MANAGER CHOSEN
FOR SUGAR FACTORY

The following is taken from the
Fort Collins Review Of Jan. Is:
F. M. Wright, for nine years con-
nected with the sugar industry in
Larimer county, and manager OF
the local factory for the past year,
has rendered his resignation to
the Great Western Sugar company
and will leave within a few days
for Monte Vista, where he has ac-
cepted a position as agricultural
with the San Luis
Valley beet Sugar Co., corpora
ton whose president is w. j. Gal
ligan, formerly of Loveland and
for two years state treasurer.
Mr.. Wright's resignation came as a
surprise to the factory officials
and to the farmers and employees
OF the company with all of whom
the local manager has been on the
best OF terms during his work here.
That there is moth ,ng back OF Mr..
Wright's resignation other than
belief that he can better himself
in the southern field is evidenced
by his own statement and the
statement OF c. s. Morey, presi-
dent OF the sugar company.
81 believe l can better myself
materially by accepting the offer
OF the San Luis company" said Mr..
Wright this morning. 81 will be
agricultural superintendent there
and believe the possibilities OF the
valley are unlimited. l have been
down there and looked over the
field and can see that it has big
future before it. The factory is
being built by an independent con-
Germ, the field is new and undevel-
oped and l will have an oppor-
tunity to help develop what l
believe will prove to be one of the
greatest industries OF the state.
My relations here have been and
are absolutely harmonious in every
way and If this proposition had not
been offered me l suppose l would
have remained here indefinitely"
Mr.. Morey was equally specific.
"Mr. Wright has been with us nine
years." he said, "and during all
that time he has given us capable,
efficient and faithful service. He
goes with our regrets and best
wishes. We are sorry to lose so
good a man but we know he will
make good in the San Luis valley
just as he did in this district. You
may be sure that his resignation
was not requested by the Great
Western Sugar company; it came
from him voluntarily and was ac-
cepted only because he asked that
it be-"
Mr. Morey also said that no one
has been chosen as yet to succeed
MIR. Wright and that the company
probably would not announce the
new managers selection for sew
eral days.
Mr.. Wright was affiliated with
the sugar industry at the time
when the local factory was first
being considered. He was working
among the farmers before ground
had been broken for the building
and has been in the work continu-
ously since that time, first as field
uoau md lafar as anr;cnlt,r,I can,
erintendent, finally combining the
latter position with that OF local
manager. He has been in close
touch with the farmers every sea-
son and it is safe to say that
there are but few OF them who will
not regret his departure, for there
are but few others who have had
Ms much to do with the develop
ment OF the industry here as he
has had. He has made himself
popular with the farmers by his
willingness to look ut things from
their viewpoint and to give them
any advantage or assistance in his
power. With his own field men he
has been equally popular and there
il not one on the force ut the fac
tory who will not regret his deter
to leave for other fields.
For the present, at least, Mr..
Wright and his son, George p.
Wright, will be alone ut Monte
Vista, the rest of the family re-.
