SCHOOLS REOPEN
AND TECH LOSES
MANY STUDENTS

The fall term OF the public school was
opened this morning with an estimated
attendance of between 25,OOO and 26,OOO
pupils.
The schools throughout the city were all
comfortably filled; and, beyond the in
convenience that the technical high
pupils are forced to contend with, every
thing progressed smoothly.
Owing to the lack OF suitable furniture
al the Broad street grammar school be-
tween 100 and POO second-year students OF
the Technical high scool will be forced
TO prolong their vacation until the school
department can make the necessary Inn
provements. Other pupils OF the Technl-
cal school are accommodated at the
Roosevelt street grammar school where
four rooms are given TO them; and Prln-
cipal George t. Weston will divide his
time. as best he can, among the schools
where the students are quartered. This
will be a severe hardship TO the progress
OF the students, as nothing but the aca-
demic work can be taken up until the
Technical building Is completed. There is
hope that this may be done by next Feb
ruary; but at present II looks very doubt
sul This condition Is responsible Tor
many students forsakng the course for
the other high schools and this morning
many who had signified their desire OF
taking up the technical course registered
al both the English and the Classical
schools
About 20 teachers have been forced TO
change schools. principally on account of
the desire OF the school committee 10
find room for the technical high school
students.

.UTAH'S POSITION
AS TO BEET SUGAR
1t Now Ranks as Second State in
the West in Produc-
ton.
DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRY
GRADUAL AND UNIFORM
Interesting Facts and Figures
Taken From Report of Ag-
riCuItuTaI Bureau.

The beet sugar industry In the United
states In 1905 is treated cxhaustively
In report No. So OF the Department Of
Agriculture. A striking feature of the
growth of the industry. the report
claims is the reclamation of arid lands
through irrigation, and that great pop
ular interest in the subject has been
inspired largely by the National scheme
OF reclamation by the use of funds de-
rived from the sale of public lands
While the cost of the undertaking
is gigantic. II Is no less so than the in
dustrial and social development which
VIII speedily follow. The Importance
or the changes that Will take place IL
Is claimed, can hardly be estimated.
What Is Predicted.
1t is predicted that regions which
are nov barren and untenanted will
be settled, towns and cities Will re
built and equipped with all the mod
ern means of communication, railroads,
trolley lines, telephone and telegraph
lines and rural free delivery of malls;
schools and churches Will be built and
the population of these new communi-
ties VIII enjoy all the benefits and
conveniences of modern life.
In concluding this part OF the re-
port the following is used. ITO 0@-
complish all this in decade seems like
the work of magic. One can hardly
keep track of this evolution of the
West. II appears like doing in few
years what has hitherto been consid-
cred the work of a century. Among the
Industries which will play the most
important part In working this modern
miracle Is the beet sugar industry"
Beet Sugar Production.
In speaking OF Utah the report states
that It was the third State In the
Union TO produce sugar from bects.
and that the sugar production in Utan
has shown gradual and uniform de-
vcopment-
The first factory In the State. It is
stated. was established at Lehi in 1891
with a daily capacity OF $50 tons The
capacity of the plant has been in
creased to 1900 tons daily and il now
has slicing plants at Springville. Span
ish Fork and Provo. each with a "a
pacity for $50 tons per day, The prog
ress of beet growing being greater
than that plants capacity an additional
factory was Installed at Garland. Ref
erenoe is. also made to the plants OF
Ogden, Logan and Lewiston. II also
speaks of the raising OF sugar beets in
Sanpete and Sevler counties and the
prospects of a factory in that region.
Estimates for This Year.
The estimated production of sugar in
Utah for 1906 Is given at $4,000, 900
pounds. while the consumption Of
sugar In the State. according to the
census of 1900, was Is, ,929 65l pounds.
Utah is surpassed In production in
the Western States only by Colorado.
10 which State is credited 1S4 000, 900
pounds.
