MILLIONS FOR
BEET GROWERS
Harvesting of Crop Begins,
Putting Into Circulation
Huge Sums of Money.

Harvesting of the beet crop In Utah
and Idaho is now opening and will be
in full swing within a short time. 1t
is said that farmers of the two states
will receive within the next month
total of $500 900 for the Deets they
have raised during the season
The experts of the sugar companies
here estimate that the total yield for
the season Will be approximately
600 900 tons, for which a price of 50 10
ton will be paid to the farmers.
In the two states there are about nine
factories and four cutting stations,
which will pay out about 100000 in
wages during the running season. The
factories are at Lehi, Garland, ogden,
Logan and Lewiston, Utah, and at
BlackfOOt Idaho Falls, Sugar City and
Nampa, Idaho. The four cutting sta
tions are at Provo. SpTingville and
Spanish Fork, Utah. and at Parker,
various plants will consume about
10000 or possibly rs, 600 tons of coal.
Owing to the exceptionally heavy
rains of the summer months, the period
in which the beets acquire their sugar
making qualities, the beets are lower
in these qualities than in former years.
1t is estimated that 14S,000,000 pounds
Of sugar viii be produced during the
running season. The annual cOnsump-
ton of sugar in Utah and Idaho is go
600, 900 pounds, of which quantity 90
and the remaining 10000 600 pounds are
imported. About $1,000 tons of sugar
viii be expected During the closed
season the sugar companies of the two
states eXpend about $500 900 in main
tanning their plants.

Owners of Suburban Tracts Expect

With the approach of the fall real

that he expects to be rid of all his lots
in both additions before snow flies

The call in the east is now for small

ing FOR good trade in furs this fall
There is a strong call for dress goods
particularly in fall lines. Hosiery and
gloves are still good sellers, the gloves
being mostly Of the short variety. Few
changes are noted in fall styles, the
exception being in the long coats. On
fine cambFics, lawns and longcIoths of
the best make the market is firm.
In the lumber trade there is a con-
tinued stiffening of prices largely ow-
ing to the difficulty in getting ship
ments from the coast on account Of
the shortage in ears. By ordering con-
siderabIy ahead, the local trade has
kept from running short and thus seri-
Ously delaying building operations.
