Carlton Voluntarily Advance
Price $3.50 Per Ton For
Grand Valley Section
Big HELP TO GROWERS

Grand Junction, Sept. 10.-The price
of sugar beets has been advanced by
the Holly Sugar corporation from $3.50
to $1,000 per ton, which will mean
much to the beet growers of the entire
Grand Valley section.
F. G. Holmes,
Grand Junction.
Dear Sir:
In accordance with promise made to
growers last spring, you are requested
to advise that beets will be paid for
this fall on basis of $40 a ton, as the
food administration has today fixed
the price on sugar. Yours truly,
A. E. CARLTON.
The above message, received this
morning by Fred G. Holmes, manager
of the local sugar factory, which is
owned by Mr.. Carlton and his associ-
ates, means that the beet growers of
the western slope territory will this
year receive about 100000 over and
above the contracted price for their
sugar beets, as it is roughly estimated
that 10000 tons of beets will be grown
for the local factory and all had been
contracted for at the 'flat rate of
$3.50 per ton. When the contracts
were made, however, last spring, Mr.
Carlton had authorized the announce
ment that while the contracted price
was but $3.50, an increase over this
amount would be paid voluntarily if
the government raised the price Of su-
gar, and it is in fulfillment of this
promise that the increase of $3.50 ls
now given. The news of this increase
will be welcomed by the many growers
over all of the western slope territory
which supplies beets to the local fac
tory as it means handsome increase
for each of them in the season s re-
turns.
In 1916 the Holly Sugar company
contracted with growers for the grow
ing of beets at $3.50 per ton, but at
the end of the season paid Sc instead,
an increase over and above the CON
tracted price of 80 cents per ton.
In the 1917 contracts the company
guaranteed the growers So per ton for
their beets, with sliding scale de-
pendent upon the sugar content of the
beets. At the close of the season the
growers were given a flat price of 81,
which had been set as the maximum
mark and which meant handsome in
crease for all of the growers over what
they had expected to receive.
Last spring when the work of secur-
ing contracts for the growing of beets
was started, Mr.. Carlton announced a
raise to the $3.50 mark for the beets
on account of the increased expense ip-
CURED by the grower in the production
of this crop. This increase was given
before the government started move
ment for increased prices in order to
stimulate the production of sugar beets
and Mr.. Carlton, in carrying out the
wishes of the federal food administra-
tion in their efforts to secure the
planting of larger acreage, announced
that should the government fix the
price of sugar at figure which would
make a further increase possible, it
would be given the growers. The in
crease of $50, announced today, comes
as the fulfillment of this promise to
the growers.
Having confidence that the promises
of Mr.. Carlton would be made good,
the growers over the western slope this
year planted an increased acreage, and
they will now reap the reward from it.

SHOUP AND lyman
FOR GOVERNOR
Phipps Runs Away From Wa
terman for Senator. Some
Surprises at Home
REPUBLICANS PLEASED

Political elections always contain
more or less surprises and the primary
election contest of last Tuesday was
no exception to this rule.
Perhaps the greatest surprise came
to the friends of Governor Gunter whs
firmly believed that his party would
vindicate his record and O. K. his ad-
ministration, as a matter of good poll
tics if for no other reason. But in
this they were sorely disappointed, for
the counting had not proceeded far
until it was evident that Warden Ty-
nan was probably winner of the guber-
ntorial prize, and subsequent events
proved this to be only too true.
With the Republicans there was little
in the returns to cause surprise as
there was not much choice between the
contesting candidates for U. s. senator
and governor. Mr.. Phipps and Mr..
Shoup have made such splendid cam
paigns and both are such high class
men that even the ardent friends OF
Waterman and Ballreich were not
much surprised or disappointed at ths
result.
In this county some surprise was ex-
pressed at the victory Of Fravert over
Thompson for sheriff and more sur
prising still was the majority of more
than a hundred which Frost scored ovcr
Hubbard for county clerk and recorder.
The cry of "Too Much Hubbard" and
a few other criticisms made it seem
probable at the close Of the Glenwood
count that Hubbard had been defeated,
and later reports confirmed this sus-
picion.
The Republican friends of Logan,
Ralston and Mccoy, aspirants for
county clerk, sheriff and commissioner,
respectively, were not greatly surprised
by their defeat by Thorson, Malaby
and Grace. In some cases the losers
had perhaps been a little too confident
and had Stacked up too much on their
pre- election campaigning.
Mr.. Phipps and Mr.. Shoup easily
carried the county over their opponents
On the county Republican ticket the
contestants received the following
votes:
Clerk and Recorder
Harry r. Logan ................29 .29S
County Sheriff
Amos p. RalstOn ............... s.26o
County Commissioner
John +. Mccoy ..................34 ..344
The Post was not able to secure the
vote given to ). l.. Herwick for sheriff,
but there is suspicion that it was
enough to have changed the result if
Herwick had not entered the field.
In the Democratic contest the fig
ures thus far obtainable are as follows:
ro, cou.r,or -
Julius C.. Gunter ...............3S 1897
Thomas j. lyman $50
County Clerk
Carleton l.. Hubbard ............ .43s
| Walter j. Frost ............5 .5C3
County Sheriff
Charles w. Fravert .52s
Samuel T.. Thompson .............4 .43S
County Clerk Hubbard states that
the official count will be made next
Monday and the Post expects to give
the complete tabulated vote by pre-
cincts in next weeks issue.

NEWS FROM OFFICE OF
WASCO COUNTY AGENT

II | were to write the underlying
principles of all crop production in
Wasco county, would make 1t in two
words, save moisture.
Whether you are truck gardener, a
fruit grower, or wheat rancher the
same big principle is involved.
There is 'mossback" idea which
few people still cling to that they
should let the weeds get well-grown
before plowing. Last year we saw
several orchards nearly ruined by de.
laying plowing or cultivation until the
weeds were eight inches high. As
result, many of the trees died from
drouth. AS soon as the ground is in
good condition to work it should be
worked, if not plowed then disked,
spring -toothed or some form of culti-
walton. For Wasco county farmers
and gardeners there is no more vital
motto to preach and to practice than
save your moisture for tomorrow.
Rainfall of the season to date ac.
cording to The Dalles Chamber Of
Commerce figures is the following
l9l7-September, .37 inches; Octo.
Der. %; November, 2.53; December,
4.99; l9l8-January, 2.42; February,

Should Provide Facilities.

Pointing out that livestock and meat
is simply freight, Colver said the rail-
roads should provide stockyards, stor-
age and refrigerator car facilities,
which would be open to all, just as fa-
cilities are provided for other kinds of
freight.
This, Colver believes, would remove
one Of the greatest evils of the packing
industry.
The Big Five packers, Colver
charged, combine for purchasing live
stock and then apportion the number
for each one.
Largo financial interests are closely
allied with the packers, Colver said,
and give them undue advantage.

Rates WILL
POSSIBLY BE REDUCED
No Decision As To McAdoo' S
Successor As Director
General.

Washington, Dec. 19s-Reduetion of
freight rates within the next twelve
months was declared probable today by
Director General McAdoo, if the five
year period of control of the national
railroads is approved by congress.
McAdoo said the present standard of
wages could be maintained without ser-
ious trouble "because the government
should furnish transportation at cost
and the volume of traffice would pro
duee sufficient revenue if all elements
cooperate"
He added that the whole problem had
been worked out to decision ION ex-
perience rather than theory"
Much has been printed editorially to
the effect that the question of govern
ment operation on private control was
building a campaign issue, McAdaa
said.
Can't Get Fair Test.
"'We can't get fair test of govern.
ment operation when the case comes up
in presidential campaign" MeAdoo
continued. "There is not man in con-
gress but who thinks of what impress
sion will be made back home regardless
Of which party he may be affiliated
with. No government test ought to
take place in the heat of a presidential
campaign. That is one of the reasons
why advocated a five year plan in
trying out operation by the federal
government. Therefore we ought to
settle down to a thorough demonstra-
tion and make the decision on expe--
ence rather than theory
McAdoo said today that there had
been no decision as to his successor as
director general.
He announced that the service has
been improved rapidly by the adding OF
trains to the service on practically ev.
cry trunk line. This, he said, was pos.
sible through the relief from heavy war
materials movements brought about by
the signing Of the armistice.
The director general also announced
the signing of a contract with the Buf.
falo, Rochester and Pittsburgh railroad.
An annual guarantee of $3,276,410 is
provided by the formal agreement.
