SUGAR BETS AND TOMATOES
HOOPER INDUSTRIES IN !
THRIVING CONDITION.
Beet Crop Will Average Twelve Tons
Per Acre-Canning Factory Run
ming at Full Capacity.


Hooper, Sept. 19.-For about two
weeks past water has been flowing
through the Hooper canal to the or
chards and gardens that have long
been deprived of it. 1t is too late now
for the sugar beet crop to receive much
henefit from irrigation, for very soon
the work of harvesting the beets Will
be commenced. 1t is expected that to-
day representatives OF the Ogden Sugar
company will visit Hooper and sample
the beets and leave instructions when
to commence delivering.
1t has been demonstrated by several
years growing that the soil hereabouts
is good for. the raising of beets. AS
much as. 2llG tons per acre have been
produced of beets of standard quality
This year the average yield will prob
ably be about II tons per acre, which
is considered a fair crop.
The Hooper Canning company is run
ming its factory at fun capacity, and
there is an abundance of tomatoes. The
crop has been fairly good, notwith-
standing the drought, and the quality
of the product is satisfactory. 1t Will
require perhaps two weeks longer to
can this seasons crop.
The fruit crop in and around Hooper
is not cutie as good as it would have
been x there had been more water.
Pears and apples are produced here in
abundance, and with some people they
are a profitable crop. Peaches do not
do so well in this locality as on higher
ground. Many quite large orchards are
now bearing fruit and number OF
people are preparing to go extensively
into horticulture in the near future.
During the last few weeks the health
of the people has not been good. Ty
phoid fever is affecting some of the
young people Among those who are
suffering are George Stoddard, two OF
George Cottles children, and son of
Eugene Robinson. All of them are nov
in serious condition, though there are
good chances for ultimate recovery.

THE sTATELINE OUTLOOK.
Better Feeling Exists In This Prom
ising Gold Camp.


The Stateline correspondent Of the
Iron County Record says:
Since the arrival of Colonel II. l..
Pickett and NJ n. Miller, about the
9Th inst, decidedly healthier feeling
perVades the atmosphere of at least a
portion of the community. These gen.
tlemen purchased two promising prop
critics, paying cash for the Pixies Dig
gings purchase, and putting on force
of men the following day after the
transfer. The other deal was the Clark
& Troutman interest at Deer Lodge,
New. l have been unable to learn f1g-
ures in either transaction, but know
both properties to be good
A Mr.. Thompson of Mercur also sam
pied Pixies Diggings and a portion of
Stateline district, expressing himself
as highly pleased with the showings
Mr.. Thompson is no stranger here,
this being his third visit, so we infer
he has seen something attractive.
While all these deals and prospective
sales are going on, there is a project
being pushed which promises to de-
velop thoroughly the Rice Brothers
group of claims in this camp. Started
at the lowest point possible, $50 feet
of tunnel work has been completed,
with highly satisfactory results, a
three-foot vein, having been cut at
this distance. Drifting on the vein will
be pushed under the apex of the noun
tain, and it is calculated a 600-foot
tunnel will do this, giving a de9th of
600 to 500 feet. The projectors, George
A. Rice & Brothers, have the courage
and the wherewith to push the work
to completion
