AN OPPORTUNITY TO GRASP.

The campaign that will determine
whether or not the Rogue valley is
to have a beet sugar factory built in
time to handle the crop of 1916 will
be launched this week. Mr.. Nibley,
the secretary OF the company formed
to build the factory, will arrive in
Grants Pass Monday and will be join
ed here by F. S. Bramwell, the field
manager for the company. II Is
stated by these gentlemen that all
that is required OF the valley Is the
guarantee that the product Of 5000
acres of beets will be sold them an
nually for conversion into the sugar
of commerce at the factory. Without
this assurance the factory could not
operate proftably.
1t would appear that the chance
is all being taken by the factory
people. II the land owner can con-
tract his product for term OF years,
he has solved the problem OF mar
ket and Of price and can bend his
energies toward making the soil pro-
duce its maximum. The land owner
would be no worse of II the factory
should not continue to operate after
a year or two, for his land will be in
better condition for other crops after
having grown beets. But there is
no danger that the factory would
not operate successfully II the re-
quired acreage is planted to beets
each year. And after the first year
the acreage will surely increase. The
producers OF the Rogue valley have
been seeking for years to find some
crop that could be grown in the
young orchards and produce living
for the orchardist while his trees
we're reaching the bearing age. The
beet is that crop.
The man who is always looking for
the bugaboo or for the ny in the oint-
ment tells us that there is no help

The lumber industry OF the west
suffered first when the people OF the
east commenced to retrench in busi-
ness. When building stopped the de-
mand for lumber naturally stopped
and the mills were quiet. The move
ment OF lumber to the east is now
the first influence of better business
conditions in that direction. 1t is the
direct result OF activity in eastern
