The desire of a western legislator to

presenting a bill regulating the short

Salt Lake CITY, Utah.

October Z. 1915.
To the Commercial Clubs. Land
Owners and Citizens OF Rogue
River Valley.
About year ago the undersigned
made several visits TO your valley for
the purpose OF investigating condi-
tions that appertaln TO the establish
ment OF tho sugar manufacturing In
dustry In the Rogue River valley.
These preliminary Investigations
were very encouraging and we later
induced Bishop g. w. Nibley. one Of
the principal stockholders OF the ten
million dollar Utah-Idaho Sugar
company OF Salt Lake City. to visit
the valley and meet the representa-
tives Of your commercial clubs and
Its many prominent citizens and land
owners,
At the time OF Mr.. Nibley's visit II
was decided that the season was too
far advanced to obtain the required
acreage to justify building sugar
factory for the season OF 1915. ow-
Ing to the fact that the growing OF
sugar beets had not yet been given a
practical tryout In your valley. Bishop
Nibley at that time demanded that
before he would help build a sugar
factory that Ave thousand acres OF
suitable lands be first signed up for
beet culture, and that the people OF
Rogue River valley put $25o,o00 In
TO the enterprise. II should be un-
derstood that II was not necessary to
obtain money In Rogue River valley
In order to build sugar factory, but
Il was felt and deemed important
that local people should be hnan-
cially interested In the new industry
30 that II would have full measure
OF local support to help insure Its
success,
As the undertaking was a large
one. and not enough time was left
before tho growing season OF 1915
to work out business plan that
would enlist the support Of tho neces-
sary capita, and obtain the necessary
beet contracts. the matter was de-
ferrod. We were satisfied with the
result OF our flrst efforts because Of
the splendid reception accorded us
by your people and because OF the
promise OF Bishop Nibley that he
was ready and willing to go ahead
for the season OF 1915.
Since the beet meetings that were
held last January In Medford under
the auspices OF the committees OF
tho several commercial clubs Of your
valley, we have kept right on work.
Ing on the plan and we can now an
nounce that we are ready to 20 ahead
II you land owners will raise the
beets. and we respectfully ask the
commercial clubs OF Ashland, Med
ford, Central Point, Gold Hill, Rogue
River, Grants Pass and other places
In tho valley, and all It's citizens, to
help us obtain tho necessary 5000
acres OF beet contracts,
We have recently obtained the ne
cessary guarantees OF local financial
support, and the backing Of capital

lists who viii build factory under
certain conditions that they exact,
and the first and most important OF
these conditions Is that the acreage
that will be devoted hereafter to beet
culture must be signed up at once.
Copies OF beet contracts can be
obtained at any OF the commercial
clubs or at the headquarters of the
sugar company In Medford hotel,
Medford. and Josephine hotel, Grants
Pass. or will be mailed on request.
We will have soil and beet expert
who will visit your land without ex-
pense to you and give you such in
formation as You desire about beet
culture. and the headquarters at
Medford and Grants Pass will be In
charge OF the undersigned. who are
thoroughly familiar with the cul-
ture OF beets and the manufacture OF
sugar.
The form OF the contract we ask
you to sign is the same as that made
by the beet growers OF Utah and
Idaho who sell beets to the Utah
Idaho company, and the prices paid
TO you growers will be the same as
paid in Idaho and Utah. and the price
will be the same I. o. b. at any and
all railroad stations on the Southern
Pacific between Ashland and Merlin
or any station on the Oregon and
California Coast.
Last spring we caused beet seed to
be widely distributed In your valley
and some OF It was planted and beets
have been grown. These beets have
since matured and samples have been
tested and conditions observed, prov
Ing to our satisfaction that beet cul-
ture and the manufacture of sugar in
your valley win be profitable and
should be its greatest industry.
Numerous tests have also been made
of the different soils In the valley,
and the result Is that we are con-
vinced that there are at least fifty
thousand acres In Rogue River and
adjacent valleys adaptable to beet
culture.
The climatic conditions have been
pronounced ideal, and the patches OF
beets planted have convinced us that
q fine quality OF beets can be grown
and that the tonnage and percentage
OF sugar will average larger than In
the other sugar beet districts OF
which we have knowledge.
Just as soon as Rogue River valley
proved up to be an ideal country for
beet culture and the tests Of beets
we're available, the question Of the
construction OF beet sugar factory
was taken UP with Salt Lake capital
ists, who are familiar and Interested
In sugar securities, and the result
was that the Oregon-Utah Sugar
company was organized, with a paid
up capital Of 100000 and q $780,
900 issue OF first mortgage bonds
has been provided for construction
purposes, and bank credit Of $20O,-
900 to 100000 to annually handle
the crop and sugar has been arranged
for.
II Is up to the farmers of Rogue
River valley to sign up part of their

FACTS ABOUT THE SUGAR
INDUSTRY

We think few facts about the
sugar industry Will be In point and
interesting. Last year the sugar
manufactured In Utah had a value of
approximately $9,OOO.0O0. The
money paid out directly to farmers
for beets amounted to about $4.-
100000, A similar state OF affairs
exists In Idaho, and the output in

ed in 1t and have made money out
OF the sugar industry.
The directors of the Oregon Utah
Sugar company are: G. w. Nibley,
capitalist, who is probably the largest
individual factor in the great sugar
industries of Utah and Idaho; o. G.
Beebe. cashier and manager OF the
lions Savings Bank and Trust COM
pany and vice-president of the Utah
Savings & Trust company; Rodney T.
Badger. vice-president and manager
Of Utah State National bank; Bishop
David A. Smith, capitalist, and
Harold Reed Smoot, investment
banker, all OF whom reside in Salt
Lake, and George e. Sanders. presi-
dent of The Rogue River Public Ser
vice corporation, and Alex Nibley,
secretary Of Oregon Utah Sugar COM
pany.
The officers of the company are;
G. w. Nibley, president; George E.
Sanders, vice-president; o. C. Beebe.
treasurer; Alex Nibley. secretary. and
F. s. Bramwell, field superintendent.
All Of these officers are personally
familiar with and acquainted in
Rogue River valley, and Mr.. G. w.
Nibley has been identified with the
development Of eastern Oregon for
the past 80 years, and lived in
Baker, Oregon, for several years.
1T is NOW SQUARELY UP TO
YOU PEOPLE OF ROGUE RIVER
VALLEY TO DECIDE IF YOU WANT
THE OREGON-UTAH SUGAR COM
PANY TO GO AHEAD AND BUILD
A SUGAR FACTORY IN YOUR VAL
LEY AND ESTABLISH A GREAT IN
DUSTRY IN YOUR MIDST. 1T
MEANS THE INITIAL INVESTMENT
OF ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
More capital in other industries
will follow, and 1t will soon increase
the taxable value of Jackson and
Josephine counties, an amount which
is easily estimated at SIC. 1000, 900.
II appears to us that all Rogue River
valley needs is more Industries that
will bring in new money and employ
the people 1t now has. and those who
will come when a state OF prosperity
exists.
The Oregon-Utah Sugar company
is willing IL you will grow beets to
locate In your valley because of your
superior climate and natural condi-
tions for beet culture. and because
the sugar business is, generally
speaking, only profitable in coun-
tries that are already literally peo-
pied and which have good geo.
graphical location and that are we'll
developed---in other words a section
like Rogue River valley, that has
passed the pioneer stage. ARE YOU
WILLING TO GO IN FOR A BIG
INDUSTRY THAT WILL HOLD UP
YOUR REPUTATToNY
Any information YOU desire will
be supplied at our headquarters In
Grants Pass and Medford.
Respectfully submitted,

Utah and Idaho will be increased
this year nearly 40 per cent.
This year $4,000 acres OF beets
were grown in Utah compared to
45,400 last year,; $4,000 acres in
Idaho. and over 100000 acres in
Colorado. In Colorado the value of
the sugar industry ranks along with
its gold production. DO YOU WANT
THESE CONDITIONS DUPLICATED
IN OREGON AND HAVE ROGUE
RIVER VALLEY THE HOME OF
THE INDUSTRY AND BE A GREAT
SUGAR CENTER, A THING THAT
SALT LAKE CITY NOW. ENJOYS?
The sugar industry benefits all
classes Of people and all other busi-
ness. The sugar company will i'm
mediately bring prosperity to the
farmers, as it is cash crop. and
their crop is sold to the sugar COM
pany before the seed is planted. A
sugar factory gives employment to
labor, teamsters, and stimulates the
transportation business generally. 1t
uses large quantities OF coal. wood.
limestone, power, etc. The building
OF our factory in Rogue River valley
will put more than $1,000,0 900 Of new
outside money in your banks every
year. 1t will give the farmer good
loan value for his lands. The indus
try is big taxpayer and. what is
more, 1t puts new life in the whole
business community and new money
to do business with. Each year
your communities that raise beets
will get richer and the lands used
for beet culture improve.
The sugar industry will also stimu-
late the live stock industry. Your
valley will have cattle, hogs and
poultry to sell in abundance. New
industries will spring up, such as
more dairies. meat packing houses,
canneries. etc. Big canneries, with
homemade sugar and syrup, means
market for fruit that now goes to
waste.
THERE is ONE FEATURE OF
THE SUGAR BUSINESS YOU
PEOPLE OUGHT TO KNOW, AND
THAT is, THAT THE SUGAR BUSI-
NESS is A MILLION.DOLLAR BUsI-
NESS.
You can not so into the sugar
business profitably without resources
Of more than million dollars.
II you want to so into the sugar
business, you will find that by the
time you make up your mind to build
factory and obtain the necessary
beet contracts you are out $4,000,
and by the time you are ready to
let contract to build factory you
will have to have 800, 900 in hand,
and the cost OF the factory and ap-
purtenances runs from $500, 900 to
$500, 900 and 1t requires from $200,-
900 to 100000 (according to size
Of crop) to pay farmers for the beets
and carry the sugar until It is sold.

lands for beet culture. Their action
will determine whether or not the
sugar industry In Oregon is started
In Rogue River valley or elsewhere,
as the stockholders OF the Oregon
Utah Sugar company have made up
their minds to so into the sugar husi-
ness in Oregon. and the Rogue River
valley Is its first choice, and II the
acreage can not be obtained, the
company then will decide on Ump-
qua or Willamette valleys.
The location OF the plant and its
site will be decided by the directors
as soon rs the acreage is signed up
and passed Cd. No~matter where
the exact location Is. the farmer can
deliver HIS beets to convenient load
ing stations on the Southern Pacific
and California and Oregon Coast
railroads, and the price Of beets
I. o. b. cars will be the same as
though delivered at the factory.
AS soon as the beet contracts are
signed up, the company proposes to
establish permanent places Of busi-
ness In Medford and Grants Pass for
the convenient handling Of the busi-
ness OF both ends of the valley.
TO MAKE SUGAR WE HAVE TO
HAVE THE BEETs, AND BEFORE
BUILDING A FACTORY AND IS
SUING BONDS WE MUST BE SURE
OF THE BEETS. YOU ATTEND TO
THE BEET RAISING PART AND
WE WILL ARRANGE THE REST.
A number OF important factors en-
tor into the sugar business and the
building OF factory in a new coun-
try.
First: 1t must be certain that
enough beets will be raised to keep
sugar factory running.
Second: To arrange contracts in
time to have the plant built and
ready. september 1. 1916. in this
case
Third: The national tariff question
and the prospects of market for
sugar at reasonable prices.
Fourth: The consummation OF the
preliminary financial arrangements
that have been made to carry out
the plan as soon as 1t is definitely
decided upon.
Fifth; Satisfactory freight rates
must be arranged for, and contracts
must be made for lime. coal, coke
and wood and other necessities used
in large quantities.
Sixth: The beet seed question Is
vital one this year, as the German
supply Is now cut Off. We can get
seed II we decide on the amount and
place the order for It at once.
