THE NEVADA SUGAR COMPANY SAM DAVIS EXPLANATION
Is Accomplishing Wonders in
the Installation of Its
Plant.

We doubt whether the people of this
valley and community appreciate, OF
even fully comprehend, the progress OF
events at the Nevada Sugar Company s
big plant east of town, or whether they
have the proper conception of what this
gigantic undertaking means to the flu.
ture of the town and valley. Yester.
day We visited the factory site and were
amazed at the progress made since our
last visit month ago. Work has been
going on constantly, under the able di-
rection of General Manager Fred Hinze,
and it is now possible for sightseers tc
view the great factory buildings and
get fair idea of their magnitude
though to understand what humming
hives of industry they will be when the
100 carloads of machinery now being
shipped here from California and Mich
igan are installed and working is i'm
possible 10 anyone not thoroughly con-
versant with sugar manufacturing.
Already several carloads of machin-
cry are being unloaded at the boiler
room, the spur having been completed
to the site last Saturday. Among the
machinery being unloaded are six boil
ers of the total complement of ten, each
of IT'S horse. power In the main build
ing, which is more than 4G0 feet long,
cement flooring has been put in place
in portion of the building, while the
structural steel has been reared TO the
third story floor level. Two more sto-
ries of structural steel remain to be put
in place to complete the main building
superstructure, which will be five sto-
fes in height.
All of the Nevada Sugar Company s
buildings are of locally produced brick,
manufactured from clay that abounds
in this vicinity which burns to beauti-
full cream color. The walls of the build
ings having assumed shape, some idea
can now be had of the beauty of this
product and of the attractiveness and
substantially of the buildings into the
erection of which it has entered.
Talking with General Manager Fred
Hinze yesterday, we were told and be-
lieved the statement that no other plant
of equal size in the world will excel or
equal The Nevada Sugar Company's 500
ton factory for efficiency and beauty
when completed. All work to date has
been performed with thoroughness
characteristic of the former work of
the Hinze brothers, who are among the
country's best known and most capable
sugar factory builders. 1t would now
seem that it is but question of short
time when we will be glad to doff our
hats to the indomitable energy and the
do-or-die spirit of the men who pushed
through this great undertaking.
While the company has now passed
beyond the stage where local financial
cooperation is necessary, nevertheless
it is the plain duty of every resident of
this great, growing section to cultivate
sentiment favorable to the enterprise
in every legitimate way, for its rela-
ton to the future welfare of this val
ley must be obvious to all. Indeed, in
viewing the matter dispassionately, we
are inclined to believe local residents
fail in measure to realize what the
coming of this industry means to them
individually or collectively. Perhaps we
have never stopped to think OF the i'm
mense sums that will be disbursed an
nually here as each campaign of manu-.
featuring is being conducted of the
swarm of employees who will live direct.
ly from the factory's earnings, or OF
the still greater number of agricultu.
rists who will reap fair portion of the
factory's annual profits for their work
in supplying it with the necessary ton
mage of beets to make campaigns
profitable. We have never stopped to
consider, possibly, the influence Of
these extra sums of money that will
come from the sugar company's opera
tions and go through local business
channels, nor what it will mean to the
towns prosperity. Nor, possibly, have
we stopped to figure out the added val.
ues that will accrue to the farm realty
of the valley. All this increment will
come to us, and in the aggregate it will
comprise a sum beside which the initial
factory investment-halfa million dol.
lars though it be-will seem small.
