A visit to the big school on the
hill Just at this time discloses an
activity on the part of students and
faculty that is unprecedented In the
history Of the school. There is such
an air OF hustle and hustle about the
building inside and out that one can
not but feel that everything and
everyone concerned is working to-
gether for Il most successful year.
Hundreds of new students are now
enrolled, in truth, the two registra-
tion days were devoted almost ex-
clusivsly to new students, those of
last year coming later. These come
from all portions of the state, far and
near and many from Idaho and Wyom-
ing. Pres. Kerr is sanguine Of great
ly enlarged attendance this year, and
the faculty as whole Is enthusiastic
over the very promising outlook.
This year a new method Of advertis-
ing the school was placed in operation
and it Is felt that this probably has a
great deal to do with the success Of
the opening days.
While in this valley and contiguous
territory, the Agricultural College has
been rated at its true value, 1t is a
fact that its worth to the State and
the practical thorough courses offered
at the institution have been largely
an unknown quantity with the peo-
pie at large. 1t has been felt that
the institution was on small scale,
sort of annex to the University, and
hardly worthy of serious considera-
ton. Bodies of visitors who have come
to the valley in the past two or three
years have been wonderfully surprised
at the magnificence of the buildings,
their number and the perfection OF
the equipment, the extent OF the
grounds and thorough excellence OF
everything connected with the school.
However, this lack of knowledge has
been gradually replaced by definite,
accurate information, and since the

THE MECHANIC ARTS
department has grown in popularity
TO such an extent that it has been
necessary to make extensive additions
to the old buildings and provide an
enormous amount of the latest and
most improved machinery. In this
department it Is the idea TO turn out
expert tradesmen, proficient in every
detail of the course which they may
pursue. The young men of the terri
tory contiguous to the Agricultural
college, as well as from far distant
portions OF this State, Idaho and wy
oming, have begun to appreciate the
thorough, practical courses offered in
this department of the great school,
and are anxious to take the work
rather than remain Scrubs"

and not in hap-hazzard, go-as-you-
please way. He is taught to estimate
and figure properly and has the oppor-
tunity of demonstrating propositions
to himself by means of an equipment
that is unexcelled in any school of the
State. He is taught TO make articles
wherein every principle of carpenter
ing Is involved, and some of the work
of the students is as fine as any turned
out at tirst-class factories.
Yesterday morning Foreman Han
sen sho "ed us an extraordinarily large
office desk made by the students. 1t
is an exact duplicate of the one in
President. Kerr's office, and is the
equal In workmanship and appearance.
The young man not only learns to
handle fine work of this description,
but is given the knowledge that en-
ables him to build anything from
to a frame dwelling or
bridge.
The Foreman was crowded last year
but now has the room formerly occu-
pied by the Chemical laboratory and
has added dozen new work benches.
He feels that in short time every
thing will be in as good shape as can
be desired for the best results.

Is every evidence that these will be
splendidly equipped and arranged
when the work Is entirely finished.
The forge room Is having such an ad-

JAPANESE AND
INDIAN LABOR
The Utah Sugar Company viii
Use Both Classes,
WHITE LABOR VERY SCARCE
The oregon short Line Also Finds II
Necessary 10 Hire japanese Help
And Says IL IL Satisfactory.

From all indications the demand for
labor in Utah the coming season Will
be heavier than ever known before.
This fact has so impressed itself on
the management Of the Utah Sugar
company, who win have another big
plant in operation this year, that they
have already decided to go to outside
fields and bring in labor not only for
their own farms but 70 help The beet
growers in the Bear River valley. Last
year the labor of the men, women, and
children of the Blackfoot Indians at
Washakie was employed to excellent
advantage, and Mr. Cutler stated this
morning that this labor was better than
any which the company employed on
its Bear River farms, It IS, however,
limited, and in order that the farmers
may be- furnished with all the needed
help, ii has been decided to bring in
a nun Der Of japanese from Oxnard,
California, where they are employed
to excellent advantage In the beet fields.
Mr. Cutler stated today that the con-
tracts We're simply made with a COM
pany which agreed 20 give the beets
the necessary care six weeks In the
spring and six weeks IN the fan at so
much per acre This is class OF
cheap labor which Is done In thckly
populated districts like that around
IA | al. Co .ss
but as this population Is not to be
found in the Bear River valley the
farmers are forced 70 obtain their help
whore they can. The same condition
prevails in Idaho, where the popua-
ton is even sparser and where the
acreage will be much heavier II is es-
timated that from 1900 to 1000 acres
Of beets will have to he handled by
Japanese labor in that field.
The Oregon Short Line people are in
much the same dilema for labor as the
sugar company They have been car
ryng over big forces of japanese
throughout the winter to be in readl-
ness for the spring grading. The
Short Line people give them a high
character and state that their labor
has been found very satisfactory,
In Loyeland, Colo the beet fields
have been handled by Russian labor
ers and they also have done very good
work.
The estimate Of the sugar company
is that their two factories In Lehi and
In the Bear River valley will be called
on 10 handle the product from not less
than ten to twelve thousand acres OF
beets, which is 50 per cent more than
the biggest year In the history OF the
