BEET SUGAR
AT CULDESAC
Plans Completed for Factory to
Be Erected There at a Cost
of S500,00O
(From Wednesdays Daily


CULDESAC, Feb. 26.-Culdesac is to
have a beet sugar factory. The site
has been selected for the building. The
sufficient acreage has been contracted
and the announcement has been made
that work will start at once on the
factory.
Representatives of capital from Ore
gon have been in this section for some
time and have thoroughly tested the
soil in this vicinity and they have an
nounced that it is peculiarly adapted
to the raising of sugar beets. The av-
erage sugar content and purity is way
above the averag in test of beets
that have been grown here recently.
A five hundred ton factory will be
the factory will reach about $500, 600.
The company who is to build here
have secured a contract from many
farmers In this section who have
agreed to furnish the beets at the fac
tory at IS per ton. The company will
furnish the seed free and also have a
superintendent in the district who will
direct the cultivation of the ground so
that the farmers may learn the practi-
cal side Of growing beets from an ex-
perienced hand. This year the company
have contracted for $500 acres to be
| placed in sugar beets but it is their
intention to double the acreage next
year. Arrangements will be completed
to save the pulp from the factory which
will be used in feeding stock in this
country, the company stating that this
pulp is excellent feed for cattle and
sheep.
The factory will be built at a point
Just west of the Wright sawuul. A
sidewalk will be laid to the factory and
the sugar will be shipped directly to
the jobbers throughout the country.
The railroad company have already
graded the switch ground as far as the
Wright saw mill.
Yesterday was one of great repoicing
in this city. The engine for the new
tram between the top of the ridge on
the mountain and the Wright sawmill
was tested and proved to be great
success. The entire population of the
town was out to see the test which
means so much to the city. The mill
will be started up within the next ten
days and will give employment o
large force of men. The logs will be
sent down to the mill during next weei
after which the run will be permanent
The new tramway is five and one-hali
miles in length and is great boon u
people who live on the mountain. Th'
company will haul freight to and fro
over this tram thereby saving th'
heavy haul by wagon.

THE CITY CENSUS

Last Tuesday the census returns
were fully completed and turned in to
us by the compiler. Mr.. Balleras, who
estimated the population Of the city
by actual count 1868 people living
within the city limits. This gives
the city large increase since the
government was made. With the few
enterprising men who hive money
would and invset it in manufacturing
enterprises. erection of homes, etc.,
the city could have $1,000 people
here in five more years.
We believe the day is near at hand
when bridge will span the river in
front of Greenville, which will give
the city a western outlet and reduce
the price Of all commodities and
traffic. Let all citizens work for a
greater city.
The city's street signs and numbers
are now being manufactured and as
soon as they arrive Mr.. Crosby will
have a force of men employed to put
them up in short order. The signs
are warranted to last for twenty
years.
