BEET CUT IS
DUE IN 1914:
CHOP COST
R. P. Davie Announces That Fac
tory Must Close II Reduction
is Not Made.
is A TEMPORARY NECESSITY

cut on the price of beets for the
local factory next season Is necessi-
tated by the reduced price of sugar.
according to r. P. Davie of the West
ern Sugar Company. who is here to
confer with local officials and the
principal growers on the subject.
Il. is case of reducing operating
expenses or shutting down the fac
tory" said Mr.. Davie. when seen this
morning at the factory. AT the pres
ent price OF sugar we must cut our
fixed charges of $500. or we'll be
unable to finance another campaign"
Mr.. Dayie believes that the grow
ers will be willing to cooperate with
the company and take reduced price
for their product rather than allow
the factory to lie idle until such
time as the conditions for marketing
sugar are more auspicious.
The situation is not particularly
encouraging to me-" Mr.. Davie con-
tinued. I'VE have expended about
five million dollars in the sugar fac
tory In Grand Junction since purchas-
Ing the factory, and SO far we have
not received any returns. 1t is true
we have largely increased the size
OF the plant, building 1t from a 300
a
of SEQ tons. There has not, however.
been dividend earned since we
started. as We lost heavily on the
start and later our profits went to-
ward betterments.
Over three millions of our expen-
ditures here have been in eastern
money received from the sale of our
sugar, and 1t has done its share to-
ward the development OF the val
1ey.a The farmers have received an
average profit of $150,000 year on
a farm Investment of very much less
than our company's property has
cost. And II | am unable to cut
down our operating cost at least
100000, we will be compelled to
close"
Mr.. Davie stated this morning that
he had considered for a time the
proposition of reducing the crop to
about 1000 acres, so as to supply su-
gar for the western slope markets on
ly. However. this would entail a
heavy overhead expense equal to that
of long campaign and SO the cost
per bag would be relatively higher.
He has come to the conclusion. there
fore. that after all factory costs are
trimmed to the limit enough must be
cut off the price to the grower to
permit the factory to make a show
ing to its bankers. Otherwise Mr..
Davie declares. 1t will be impossible
to finance another campaign.
Sugar Hits Bottom.

Big Hearted Ranchmen and
Their Families Join the Good
Fellows With a Cheer.
ALL FOR NEEDY OF THIS CITY

A big packing box, jammed full of
fruit. potatoes. clothing. flour and all
manner of provisions, will be the
gifts OF the people of the Friends
church in Pomona to the poor OF
Grand Junction. This is one of the
biggest Good Fellow offerings of the
season, and Rev Oscar Folger, pas
tor of the church. said this morning
that there was more enthusiasm over
the prospect in providing some cheer
to the needy people of this city than
in the annual treat which the Sum
day school will give to the young
sters of their own church.
The Friends of Pomona are real
folks. Even the little folks are Good
Fellows of the first magnitude. A
week or so ago the kids suggested
that. instead of having a Christmas
tree and a treat that they give their
own Christmas goodies to the little
folks OF Grand Junction that were
going to be needy this winter. They
wanted to pass up all their own
Christmas cheer to insure full
stockings for their neighbors in
Grand Junction.
This commendable spirit was rec
ognized by their parents. so, instead
of all the burden being placed on the
children of the church, the bigger
folks have decided to get in the game
themselves. sd
So next Sunday morning at the
Friends church the big box will be
ready to receive its provisions. I'VE
have big box" said Rev. Folger

Committee Turns Down ConsoIi-

Grand Junction.
TO BUILD CANNERY AND DRYER

The Palisade fruit-growers, at
least inasmuch as the members OF
the Western Slope and Palisade Fruit
Growers Associations are concerned.
will reject the consolidation propos-
al made to them by the Grand juno
tion Fruit Growers association.
The joint committee OF the grow
ers at the Palisade end OF the val
ley at meeting Tuesday evening and
yesterday considered the proposal
and its members unanimously ex-
pressed themselves as opposed to the
offer, They will not, however, make
q report. rejecting the offer. but have

Saturday night In Bower Hall at Pal
isade. where they will submit the Of
fer. without any recommendation.
However. leading growers at Pali-
sado have announced that plans for
consolidation or amalgamation as
far - tho Grand Junction association
is concerned would be dropped by
them, and that the two Palisade or
ganizations would consolidate and
try to take In AZ many OF the indi-
vidral growers of the Grand juno
tions association US they could.
The plan is now to combine the
Western Slope and the Palisade as
sociations, to use one of the present
sets of buildings for shipping pur-
poses. and to convert the other into
q plant for utilizing the present
waste products from the fruit.
If this deal goes through now. as
is anticipated. the Palisade growers
will establish an up-to-date cannery
for handling peaches. pears. apples
and vegetables, and will also con-
slruct vinegar faetory, and install
drying houses.
The Grand Junction proposal
which Is to be considered Saturday
night. was to take over the two Pal
isade association properties and is
sue stock In exchange. In the Grand
Junction association. at par. Anoth-
or proposition was to simply take
over the buildings and to hold the
stock in payment therefor, in escrow
for r. term OF three years.
Our committee agreed that the
propositions presented were not to
be considered In their present FORM"
said one Of the members of the COM
mittee
THE proposals were evidently bas-
ed on u misconception of the wishes
of the growers-on a supposition-
that we were down and out. and
wanted simply place to light. The
Grand Junction association opened
its arms to allow US to light. but we
are not ready to fall in. Just at pres

holders proposition--the association
was willing to take in more shippers
from whom they could make more
money. But we want cooperative
plan, by which the growers get what
ever money is to be made, and not
the stockholders-so We Will prob
ably be forced to work out our own
salvation. No concessions have been
offered US. and we intend now. il
possible, to unite all growers in the
Palisade end of the valley. handle our
own fruit. market the waste in the
form of vinegar, canned goods. or
