keCt SuHaE
There is a strong probability that
persons at the head of the Oxnard Beet
Sugar Company, in Nebraska, will es-
tablish a plant in the Boise valley,
Idaho. Mr.. Oxnard and associates
have secured an option on the stock OF
the Ridenbaugh canal, the property
covering $4,000 acres of land owned by
the canal company. The sugar COM
pany sent an expert into that region
during the past summer, a gentleman
named Welnrich. He spent three
months in investigating various loca-
tions in Idaho, Washington, Oregon
and Northern Utah, and reported to
his principals that the Boise-Nampa
valley was better adapted to the pro-
duction of sugar beets than any other
section he visited. 1t seems likely
that the people will endeavor to colon
ize the lands owned by the canal COM
pany, as it is necessary to have great
number OF farmers growing beets in
order to assure success for a large
manufacturing plant. If the factory is
built at Nampa it will be great help
to that place, but wherever it may be
erected it viii become potential fac
tor in the future development Of the
entire valley.

 Charpentier & Co. had just moved into the building from another locali- ty. and intended opening on the very day that the fire occurred.
