To- The San Francisco Rural Press
of March 2Sth has tho following: Mr..
S. NJ. Waite, of Dayton, Washington
Territory, whose name has been men,
toned in connection with the establish
rnent of a beet sugarie at Dayton, left
for his home on-the 21st inst. In con-
versation with him, few days since,
he assured us that he had carefully ex-
amined into the matter of his mission
has visited and closely inspected the
beet sugaries of Sacramento and Alva-
RADIO, and the cane sugar refineries of
this city, and has come to the conclu-
| sion that the plan of establishing beet
sugarie at Dayton is perfectly feasible
one. Mr. Waite is a gentleman of large
business experience, is we'll known in
Washington Territory, in Oregon, and
in many parts of this State, and we have
no doubt that his favorable report in
this matter will insure the early erection
of the proposed works. The town of
Dayton is located in Walla Walla coun-
ty, near the extreme southeastern por-
ton of the Territory. The large cost
of freightto this extreme location-over
three cents per pound-will add large
to the profits of the manufacture over
those which can he realized in this city.
The market there is quite extensive and
rapidly increasing. Mr.. Waite will
take up quantity of beet seed with
which experiments in raising beets will
be tried in various localities the present
season. If the experiments succeed,
the factory will be put up in season to
commence operations with the incoming
of next years crop"
