Sugar Factory Notes.

And the wheels are going round again
Average test to date 16.2 per cent.
The Lansing factory will start to cut
beets on Monday next.
Average tare is about % per cent
against about s last year.
Three hundred and fifty men are at
work about the plant in the two shifts.
The beets are remarkably clean, the
tare in many cases being but one per
cent,
1t is almost continuous string of
heavy loads of beets from early morning
until late in the afternoon.
Geo. Kentfeld with test of 90. per
cent has the best showing for this sea-
son. This test has rarely ever been ex-
celled in any part of the country.
Nearly 200 wagon loads of beets are
delivered daily, while rail shipments
have commenced to come about as fast
as the beets can be unloaded
Walter Cooper drew in load of
beets Thursday weighing 1O,S75 pounds
the largest load 80 far this season.
Mr. Cooper never draws less than 10, 900
pounds to load.
The tonnage per acre will fall short
of what has been generally expected,
owing to the long drought, but the high
percentage of sugar will make the
average return per acre very satisfac
tory.
The company has purchased 10000
tons of beets from another company
which could be shipped here at great
saving in freight rates owing to long
haul and two transfers. This will make
ten days additional run for the plant.
President G. W. Brown, Vice Presi-
dent Edward Pitcairn, of Pittsburg, and
Secretary G. N. Smith, of Bay City, ar
rived in the city last evening and are
spending the day at the factory. They
were at the Company's Prairie Farm
Yesterday.
The yards have been cleaned
up in good shape and racks laid
50 that cinders can be run out to
the southeast corner of the premises and
used to fill low places. An immense
supply of coal, lime, rock, etc, is in
the yards for use for the long campaign.
A pulp dryer will soon be in opera
tion which it is expected will handle
about third of the output of pulp. If
the work is successful additional ma
chinery will be provided another season
to care for all pulp not taken by beet
growers
The machinery was started and the
first beets cut at three o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon. Everything started off
in first class shape, showing the plant
I to be in good condition for the long run
ahead. The first strike of sugar was
made last evening, about 30 hours from
the time of starting.

While the stock did not sell for any
thing like its real value the fact tn. q
the average price was $1100 per head
higher than that of year ago shows
that buyers are becoming educated to
the fact that it pays to buy the best
stock and that Mound Spring Farms
have as good Berkshires as can be found
in the entire country. Telegraphic and

states on some of the animals, while

p Fever
Among Horses

DIR. Seabury, state veterinarian.
is authority for the statement that
a contagious and Infectious di-
sease among horses, known to the
medical fraternity as Typhoid, Epi-
zooty and Hepatic fever, is cpl
demic among the horses of the
valley and some died before the
nature of the disease became
known to the owners. DR.. Sea-
bury has had more than forty
head of horses under treatment
since he came to Saratoga. This
dread disease swept over Europe,
as we'll as the United States, a few
years ago and horses fell before it
like autumn leaves. 1t makes its
appearance every few years. The
symptoms are that of pneumonia
If your horse has a fever better
have him examined at once, for il
it is Typhus fever he is liable te
infect other animals.

G. Davis, chairman of the county
central committee, called the

nominations for the Office of chair
man. L.. E. Armstrong, of Raw
Inns, vas placed in nomination and

ment which was heartily applaud
ed by the entire assembly.
Col. j. f. Crawford was elected
secretary and after the appoint

JOHNSTON
INDICATED
Chaplin Endorses
Johnston's Action in
Securing Early Water
for the Reservation Set
tier.


Johnston and Governor Brooks
are to be congratulated upon the
happy outcome of their PROPOSE
ton to sell to the best bidder the
right to supply water to settlers
upon the lands soon to be thrown
open to entry upon the Shoshone
reservation.
The plan was a daring one and
involved a great deal of risk on
the part of the state engineers
officer. He was not only charged
with the responsibility of per-
forming the preliminary work,
but had to stand good for the
money expended in making the
preliminary surveys. The ex-
pense was something like $4,000
and in case of failure the state en-
gineer's office would have been in
an unenviable position. On the
other hand, if the plan succeeded
the people would be supplied with
water at a considerably earlier
date and the interests of the state
would be subserved. Those Sc
Letting lands would be in a posi-
ton to know just where the can
ais would carry water and their
choice of lands would be mater
tally affected. The settlers in
terests and consequently the in
terests of the state would be set
forward at least a year. Wyom-
ing would be ahead of her neigh
bors in the matter of priority of
water rights. The great benefits
to be derived more thar compen-
stated for the risk to be run.
The gentlemen to whom the
right to construct the canals and
reservoirs has been awarded are
men of great means and will un-
doubtedly carry the project
through without any trouble.
For cash, entrymen can be Sc
cured at $50 per acre, and at ten
years the price is fixed at $50
with interest at the rate of 6 per
on deferred payments.
1t is understood that work will
be commenced this year and that
it will be pushed through to COM
pletion with all possible dispatch.
Under this contract the people
who settle on the Shoshone reser-
walton and paw cash for their wa
ter will get 1t for less than two
thirds what it will cost settlers
under the Pathfinder project.
Those who take the five-year OPP
ton will get their water for per-
haps FIVE dollars less than the
price under the government pro-
jects and those who take the ten
year option will pay about the
same amount.-W. E. Chaplin in
Laramie Republican.
