DAY OF JUBILEE DUE.
where the sugar industry has b

Where the sugar industry has be-
come best established and its bene-
fits realized there is greatest rejoicing
when q new factory makes possible a
greater acreage of beets. In dis
trict in Utah where 10 factories were
already in operation the eleventh was
dedicated on September 5th. and the
community gave over two days to cele-
bration and jollifcation. A varied
program was rendered, and among
the speakers we're General Manager
T. R, Cutler of the Utah-Idaho COM
pany. and Governor Spry. Two bands
supplied music. and men, women and
children Joined in the spirit of cele-
bration. In Utah the full value OF
the industry is appreciated. The in
fuence of the sugar beet upon the
commercial life of district has been
proved. and its potency in producing
a condition of prosperity can not be
gainsaid.
The Grants Pass district will soon
be in position for the celebration of
the starting up of the first sugar fac
toryA in western Oregon. The great
plant in South Grants Pass is near
completion, and before another moon
has waned sugar garnered from
Rogue valley soil and sunshine will
be in the sack. II communities in
which the sugar-making industry has
been an established fact for nearly
q quarter Of century will spontane-
ously give over two days to celebra-
tion of the coming OF an eleventh
factory. what should southern Oregon
do to mark the establishment of the
industry here?
When the slicing Of beets and the
crystallizing Of the saccharine is COM
menced a new era in agriculture will
have been marked. The present sea-
son has proved that beets will grow
here as nowhere else in the west
Fields grown under right conditions
are pronounced as good as have ever
been grown anywhere Lands brought
to this condition have definite and
fixed value. and their market will be
established. 1t means labor for those
who seek employment and a crop
from which returns are sure and soon.
Surely Grants Pass and the Rogue
valley have a day Of rejoicing and of
celebration coming. It is fortunate
community that has a million-dollar
industry dropped into its midst.

FEARFUL FATE OF SERBIA

Prince Regent Alexander, Of Serbia, in
a statement, this week, to the United Press,
declared that his country, since the begin
ming of the war, in July of 1914, has lost
100000 Of her 100000 people, through
death, by the sword, or by starvation. To
save them from one Of the greatest calami-
ties in history, he, in company with his
Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, has
begun tour Of the allied capitals. He
says:
During the first two Austrian inva-
sions of 1914, practically the entire civil
lian population in the devasted districts,
was either massacred or carried off in
captivity in Austria.
'.'Then came the typhus epidemic, carry
ing off more than 100000. Hardly had
this been overcome, when the Germans
invaded last October. Hundreds of thou
sands more either fell before the invaders,
or fled to other countries, hoping to escape
death Our population has been dimin-
ished by at least one-ffth.' -
