GROWING SUGAR BETS HERE.

According to Superintendent Sib-
holOy of the La Grande sugar beet fac
toy who was in Pendleton Yesterday,
farmers residing in the foothilI districts
of the Blue mountains are overlooking
an important industry. that of growing
sugar beets. Mr.. Sibbo'Oy who has
made a study of soil in the foothill
districts declares that it is adapted to
the growing of sugar beets and that if
farmers will devote their summe' fall
low to beet culture they can add $12
to SIS an acre to their revenue from
land that is now producing but one
crop of wheat every two years. In
stead of detracting from the soil, Mr.
Sibboloy asserts that the land will be
enriched by the diversified crop and
will produce better and bigger crops
of wheat
Mr.. Sibboloy urges farmers of Una
tilla county to make the experiment.
affords convenient market for all
the sugar beets that can be grown.
paying the highest market price for
the beets. If it is demonstrated that
sugar peets can be successfully grown
in the foot hill districts without de-
tracing from the fertility of the soil.
Walla Walla farmers have new indus
try open to them that will greatly in
crease the value Of foot hill land in
this county. In fact the same oppor-
tunity is open to the foot hill farmers
of Columbia and Umatilla counties. as
foot hill soil in the three counties has
the same characteristics About So
600 acres of foot hill land in the Walla
>Nalla valley is summer fallowed each
year and consequently brings no rev
enue whatever to the owners. If this
was devoted to beet culture each wear.
close to a half million dollars would
be distributed in Walla Walla. Mr..
Sibboloy's suggestions are certainly
worth considering in view of the fact
that there is a possibility of opening
up an entirely new industry in the
walla Walla valley which would not
only add a great deal to the revenue
OF the farmers but would give employ
nent to hundreds of farm hands.

were found some fish, not unlike trout
except that they were blind. A couple
of them were captured and were taken
in a can to the Shapard hotel, where
they were placed on exhibition in
glass jar.
But it was not in the living animals

tered. Further exploration of the cav
ern led to the discovery of a second
chamber, a little west of south of the
first one and connected with it. In this
cavern were found the fossil remains Of

On account of the lateness of the

secret; but through the queer fish
that were brought over. the secret be-
came generally known during the
night
Those who went across the river to
see the remarkable result of the blast
were. however. denied approach to the
place. A guard had been placed over
it and no one will be allowed to enter
the cavern until it is known to be safe.
The discovery is a great thing for
Missoula if the cave is anything like
what it is represented to be. Scientific
investigation will be awaited with
great interest. Professor Elrod said he
had not been informed as to the ex-
tent or the details of the discovery, but
that he hoped to be able to see it for
himself. Promise has been made that
a few persons at a time will be ad-
mitted. In the meantime the blind fish
at the Shapard hotel are the center of
observation; they are the queerest
things ever seen here.

One of the biggest blasts that has

on the ST. Paul f-oad in the canyon was
set off in the rocky bluff just above

Japanese explosive, liento, was used as

was almost noiseless, and when the
