Mr.. Blethan's testimony referred for the
most part to transactions Of eight and
nine years ago, when the sugar industry
was opening ZIP in Idaho, He declared
that a proposition TO build factory at
Blackfoot was first submitted to him by
a man named Sorcn Hansen in 1903. Han
sen interested number OF people In the
proposition, saying that IL would be first
necessary to secure contracts on from
1000 to 5000 acres upon which to grow
beets. This task was undertaken sue
cessfully by I. w. Trago, Soren Hansen
w, w. Eidredge, D. w Standing and the
witness who Incorporated the Idaho
Sugar company. with a capitalization Of
$500. 900. Each OF the men named was d
director and subscribed $500. with the OK
ception OF Mr Hansen, who subscribed
S250,000
According to Mr.. Bethan's testimony,
Mr.. Hansen at that time said he had
paid $4,000 for machinery for 81 plant
that would have a capsc city OF 600 tons
q day. lie said he would assign the con
tract for the machinery TO the company,
according to the testimony.
Mr. Bicthau said that after the COM
panys formation Mr.. Hansen remained
away from BlaclSfoot for some time, and
that stormy sessions followed his return.

FIRE ENGINE HITS
AN EXPRESS WAGON
AS Result, John Reid, Aged 70
Years, IS Painfully
Bruised.

John Reid. rs years old, an express
wagon driver, narrowly escaped serious
injury when the Bransford combination
engine OF the fire department crashed into
his wagon at the corner of First South
and West Temple streets at 2:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
EXciledly trying 70 avoid the speeding
engine IL swung around the corner up
West Temple, the aged man pulled on
the lines in a way that made his horse
back the vehicle In front OF the engine.
One wheel of the wagon was demolished
and the driver was thrown out upon the
pavement. He was taken quickly TO the
Emergency hospital. where II was found
that his worst injury was a severe bruise
OF the left hip.
The engine was responding 10 a call
from the automobile and carriage repair
shop OF !. p. Fowler. 81 South West
Temple, and but for the steady hand OF
the cha auffeur Reid would probably have
been run down and killed. The fire was
put out before serious damage was done
Mr.. Reid was removed to St Marks

fail. Fire Chief Bywater sent the cN-
press wagon to the repair shop. Mr.. Reid

Suit Compromised.

The Blackfoot men brought suit against
Hansen and the Idaho Falls promoters ira
an eRdearor to compel them to disCon-
tinue the name OF Idaho Sugar com
pany.' The suit was compromised by the
payment of $4,000. covering the expenses
OF tho Blackfoot men, who withdrew the
complaint,
Subsequently "A factory was built at
Idaho Falls with q capacity OF 500 tons
by n company known as the Snake River
Valley Sugar company. with capitaliza-
ton Of $500. 900. of which 100000 was
subscribed by Blackfoot men. The pro-
jected Blackfoot factory was TO bc built
six seven miles from the Idaho Falls
factory. The witness inferred that com
petition would make beets harder to Sc
cure. He said that the factory at Black
foot was built by the same interests that
financed the construction OF the Idaho
Falls factory. Both these are owned by
the Utah Idaho Sugar company, Of whose
stock controlling interest Is held by
the American Sugar Refining company
or tho so-called "Havemeyer sugar

Firm in the Belief That Will

President.

Unless the political leaders In Utan
give more attention TO the spirit OF re-
form and break away from the reaction i
ary tendency which they now exhibit the
state will lose It's opportunity for political
progress and prestige"
This was the statement OF james II
Mcyle. prominent attorney and Demo-
cratic politician. who last night returned
to his home here after an extended tour
of Europe.
Mr.. Moyle refrained from using the
phrase federal bunch" but was frank
to say that he believed the existing situa-
ton here was one that called for active
work on the part Of both Republicans and
Democrats
Himself a Democrat, Mr.. Moyle said
that he expected, as soon Is consistent
with the adjustment OF his personal pusl-
ness. to get Into the local contest and dc
what he could for his party.
The widespread. earnest and generally
intelligent manifestations OF the spirit OF
reform along political and sociological
lines most impressed Mr.. Moyle during
his tour OF the eastern states and various
European countries. including Great
Britain, France, Germany, Holland. Italy
and Austria.
