The Delta Business Men held big
meeting last Monday night and dis
cussed the Sugar Factory proposition.
Several speakers were present and q
jolly time was had. The festivities
opened at $50 p. m. with banquet
followed by smoker. DR.. Stockham
was the toastmaster and Merle D. Vim
cent, of Paonia, was the speaker of
honor. The situation was carefully
gone over and the proper steps will be
taken to try and interest The American
Sugar Company in the proposition OF
building factory at Delta. There is
little question but that a sufficient
acreage can be obtained to make sea-
sons run for the factory and if this is
the case it is quite likely that factory
will be built in this county. Sugar fac
tories are doing great things for the
people of other sections of the country
that have secured them and their in
stallation has always been the signal
for general livening of every interest
of the section.
