Sugar Factory Will Start Cutting
Beets Saturday.

The sound of the whistle at the plant
of the Owosso Sugar Co. on Saturday
morning will mark the beginning OF
the longest sugar making campaign in
the history of the company. 1t is now
impossible to estimate the length Of the
run but as the acreage is much in ex-
cess of any former year and the ton.
mage promises to be heavy there is
every reason to expect the factory to
run well into 1919. While the quantity
of beets now on hand is not large the
beets are arriving in sufficient quanti-
ties to assure continuous run unless
we have more heavy rains The beets
so far delivered have tested an average
of 14s, which is higher than the test
of the beets delivered early last fall.

Credit. -.-6elioved There ls
Little Ground for Appeal.


Little Ground for Appeal.
AS this paper went to press last week
the jury in the U. s. district court at
Bay City was wrestling with the ques-
tion as to how much damages should
be awarded the city of Owosso in its
suit against the Barber Asphalt Paving
Company and it's bondsmen, the Ma
tional Surety Co., on account OF the de-
fective West Main street paving. 1t
was an easy matter for the jurymen TO
decide that verdict should be rendered
in favor of the city and it did not take
long to fix the amount at $7,245 The
case occupied the attention Of the court
little more than three davs and every
point involved was warmly contested.
City Attorney Seth @. Rulver had
given much study to the case and was
splendidly prepared to meet all issues
which might arise. He knew the law.
the court decisions, had his testimony
we'll in hand and was not for a mo-
ment disconnected by the attorneys for
the paving company. one of whom was
from Chicago and is regarded as an ex-
pert attorney in suits Of this kind, and
the other Allen Fl. Frazer of Detroit,
whose reputation is too we'll known to
need any commendation. 1t was a no.
table victory for Mr.. Pulver-
/ After the Judgment was rendered the
usual stay of proceedings was granted
on motion of the defendants, which in
dicates a purpose to endeavor to find a
loop-hole on which to base an appeal to
the u. S. Court of Appeals at Cincin-
natl, Ohio. However, as great carewas
exercised in the trial of the case and
the rulings of Judge Angel were emi-
nently fair it is not believed any error
will be found which will be serious
enough to reverse the judgment.
The city council voiced the sentiment
of our citizens in It's action Monday

thanks to MIR. Pulver for his untirinf
and painstaking work on the case.
Mr.. Pulver is now considering the
question of bringing a second suit
against the Barber Co., to recover th'
price paid for the laying of the pave
ment, something like $4,000. He vii
not, however, take action until he j
thoroughly satisfied that the law ant
precedents are favorable to the city.

of opinion that in this locality at least,
it was destined to increase in the future

reasons given for this prediction among
which were the adaptibility of the land,
the profitable returns and the danger to

The acreage devoted to this industry
this season has greatly increased while
that devoted to beans is less than in
former years. The crop Of sugar beets

all of the nearby sugar factories are
fieuring that the season will be much
