Grants Pass is Host to
Sugar Beet Growers

Grants Pass John Mills, of Talent,
won the title of the "banner sugar
beet grower" at the beet growers eel
ebration held in Grants Pass Saturday.
He reported crop Of % tons per acre,
yielding a gross return of $154 pei
acre, the cash outlay being only $29. 7!
per acre.
Beet growers and prospective beet
growers from all Of Southern Oregon
gathered in Grants Pass as the guests
of the city, 600 farmers and their
wives coming by special trains from as
far north as Oakland and from Ash
land on the south.
Including the local people 1000 men
and women got their first view of the
inside of the factory, through which
they were piloted by the officials of
the Utah-Idaho Sugar company. The
factory was nfull operation and was
slicing beets at the rate of 500 tons
per day, while sack of sugar was be-
ing put into the warehouse every 40
seconds.
Upon the factory grounds the visi-
tors were escorted through the feeding
pens where steers were. being fattened
upon beet pulp while farmers were
seen loading tons of the pulp to be
hauled to their farms for feeding to
fattening stock and to milch cows.
At noon, after inspection of the fac
tory, the visitors were guests of the
city at dinner, the hundreds being fed
at the Commercial club.

PROPOSED HIGHER FREIGHT RATES
ARE CANCEIED BY COMMISSION

Washington, D. C.--C Cancellation Of
proposed general increases in freight
rates by transcontinental railroads on
traffic from and to the Pacific Coast
and the intermountain country and the
East was authorized Wednesday by the
Interstate Commerce commission.
Notice was given Of a compromise be-
tween carriers and shippers for max
imum increase Of 10 cents per hundred
pounds on carload shipments, and rs
cents per hundred pounds on less than
carload traffic to Coast points.
The proposed increases amounted in
some instances to several hundred per
cent, and were suspended by the COM
mission several months ago after ex-
tensive hearings here in which ship
pers vigorously protested. The great
bulk of the traffic to points concerned
is involved. The commission at the
same time cancelled hearings set for
November and December in Chicago,
Salt Lake, San Francisco, Portland and
Spokane.
No changes to intermountain points
from Eastern territory between the
Atlantic Coast and the Missouri River
are contemplated, and the commission
said that, accordingly, determinations
under the long and short-haul clause
now existing between Pacific Coast
ports and the intermountain cities will
be diminished to the extent Of the in
crease to the Pacific Coast ports.

Raise Big Crops Wilson.

+ . D..
Washington, D. C.-President Will
son blamed middlemen for the high
cost of foodstuffs here Tuesday night
in speech, welcoming to Washington
the convention Of the National Grange,
the first formal speech he has deliv-
cred since the election. Urging that
farmers increase their output, the
President said:
"We ought to raise such big crops
that circumstances like the present
can never recur, when men can make
as much as if the supply was SO short
that the middleman could charge for it
what he pleased. 1t will not do to be
niggardly with the rest of the world in
respect to its food supply"

Cranberry Crop is Cut.

Marshfeld- North inlet, the cram
berry producing area of Coos county,
has only rs per cent Of its normal crop
this season. Some fine berries are
being marketed here. Growers are re-
ceiving $3.50 bushel, and it is doubt
full If any cranberries will be exported
this fall. Reports of shortages every
where is likely to increase the selling
price to $4 or So. so before the winter
is over.
There are about 20 acres in cram
berries at North inlet, and instead OF
harvesting the usual amount of from
$500 to 1000 bushels the ranchers will
not obtain much more than 1000 bush
els. The shortage is attributed to late
frosts and the presence of water on
the vines for too long period, that is,
until after the blooms were out.

Of General Interest
About Oregon
1887 ,8O9 Acres Are Open
for Settlement in State

Figures collected by 0. P.
Hoff, state labor commissioner, from
Oregon land offices show that July l,
1916, there were 15, 337, ,809 acres Of
vacant public lands in Oregon open to
settlement and entry under the provis-
ions of the homestead laws. Of this
amount l3, 942, 348 acres are surveyed.
This acreage is a decrease in the year
of 104, 1863 acres and 632,03 acres
since July !, 1914.
Much of the acreage taken up in the
last two years was under the timber
and stone acts, mineral, coal, desert
land entries and withdrawn for power
sites and public water reserves. A
small portion was taken under the
homestead act. "From the records
obtainable," said Mr.. Hoff, sit weuld
appear that desirable homestead lands
are scarce in Oregon, especially in the
part lying west Of the Cascades"
OF. the 13, 942, 348 acres of surveyed
lands only 257, 71S acres, or about 18
per cent, are situated in Western Ore
gon, and a very small percentage of
this area is suitable for practical
homesteading. @s
Many Oregon counties show an in
crease in the public land area, and Of
this total "a, 1922 acres lie west of the
Cascade mountains and represent en-
tries that have been cancelled for nom
fulfillment of statutory requirements,
or relinquished for the reason that
they were found untenable for home
stead purposes.
In the high plateau regions of East
ern and Central Oregon, where irriga-
tion and dry farming methods are used
and enlarged homestead act applies,
there is abundant opportunity for set
tlement and entry, and it is in this re-
gion that the great bulk of the home
stead settlement has taken place dur
ing recent years.

British Refuse to Abate Blacklist
Of American Business Houses

Washington, D. C.-The British re-
ply to the latest American note pro-
testing against the trade blacklist,
made public Tuesday night by the
State department, denies that rights
of neutral traders under International
law have been ruthlessly Cancelled, de-
fines the blacklist measure as muni-
cipal regulation plainly concerning the
British citizens and contends that it is
designed to shorten the war.
The note fails to meet the American
demand that the names Of American
firms be stricken from the blacklist,
but attempts to convince the State de-
partment that the British position is
just and founded on law. 1t leaves
open the door for further negotiation,
which is expected to follow.
