from IS. 900 tons of beets. Last year
the company ground up about 49, 09
tons. 10000 tons less than this year.
The farmers who supplied these beets

The refinery at Lehi and the cutting
stations at Bingham Junction. Provo

about 5000 acres Of land devoted ex-
clusively to sugar beet raising. The
company hopes to increase that area in
1903 to about 10000 acres. The cutting

What were the biggest games

San Francisco in the early '70s, when
the Comstock mines at Virginia city

Inasmuch as the stock of the water
company was owned by the sugar com

a business point of view, TO perfect a
merger. The consolidation makes the
Utah Sugar company the wealthiest
concern of its kind in the state.
About a year and a half ago the

company, including its reservoir sites
and canals, for $500. 900. At that time

in the operation of the refinery and

TN more ways than one this has been
a banner year for the Utah Sugar
company The refinery az Lehi will
have produced about 100000 more
pounds of sugar than it did in 1901.
The beet consumption for 1902 will ex-
coed that of 1901 by about 10000 tons.
The farmers who furnished the beets
received about $4,000 more this year
than they did last year. The increased
production of the company necessi-
tated the longest run in the history of
the Lehi refinery. It began refining
sugar the middle of September. ten
days earlier than in 1901, and viii not
make its final sack of sugar until
about Jan. /, sixteen days later than
in 1901
But the most important chaper in the
1902 history OF the sugar company was
its absorption of the Bear River Water
company which was perfected at a
meeting of the joint stockholders in this
city on Saturday, Dec. b. Less than
an hour after the adjournment of the
meeting the articles of Incorporation
of the new company were on file in the
Office of Secretary of State Hammond.
The rev concern is known as the
Utah Sugar company, with an author
ICED capital stock of S6,000000, equally
divided between preferred and common
stock. Dividends of per cent per an
mum are to be paid on the preferred
stock, beginning at once. Any sur
plus. after the preferred stockholders
have been satisfied, will be applied to
dividends on the common stock. The
stockholders will meet once a year,

Good Year For Amalgamated.
From every point of view the beet
sugar making of the Ogden factory, as
well as that of the Logan and the La
Grande, Ore, factories, now parts of
the same system, has been most sue
cessful in. the year 1902. Up to Dec. 81
of this year the three factories will
have produced about %. 900. 900 pounds
of sugar. OF this the Ogden factory
produces about 9 600 600 the Logan fac
factory about 100000 pounds. These
three factories comprise the uanufac-
lures of the Amalgamated Sugar COM
pany. which absorbed the three early
last summer.
In Weber county and the counties
bordering thereon, about 1000 farmers
raised sugar beets and planted about
Ogden factory only. For the Logan
factory 1,200 farmers planted about
5000 acres. but the acreage cultivated
by the farmers for the Weber county
factory produced 4, 500 tons, as against
81 900 for the Logan factory. One
great factor in this was the greater ex-
perience of the Weber farmers in beet
raising. The Logan beets. however,
were about ! per cent higher grade as

consumed about 81, $50 600 worth of
eggs and poultry during 1902. In
value the consumption was about
equally divided. The aggregate is
about the same as that of last year
In 1901 there was a greater quantity
of eggs and poultry eaten than this
year, but there has been in 1902 a big
advance in prices, which accounts for
the product this year being worth
about as much as in 1901. Had the To-
cal produce houses been able to sup
ply the demand made upon them at
various times for certain grades of
eggs and the different kinds of poultry.
the consumption this year would have
been much greater tran last, and the
value of the same would have shown
a decided increase.
Poultry was especially scarce this
year. Heretofore the commission men

which distinguish it from other rene.
dies OF this class. Pain Balm is es-
pecially beneficial for rheumatism
thousands Of cases can be cited in
which this remedy has effected q cure
when the sufferer had previously tried

Pain Balm heals bruises burns and
