Monday Is the day of the annual

conduct Of the public schools Is about
as important matter as the average
citizen has to interest himself in, in
public way, yet practically none of
the citizens Of the district take in

staying at home. but later doing the

HEAD OF SUGAR COMPANY
TALKS.

TALKS.
"You have most wonderful coun-
try here in the Rogue valley" was
the way T. r. Cutler. manager Of the
Utah-Idaho Sugar company. with its
1e great factories, expressed his i'm
preston Of the district after return
ing from a trip through portions tri-
butsry to Grants Pass.
When ! first came into the valley
from the north saw hills and noun
tains. and I wondered IL sugar beets
would have to grow on forest trees.
But now / know that you can grow
very fne beets ON the valley lands.
and then you have the lime and the
wood and the water and all the other
needed things right at hand"
Mr.. Cutler had returned from a
trip up the Applegate and Williams
valleys to the lime deposit near Will
liams. He was most pleased with the
quality of the lime stone seen, great
quantities Of which must be used in
the factory in the refining of the
sugar. Asked regarding the crops Of
beets that he had seen during the
day. Mr.. Cutler said that they were
most satisfactory in growth. Some
OF the farms were not yet in the best
OF condition for beet farming, he
said, and in others the farmers had
not used due care In getting the
rows straight. and so would find diff
Guilty in cultivating and irrigating.
He expressed satisfaction. however.
at the general appearance of the
fields which he had seen in view Of
the fact that 1t was the first season
OF beet farming in southern Oregon.
Shown samples Of beets from the
fields Of Bert Clute on the Applegate.
Mr.. Cutler pronounced them as per-
feet in form, and much more ad-
vanced in growth than any in the
Utah or Idaho beet districts. He said
that the length of root which the
beets here were attaining was re-
markable, and the form could not be
improved upon. One Of the beets
from the Clute field measured 20
inches from top of leaf to tip of root
The progress of work upon the
factory was satisfactory, said Mr..
Cutler, who assured the Courier that
the institution would be ready to
commence making sugar as soon as
the beets we're ready to harvest.
The visitor was much interested in
the story Of Grants Pass efforts to
solve the freight rate handicap, and
he commended the enterprise and the
spirit that prompted the voting Of
bonds for the building OF a railroad
to the coast. He said he expected
that for the first year or two in
the life Of the sugar factory the local
demands would use most OF the pro-
duct, but after that the question OF
rates would be material one, and
an outlet to the sea was of much i'm
portance.
Il find great similarity in your
country here and in the cantons OF
Switzerland" remarked Mr.. Cutler.
in referring to the fertile wales that
reached back everywhere into the
hills and mountains. He predicted
that some day when agriculture was
older here he would see the fertile
acres farmed as intensively as we're
the farms Of Switzerland, and that
what we now classed as our waste
places would be put to some good use.

CANDIDATE ADMITS
HE HASN'T A CHANCE

ATLANTA, Oct 16.-The distinc-
ton of being the only candidate in
the history of Georgia politics who
ever admitted at the outset that he
didn't have a chance to be elected is
enjoyed by Roscoe Pickett. former
state senator from the Forty-first
district. who has announced himself
a candidate for governor on the Re-
publican ticket.
Mr. Pickett frankly admits that he
is not running with any idea of being
elected. but simply for the purpose
of forming the nucleus Of an oppo-
sition political party in Georgia.
He will be recalled as the senator
who had a controversy with Thomas
g. Fielder, the Atlanta lawyer and
prohibition advocate. during the fight
n the Legislature over the Savannah
recall bill. Senator Pickett de-
nounced Mr.. Fielder in speech on
the floor of the senate and Mr..
Fielder wrote him a note in which he
called the senator a liar and another
name and invited him to come out of
the senate chamber and resent the
insult. On the evening of that day,
Fielder was stabbed in the Kimball
House by G. K Vason. doorkeeper
of the House of Representatives.

will decide to attend
Some will go by train and others

From all ind :cations yesterday, Sa-

from Brunswick, on the special train
leaving at seven o'clock for Reids-
vile, and it is quite certain that Sa-

the memorable day of the fair in the
minds of the people of the Tattnall
county section cf Georgia.
The special train leaves the Geor-
gia Coast and Piedmont railroad de-
pot at 7 o'clock this morning, and
will not be held for those who are
late. Instructions have been issued
to the dispatcher and conductor to
fget the special out right on the stroke

are going to be on time-and a little

bnying their tickets at the station
Plenty of coaches will be ready,
and there will be no overcrowding.
The return trip will start right on
the minute, and the train will roll in
to Brunswick promptly at $50 p. M.
There will be no delays en- route,
either going or coming, thus giving
all possible time for the enjoyment
of the fair itself.
