''0regon for
the Settler

No more timely publication could
possibly have boon planned than
Oregon for the Settler" the booklet
that is just off the presses and which
represents one of the efforts of the
Southern Pacific in its campaign to
direct attention to Western Oregon.
The book comes just at a time
when Eastern people are turning
their eyes toward the West. 1t will
have influence with two classes. the
globe-trotting American and the
homeseeker.
Sixty-two pages arc given to de-
scriptive matter and pictures Of West
ern Oregon, and fifty-three subjects
are treated. 1t is book that Ia in
tended to to convey exact information
as to the opportunities offered the
prospective settlcr
Beginning with a general state
ment concerning the geographical di-
visions OF the state, Oregon for the
Sottler" takes up a discussion Of tho
western half as it Is known to Ore
gonians. 1t gives general descrip-
tions of the Rogue River Valley, the
Umpqua and the Willamette Valleys,
and the country bordering the west
coast. Farm products are then given
intelligent discussion, the last third
of the pages of tho book being given
over to furnishing exact inroration as
to where landseekers may find cheap
and desirable lands in the four sec
tions of the territory served by the
Southern Pacific lines. II tells where
cheap lands are located in the Rogue
River county along the Umpqua,
along the Willamette. and what they
are good for.
Oregon for the Settler" comes
from the presses Just when q large
travel may be expected rs a result of
the European waIs and the opening
of the Panama Pacific and the San
Diego Expositiors
Tho number of travellers who have
kept right on going, after getting a
glimpse of the valley lands close to
the main line OF the Southern Pa
cific, can hardly be counted. They
have always had the impression con-
veyed by the wet. undrained and Of
ten overflowed lands close to the big
streams.
Oregon for the Settler" counter
acts that impression. 1t tells the
traveller that tho lands they arc look
ing for are over among the hills, and
that Western Oregon is a succession
of fertile valleys which cannot be
seen from tho train.
The Southern Pacific Company
aims to tell the tiuth about Oregon
and in this book has called on the
Agricultural College for many of it's
facts. 1t treats the situation in a
new way. and one that will be ap-
proved by the Lopest and conscien-
tiouD real estate dealer.

Sugar Factory
Is Assured

The never-failing booster spirit
has scored another success. In a
conference with the beet sugar COM
mittee at the Medford Hotel, yester-
day, G. w. Nibley, the Salt Lake cap-
italist, assured the beet boosters that
the sugar factory would be estab-
lished. While no definite figures are
available at the present writing, 1t is
certain that more than the required
5000 acres have been signed up. On
Tuesday the stores of Medford AMI
Talent were closed and a systematic
campaign waged. The Medford peo-
pie signed up 1,16S acres, making a
total of about $500 acres secured
by that city. Talent carried off the
honors for single days work, sign
ing up 1,75S acres on Tuesday. GAO
of these being in the Shasta Valley.
1t is expected that Grants Pass will
hand in a total exceeding 1000
acres, while Gold Hill, Ashland and
other districts will bring up the to-
tai to far above the required amount.
Judge Dunn and George Millner
signed up 100 acres in the district
south of town recently. Figures for
the Ashland total are hard to obtain,
but we are assured that the local
committee will turn in a total which
will compare favorably with other
sections.
The establishment of the factory
means a great deal to the valley as
it will furnish large payroll during
the season and will also require large
amounts of wood and other local
products. If figures from other beet
raising sections are to be believed,
the raising of beets will bring in
far greater revenue than any other
kind of agricultural pursuit now
practiced in the valley and will re-
quire and pay for great amount of
labor which will give the unemployed
work. The waste from the factory
makes the best kind of fodder for
cattle and should give a considerable
impetus to this industry as we'll.

New Company
Offers Power

A. A. Flynn, electrical engineer
for the Rogue River Public Service
Corporation, was in town Wednes-
day. This corporation has submitted
a proposition to the city council to
furnish Ashland with electric current
in wholesale quantities. The corpo-
ration has. plant at Gold Hill which
at present is generating 500 electri-
cal horsepower and which is being
enlarged so as to generate an addi-
tional thousand horsepower. 1t is
furnishing Gold Hill with a portion
of its lights and also has a propo-
sition under consideration by the
Medford council of somewhat the
same nature as that proposed here.
Mr.. Flynn tells us that IL his COM
pany can land the Ashland and Med
ford contracts they will Immediately
enlarge their plant so as to produce
1000 horsepower. The Beaver Port
land Cement Company Is customer
of this company.
The California-Oregon Power
Company also has a proposition be-
fore the council to furnish current
to the city. Between the two propo-
sitions it is probable the city will
come to an agreement with one
or the other that will prove satisfac-
tory and make an end to the lighting
troubles in Ashland.

Senator Garland introduced a bill
today providing for an appropria-
tion Of $4,000 for the Improvement
of a public soda spring and grounds
owned by the state at Sodaville, Linn
county. The money is to be expend-
ed under the direction of three trus-
tees to be appointed by the governor.
Evidently we have got something
to learn about how to develop min
eral springs.
GEO. w. SEAGER.
Introducing a bill particularly of
this kind is quite different from en-
acting it into law. Meantime we are
boosting Ashland mineral water by
having "Siskiyou" here on tap at the
state house for the members of the
legislature, and it is a great hit.

as Mr.. Seager says: Ashland has
something to learn about developing
mineral waters" Also 1t has some
thing to learn about treatment of

WASTEFUL METHODS

Wasteful methods are being forced on

TO operate the steamer Albatross. on the
on the Atlantic coast during the fun year,
according to Secretary Redfield
For nine months of last year the Alba :
tross was ted up at her docks because
there was not money enough to keep
her going. Her crew, made up Of officers
and men of the regular navy. were
aboard the full year and drawing Tull
pay. This year she stopped October J.
and unless Congress provides an emer-
gency appropriation she will lay idle
with her ful-paid crew until June 50.
when the regular appropriation becomes
available. Secretary Redfield said today
that if he had been given $4,000 more
this year he would have been able to
keep the vessel going along in her good
work.
These two vessels are the labora tory
vessels Of the fisheries service. It is their
duty to study the habits of fish in the
waters in the United States and in the
oceans. Their work is an important one,
in the opinion of the Secretary. because
they seek out new sources of food and
look INTO the habits Of the fish.
For instance. he said. there is danger
to the tuna fish industry of California
The fish disappear at certain times OF
the year. If the Albatross was in com :
mission those aboard her would try to find
out where the tuna fish goes to during the
off season. With the price of meat going

new food fish and make knoTn new fish

FARE WORSE THAN ANY

Sufferings of Armenian Women
and Girls.
Teacher in Near East Says They Are
Full of Sentiment and Emotion.
Explains Their Apathy.

Armenian women and girls. who are
much less known in this country than
are their husbands and brothers, have
borne heavier fate than the women
of any other Christian people. Through
many generations. as far back as Their
traditions run, they have passed their
lives. brought UP their children and

of their family fortunes under the con
tinual threats of pillage and acre.

who as a teacher in the near east and
as 4 lover of Armenia. has had the op
portunity to look behind the veil of the
Armenian woman's apathy. She writes:
armenian women are full of senti-
ment and emotion. and unless they
have been repressed by harsh expert
ence they are unrestrained in express
sion. AS students they differ among
themselves, ranging all the way from
dense stupidity t. brilliarce, but aver
