Beet Sugar Culture.

Incidental to replying to the
Southern Pacific's request for stock
and crop statistics, A. c.. Gienger, of
the Square Deal Orchard property
across Bear creek, has the following
to say regarding sugar beets:
Il have been experimenting with
sugar beets, and think this ground
will raise crop with the least care
and a better yield than any place
know of, and believe there are 1O,-
900 acres in this valley that will do
as well. We do not expect to farm
this place, as our intention is to
make commercial orchard of it.
but are willing to do all in our
power to help get a beet sugar fac
tory established here, as we believe
it would be a great success both to
grower and manufactures"

keliogg's Corn Flake Company Seeks
Aid in Boosting Prices of Its
Products.

Kellogg's Corn Flake Company is
sending out lots of printed matter
seeking to make the public believe
that they are being prosecuted be-
cause the United States government
seeks to put stop to their refusal
to sell their products to retailers who
will not maintain arbitrary prices.
They seek to whip the newspapers
into line by trying to make them be-
lieve that they must uphold the gem
eral advertiser in everything he does.
They forget that the newspaper owes
as much to the consumer and the
subscriber as it does to- the advertis-
er. The specious plea is made that
they cannot afford to advertise their
product if they cannot control the
prices at which it is sold and thus
insure the dealer who handles it a
bigger profit than on any other SINH
lar article. There is nothing in the
attitude of the United States to in
terfere with Kellogg selling his corn
flakes at any price he chooses at
retail, but after they are sold they
belong to the purchaser and he has
and should have a right to sell them
at any price he chooses. Kellogg
prates OF ruinous competition, but all
Uncle Sam insists upon is that Kel-
lOgg sell to every man at the same
price and that after "a man has
bought the goods he be privileged to
sell them at any price he chooses.
The pamphlet alludes to the prose-
cution of individuals for selling post
age stamps at less than face cost.
There is no parallel in the two cases.
Uncle Sam seeks TO punish the sell
ing of stamps below the face value
principally so as to prevent postof-
flee thieves successfully getting rid
of their ill-gotten gains, and also to
discourage the using stamps as
remittance for small sums instead OF
using money orders or sending
drafts.
The people are not going to rise
up in their wrath against the man
who is selling them something for
less than the trust wants him to.
They are more likely to rise up and
bless him.

F.A. KORMANN is HURT COWARDICE THE CAUSE
Every Reason to Believe That the
Fuel of the Scott Company
Had Been Taken.

Christ Church, New Zealand, Feb.
15.-Suspicions that some story of
cowardice or shame lies behind the
deaths of Captain Robert Falcon
Scott and his men on their south
polar expedition are current here to-
day as a consequence of the reti-
cence Of Commander Evans of the
Terra Nova and other members of
the Scott party.
Evans and the Scott Survivors are
still on the Terra Nova, which lies
at Port Lyttleton, the seaport of
Christ Church. Evans declares the
records of the Scott expedition will
not be published unless they are
given to the world by the families
of the victims and he also laid the
remainder Of the Scott party under
strict injunction not to talk.
The last message OF Captain Scott
said he could not account for a
shortage of fuel which hindered his
return to shelter and which practi-
cally cost his life and the lives of
DR.. Wilson, Captain Oates and Lieu
tenant Bowers. If the diaries OF
Wilson, Oates and Bowers make a
similar comment il is intimated that
their families may demand a gov
ernment investigation as to the
identity of those who removed fuel
from the caches and thus left Scott
and his companions to freeze to
death at the end of their terrible
journey back from the pole.
Commander Evans has absolutely
refused to discuss the deaths of
Scott and his companions or to give
any hint as 10 the cause of the alb
sence of the fuel on which their
lives hung.

Chemist Fell From Tank at Ashland
Preserving Company's Spray
Making Plant.

F. A. Norman, the chemist for the
Ashland Preserving Company. was
seriously injured Friday evening
The Preserving company, which is
manufacturing lime and sulphur
spray for the use Of orchardists, had
been out of lime for couple of
days. 1t got in 4 supply Friday and
put On a night crew in order to fin
ish some hurry up orders. Mr.. Kor-
man, who was in the office with a
friend. went out to the works to
show the men about something and
apparently fell from one of the tanks,
suffering wound On the head which
caused him to become unconscious
and so remain fer number of
hours. He was taken TO his home
on stretcher and physicians were
called, who declared his condition
serious
Mr.. Norman has apparently been
followed by a full-Gized and very ac-
tive hoodoo ever since he came to
Ashland little less than year ago.
At the time of the fire at the Swe-
denburg block last summer, caused
by IN explosion in the laboratory of
the Hygienol Chemical Company, Mr..
Norman was overcome with the
fumes of the sulphuric acid while
trying to save the books of the con-
cern, and several physicians worked
over him an hour or more before he
was brought back 10 consciousness.
A few months ago while working
in the laboratory test tube eXplod-
ed and injured one of his eyes. and
scarcely had he recovered from this
when he was attacked by gallstones
and had to undergo an operation for
the trouble. Now comes the present
accident, which seems to be the most
serious of all.
Mr.. Kormann is much better to-
day and is able to be out, having
recovered rapidly from the injury to
his head and spine. A host of
friends are glad TO know that the
results of the injury were not as
serious as was fered at first. He
states that he maze mis-step and
fell from the tank.

Birth of a Letter of the Alphabet
Printers and language makers of
the latter part of the sixteenth CEN
tury began to recognize the fact that
there was a sound in spoken English
which was without q representative
in the shape of an alphabetical sign
or character, as in the first sound in
the word wet says the Fourth Es-
tate. Prior TO that time it had al
ways been spelled as vet" the V
having the long sound of or of two
us together.
In order to convey an idea of the
new sound they began to spell such
words as wet weather. web,
etc, with two us, and as the of
that date was = typical the three
words looked like this: wet"
weather" web" After a while
the typefounders recognized the fact
that the double had come 10 stay,
so they joined the two us together
and made the character now Sc well
known as W.
There are books in which three
forms of the W are glen. The first
is an old double V WV, the next is
one in which the last stroke of the
first l crosses the first stroke of the
second, and the third is the common
W we use today.

Transferred to Monterey, Cal,
This Week.

The horses, baggage wagons and
other impedimenta of the third
squadron of the first U. S. cavalry.

California. There was a detail of
about 80 men with the outfit and
they unloaded their stock here, pre-
sumably that the Malin test for
glanders might BE- applied. When
seen by a reporter none of the sol
diers expressed any opinion as to
whether or not the move was con-
nected in any way with the situation
in Mexico. The main portion of the
troop went via Ogden, Utah.
