Culture of the sugar beet together
with the manufacture of beet sugar has
passed the experimental stage in Utah
and Idaho. 1t may now be considered
a permanent and one of the most pro-
life sources of wealth. The record for
the year just closed is the best in the
history of the industry. 1t exceeds that
of 1906 which at the time was thought
10 have established a mark for several
years.
As near as may be estimated from the
statistics given out by the various COM
panies, the output of beet sugar for
Utah and Idaho for 1907 will not fall
below 165,000,000 pounds. At the pre-
waiting retail price in this community,
this would represent an aggregate val
ne of $4,000. 900. Perhaps three-fourths
of this amount. or $500, 600, viii ap-
prOXimately represent what is received
by the manufacturers at the factories
for the output.
The beet sugar interests in Utah and
Idaho have now become so intimately
associated that it is not possible to
shegregate them. The same men and
the same capital are represented in
both the Utah and Idaho companies.
In fact, there is a rapidly growing, SEN
timent on the outside to the effect that
what is known generally as the sugar
trust is the controlling force i'm the To-
cal industry in both states, and that
hencefOrth it is to be promoted or re-
tarded not TO accommodate local con-
ditions, but to meet the needs of the
parent organization.
Figures as to Annual Output.
The following facts and figures are
given out from the local Headquarters
of the Utah and Idaho companies. They

FIVE ARE INDICTED
BY FEDERAL JURY
Quintet of Men Accused of Selling
Firewater to Indians Within
Limits of ReseVa.
tion

Indictments were reported yesterday
by the federal grand jury against the
following men, who are charged with
selling liquor within the limits of an
Indian reservation: E. E. Brown,
James Riley, Antonia Romero, Jose
Guerraro and James Stewart.
Separate indictments were returned
in each case except that of Brown
and Riley, who were jointly charged
on one Indictment.
The grand jury was ready to file
true bills several days ago, but owing
to the slight illness of Judge Well
born the return of the indictments
was continued until yesterday.
The government officials claim the
men under arrest have been a menace
to the peace of the Yuma reservation,
that the quality of liquor sold was
vile and that the Indians became
crazed and unmanageable after drink
ing at the little frontier saloons.
In some instances 1t Is said the ac-
cused men carried their stock of
liquor with them on burros or in
wagons and visited the redskins with
the deadly firewater. More than ten
gallons of liquor were confiscated as
evidence in the pending cases.
1t is said other arrests will follow
and that the government is determined
to stamp out the illegal sale of liquor
within the Indian reservations of the
west.

HUNTINGTON,JR.,
SAYS STORY IN
HERALD TRUE
Elevated Petition Is
Filed
Business Men Believe Huntington and
Hartman Are Preparing to Con-
troll Future Railroad Traffic
of Los Angeles

That the exclusive story in The
Herald yesterday morning regarding
the transfer of the well known Childs
tract from Henry Il. Huntington to e.
H. Hartman was true in nearly every
detail was practically confirmed later
by admissions by Howard Huntington
and also by a petition filed with the
board of public works yesterday.
In this petition franchise was asked
for an elevated railroad, to start from
the Los Angeles street side of the Pa
cific Electric building and to extend to
a vacant lot owned by Mr.. Huntington
on Los Angeles street.
1t is firmly believed in railroad quar-
ters that in order to provide more room
for the immediate needs of the Hunt
ington lines, q freight house will be
erected in the rear of the present build
ing and that the Huntington building
will ultimately be given UP to freight.
while the passenger station will be
located further south on Main street.
Present Station Too Small
It is admitted that the block bounded
by Eleventh, Twelfth, Hill and Main
streets cannot be made ready for rail-
road purposes for several years and
that it's construction will be with a
view of providing adequate accommo-
dation for many years to come.
LIE DTtS6nI lOl SlctllOl 10 lOO
small for the tremendous amount of
traffic and the Los Angeles-Pacific
lines practically have no facilities for
either handling passengers or freight
''I believe the Huntington and Harri-
man interests are planning to erect an
immense railroad station on what is
now known as the Childs property"
said a prominent railroad man yes
terday.
But the undertaking is so gigantic
that Huntington cannot longer delay
increasing his handling facilities at the
present location. After the elevated
road is in operation, what would be
easier than to continue the elevated
from Sixth to Eleventh street and thus
have a system that will be freed from
surface difficulties and will hold all
its traffic within the compass of few
blocks?"
Prepare for Entire Control
Far-sighted men like Huntington and
Hartman are evidently preparing to
control the future railroad traffic of a
city that will reach the half-million
mark within ten years, or even less,
is argued by men who closely follow
the local traffic situation.
That a central site for the future gi-
gantic proportions of the united Har-
riman-Huntington interests is abso-
lutely necessary for the continued de-
velopment of the system is acknowl-
edged by all shrewd observers.
Although it was stated late last night
that no papers have passed in the DEAL
It is probable that within a few days
the whole detailed story will be made
public and additional failures of the
vast undertaking become known all
over the country.
But in every essential feature the
- IL
ton to Hartman has been confirmed
from official sources.
