break the rebels increased the artil-
lery fire. sending n rain of shells into
federal trenches. The wounded who
found their way across the river told

DELTA GROWERS
OBJECT To CUT
IN BEET PRICE
Association Claims They Now
Make Only Five Cents an
Acre.
Sentinel Special Service.


Delta, Colo. Jan. 3.-The Delta
County Beet Growers Association
has practically refused to accept the
cut in the price of beets asked by tho
Western Sugar & Land Company, and
have served notice that they will
plant their land to alfalfa. rather
than to accept the proposed reduc-
ton.
The beet-growers' association
through its executive committee. in
sists that from an examination of the
company's books, made in 1911,
$3.50 per ton would not be too much
to pay for beets. They further fur
nish statistics which they claim show,
tnat instead of making 20 per cent
profit on their investment. as claimed
by the sugar compsny. they are in
fact getting about cents per acre,
and the beet tops as the return for
labor and investment
The committee further claims that
they must produce at least twelve
tons to the acre. before they pay ex-
penses, and many ranchers are not
successful in doing that.
According to the statistics given
out, they claim that it costs S66.95
10 produce one acre OF beets, which at
the average price of $3.50 per ton
would bring in just $66 for each
acre, allowing a profit of cents. 1t
Is further claimed by the committee
that the company's own lands in the
Irand valley have shown loss dur
ing the past six years.
The committee demands that be-
fore they accede to a cut that the
company reduce its charge for plant
ing. which is claimed to be exorbi-
tant, that they insure reduction in
the cost of foreign labor, and also in
the freight charges. The committee
also says that an examination of the
company's books did not show that
Grand Junction plant had been op-
Grated at loss, as claimed The
committee also calls attention to the
fact that only few months ago the
company was assuring Delta business
men that sugar stock would pay at
least Z per cent on the investment
and advising subscriptions for the
opening of new plant in this city.
In conclusion the association claims
that land is worth more seeded to al
falfa than planted to sugar beets and
advises that this be done.

Pass Christian, Miss. Jan. o.
President Wilson's mysterious con-
ference aboard the cruiser Chester
with John Lind was completed late
last night. but nothing was revealed
this forenoon as to what the exact
nature of the discussion was. Later
the President is expected to make a
statement. The interview on the
Chester was brief.
This morning the President took
Linds two sons-Norman and John.
Jr..-- in an automobile. s miles to
the pier, where he boarded the rev.
enue cutter Winona, and went to the
Chester to bid their father goodby.
The President took cognizance of
the isolation of the Chester's crew.
none of which was allowed ashore,
and instructed secret service men to
gather all the newspapers they could
find and put them aboard.
1t was evidently desired that Lind
remain close observer of Mexican
happenings until the problem is set
tied. The Chester will sail for Vera
Cruz before noon.
A touch of pathos attended the ex-
change of Lind's farewell with his
sons. Mrs. Pauline Mezzisen sought
to see her son George. a yeoman on
the Chester, when she learned that
none of the men would be allowed
ashore. She then boarded tug and
followed the Winona to the Chester.
The tug was warned away by the
Chester's officers, and the little
gray-haired mother was forced to call
goodby to her son across the inter-
vening water. When told of the in
cident the President was touched and
told secret service men to get the
woman's address. 1t was understood
the President would write her, ex-
planning the exigency of the occasion
and expressing regret that she could
not go aboard the cruiser.

BRIDGE TENDER REPORTS
BODY FLOATING IN RIVER

The tender on the Salem, Falls City
& Eastern railroad bridge spanning the
Willamette river at this point, stated
yesterday that he saw the body of a
woman floating down the river. The
bridgeman advised train crew which
passed over the river shortly afterward
and the crew informed the agent at
the 5. p. passenger depot, who in turn
telephOned the news to Sheriff Esch.
The sheriff called Coroner Clough, and
a search was made of the waters below
the bridge about an hour after the
bridge tender spread the information.
The caretaker of the bridge states
that he first noticed an object in the
river, which appeared to be the body
of a human being. He used marine
south, east and west. Everyone will
belief. He says that il was the body
of a young woman, fully dressed, with
the exception she had on no shoes or
stockings, and that she was floating
face upward. He watched the body,
he declares, until it went out of sight
in the rough waters about three hun
dred yards below the bridge, and then
informed a passing train crew of his
find.
The river was searched carefully by
the coroner and several assistants in
boats, but the remains could not be
found. The coroner states that if the
bridge tender really saw a body float
ing face up, it was the first time he
(Mr. Clough) ever heard of such a
thing, saying that dead bodies gener-
ally floated face downward. The cor
oner is unable to lind any trace of
any persons drowning in the river of
late and, after making several searches
about the stream, gave up the work
for the time being at least. The cap
tain of a down. going steamer was also
advised of the discovery, but no re-
port has been heard from him so far

WEST SCORES OREGON|AN

TIC REMARKS ABOUT EDITOR
IAL IN MORNING PAPER.
WEsT sCoREs OREGnNIAN-

Governor West commenting on the
following editorial from the Oretonian
and also on iis attack on him editorial
ly today, made some eaustic remarks
He suggested that "the Oregonian had
better devote some of its talent and
space to gaining respectability for one
of its favorite candidates for governor
and not rush to the defense of Mr..
Wilbur, whose reputation would show
up black even though placed alongside
the Oregonian. He added: "The Ore
gonian's candidate for United States
senator must feel embarrassed to have
his picture on one page of the Oregon
ian while another is devoted to the de-
fense of the Milwaukee tavern and
still another to the beer that made the
other Milwaukee famous" The COVER
nor said some biting things about the
states big paper that would keep the
Oregonian busy TO equal. But as they
are the unofficial opinio.. of the COVER
nor, we sidetrack them.
The editoria: follows:
They say the oregOnian is soon to
jump onto the famous Milwaukee Ta-
vern and endeavor to close up this no.
ted resort that has for years run de-
spite almost everybody and every Off
eial. The OTegonian will be several
years late, but the people will endorse
its efforts, even if the real object is
more to get West than the tavern
Oregon City Courier.
The Oregonian has no militia at IFS
beck and cali and has not yet under.
taken the herculean task of closing the
notorious Milwaukee tavern.
Why didn't the governor leave his
militia on the jobi What has become
of the officials of Claekamas county,
Why doesn' t Uren abolish the Milwau-
kie taverni Has the Courier no influ-
ence in its home countyi What has
become of the great temperance and
prohibition crusader, George Brownelll
The Oregonian is surprised at the
news from Clackamas about the tavern
that will not stay suppressed. We real.
ly thought Clackamas county, seat of
empire for both Brownell and U 'Ren,
twin suns of reform, had long ago been
purified.

If you have any outaneous blcmish,
don't use paint, powder or anything
else to cover it up. Too often this only
emphasizes the defect. Besides, it 5
much easier to remove the disfigure-
ment with ordinary mercolized wax.
Applied nightly, the wax will gradual
ly remove freckles, pimples, black
heads, moth-patehes, sallowness, red or
yellow blotches, or any surface erup-
tions, The affected cuticle is absorbed,
a little eacn day, until the clear, soft,
youthful and beautiful skin beneath is
brought wholly to view. Ask the drug
gist fo an ounce of mercolizel wax
and use this like yon use cold cream.
Remove in morning with soap and wa
ter. Many who have tried this simple
and harmless treatment report aston
ishing results.
If bothered with wrinkles or crow 3
