Syracuse, Feb. PA number OF the
public-spirited citizens of this place

urer The articles of Incorporation
have not yet been drawn up, the de-
tails OF the organization not having
been arranged, but sufficient stock has
already been subscribed to justify the
company in going ahead with the en-
terprise. 1t is the intention to make
the company truly a cooperative con-
Germ, and the plan proposed is to limit
the stock each individual can hold to
two shares, which viii be valued at
500 each. The officers named above
have each subscribed the stipulated
amount, as have also Gilbert Parker,
Thomas Ross, David Cook, Joseph Bod

TO PAcIFY HEBER.

Western and A. ]. Gregory of the Den

last night and took the stage to Heber
today. with the object, it is thought,
of attempting to mitigate the wrath
of the Heberites. created by the recent
change in the time of the Rio Grande
Western between Park City and Salt
Lake.
The change of time cut the Heber
people out Of their morning papers and
otherwise disconnected the folks there
II makes it awkward for them to visit
the city and get home as they used
to do, and they have been boycotting
the Western and using the Union Pa
cific since that time. just to show their
disapproval of the plan. The Western
has lost a great deal of business be-
cause of this action, and will lose more,
and it is believed the gentlemen are
armed with proposals of peace in the
shape of a promise to change the
schedule to the old system once more.

SUGAR BEET CROP.
Farmers of Syracuse Do Not Like the
Contracts.

Contracts.
Syracuse, Utah, Feb. 22.-The farmers
of Syracuse have not as yet taken hold
of the matter of raising beets for the
Ogden sugar factory with any degree
of enthusiasm. There is in fact, de-
cided objection to certain provisions of
the contracts which are entered into
between the growers and the company,
and it is freely asserted by the farmers
that the company has all the best OF
the bargain To this fact is attributed
the very meagre acreage in Syracuse
and vicinity One prominent asrlcui-
turalist, in speaking of the matter to-
day, said that the most Objectionable
clause in the contract was the one De
claring that on ali beets delivered after
Nov. 80 the sugar company may deduct
so cents q ton from the regular price
He stated that it sometimes happens
that the product cannot be delivered
until December, and a deduction of 90
cents ton would make beet-ralslnS an
Improbable industry, particularly Nnen
it is considered that the ogden factory
price is % cents less than that paid by
the 31ehi company.
This section of the country Is partlc-
ularly adapted for the beet industry,
and it is to be hoped that the people
will take hold of the matter in earnest
waving any little differences that may
arise, and unitedly work for the deyel-
opmeat of the resources OF the 10
cality.
1t is said that in Hooper, aafew miles
north of here, a very large acreage is
being contracted for. As nearly as
could be lsarned today. Syracuse people
will raise about 100 acres of beets. The
price per ton on cars here will be SS.75.
