They have written approximately in

increase of about 100000 over the year
1903. Their losses for this year are
considerably less than they were last
year, as they have had no severe fire

purity and excellence Of the Utah
product was paid by the ST Louis ex-
position, which awarded the Inland

The growth of the industry shown
by these figures is a matter OF pride
for all the people of Utah. even il the
control has passed out of the hands of
local people The fact that the manu-
facture Of beet sugar has proven such
a success in the irrigated district is

ton of the farmers in that county and
Sewer county just to the south. The
plan is TO put plant i'm TO cost $3.50, 900.
The capital is to be furnished by east
ern parties, and the farmers on their
part are TO Obligate themselves to raise
series Of five years. For these beets
the farmers are to get 81 % per ton,
where the percentage of sugar runs
from u to 10, and 81. 80 per ton where
the percentage is over 10. Better ac-
cOmmOdatiOnS are to be supplied in the
matter for getting the beets 10 the fac
tory.
There was also much talk during the
year of other factories in Wyoming
Idaho and Utah. but nothing definite
was done in any of these movements
But all these movements indicate that
the interest in the industry is on the
increase, and there seems to be an
abundance Of capital ready to embark

already been graded and the work of

frost is out of the ground. After five
years of la Dor, argument, special cOun-
ell meetings and suggestions from the
Commercial club, city engineer, board
OF public works and almost every resi-
dent of the street, most of them with
different plans for paving the avenue,
the council a few months ago agreed on
scheme fors grading and paving, and
the work has been already commenced.
There were proposals to build a retain
ing wall in the middle and maintain
practically two streets. the same as in
the past, plans to make a steep grade
in the center of the street and to park
this portion: plans to remove the street
car tracks from the avenue because
they mar its beauty. But the schemes
were all cast aside and the city
engineer and the board of public works.
after long wranglinS on the subject,
agreed to make the street level. To do
this il was decided to raise the south
side of the street and lower the north
side several feet. When the paving is
finished it is believed the avenue viii
be one OF the handsomest in the west.
