GREAT DISPLAY OF HORSES

The third annual horse show was
held Saturday at John E. Schick's S
feed barn on Superior street under
the management of Henry McNam-
ara and G.. B. Hi cox The show ex-
celled any ever held in Gratiot coun-
ty AT o'clock in the afternoon the
parade left the barn, came up SUI
perior street, turned at State street,
going over to Orchard avenue. The
parade then came back by the g. -
Gratiot avenue. Outside of the state
fair IL is doubtful if there ever was a
half mile of horses equal to those put
on parade Saturday. This is an eX-
traordinary showing considering the
condition of the roads and the many
carloads of horses that have been
shipped from Gratiot county during
the past two years.
The Fitzgerald brothers brought in
string of seven draft horses which
was the largest number brought from
any one farm. Fred VanBuskirt had
three draft teams that averaged $500
pounds per team. Mr.. Van Buskirt
values the six horses at $4,000

THAT DEPOT PROJECT
The Mayor Receives Letter From Geo.
". Dickinson Of R. R. Commission

The following letter received by J..
M. Montigel explains itself and shows
that the railroad commissioners have
not entirely forgotten their recent
visit to our city:
Hon. J. M. Montigel, Alma, Mich.
Dear Sir: With further reference
to necessity for passenger station ia
cilities at Alma, and in reply to your
letter of the 22nd:
II wish to inform you that we have
had this matter up with the railroad
companies interested, and have re-
Gently notified them that there is a
necessity for furnishing us with plans
and specifications for a new building
We propose to issue an order in the
very near future looking towards this
station being constructed within a
reasonable time.
Respectfully yours,

THE SUGAR FACTORY.
Enlargement-FactS and Figures;
Given Out By Gen. Mgr. Allen
CAPACITY INCREASED 50 PER CT.
Rebuilding Already Started-FaCtOry Will Be
Ready to Operate September 18th

Within the next few months the
Alma sugar factory will be enlarged
so that the output will be increased
by half. The present daily output of
the plant is 500 tons. When the next
campaign starts the factory's capac-
ity for production will be 1,2O0 tons
per day. The cost of enlarging the
plant will exceed $25O,000 Accord
ing to General Manager lothian
Allen, no new building will be built
as there is plenty of room in the fac
tory to accommodate the new ma
chinery that is to be installed. Among
the more important additions that
Will be made are another set of bat
teries, an evaporation, one vacuum pan,
eight filter presses and one more
lime kiln. To provide for the addi-
tional power required, two new boil
ers will be installed, which necessi-
tates the building of an addition to
the present boiler house The pur-
pose of increasing the factories ca
pacity is two fold. The manufacture
ing of 1900 tons per day, instead Of
500, means that the company will put
on the market in the future many
thousands of tons more than they
have in past years. 1t also means
that the campaigns will be shorter,
thus making a big cut in expenses in
proportion to the output.
General Manager Allen gave OUT
some very interesting figures which,
give to a laymans mind some idea
of the tremendous output of the
sugar factory during the compar-
atively short time it is running In
full swing. Last year, 1860 tons Of
coal and 500 tons of coke were con-
sumed, while it is estimated that dur
ing the coming year at least $4,000
tons Of coal will be burned. Last
year 5000 tons of lime rock was used
and next year over 1000 tons will be
needed. In the last campaign, S2,156
tons of beets were sliced. In all
probability, the next campaign will
see not less than 100, 600 tons go into
the factory The working hands will
be increased from two hundred fifty
to three hundred. During the last
year about $115,000 was paid out In
wages and salaries. OF this amount
500, 900 went to the men who worked
through the campaign only. Last
year the amount paid out in wages
was a great deal less than the
amount of proceeding years. The

jovial clerk could not have been
selected. All day, up TO the time of
the dedication, the genial little man
from Bay City with a straight eye
and a smooth tongue. let go impos-
sible answers to the continual stream
of unheard Of questions.
The occasion passed off without a
single hitch. There was something
doing every minute. AS the crowd
arrived at the Home they were re-
ceived by members of the Alma
lodge and divided into parties. The
parties were in charge of members
of the local lodge who showed them
through the building and grounds.
At II: 80 a stand-up lunch was served
in the sun parlor Young men were
stationed in different parts of the
building to look after the wants of
the people and give information.
Three boys acted as bell hops to run
small eTrands. Great credit is due
superintendent Monte que for the
splendid way in which the great
crowd was handled.
Friday was certainly Masonic day
from beginning TO end. Every pos
sible effort was given TO it. II

Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1912-04-04

run of the last year was exceptionally
long, due to the condition of the
beets when received at the factory.
With increase in help counteracted
by the shorter run, it is believed that
the wages for the coming year will
not greatly exceed $115,00O. As to
the amount paid out for beets last
year, the company's book show $780,
000 All of this went to the farmers
of this community, not many of whom
live farther than twenty-five miles
from Alma. In the past year the COM
pany had 10000 acres of land under
contract for beets. Already there Is
under contract for next summer 10000
acres and this is as much acreage as
the Alma factory will be able to
handle. From this acreage with or
dinary climatic conditions during the
summer, the farmers should get
$750,0OO worth of beets. The past
year was not successful one for the
sugar companies. The beets came
into the factory in very poor condi-
tion and were also of poor quality.
The long dry spell followed by the
heavy rains of the fall caused the
beets to contain much water and a.
low per cent Of sugar.

In special edition of the Record is
sued Sunday, October 80, 1910, the citi-
zens of Alma were apprised of the gift, by
our townsman, A. w. Wright, of the then
Alma Springs Sanitarum to the Masonic
fraternity of Michigan for use as a home
for the aged and feeble masons. The gift
which was accepted by the Grand Lodge
was last Friday dedicated by the Grand
Lodge officers to the use intended by the
donor This in brief was the occasion of
the gatheringin this city last Friday of
more than 1900 masons representing all
portions of the state, from the north to the
south and from the east to the west, and
while the dedicatory services were the
primary cause of their coming, yet their
presence on that occasion was of itself a
tribute of respect to the man who made
the occasion possible, A. W Wright.
