JAP SHIP SINKING
IN THE ATLANTIC

Boston, Feb. s.-Wireless stations
from here northward along the At
lantic seahoard snapped out calls to-
day to steamers In the vicinity OF
Cape Race in the hope of gaining
further word OF the Japanese steamer
Takata Maru, reported sinking at
midnight after q collision OFF Cape
Race with the American tank ship
Silver Shell.
From the Silver Shell came word
indicating the Japanese vessel had
gone down, and that the Silver Shell
was crippled, with the steamer Ar
lmonia standing by. The last previous
word of the Japanese ship said room
full of water" indicating probably
that the waves had gone through to
the dynamo compartment.
The Silver Shell was petroleum
laden, Bayonne. N, j., for Dunkirk,
France, while the Takata Maru was
ten days out from London for Maru.
The Takata Mafu is a 6,700-ton
ifreighter. completed last year.
A message from the Silver Shell
indicated she had launched several
boats, but as there was no trace OF
the Takata, II was feared she had
been lost.
THE first we heard about a colli-
sion in a dense fog" said the Charles
town wireless station today, was at
1880 o'clock last night. We picked
up an S. o. S. call. followed by the
cry, Come and save me- Imme-
diately afterward we heard, You are
badly hit. We will stand by
"At 1880 we picked up the last
message, saying we will trust you;
stand by and lifeboats will be sent
over; meantime one vessel slgnaled
that she was the Silver Shell and
gave her position. We did not get
the name of the other, nor how badly
she was hit"

THE SUGAR FACTORY.

The plans of the people who are
arranging for the building of sugar
factory in the Rogue valley are now
fast approaching a point where they
can be termed as fully completed.
First, the required acreage was guar
anteed, beets being the first requisite
for the operation Of a factory The
promoters had already agreed to the
construction of the factory if the
farmers Of the valley would supply
the beets, and they are now keeping
the terms of the covenant in every
particular. The telegram published
elsewhere bears the guarantee of men
whose word is unquestioned in Utah,
where they have been identified with
progress for many years, and their
assurance is Just as good as though
the factory was already pointing it's
stacks upward. The contract has
been let and the construction will
soon be commenced. With an insti-
tuition involving the expediture of
half million dollars to be built and
ready for operation by next Septem-
Der, it can be seen that there can not
be great delay in commencement
of the work. The acceptance OF con-
tracts for acreage for single sea-
sons planting will be of immense
benefit, for there were many farmers
upon rented lands who could not be
safe in contracting for a long period.
The next point of great public in
terest in the story Of the valleys first
sugar factory will be the announce
$ ment of its definite location. Al
ready it is pretty definitely believed
by the people throughout the valley
that the location will be in Grants
Pass district. The fact that the
greatest acreage is in this region, and
that 1t is central to all the districts
in which acreage has been secured,
would seem to settle the question for
the builders OF the factory as it has
already settled it In the minds of the
people in the upper end OF the valley.
This, however, is still an open ques-
tion, and announcement, probable
within the next week or two, is await
ed with the greatest interest. Ger
tain it is. however, that II the Grants
Pass district continues to add to its
acreage, as 1t is doing, and the Med
ford district allows its crouch to in
fuence 1t in seeking to have con-
tracts cancelled, this end OF the val
ley will get not only the one factory
first to be built, but the second one
which Mr.. Nibley says will follow.

The wild duck sells for more than the

SCOTLAND FEELS EFFECTS

As a result Of the snowstorms OF the

a high mortality among deer and
wild birds in the Scottish highlands
Not In the memory of the oldest in
habitant have the effects OF tho
winter been so severe as this year
Reports gathered by the local
apthorIties show that many hun
dreds of deer, particularly kinds,
we're frozen to death or died from
exposure. In some cases hand feed
ing by kindly local residents saved
the deer from starvation. But in
the majority OF the forests little ad-
ditional food was provided. on ac-
count Of the heavy expenses and the
scarcity of labor.
