THE LEHI BEET SUGAR FACTORY.

In a conversation with W. H.McDonald, who. has just returnedfrom a trig --qfinspection to theLehi, Utah, "sugar factory our re-

porter elicited the following as theresult of his tour. The factory atpresent is not in operation, havingcompleted its run for the year. Incompany with JDavid and C. L. Pat-terson, Mr. "McDonald was shownentirely through the plant, and itsworkings explained. .It has a ca-

pacity of 350 tons daily, and wasput in by a California company whobuilds and furnishes machinery forsugar factories, and will guaranteeto furnish men who will success-fully and protably operate them;provided, of course, if sufficientbeets are afforded them. The Lehipeople would not recommend NorthPlatte to build a smaller factorythan they have; and only wishtheir's had.a greater capacity. Themanager there states that he hasthe finest beet sugar plant of itssize in the world, and he claims tohave seen all of them. The ma-

chinery is said to be much simplerthan the Gerinanjnanufacture used-b- y

the Oxnards, and is said to doits work more " economically andsatisfactorily. ' v

The beet growers there are wellsatisfied with the price of $4 perton for their product, and are nowsaid to have their lands in excel-

lent shape for the growing of beets.Although they appear to have somenatural advantages, yet to a greatextent the same conditions appearto obtain in this vicinity.

Another point that seemed to benecessary was that the companyoperating the plant must have agood working capital, outside thecost of its plant, "or the sugar trustwould fasten its tentacles upon theconcern. In evidence of this theabove octopus,had a couple of rep-

resentatives who visited the factorythe day Messrs. McDonald andPatterson left. It is thought thereason of the former's isit was be-cau- se

the Lehi factory had 1,500,-00- 0

- pouncf. , fpsugar - ready toput upon the market, which it washolding for a satisfactory price.

So far as the condition of theagricultural class out in that coun-

try, it is said the beet growers ofthat locality are like the ditchfarmers of Lincoln county theyare the only ones who have odddollars in their pockets to clink oneagainst the other. They are wellsatisfied with their efforts to ob-

tain a beet sugar factory, and arewell satisfied with its workings;their only regret being that it isnot a larger concern. Now thematter is before North Platte peo-

ple, will they seize their opportu-nity and secure a profitable enter-prise?

Mr. McDonald reports the NorthPlatte contingent out in Mormon-do- m

Mallard, Loftus.Hutchins, etal, as all being vigorous and wellsatisfied with thir condition, asthe- - all are profitably engaged;although fo"one-ou- t of employmentit requires about the same effort toprocure a situation that it does inNebraska.

A prominent official in the Ag-ricultural department at Washington writes a friend in this city asfollows in regard to the phenomenalforage plant: "As to that weedcalled 'sacaline,' of which you inquire.

Then Ihave seen in the Australian papersthat it is entirely over-rate- d, andby some of the writers on the subject considered altogether, worthless. - The sacaline is aplant of much the same character-istics as the Russian thistle, so faras I have been able to discover fmmthe newspaper articles which I haveseen regardin t5
