Our View: Let Medford voters decide on marijuana sales ... Reopening of the Siskiyou Line means trucking companies will take a hit ... Mail Tribune, Aug. 10, 1915. The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago. Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Aug. 10, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted Aug. 10, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News Aug. 10, 1915 SUGAR FACTORY PROMISED FOR COMING YEAR Two industrial projects, vital to the future economic and agricultural prosperity of the Rogue river valley, have passed the speculative stage. They are the beet sugar factory promoted by the Western Sugar company, backed by Mormon capitalists and the Portland-Beaver Cement plant at Gold Hill. Bot propositions represent an outlay of over a million dollars. A letter received Monday by W.H. Gore, from F.S. Bramwell, given the assurance that a $600,000 factory will be built in the Rogue river valley in time to handle the 1916 crop. The Portland-Beaver Cement plant at Gold Hill has issued a call for its superintendents, foremen and employees to report for work next Monday, Aug. 16. The plant which has been in course of construction for the last 18 months, is now 85 per cent completed, and practically all of the machinery has been received and installed. The analysis of rock near Gold Hill shows one of the finest deposits of cement material in the west. Beets Test Well Tests made by the beet sugar expert of seed planted in the valley this year shows a high degree of saccharine and size and productiveness. On some land sowed to beets, the crop now is estimated at from 20 to 24 tons to the acre. The beets have not yet reached the height of their development. In the best sugar beet districts of the Rocky Mountain states the average tonnage is from 15 to 20 tons per acre. The bottom land is highly adopted for the growth of beets. Mr. Bramwell will arrive in Medford next Friday, and with the sugar interest expert, A. Storey, will spend a month inspecting local conditions, and formulating a plan of campaign. AUTOS NEEDED TO HELP PLANT TROUT FRY WEDNESDAY The state fish and game commission car "Rainbow" will arrive in Medford Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock with a car of trout fry for distribution in local streams. The car will be sidetracked at Main Street and the fry placed aboard automobiles to be taken to surrounding streams. Thirty autos are needed for the distribution. Fifteen have so far volunteered. Every angler and sportsman is asked to co-operate in the work.
