe TACT is now so generally admitted it
needs no argument to convince those upon
whom the duty rests, that life insurance is
the best protection for a mans family, his
estate and his old age. The question with
most men is, what form of policy will best
discharge the duty and in what company
to place so sacred trust.
The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
company offers to persons needing insur-
ace an insurance policy of the most
definite character perfectly adapted to all
legitimate wants, conceived and admin
istered in perfect equality, guarded by
ample and undoubted security, at the
lowest cost that economy and good man.
agement can accomplish consistently with
absolute and perptual safety
policy which after two or three prem
iums paid becomes by its own terms and
without surrender, fully paid up for an
amount each year stated in printed table
upon the policy.
A policy which, at the end of 10 15, 20.
%, 80, 80, etc., years, may be surrendered
for cash sum stated in a table printed
in the policy.
A policy participating in the surplus
earned which there are no stockholders to
share, so that each members insurance
costs him only just what it costs the COM
pany.

1t Will Last.

1t is amusing to see the iugubri-
Gus face a populist puts on now
days when you ask him his opinion
of the situation. His old stock OF
arguments are entirely exploded
and useless, and the laity of the
party are incapable of manufacture
ing new ones. So the best he can
do now is to shake his head and
say, eyes, times are better, but Nc
Kinley didn't do it, and it won't
last" But the election of Mckinley
prevented you from having to take
a silver dollar worth only 40 cents,
for bushel of your dollar wheat,
for which you are now, or have been
and will be again, getting about ST
in gold, worth 100 cents. You say
it wont last, and you don't want it
to, for you are politically dead if it
does. But it will last, for prosperi-
ty has come to other sections Of the
country where they don't gaise
wheat, and it has come to stay. The
East is a manufacturing district.
every spindle is turning, and every
furnace is heated. Men are getting
better wages and employment is
easier to get, and McKinley's elec-
tion did do that. In the South it is
the same. Old manufactures are
all starting up, and new ones are
building. The iron business never
was as active, and cotton is being
mainly used in manufactures at
home. So, that although the efec.
ton Of Mckinley did not make the
crop, nor bring about the price for
it, it did secure the conditions un-
der which we are enabled to take
advantage of the favorable circum.
stances. They have good crops il
Mexico and yet they are seriously
threatened with bankruptcy, ano
Bryan's unholy scheme to pauper-
ize our money would have placed
us in the very same situation. Oul
big crops would not have saved US
