IN ONE BIG COMPANY
Utah Sugar and Bear River
Water Concerns Decide to
Consolidate.

At meeting of the board of directors
of the Utah Sugar company yesterday
it was decided to absorb the Bear River
Water company, the latter being owned
by the former, and operate the two
concerns under one head. At a future
meeting, to be held within the next few
weeks. a name will be chosen for the
new company, the shareholders in the
two win be apportioned stock in the
merged proposition, and other details
connected with the consolidation will
be attended to.
The capital stock of the new COM
pany will be $4,000, 000 divided equally
INTO preferred and common stock. Utah
Sugar stockholders will receive for each
snare OF their present holdings one and
one-haf shares of preferred and one
and one-half shares of common stock
in the new company. Fractional shares
VIII not be issued. Those who would
be entitled to fractional shares will be
paid for them in cash at the rate of
$40. par value, for the preferred and
1888 1-3 for the common stock A
cumulative Z per cent dividend will be
called for by the preferred stock That
means no dividend will be paid on the
common stock in any year until the
preferred stockholders have received z
per cent on their holdings. The residue
will be used to enlarge the new COM
pany and for the payment of such
dividends upon the common stock as
the board of directors may elect. Both
stocks Will have voting rights.
The management of the new com
pany will be the same as that of the
Utah Sugar company, as follows: Jo-
seph F. Smith, president; Thomas R
Cutler. vice president and general man
ager; w. S. Mccormick, John r. Win
der, John Henry Smith, John c. Cutler
and Heber J. Grant. members of the
board, and H. G.. Whitney, secretary
and teasurer.
Inasmuch as both companies were
owned by the same interests, it is con-
tended the two can be operated con-
jointly much more economically than
separately. Since their Incorporation
the holdings. of both concerns have
greatly enhanced in value The re-
cent acquisitions of the Bear River
company in the valley of the same
name have been extensive. A new fac
tory and an electric power plant are
In course of construction in the valley.
1t is known that the canal system and
lands, which were bought about a year
and a half ago for less than $500 900,
cost the original owners close to So. 0OO,-
600. and the sales of lands and water
IISnlS, lncIuulnS the many improve
ments which the Utah Sugar company
has made in the Bear river valley, have
been profitable, greatly increasing the
company's assets.
It is not thought the consolidation
Will further advance the market value
of Utah Sugar stock which is now
quoted at $3.50 per share The stock
of the new company, it is expected,
Will stand at par, making a share
worth SIS. On the basis that a share
of common stock is worth third
its value. would make another IS,
which would be equivalent to $40 per
share FOR the present stock.

against the Oregon Short Line Rail-
road company, asking that the com
pany be restrained from constructing

tition.
The switch is to be built in order to
reach the warehouse, and both to-

Line Engine at Draper.

William Jones, a young man of Draper,
had a narrow escape from death in an
accident that occurred in Draper We'd
nesday night, in which he was struck by
a passenger train. Both legs of the
young man We're broken and he was
otherwise bruised and injured, but 1t is
stated that he has good chances for re-
cOVery.
Jones was walking along the track after
night beside a freight train that was
standing on the side track The noise of
the freight engine drowned the noise of
an Oregon Short Line passenger train that
was approaching from behind. The front
of the engine struck Jones a glancinS
blow and threw him violently against the
freight cars. Fortunately he was thrown
far enough away from the main track
to escape being run over by the passenger.
When Jones was picked up he was con-
sciOus, but ii was discovered that both
limbs had been broken below the knee
and his head was severely cut and
bruised. He was placed aboard the pas
senger and brought TO Salt Lake, where
he was taken to st. Marks hospital for
treatment. His condition last night was
reported as somewhat better, and his

MRS. FOSTER HERE.
Knows Of No Reason Why Smoot
Should Not Be Senator.


Mrs. J. Ellen Foster of Washington,
D. c.. the noted woman politician and
orator, is an ardent supporter of the
contention that religion and politics
should not be mixed as q means to
subserve the ends of either an indi-
vidual or party. She does not believe
any man should be sent to the United
States senate because of his religious
beliefs; neither should religious views
or official position in a church debar a
man from representing his state in
the upper branch of congress. There
FORE she cannot see any objection to
the election of Apostle Reed SmOot,
provided church influence were not
used to secure the election of the leg
islative ticket which will this winter
elect him.
Fresh from campaigning in Idaho for
the past month in the interests of the
Republican party, Mrs. Foster dropped
into Salt Lake City yesterday and reg
istered at the knutsfOrd hotel She
is en- route TO Denver and Cheyenne.
At Chicago she viii address the Wo-
mems club on the suffragist question,
in which movement she is great
worker. Mrs. Foster, prior to her
stumping tour of Idaho, had just re-
turned from the International Red
Cross conference held at st. Peters
burg. which was attended by repre-
sentatives from forty nations.
Mrs. Foster is we'll known throughout
Utah In 1900 she stumped the state
in the interests of the presidential
nominees. She was rendered an infor-
NAL reception at the hotel yesterday
afternoon by a number of the promi-
nent women OF the city.

SEARCH FOR A MAN.
Heir to an Estate in Holland May Be
in Utah.


The American consulate at Leige.
Belgium. has begun a rigid search for
one. Servius Rutten, who is a native
of that country but who is now thought
TO be living in Salt Lake or in Utah
The search was instituted two years
ago at the instigation of relatives, who
have sought the assistance of the
American legation in tracing the wan
derings of the man.
No reason has been learned by the
local authorities for the rigorous in
vestigations that are being made by
the governments representatives but
from the nature of the cOmmunica-
tons that have been received, it is
believed that through the death of rel
atives he has fallen heir 10 an estate
and it is the wish of other relatives
and the attorneys 10 learn his pres
ent whereabouts in order to wind up
the affairs of the estate.
Rutten was traced TO New York
where he landed soon after his de-
Darture from the land of dykes, and
gradually drifted toward the west
Reaching Nebraska, he settled in the
village of OgalalIa. There he worked
for over a year and came farther
west. When last heard from by the
friends he had made in the Nebraska
town, he was located in Salt Lake,
working as a laborer.
The American consulate has traced
him to this point, but all efforts to learn
his present whereabouts have been fu-
tile. The county clerk of the county
in which Rutten lived while in Ne
braska has written to the local au-
thorities asking their aid in finding the
man. His communication was written
at the request OF the consulate at
Leige. and all possible assistance will
be given him by the local officials
1t is believed that he has left the city
for some of the mining camps.

TO HAVE A BENEFIT.
Friends to Come to the Relief Of
Mabel Bouton.

A benefit performance in one of the
larger theatres in New York City is be-
ing considered by the friends of Miss
Mabel BoutOn, the actress, whose parents
reside in this city, to relieve her finan-
cial condition and thereby add to her
physical requirements Miss BoutOn lies
delirious in a ward of the METROPOLITAN
hospital on BlackWells island. She is
suffering from consumption, and the
drugs administered to keep her quiet pro-
duced the delirium.
The benefit was the direct result of a
Cablegram sent to a prominent Broadway
theatrical manager by Madeline Bouton.
now a real German baroness. asking him
to do anything lie could for her sister.
Prior TO the receipt of the transatlantic
message, personal and theatrical friends
of the former Salt Lake girl, had taken
I'D subscription for her. but the money
was refunded to the contributors when
il was learned that a benefit perform
ance was proposed, and that other steps
had been taken TO have the sick actress
removed from Blackwelrs island to a
private asylum, where she would receive
every possible attention.
