Sugar Factory Talk.

Sugar Company to move its factory
from Grand Junction to Delta, the
people oown that way have been
putting forth every possible enorl
10 secure beet acreage, as they pro-
CAIN, in an effort to retain the
factory, and have so far had sub
scribed more than thousand acres.
The Independent is not informed
as to what has been done by the
committee appointed to further con-
fer with the company in regard
to the proposition to move to Delta.
AS the proposition was written, it
gave to a certain date to do certain
things which could hardly be accom-
plished within that period if at all.
The provision was then entered
reserving the right to decline the
proposition, making it a part of
the contract that the acreage of
beet contracts obtained in the effort
should be turned over to the Western
Land & Sugar Company for the year
1911.
This was very properly considered
the dividing line which called for
further conference.
Effort has been made for a long
time to get a local sugar factory for
Delta. 1t is claimed that more or
less progress has been made in the
effort Then comes the proposition
s-o-, ,b- ,D,,po,- ,parariDg the
Grand junction factory to move to
Delta and equip a larger plant pro
vided the people here will do what
they ask Immediately following
this, the papers at Grand Junction
announce that they have a 'one
chance in a thousand" to keep the
factory, that chance being the pledg-
ing of sufficient acreage to supply
il with beets.
The matter doesn't seem at this
time very near a settlement-with-
out the knowledge, of course, of
what the committe appointed for
further conference may have done.
1t is believed that a meeting for this
conference between the committee
and the heads of the sugar factory
at Grand Junction, will be held in
a few days. Until the result of that
meeting becomes known, but little
can be said of the prospects. and
| discussion by detail is premature.
The people of Delta want factory
1t is not a life and death matter,
but they want one. They would
like the Western Land & Sugar Com
pany to come here, in as much as
they are in manner occupying
the field. When the factory comes,
| in spirit of entire fairness and
business proposition which will
look good to citizens of the town
and farmers alike, they will not only
do the best they can to meet it, but
will stand behind it after it gets
here.
The field here is good-that we
have always maintained. 1t needs
factory-that the Independent has
always boosted for. But We want
factory backed by factory propo-
sition that can make good-one that
can make both beet growing and
sugar making a profitable success.

VAL ARA|SO HAS
A BAD EPIDEMIC
Between Is and 80 Gases of
Scarlet Fever at Col
lege Town.

Valparaiso. Ind. Aug. 16.-There is
another bad epidemic of scarlet fever
at Valparaiso and it is understood that
there are between twenty and
thirty cases of this disease in town.
There have been several deaths.
The cases are found both among the
students of the university and among
the residents of the town of Valpa-
raise. A number of those who have
been sick with the disease have been
quarantined.
One girl who had a light attack of
the disease managed. with the aid of
friends, to make her escape. She took
the train for home, but was arrested
upon her arrival at her home town and
was quarantined at the residence OF
her parents.
Most of the cases are not serious and
the patients are able to be up. and
around. The city of Valparaiso suffered
a similar attack last year, and its APP
pearance this year cannot be accounted
for.

improvements are under way at the

are in contemplation. The main fea-
ture of the improvements is an addi-

is to be added to the structure already
in use. The addition will be built onto

The extra room is an absolute ne

The Illinois steel Company South

plants are about 16 miles apart and
operate in parallel with each other
through a 22,000-volt line, suitable
