SUGAR FACTORY
MEN DEFINITE
Give Twin Falls Straight Facts
as to Location.
DAVID ECCLES DOES NOT WANT
LARGE ACREAGE NEXT YEAR.
Factory Promised for 1918 Under
Certain Conditions, for Twin
Falls.

1t Is now certain that Twin Falls
will not have sugar factory next
year, and that the aim of the Amalga-
mated Sugar company is merely to get
acreage for the factory promised for
Burley. 1t Is, however, possible for
this city to get factory in 1913 by
observing certain conditions laid down
by the sugar company.
A meeting largely attended by busi-
ness men was held Saturday morning
to meet David Eccles, D. c. Eccles,
Mark Austin and D. E. Burley, who
appeared to represent the sugar fac
tory. George F. Sprague, presided
over the meeting and called on the
various citizens interested In the fac
tory. J. E. White, c. E. Burton, Fred
Spencer, L. L. Breckenridge, T. ].
Woods being among those who spoke
for Twin Falls.
David Eccles, on behalf of the Am
algamated Sugar company, was the
principal spokesman and tried to con-
vince the Twin Falls people that they
did not want factory for next year
He also denied that his company would
| furnish the labor for the ranchers,
which statement had been made by
the younger Eccles during his first
| visit to this city
A perfervid talk by the president of
the Commercial club in which a prom
Use was made to raise 5000 acres by the
club met with sharp rejoinder by
Mr.. Eccles, who stated that no one
man or body of men could promise to
| raise five thousand acres or il will
ing to make such promise they did not
know what they were talking about
or the difficulty to be met In raising
such amount. He also reminded the
| business men that SO far, while the
other communities had raised some
acreage, Twin Falls had done nothing
but talk.
| By some clear cut questioning on
the part Of T. ]. Woods, Mr.. Eccles
finally came out straight to the point
and stated that he could not promise
factory for next year, but would
promise It for 1918 provided an at
tempt was made to get some acreage
next year.
The committee in charge of raising
the acreage will probably attempt to
raise the acreage and then get some
other sugar company to como.
