ANOTHER SUGAR FACTORY.
Union Power Company Supposed to
Be Behind the Underta king.

Last night in Plain City meeting of
citizens was held to consider "a propo-
sition which has in view the construc-
ton of a sugar factory at that place
The meeting was called by the COM
mittee which was appointed some
weeks ago for the purpose of negotiat-
ing with the Ogden Sugar company for
the location of its factory in Plain City
At that time the Plain City people Of
fered the company 800 acres of land
with water rights, and offered fur
thermore, to grade a railroad track and
give the right of way from Ogden to
the factory. This proposition was not
accepted, but the offer came to the
notice of other parties, and they asked
if the same offer would be open to
them. The meeting last night was called
to discuss this proposition. The mem
bers of the committee would not di-
vulge the names of those making the
application, but they said it was
genuine proposition by responsible par
ties, who would agree to build a sugar
factory next year which would have a
capacity of working from 1000 to 5000
acres of beets each season. The general
suppOsition is that the Pioneer Electric
Power company or the Union Light &
Power company, as ii is now called is
behind the movement. This company
owns $4,000 acres of land in that vicin-
lily, ana the location OF the factory
there would greatly enhance the value
of their land The meeting was held
in the school house, which was crowd
ed. The matter was fully discussed,
and a committee was appointed charged
to ascertain the cost of grading right
of way to Ogden and another to the
Hot Springs. Christian Olsen was
chairman of the meeting.
OGDEN SUGAR COMPANY SITE.
The committee in charge of the Sc
lection of a site for the factory of the
Ogden Sugar company went to Wilson
last night to meet with the stockhold-
ers of the old Wilson Irrigation COM
pany and secure concessions regarding
water rights conditional on the factory
being located at Wilson. The business
was arranged satisfactorily. The con-
cessiOns asked for were given, and this
completes the arrangements as regards
water rights. The price of the land
has already been practically agreed
upon, but there are some difficulties
in the way of securing a clear title
to all of the land. and consequently it
is not yet definitely settled where the
factory will be, but a member of the
committee stated last night that in all
probability It would be at Wilson.

BLIZZARD IN SOUTHERN UTAH
MOST SEVERE STORM IN THE
STATES HISTORY.
Blew a Hurricane and Did Great
Damage to Wires-Great Loss of
Live Stock Feared.

Beaver, Feb. 10-The blizzard and
snow storm all Monday night and Tues
day was the most severe ever witnessed
here. The telegraph poles in Beaver,
Willard and IRON counties were thrown
dow n a dozen places, and the line
broken in several instances. A foot of
new STOW feA in the Parowan valley,
and tha same would have fallen here,
had it not been for the force of the
ysird from the north, which was hur-
ricane for hours. Milford yesterday
had two feet of snow and mud. In
Wildcat canyon yesterday, empty tie ms
returning from De Lamar TO SanpeJe
had To shovel through snow three to
five feet deep. Minersville and valley
have been unusually saturated this
winter.
While no reports have come in from
the extensive sheep herds in the west
part of this county, Snake valley and
the horse range, for the past two
weeks, the loss must be great.
