FIRST SUGAR FROM ROGUE RIVER VALLEY BEETS IS SACKED Sugar made in Grants Pass is now in the sack and ready for the market. This morning the first of the product of the Rogue beet came from the machines, and now sacks of sugar are being stored in the great wareroom ready for shipment to the markets of the northwest. The sugar is said to be perfect in quality, and from now on the factory is expected to continue without interruption in the manufacture till the beets of the season's crop are all in the sack and the pulp silo. The factory will not be running up to capacity for some days yet, however, as the men must become thoroughly accustomed to the handling of the various machines placed under their control. The great mill is running smoothly and is no doubt a perfect product of the builders' art. Beets are coming in rapidly now from the surrounding country, eight carloads arriving Thursday and another seven carloads today. From the fields in the immediate vicinity of Grants Pass the beets are hauled by wagon and truck and loads are constantly passing through the streets headed for the bins at the factory. PARENT-TEACHERS ENDORSE MISS JEFFREY The Parent-Teacher Circle of the Jackson school recommend to the voters of the county Miss Anna Jeffrey, candidate for county school superintendent. Miss Jeffrey taught in the Jackson school three terms and the patrons feel that she is well-fitted for the higher office. Miss Jeffrey would understand the problems that confront the young girl teacher in the rural districts as her experience has extended over a period of 22 years of teaching. And most of the time in the rural districts of Jackson county. Those who known her best can safely say that the office cannot be placed in safer, saner, or more pure hands than those of Miss Anna Jeffrey.
