Jury Finds Jesse Sawyers Guilty OF
Gambling.

In the case of Jesse Sawyers
brought in the justice court last week
on charge of gambling, the jury
found the defendant guilty. The case
was carried over to the district court,
Sawyers' bond being fixed at fifteen
hundred dollars, which he easily Sc
cured.
Ed Bennett, ST., and Ed Bennett, Jr.,
were held to the district court on a
charge of violating the local option
laws, and were released upon a joint
bond of five hundred dollars.
Ed Bennett, Sr., was placed on trial
on charge of permitting gambling in
his place of business, but was acquit-
ted by the jury, and a similar charge
against Ed Bennett, Jr., was dismissed
These charges grew out of the same
complaint upon which Sawyers was
convicted of gambling. The complain
ing witnesses in each instance were
alleged victims of the illegal practices
said to have been carried on, and their
testimony was offset in each case by
equally reliable testimony for the de-
fense, making the cases difficult ones
for the jury to settle.-Burley Bulle-

Washington, Nov. 24.-Class freight

known as the back haul cases." the
railroads charging for a theoretical
back haul from the Pacific coast ter
minals to intermountain points, al
though the freight is delivered on the

agreement with the rancher to furnish
laborers to harvest and care for the
crops. The contract in the case being
OF binding nature to the ranchers.
Mr.. Eccles was very frank about dis
claiming any philanthropic intentions
for his company and stated that they
were in 1t for the money. When
pinned down to the question whether
If five thousand acres was promised
the factory would come to this city, he
gave reluctant assent contingent upon
the sanction of the company to his
promise.
A committee was appointed to get
the contracts from the ranchers, con-
sisting of j. 3. White, H. C. Vanaus-
deln and Fred Spencer, who were fam
iliar with sugar beet raising and were
enthusiastic over getting the factory
here.
In giving the information above Mr..
Eccles stated that long haul to fac
tory or to dump at railroad was not
advisable and that the company was
making the effort to place smaller
factories and more of them in order to
cheaper transportation.

SUGAR FACTORY
MASS MEETING
Committee Decides to Call To-
gether Farmers of Tract.
MEETING WILL BE HELD IN
DREAMLAND PAVILION,
Every Man Interested is Invited to
Attend and Take Part in the Discus
sion.

The committee in charge of putting
the sugar beet factory proposition be-
fore the farmers of the tract have de-
cided that the easiest method of reach
ing the largest number in the short
time given would be to call a mass
meeting. The date set for the meeting
is at two-thirty on Saturday at the
Dreamland Pavilion. The question of
raising five thousand acres of sugar
beets in order to secure the factory
will not be any easy task and the COM
mittee ask that all of the ranchers at
tend the meeting and take part in the
discussion and pledge to cultivate
some portion of the five thousand
acres.
The meeting will be open to discus
sion by any one interested and the
whole question threshed over Men
who have cultivated sugar beets and
know the truth about the profit in the
business are especially urged to be
present and give as much information
as possible.

LAND SHOW GREAT SUCCESS
Oregon Short Line-U Union Pacific Ex-
hibits Strong Feature.

Chicago, Nov. 26.-The United States
Land and Irrigation Exposition being
held at the Coliseum is proving the
most successful and far reaching land
show yet arranged in this country.
Over $4,000 people were in attendance
during the first week of the show,
these being principally from Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Michigan and
other middle western states, and it is
assured that the states traversed by
the Oregon Short Line will secure
many hundreds of new settlers as
result of this attendance. 1t is safe to
estimate that the show will record an
attendance of over 100000 up to it's
close on December 9th. ~
The exhibits that are attracting more
attention probably than others are
those of the Union Pacific-O Oregon
Short Line and related lines in which
the fruits, grains, potatoes and other
products are strongly featured and at
tractively displayed. Friday, Novem-
Der gath, was Idaho Day" at the show,
and many hundreds of bushels of Ida
ho potatoes were given away to those
in attendance.
In addition to its great feature ex-
hibits, the Union Pacific-Oregon Short
Line system is conducting two lecture
stages, where daily lectures are given,
illustrated with effective moving pic
lures and stereopticon views
The related lines expenditure at
this show will run way up in the thou
sands of dollars, but the management
feels that the money will be we'll spent
when it is realized what great benefits
the intermountain states will derive
from it.

es and Business Men and Put Up Clear Cut Proposition.

Accompanied by w. T. Jack, presi-
dent of Cassia County Mormon stake
as sponsor, D. G. Eccles appeared be-
fore a number of ranchers and busi-
ness men at the Commercial club Mon
day afternoon and on behalf of the
Amalgamated Sugar company of Utah
and Idaho, placed the proposition of a
sugar beet factory before the assem-
bly,. Mr.. Jack, as spokesman, gave in
few words the plan of operation by
the sugar company. He stated that
the ranchers in Cassia county received
$4,000 from the sugar company last
season for a very small amount OF
beets raised and also stated that the
yield was of better quality and quanti-
ty than in the older communities. The
company where starting the beet
growing industry for the first time
send out experts who instruct the
farmers as to planting, cultivating and
irrigating the crops, with later instruc-
tion as to the thinning of the rows. In
the fall the company makes the test
for sugar qualities and advise when to
harvest and top the beets. The cost
per acre for raising the beets was
placed at $33 per acre and the repre-
sentatives claimed the beets cmfwy
sentatives claimed that nineteen and
twenty tons to the acre were possible
in soil like that of Twin Falls and
Cassia county.
Mr.. Eccles, when introduced, gave in
brief the proposition of his company
that if five thousand acres or more OF
beets could be contracted for period
of five years that his company would
build sugar factory in the locality
which would promise the greatest
acreage. The company would agree tc
pay $475 to $500 per ton for the beets
provided the sugar percentage reached
the 15 per cent mark. He stated that
the company did not pay over $500
however, when the percentage was
higher than normal. He stated thai
the labor question could be handled by
the company, which would sign al
