into the road According to their story
the auto was gyrating from one side

autoist apparently steered his big ma

jump from the buggy, but before they
could do this the automobile struck
the light vehicle and they were
hurled several feet in the air.

stop to ascertain the damage he had
injured men, and his victims were un-
able to see the license number of the
machine.
Blasdale remained unconscious for
nearly an hour and it was necessary
TO operate on his eye to remove a
small piece OF stone. He was badly
bruised about the head and face and
also suffered several decorations Of his
scalp in addition TO numerous contu-
sions on his body. Austin was the

BEET HARVEST is OVER.
Many Growers Compelled to Pit Their
Beets for Later Delivery
Bins Are Full.

I Lehi, Nov. lathe present fine weather
has enabled the farmers to dig beets,
and the result is that the beets are now
practically all in. excepting some which
the beet growers have pitted. In all the
contracts of recent years. there has been
clause providing for pitting 10 per cent
of the crop This season the company
has required the fulfillTnent of this pro-
vision, and the farmers who did not get
their beets in early are placing 10 per
cent of their crops into pits to be deliv-
cred later when there is more room in the
sheds.
A visit to the factory reveals the fact
that practically every available space
there is filled with beets, and trainloads
are arriving daily, the new shed of 1000
tons capacity. which was built this sum
mer, being also filled to overflowing-
The city has started an agent soliciting
for water takers for the new water sys-
tenn which was voted for during the sum
mer. He reports good success, and says
that he will get probably 400 contracts IN
the town. This number would be materl-
ally increased but for the fact that
hundreds of families in Lehi are now sup
piled with the purest of water from flow
ing wells.
Francis and James Kirkham have pur-
chased the Standard Knitting companys

by installing more new and up-to-date
machinery.

The granite shaft and base for the pho

honor of the first settlers of the city
