MORE PAVING ORDERED
Action of st. Clouds Council-Stephens
Balks on Salaries.

ST. CLOUD, MINN.--At the meeting of the
city council last night order was passed for
the paving of st. German and other streets in
the business section.
Alderman Stephens created somewhat of a
sensation by stating he would bring action
to compel aldermen who have been receiving sal
airy for committee work to refund the money to
the city. The city charter prohibits the accept
ance of any salary by members Of the council and
Alderman Stephens ire was excited by the
fact that the salary committee reported in favor

By this time the walls of the main
plant we're at white heat, and giving
away at the bottom, they crumbled and
fell like a block house. All of the walls
fell, one after another, and long before
the fire was at the smoulderlng stage,
the building was RACED to the level OF
the surrounding ground. With all the
timbers consumed, the flames attacked
the sugar stored in the basement. The
product will furnish fuel for the fire
for several days to come.
The fire is thought to have started
from a small gas blaze in the chemical
laboratory. D. W. Rocking, the
chemist, went to lunch leaving the
laboratory apparently safe. When he
returned he saw small blaze creeping
slowly up the rafters and thinking it of
little Importance he dashed a pail OF
water on it hoping to extinguish it.
and in moment the entire factory
force turned their attention to saving
the plant and their positions ,,~ 80
Can't Run This Year. : ).
The loss on the plant and contents
was total, or 100000. The company
has contracts amounting to $25O,OOO
with beet growers for their 1905 out
put. The Insurance was $3.50, 800, gen
house No. l. The total investment of
the company, including land, money,
ETC., was $515,OOO. Last year 100000
pounds Of sugar were produced. Three
hundred men were employed.
. The company will not rebuild the
plant for this years grinding. and it
cannot be determined,, until the annual
future steps toward perpetuation of the
factory at St. Louis Park will be taken.
The management has put $4,000 into
| educating farmers to grow beets and
| gaining their good will. This asset, is
! too valuable to throw away, and I'M
doubleday will have strong influence
on the question Of re-establlshlng the
industry. j.. ...r.% ~ -
An effort is being made today to
make some arrangement for handling
this wears crop of beets in other fac
tories. Already representatives OF
other plants are on hand to make pro
posals for part or all of the Minnesota
company's beets for 1905.
Good hard work was done by the
officers following the fire yesterday, ana
Secretary Fred H. Wendell said that
at II am. today probably SO per cent
of their beet growers knew of the fire
! and what the company was trying tt
. do. He said that probably a great lo'
of the beets would be grown under thu
company's contracts; he hoped So, a
least, owing to the time and money tina
had been expended on the field: Th
) company has had the remarkable rec
{ ord of having enough beets each year

entire capacity of the plant. This re

TO SUGAR BEET GROWERS

The Minnesota Sugar company's
officers advise beet growers to
grow beets this year as usual. In
aslnuch as representatives Of other
factories are already on hand to
find out where and how many beets
are to be grown this year under
the Minnesota company's contracts,
they promise a good market for the
product. The company considers
the field to valuable to abandon
any part Of it, owing to the heavy
expenditure it has been under to
educate the beet growers to see the
value of raising this particular
product.
