The SUGAR BEET DOINGS
Affairs Progress Satisfactorily
And Manager Is In San Fran
cisco Attending To Details.

The incessant grinding throughout
the usual season of sugar factory
machinery seems to be more and more
within the possibility of things as each
day passes. The organizers of the Ne
vada Sugar Company met Saturday
afternoon and selectes the members of
the board of directors that will for the
next year have charge of the affairs of
the company. To these men will be
entrusted the hercuean task of supern-
tending the work of rearing a gigantic
sugar plant and to provide funds and
to attend to the various functions in
cident upon the installation of NAM
moth enterprise of this nature. The
men upon whom these tasks devolve
are: Henry Hinze, president of the new
corporation, State Senator R. L.
Douglass, vice-presdent, Thomas Dolf,
|. H. Kent, F. M. Wightman, Fred
Hinze and Charles Cirac, directors.
The Nixon National Bank was desig-
mated as the company's depository and
L. N. French was engaged as the COM
pany counsel for the ensuing year.
Various matters concerning the en-
terprise were discussed by the board
of directors following the election Satur-
day afternoon, and it was decided to
ask at once for the first nstallment of
the capital stock already suscribed,i
while other subscriptions will be
solicited and beet acreage will be signed
up. Already agents have been sent
out who will interview the agricul-
turists Of the valley and sign them up
fof the 1910 crop.
Fred Hinze left on Sunday afternoons
train for San Francisco, wnere he went
to confer with structural steel
manufacturer and get estimates upon
the necessary steel for the Fallon fac
tory. An idea of the immense amount
OF metal necessary in the building of
the factory aside from the machinery
can be had when it is known that the
buildings will be two in number. The
largest will be the factory proper,
wherein the machinery win be housed
This building will be 40 feet long and
GO feet wide, while the machine shops,
boilers and lime kilns will require
another building 240 feet by 80 feet in
Those who have charge of the work
of building the factory are earnest in
their desire to make of the enterprise
a Nevada industry and to this end Ne
vada materials will enter as largely as
possible into the factory's construction
and Nevada labor will rear the walls
and install the machinery.
The site of the factory has been
determined and a number of
conditions enter into the choice. The
site lying between Fallon butte and the
canal situated on a parcel of the
Thomas Dolf ranch was considered the
most ideal, because of proximity TO
Fallon and natural building stone,
drainage, water supply and other i'm
portant adjuncts and Mr.. Dolf public
spiritedly came forward and donated
the tract, comprising 20 acres, to the
The site has been surveyed by Civil
Engineer E. P. Osgood and Assistant
A. o. Foskett, and the latter has pre-
pared the plans for the office building,
contract for which has already been let.
In the building will be the managers
office, draughtman rooms and steno-
q iapher's rooms. 1t will be completed
and in use before work is started upon
the factory proper.
