"A Big Enterprise.

The Commercial Club of La
Grande, Ore, is sending out little
booklet which describes the new
heet,sugar factory at that place.
The pamphlet is attractive in APP
pearance, and the matter it contains
lie Of general interest. The factory
and buildings cover an eighty-acre
tract OF land, and the actual cash
outlay for buildings, machinery,
and grounds is put down at $500,
600. One hundred skilled work
men are employed in the factory,
and 1000 to 1000 people are engaged
in producing the beets.
The wood consumed yearly
amounts to 5000 cords and 1000
tons of lime are used. The beet
crop, which is handled in 100'days;
amounts to 23,333 wagon-loads of
oneand oue-half tons each, and the
facsoEy pays out for beets and labor
a sam experimenting 100000 per
annum. This looks like a good
th}lg Ior any town or community,
bat the figures are not exhausted
yet The pulp from the beets turn
ed into sugar is sufficient to fatten
$4,000 head of cattle, or 10000 head
Of sheep, and they say it is good for
that business.
The beet-sugar factory is simply
the result of indstry and enterprise
on the part Of the philosophical
people Of La Grande. 1t means
new population for the town, in
creased values for farm-lands, a
largely increased circulation of
money, and a steady, permanent
and profitable demand for dwelling
houses and all local products

Al Miners Tale Of Wealth.

The statement Is gaining circula-
ton that more than fifty wagon
loads Of pure gold are lying some
where IN Alaska awaiting rediscov-s
cry Its gold that was gathered
BY four miners who went into the
i1nknown and unexplored North
west iii search of gold in 1890, only
bne of whom was permitted to re-,
turn. He brought back with him
incontestible proofs Of the existence
6fgold In a sackful Of smell nuggets,
ind his name is William Rogers.
According to his story, the four.
timers lived in the Black Hills Of
South Dakota and were more or less
Experienced in placer mining. In
1889 they formed a company to
prospect for placer locations in
Alaska, the belief among them be-
Ing strong that somewhere in that
country rich gold discoveries would
be gound, The men engaged in the
enterprise were Rogers, Louis Cav
anaugh, Harry Stokes; and John
Campbell. Their first intention
was to 30 north by steamer to Jun.
eau. but when they reached Seattle
Ehey were unable to agree upon this
baint, and the expedition postponed
its trip s1ntil the following spring
when tie four men departed from
Spokane. Wash. They traxersed
The country in a leisurely manner
tor several months, prospecting
wherever there seemed to be prom
ising locality. After the first three
months, gold In small quantities
HasN found quite frequently, and
this Ned them on in their quest for
bettek prospects. Their mules died
and tHey were obliged to abandon
their Wagon and tools, except such
ks they could carry; and in this
way they plodded over mountains,
through 1avines, and across marshes
Until they had been gone from Spo-
kane more than a year. From this
point Rogers graphically, but brief
u describes his journey: 1--WE
prospected up and down Tanana
River and its tributaries, and found
gold in great quantities. We cam

We had been unusually successful

Advice to Schoolgirls.

The principal OF one Of the large city
schools, a man OF superb physique, as
well as fine intellectual endowments.
gives this sencible advise to the young
girls under his care:
'.Study hard while you do study. Put
your whole mind into your work, and
don't delay.
Begin your studying early in the even
ing, but,stop before nine o'clock.
Take little recreation before retiring
to change the current Of thought, and to
rest your head
Be in bed before ten O'Clock. The sleep
thus obtained before midnight is the rest
which most recuperates the system Civ
ing brightness to the eye and q glow TO
the check.
Take care Of your health. Thatis first.
If you need to do more studying, rise
at six in the morning.

Hot Water For Coughs.

a sudden and wearing attack of cough
