SUGAR COMPANY
COMPENSATES
BEET RAISERS

The Utah Idaho Sugar company have
made disbursements to the farmers c
Snake River Valley. G. G. Wright,
Of Idaho Falls, writes booster letter
to the Optimist:
Dear Sir,
1t is not generally known that a re-
solution which materially effects the
welfare of the beet growers in the
Snake River Valley district, was pas
sed at recent meeting of the d.
rectors of the Utah-Idaho Sugar Co.
This resolution was as follows:
RESOLVED, that the sum of TWEEN
ty five thousand dollars, or as much
thereof as may be necessary be appro-
prated to be expended by Messrs
beet farmers for losses due to extra
ordinary weather conditions during the
months of November and December,
1912.
am advised that this twenty five
thousand dollars has been distributed
on basis of tonnage delivered
through November and December, ap.
proximately 40c per ton on all beets
| delivered during these two months.
believe the farmers and business men
in Bingham, Bonneville and Fremont
counties should know of this genercs ty
on the part of the Utah Idaho Sugar
Co.
Commenting further, would it not be
good business judgment ON our par
to encourage the raising of sugar bee
the extent that all our three factor
ies could run one hundred twenty day:
in place of seventy five days as during
he past? From personal knowledge
and investigation on my part, l fin
that the most prosperous agriculture
districts in Colorado and Utah arr
those in which Sugar Beet factories
are in operation. Not only should w
encourage the sugar beet industry, bu
the raising of peas, feeding of liv'
stock, and the principal of diversified
farming.
Yours for more prosperous South
ern Idaho,
q q Wright

Suffers Terrible Agony In Storm

HALEY, Idaho, Jan. % His leg
broken and lacerated, and lying in a
miners cabin completely buried be-
meath the snow, E. G. Hall was rescu-
ed by friends and brought here to-
day after having suffered eight days
Of agony. While working in drift
of his underground mine twelve miles
from HALEY, Hall was caught beneath
a slide of rock 400 feet from the sur
face on January Is.
When Hall freed himself from the
debris and found his leg badly brok-
en- he managed to crawl cut of the
mine and across the deep snow to
his cabin, only to be showed in there
and made a helpless prisoner. He
set the fracture as best he could, but
for eight days suffered terrible agony.
He melted snow for water and had
sufficient food to keep him alive.
Hall had told the men at the Com
stock ranch. five miles away, that he

fearful that an accident had befal!en
him, so yesterday Bert, Charley and
Leon Comstock started for Halls camp
They passed over fourteen bad snow
slides on their trip and found Halls
cabin covered with snow. Hall they
discovered inside, having abandoned
hope of being rescued.
The brothers improvised a sled will
their snOWshCes and after severe
trip got the injured man to thei
ranch 1t took them sixteen hour:
to cover the five miles and they wer'
in constant danger of snOwslides.

The House and the Memorial Bridge.

Mr.. Gude's denial of the statement at
tributed to him by Chairman Johnson
of the House District committee re-
flecting upon the Memorial bridge as a
real estate project" removes the soli-
tary vestige Of authority for that as
sertion. which presumably TO some ex-
tent influenced the House in it's re-
lection Of the Senate amendment grant
ing funds for a memorial bridge COM
missions work. 1t is surely incumbent
upon the House District chairman to
take cognizance of Mr.. GUIDES dis
claimer. The declaration that the
Memorial bridge plan is identified with
u real estate project" came as a shock
TO those who have been urging this
plan for years. AS The Star stated the
other day, there was never a more
commendable enterprise, with SO little
suggestion of Interior motive or COM
mercial design, and to the extent that
the House has been swayed in its at
xitude toward the proposition by the
suggestion that 1t is inspired by busi-
ness motives 1t should now be moved
TO reconsider the vote by which the
Senate amendment was rejected

Tammany and Washington.

In commenting on Representative F1tx-
serald's defense Of Tammany In the
House. the New York Tribune says:
1T wasn't worth while to try to throw
dust In the eyes Of the democratic poll
ticians at Washington. They have long
looked upon Tamnany with the cold dis
dain which n family usually shows for an
offensive black sheep or a rundown and
unfortunate poor relation. From the
Washington point OF view any calamity
happening TO Tammany would be classed
as friendly dispensation OF Providence. .
BE not deceived. Somebody has been
throwing dust In the Tribune's eyes. The
democratic politicians In Congress know
all about Tammany. and are as far from
wishing permanent calamity to befall the
organic tion as are those democratic
politicians In New York who slug II one
year and coddle it the next.
Throughout the country Tammany IS
recognized as not only the most powerful
democratic organisation in New York
state. but as the only one whose regu.
iarity cannot possibly be shaken. Let the
party In national convention adopt any
sort OF platform, or nominate any sort OF
man foe pFssident, AnA TAmmAAv - In
