an especially important one for its dis tribution is at that season of the year when large sums of money are taken from the banks of the valley by de- positors aud spent on the coast or at eastern summer resorts. There is hardly a class of inhabitants that the new factory does not affect and in each instance to their advantage.
 The factory means the building of Glendale. The buildings planned are architecturally such that the are an at traction to the town. The steel struc- ture of the main building is now fully completed. It is five stories high ln one part and three stories in another. Built on solid concrete foundations i- gives every appearance of standing for ages. This building is 293 by 6I feet and is the largest of the group. The foundations for the other buildings are well under way. There is a boiler 1 house 160 by 52 feet; lime kiln house i so by g feet; a repair shop 60 by B feet, and a smoke stack with base measuring 30 by 30 feet When com plete this stack will be 165 feet in height and the material patent brick.
 Tn addition to these buildings named ! there will be a sugar warehouse of the ! dimensions 12O by 67 feet and the i'm mense beet sheds 400 by 100. The of flee building built apart from the other structures will be of modern construc- { tion, and although small will be a | handsome structure.
 ! In the construction of all the build ] ings the company has used a brick manufactured by itself near the factory | site. This brick yard is a busy place and it must of needs be so for nearly
 25.000 brick are turned out daily. Two 1 large kilns were in process of burning yesterday and after being emptied they
 are put in use as soon as they are cool enough for the masOns to handle. All of the brick so far turned out are used
 on the main building where the walls
 have been built by the contractors to q z height of about ten feet from the
 ground. over fourteen masons are busy
 laying the brick while as many more
 men are busy helping about, carrying
 hods, mixing mortar, or wheeling brick
 Much of the machinery for the plant { is already on the. ground, which in cludes a giant beet washing machine
 fourteen immense crystallizers each
 weighing eleven tons. a full set of inn
 proved evaporators and miles of pipl
 all necessary in the operating of the
 factory. Besides there is a complete
 hoisting and erecting apparatus up and
 in operation. Besides the machinery
 on the ground the reporter was yester- | day informed that a large amount oi 1 machinery is yet to come but had al- , ready been ordered and parts of 1; | shipped. Among the parts of the ma-
 chinery shipped are the eight immense
 boilers each with a capacity of 25C
 horsepower For the boilers and tc
 avoid the necessity of handling sucf
 heavy machinery twice, the foundations
 are already being laid so the machinery
 when it arrives will be put in it's per-
 manent place at once.
 The railroad tracks present a busy
 scene. The s. F. P. & P. railroad has
 constructed for the factory use three
 side tracks and they are usually all oI
 them filled with cars. Yesterday or
 one track three cars of sand were be ing unloaded to be used with the brick
 work and the concrete construction On another spur three cars of wood tc be used as fuel at the brick kiln were being unloaded and on the third track
 of a car of lumber was being unloaded In all there are now employed in al branches over 100 men. To accommo-
 date these there is a large restaurant already in operation capable of serving 25O people at each meal while numbers of tents and portable houses serve as sleeping quarters.
 The railroad facilities for the factor!
 are especially attractive for it is pos. sible to reach by rail every corner O. the valley. This is of considerable i'm 1, portance for most of the beets growr for the factory will be shipped in by the cars. In all 125,000 acres of fer tile land are tapped by the railroads O ] the valley all of them connecting witi the road running to the factory In al 5000 acres of beets have been contract. ed for among the farmers. Near Glen.
 dale 500 acres will be planted, nea
