Beet Sugar Industry Promises
To BE Big Thing For That
Vicinity
SUGAR EXPORTS ARE SATISFIED
The Matter Of the Location of Beet
Sugar Factory at WaverIy is Now
Definitely Settled and the Site Has
Been Practically Decided Upon-WiIl
Cost 100000.
Special to Times-Republlcan.

Waverly, Oct. 1.-The question of
the location of beet sugar factory
in Iowa, and at Waverly, was finally
decided affirmatively Saturday. At the
large meeting of farmers at the carni-
val, former Congressman Bradley, OF
Bay City, Mich, announced that the
beets grown in this vicinity, We're sat
isfactory, and the Michigan capital
lists and sugar experts We're now sat
isfied with all the agricultural condi-
tons here, for this purpose. The mat
ter of location of the factory here is
now definitely and finally settled. The
site has been substantially decided
upon, and the orders for material will
be given at once. in order that the
100000 factory may be completed
ready for the campaign of 1907. This
is the beginning of the industry in
Iowa. Iowa people annually consume
sugar equal to the output of factories
having the capacity of the Waverly
factory, SO there is opportunity for
more enterprising towns to secure To-
cation of such institutions. The bust
ness men of Hampton are particularly
interested just now. and sent a large
delegati ton to Waverly Friday to get
information. Waverly business men
and farmers grew 1900 acres of beets
this year, which is very large acre
age for first year, and altho the fields
We're not prepared for beets by fall
blowing. and We're not selected as
could and would have been the case If
our people had begun this movement
last year, and in spite of numerous
plumbers incidental to lack of exper-
fence, growers have produced a Won
derful tonnage of beets, containing a
high per cent of sugar. The beets go
to Chaska, Mimi, this year. bringing
S. per ton net to the growers ship
ping from Waverly. If reasonably
full acreage of beets is grown for the
Waverly factory it means about $780,

the farmers of the county.

Logan Attorney, Supposed to Have

have been the victim of hunting ac-

Bolter had been acting queerly for
several days, and on the morning Of
the tragedy gave the combination of
his safe and all his keys to his brother

respondent over the continued illness
Of his wife and the recent death of his
baby.
1t is very evident, from the location
of the mans wound, that Bolter placed
the revolver in his mouth and fired.
The bullet ranged upward and tore out
one eye.
While Bo1ter is still lingering be.

that he can possibly live.

MUCH GAMBLING AT DumoNT.
Estimated That $500 Was Taken by

This Eiemert at Carnival.
Special 10 Times Republican.
Dumont, Oct. 1.-The Dumont car
niv4l Of 1906 has come and gone. Sep
tember 27-S were days Well selected,
for the weather was very favorable,
and the second day brought large
crowd to the town. The only thing
to be regretted in the whole carnival
management is that too many OF the
gambling element We're allowed to
come in and robbed the people OF their
hard money, and instiiled within the
minds of the boys a desire for the low
er things of life. There were at least
ten of these gambling tables allowed to
come in and licensed to beat the peo-
pie. 1t is variously estimated that
these men went away from the town
with anywhere from $1,000 to $500 Of
money for which this community is the
poorer, and the reputation of the town
is not enriched for its purity.
Professor Holden judged the corn
and other farm products and gave a
very excellent address on the street
during the early part of the second
day He gave the first premium on the
corn to VIM. Austin, and the second
premium to C. x. Yost. Both of these
