The Work Of Construction Began.


Fully rs early as promised tho Amer.
lean Bee, Sugar Co. has commenced work
on the si.0o1.ooo factory al Rocky Ford.
Some days since tho cnTinccr- surveyed
III. ground aud drove tho stakes for the
various buildings anil tho ~ork OF exca.
vs,iou began yesterday. The force OF
cxcAyaiors will be largely increased as
soon Hs tho weather becomes milicr.
Among the now buildings which will
bc pushed a, once. will DO tina, for the
residence Of tho officers. II will be Of
brick. two stories aud a basement. 4,
will contain nineteen rooms and be n
very handsome building.
Work Will also be at once commenced
on the enginecrs' cottage. smaller but
very tasty building.
The exact location OF tho various
buildings being fixed the sugar company
was in shape for the Santa fc to begin
the construction Of tho switch from the
main line to the factory grounds. The
railways force Of workmcn began tho
construction Of the switch yesterday. and
as but little gradin. is necessary the job
will bc completed IN very short time.
The Oxnard Construction Co. has rc.
Gently completed large sugar factory at
Amcs. Ncb. Their workmcn from there
are now arriving here daily. ready TO take
up tho work Of building the immense
iron and steel structures necessary for
the manufacture Of Rocky Ford sugar.
The site Of the factory is being en-
closed with a seven.foot ten.wirc barbe,i
fence. Entrance to the grounds will be
at the point nearest town.
IL any OF our readers have had any
doubts about tho construction OF tho
factory ON the site originally selected
they may now dismiss their fears. There
has not been for two months any ques-
tim MS to the location. bat a few people
have been entertaining some doubts
pending tho commencement OF actual
work.
Those OF our citizens who have been
delaying the construction Of buildings
until the sugar factory was actually un-
der way can now start the masons and
carpetcrs. Go ahead and build houses
as fast as possible-there is little danger
OF having too many houses in Rocky Ford
during the next year.
