the district court on charge Of murder
and acquitted Last winter Mrs. Juan

The first beet sugar plant of its kind
to be built In the United States was
successfully started up at Springville,
Utah. on the 9th. 1t Ia n branch of
the Utah sugar factory, located at Lehi,
and the novel feature of the enterprise
is the fact that 1t produces Juice only,
and this is conveyed by pipe line to the
main plant, twenty-five miles distant,
where 1t Is converted into sugar. The
plant has a capacity Of $50 tons of
beets per day and has stock of $500
tons to start on. There is a fall of 100
feet In the pipe line and 1t is proposed
to place turbine wheel at the Lehi
end and use the beet Juice for power
purposes. The experiment Is watched
with Interest by sugar beet manufac-
turers elsewhere.
