Win be Nearly Double that II Last Season
100000 Distributed Yesterday.
District Court Notes--J. w. Twiford
Made Manager of Salt LaAe W.
u. r. Office W Weddings.

Yesterday was payday for the en-
ployes and beet-growers Of the Ogden
Sugar factory and nearly $4,000 was
distributed In payment for the beets
delivered to the factory during the
month Of October and of employers
wages. From the opening Of the First
National bank yesterday morning until
long after closing hours the beet
growers thronged the bank and crowd
ed the hall ready to receive their check
for the beets delivered.
During the month OF October there
were delivered at the sugar factory 49,
900 tons of beets for which $4,000 was
paid and to the employees OF the factory
for the same month over $4,000 was paid
out. During the month Of September g.
700 tons OF beets were delivered at the
factory for which $4,000 was paid out,
making a total Of 25,i00 tons OF beets
received up 10 the first OF November,
for which over 100000 has been dis
bursed, s12G76S0 has been paid out to
employees during the two months, max
ing grand total of Sill $3.50 dlstrib-
uted by the Ogden Sugar factory dur
ing the two months OF September and
October of this year. The beet record
nearly equals the total number Of tons
OF beets received by the Ogden factory
during the entire run of last year, as
only $4,000 tons were ground up by the
factory during the season of 1900. from
which between FIVE and six million
pounds Of sugar was manufactured.
This year, before the factory closes
down, the management expects to run
through over 10000 tons OF beets and
manufacture over 100000 pounds of
sugar.
The beets this year, as a general
rule, are not OF as good quality as they
were last. This Is accounted for by the
fact that the heavy wind storms which
were experienced during May of this
year thinned the beets out so much that
they grew larger, but were of a poorer
quality The greater part OF the beets
used by the ogden Sugar factory art
grown In Weber county, therefore, the
greater amount OF money paid out for
the beets is paid to Weber county farm
ers and circulated In this county, which
is a great benefit to the merchants.
