NEW SUGAR FACTORY.
Bright Prospects in the Bear Lake
Valley, Ida.
Especial 10 The HeraIdD

Especial TO The Herald.l
Montpelier. Ida, July 1.-The chances
for new sugar factory in Bear Lake val
ley are growing brighter every day, in
fact so far as the farmers end of the
proposition is concerned it is assured.
They were asked to guarantee not less
than 4,e00 acres of sugar beets. and TO
date that amount has been practically
contracted for, with the chances of the
acreage being increased to six or moro
thousands of acres Meetings have been
held throughout the valley. nd the whole
subject has been thoroughly canvaSsed
by the people, and the general sentiment
is that this section can easily produce the
necessary amount of beets required to
keep factory of large capacity going
during the sugar making season
1t is understood that Utah people are
behind the scheme to put up the factory
and the farmers have sgnIfied their
willingness to do their part. Bear Lake
expects to see a factory located and doing
business in this section before 1896 has
passed into history.
During recent years many tests have
been made in growing sugar beets here
and these tests have been -.ighiy success
ful, beets having been grown that run eX-
traordinarily high in saccharine matter
The bench lands Of this valley are eSpe-
cially adapted to the production of these
sugar-nnaking products. and before many
years, if a factory can be secured. all
these lands will be given up to the pro
duction of beets.

United States District Attorney
Heney began his closing address to the
jury upon the reconvening of the court
this afternoon. He had not concluded
court until Monday.
Heney's Telling Reply.
Mr.. Heney in his argument made
telllng answers to the questions asked
the prosecution by Senator Thurston
as TO why the government had not in
dlcted Fred A. Kribs for land grabbing
or Senator Mitchell for subornation
or perjury in having Influenced Tanner
and his son in the testimony given be-
fore the grand jury. The speaker
called attention to the facts set out by
the dates of the lists of claims given
IN the Indictment as showing that all
OF the krfbs land frauds were outside
the statute of limitations, for which
reason Kribs could not have been
reached by prosecution. He had made
no offers of indemnity to Kribs because
ne could not prosecute him and if the
witness had known that he could not
be reached by the law. perhaps the
government would have been unable TO
secure any of the checks or evidence
which it had gained.
1t is now considered a certainty that

BONDS CANNOT BE ISSUED.
Especial to The Herald.)

Boise Ida, July 1.-The supreme
court today. decided the case brought
to determine the legality of a proposed
issue of $4,000 of bonds for school of
science building at the university The
decision is against the bonds. In the
act of the legislature providing for the
bonds il was provided that fund
should be created from interest arising
from the investment of university funds
with which to retire the bonds. II is
held this would be violation of the
provision of the act of congress grant
ing lands for the maintenance of such
institutions. The funds derived from
the sale of the lands cannot be used
with which to pay bonds. but must be
permanently invested. the income of
the funds so invested being used solely
for maintenance
