MEXICAN BEET SUGAR
COMPANY ORGANIZED
Bankers Propose To Erect
Factory In Republic.

Several salt Lakers have become In
terested in the Mexican beet sugar
proposition from which they expect TO
obtain big results from financial
point OF view. A company has been
organized with Offices in the Utah
Savings & Trust company in this city
to handle the business OF the concern,
among the valuable possessions Of
which is a concession from the Next
can government and from each state
and territory thereof. permitting the
company To erect beet sugar plants In
any portion OF the republic they choose.
The grant has been signed by all the
necessary officials Of both central and
state governments, and required g.. 500
in revenue stamps to make the docu-
meuts legal. The grant extends over
a period OF IS years. and is in fact per
petual and under its conditions an
machinery, material, Steel etc. re-
quired by the company for the CON
struction OF its plants will be admitted
to the country free OF duty. The com
pany's property and securities are ex-
cmpt from taxation during the life
OF the concession, except the govern
ment stamp tax.
The climate and soil of Mexico are
peculiarly adapted TO the culture Of
sugar beets, and as there is scarcely
any winter, il is said. crops may be-
planted every month and the factories
kept running every day I'm the year n
necessary. The beets, which are said
to grow without irrigation. yield from
10 to so tons per acre. and contain a
higher percentage OF saccharine mat
ter than the roots OF either American
or Germany. Labor conditions are also
favorable 70 the cultivation OF the
sugar beets, as the laborers work day
after day and live contentedly on 25c
per day in gold
The company expects TO erect Its first
factory near the City OF Mexico. and
a number Of sites are now being con-
sidered There is home market FOR
two or three factories OF 800 tons daily
capacity and the product Il IS claimed
may be shipped at a profit. owing to
the low cost OF production.
The officers OF the company are as
follows: NJ. II. Walker. president;
T. G. Thoresen. vice president W. Mont
Ferry. treasurer. Peter Porter, secre-
tary: Sumner Merrick. general man
