Summing up the beet crop just
harvested in the Grand Ronde valley
the La Grande Observer says:
i While the acreage has not been SO
great this season as in other wears.
the total yield has been much larger.
This year there have been 2O.7OO
tons of beets delivered. against / 1 900
tons last year. This season the acre
age was $4,000. making an average
tonnage of a little over eight tons to
the acre.
The factory this year controlled be-
tween $4,000 and 5000 acres of the
$4,000. and next year they will no,
only plant all they did this season. but
VIII add several hundred acres which
they recently purchased of the Mich
olas farm and the growers have done
so well on this crop that they will in
crease their contracts and the wear
1913 now promises to be a new era
Tor the beet culture in this county.
Field superintendent F. S Bram-
well. who has had charge of the com
pany farms. has made n careful esti
mate of the cost and places it at
S22.5o per acre. The factory pays 50
per ton delivered at the factory.
which leaves a profit of about S17
per acre. after paying for the seed.
planting and cost of harvesting and
delivering.
The factory has paid out for beets
the sum of Sl03,5OO. and during the
two months run and over will have
paid out to the factory employees a lit /.
tie In excess of 5000. This does not
include the cost of fuel which this
season was 5000 cords of wood and /
l5,o00 tons of coal. Notwithstanding /
they secured the most favorable
rates on the latter. they find wood /
cheaper.
AT the present time there are about
10000 sacks of as fine granulated su-
gar as was ever placed on the market
by any factory, the crystals being
much finer than heretofore. The to-
tai output will be 55 900 bags
When it is taken into consideration
that the beet industry is confined to
the product of so few acres and as
there are so many thousand acres in
this valley that beets can be grown
On profitably. \ few such seasons as
mis- will be the means of placing beet
culture second to none in this valley
and the factory will be enlarged to
iouble its present capacity. which
was the intention when first con-
itructed.

SHORTEN THE SHORT LINE.
Proposed to dake Minidoka. Branch
the Main Line.

If plan now under consideration
is carried out there will be radical
Change made in the main line OF the
Oregon Short Line in Idaho. say re-
cent advices from Salt Lake City. I.o-
cal officials have under favorable
consideration a plan to make the
Minidoka branch, now being con-
structed, the main line, extending il
from the terminus near Twin Falls
down the Snake river to Glenn's Fer
ry. At this point the Snake river is
TO be recrossed and a junction made
with the present main line. A great
saving is expected in a number of
ways as the result of this change.
The preliminary surveys have been
completed and there is indication
that favorable action will be taken
on the proposition. A great saving
In the operating department would
result, as some heavy grades west of
Glenn's Ferry would be eliminated.
The present route from Minidoka
west is through one of the most bar
rem and desolate portions of Idaho a
part of the country that never will
yield much freight. On the other
hand. the proposed branch will run
through what promises to be the most
fertile and densely populated section
of Idaho. The waters of the Snake
river are being utilized for irrigation
purposes and all the land up and
down the river from Twin Falls is 10
be redeemed and opened to cultiya-
tion. In time this stretch Of country
will yield an enormous freight.
Still another consideration that ar
gues strongly in favor of. the change
of route is the pleasure passengers
VIII derive from trip down the
Snake river past the Twin Falls and
the Shoshone Falls, some of the fin
est scenery in Idaho, and the escape
from the tiresome trip over the desert
west from Minidoka.

would be retained for local traffic.

The latter was the owner of a big

Prentice made his station at Roose-
veits ranch while making horseback
trips over Montana and wyoming. He
did all his work at night to avoid be-

He wore a black uniform and rode
black horse and was called the lit

BOWsER-ACHILLEs.
The Bowsers, a Sculptor and Ancient
History Get Mixed Up.

Mrs. Bowser had to run into a neigh
bor's on an errand the other evening
and she left Mr.. Bowser smoking and
reading and in contented frame of
mind. Half an hour later, when she
returned, strange man was just leay-
ing the house and Mr.. BoWser betrayed
considerable mental excitement
I hope it is no bad news" she OBJ
served.
Some of your club friends?"
Mr.. Bowser sat down and tried to
read, but it was no go. He was up and
| walking around within five minutes,
and it was easy to see that he had
something on his mind. He went up
stairs and came down again, and he
paced up and down the front hall and
came back to try to read again. The
cat had stretched out on the mat for a
long sleep, thinking that there would
be nothing doing, but he woke up and
took notice of the signs and decided
that the circus would come to town af-
ter all. Mrs. Bowser asked no ques-
tons. She knew that full information
would come in due time, and come it
did. Mr.. Bowser finally dropped into
his chair and said:
4 might as well tell you that the
man who was leaving as you came in
was a sculptor"
Yes she replied. 7 suppose he
wanted to sell you a piece of statu-
mo. He-he wanted to talk little
business"
7 see. Did he want to sell you a
new mich COW or farm or any
thing?"
of course not. What do sculptors
know about such things? The fact is,
he wants to bring out Iife-sized stat
ue of Achilles, and he wants me to pose
for it. He offered me SO a pose. and
he says I will make at least $500 out
Of it. All the posing is to be done in
the evening, an hour at time. What
do you think of the idea?"
The cat crept under the lounge and
gurgled and gasped, but Mrs. Bowser
controlled her feelings and presently
asked:
Did he explain who Achilles wasp"
'Of course not. Do you think he
wanted to insult me?''
Then you know, do you?''

Achilles.
Know? Know? DO I know a street
car from an ice wagon? I might as
well ask if you know John L, Sullivan
from the great Napoleon. If that is
the tone you are going to take, you
have heard the last word from me-"
Now don't get vexed," she sOoth-
ingly replied. Never having heard
you mention the name of Achilles
didn't know that you were posted.
Why did the sculptor select you to
pose for the character
"On account of my height, build
and the size of my arms and legs, as
representing strength. The figure has
got to have the appearance Of a
strong man, you know"
L don't agree with you on that
point. Nothing in history tells US that
Achilles was Over-muscular.''
What shouted Mr.. Bowser as he
Jumped to his feet. You had better
post yourself before criticising me.
Any child ten years old will tell you
that Achilles represents strength Ev-
cry day you may read the expression,
strong as Achilles
My dear, let me yell you some
thing. You have got Achilles and
Hercules mixed up. Hercules repre-
sents strength
Never It's just the other way. By
thunder, but -"
Mrs. Bowser walked over to the
bookcase and took down a volume of
the encyclopedia and read to him:
Achilles, the hero of HOmers Had,
was the son of King Peleus and Thetis,
sea-goddess, belonging to a line
descended from Jove. We are told
that he was dipped in the river Styx
