could repeat the feat.
Having convinced Umballa and the
council that she would not marry her

the populace that on the next fete day
the queen would confront the lions in
the elephant arena. What could one
man do against such odds? Lions

FOR PUBLIC FESTIVAL
IMPORTANT TO KNOW AMOUNT
OF FOOD TO PROVIDE.
Famous Chef Recommends the Quan.
titles Enumerated Below as Being
Amply Sufficient to Supply
One Hundred Guests.

When arranging a special dinner
or supper, such as church societies
often give, it is as important to avoid
having a large amount of food and
drink left over as it is to provide
enough. One thing to be borne in
mind is that an item which is part
of a full menu will be served in small
er portions than when it is part of a
limited number of dishes.
The following are the quantities of
materials which famous chef recon-
mends as sufficient for 100 guests:
Three and one-half pounds of
coffee.
Six gallons of cocoa made from
three gallons each of milk and wa
ter and one pound Of cocoa.
Four pounds of loaf sugar.
Five gallons of oysters.
Two hundred and sixty sandwiches
made from Is loaves of bread and
four pounds of butter.
Thirty pounds of ham. to boil
and slice.
Ten medium-sized cabbages for
cold-slaw.
Twenty pies.
Five loaf cakes and five layer
cakes.
Eighteen quarts of ice cream.
Ten four-pound chickens and 30
heads of celery for salad.
Five chickens and five tongues for
sandwiches.
Five quarts Of dressing for Salads

I loafed between fights. Back Of this

The Flight From the Arena.

The Flight From the Arena.

him for moment. The confusion all
about, the pail of dust, the roaring OF
the frightened lions which had escaped
destruction, the shrill cries Of the
panic-stricken populace. who now
looked upon the white memsahib as
the daughter OF Shaitan. these dulled
his inventive faculties for the nonce.
Here was the confusion, properly
planned. and he could not make use
of it. Possibly when no further ex-
plosion shook the air. the mob and
the soldiers would return out OF GU
riosity. And then. good-by!
But the sight of lion emerging
from the murk the wrong side of the
crevasse reused him thoroughly.
Save yourself!" cried Kathlyn in
despair: there is no possible way OF
saving me. have never in all my
life injured any one, and yet God
makes me go through all this.
l am mad you are, the whole world is!'
RUM"
Bruce laughed: 1t was that kind OF
laughter with which men enter battle.
He drew Lal Singh's revolvers and
thrust one into her hand.
Shoot at the keyhole. Leave the
lion to me. With the pandemonium no
one will note the shots. or II they do,
will think that more explosions are
on the way. I'll get you out of this
nightmare; that's what | was born

said. Without more ado she pressed
the muzzle OF the revolver into the
keyhole and fired. She heard a shot
behind her, another and another: but
she kept on firing into and abo&t the
keyhole till the revolver was empty.
A firm hand drew her aside.

The Greatest Degree.

Science assures US that there Ii a
definite limit to the lowest conceiv-
able temperature, and that this may
be placed with considerable accuracy
at 459 degrees below zero on the Fab.
renheit scale.
1t is held that at all temperatures
above this absolute zero particles
of matter. either solid of gaseous, are
in a state of vibration, the more rap
i'd vibrations corresponding to the
greater degree of heat.
All such vibrations would cease en-.

Second: To arrange contracts in time to

Fourth: The consummation of the pre-

Fifth: Satisfactory freight rates must

Sixth: The best seed question is a vital

FACTS ABOUT THE SUGAR
INDUSTRY.

We think few facts about the sugar in
dustry will be in point and interesting
Last year the sugar manufactured in Utah
had value of approximately $9,000,000
The money paid out directly to farmers fol
beets amounted to about $4,250,000. A
similar state of affairs exists in Idaho and
the output in Utah and Idaho will be in
creased this year nearly 40 per cent.
This year $4,000 acres of beets were
grown in Utah compared to 45400 acres
last Year,, 10000 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 great sugar center, a
thing that Salt Lake City now enjoys?
The sugar industry benefits all classes
of people and all other business The sugar
company will Immediately bring prosper
ity to the farmers as it is cash crop, and
their crop is sold to the sugar company
before the seed is planted. A sugar factory
gives employment to labor, teamsters, and
stimulates the transportation business gen
orally. 1t uses large quantities Of coal,
wood, limestone, power, ETC. The building
of our factory in Rogue River Valley will
put more than $1,000,000 of new outside
money in your banks every year. 1t will
give the farmer a good loan value for his
lands. The industry is big taxpayer and,
what is more, it puts new life in the whole
business community and new money to do
business with. Each year your commun-
tiles that raise beets will get richer and the
lands used for beet culture improve.
The sugar industry will also stimulate
the livestock 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 home
made sugar and syrup means a 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 BUSINESS is A
MILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS.
You cannot go into the sugar business
profitably without resources of more than
a million dollars.
If you want to go into the sugar bust
ness, you will find that by the time you
make up your mind to build factory, and

OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS ARE
GOOD PEOPLE.

UOOD 1GOfLG,
The new company's Officers and Direct
ors are all responsible men who understand
the sugar business, and already have a
large sum invested in it, 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. c. Beebe, cashier and manager of
the Zion Bank and Trust Company and
vice-president Of the Utah Savings and
Trust Company; Rodney II. Badger, vice
president and manager Of Utah State Ma
tional Bank; Bishop David A. Smith, capi-
talist; and Harold Reed Smoot, investment
banker, all of whom reside in Salt Lake;
and George E. Sanders, president of the
Rogue River Public Service Corporation;
and Alex Nibley, secretary of Oregon Utah
Sugar Company.
The officers of the company are c. w.
Nibley, president; George E. Sanders, vice
president; O. G. 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 thirty 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 ORE
GON-UTAH SUGAR COMPANY TO GO
AHEAD AND BUILD A SUGAR FAC
TORY IN YOUR VALLEY AND ESTAB-
LISH A GREAT INDUSTRY IN YOUR
MIDST TT MEANS THE INITIAL IN
VESTMENT OF ONE MILLION DOL
LARS.
More capital in other industries will fol-
low, and it will soon increase the taxable
value of Jackson and Josephine counties,
an amount which is easily estimated at
$10,0O0,000. 1t appears to us that all
Rogue River Valley needs is more indus
tries that will bring in new money and en-
ploy the people it now has, and those who
will come when a state of prosperity ex-
lists.
The Oregon Utah Sugar Company is
willing, if you will grow beets, to locate in
your valley because of your superior elm
ate and natural conditions for beet culture,
and because the sugar business is, gener-
ally speaking only profitable in countries
that are already literally peopled, and
which have good geographical location,
and that are well developed other
words section like Rogue River Valley,
that has passed the pioneer stage. Are
you now willing to go in for big industry
that will hold up your reputation?
Any information you desire will be sup
Dlied at our headquarters in Medford and

obtain the necessary beet contracts, you
are out $4,000, and by the time you are
ready to let a contract to build factory,
you will have to have 100000 in hand,
and the cost Of the factory and appurte-
nances runs from $500000 to 100000, and
it requires from 100000 to 100000 (ac-
cording to size of crop) to pay farmers for
the beets and carry the sugar until it is
sold.
