CANADIAN SUGAR FACTORY
WILL BE MOVED TO UTAH

The Knight sugar factory will be
moved to near Layton in Davis county
and IS expected to be in operation by
September /, 1915, says the Herald
Republican. Surveying on three ten
tative sites within one and half miles
Of Layton will begin at once, accord
ing to f. p. Ellison of Layton, who is
prominently identified with the Knight
concern. Officials of the Knight con
pany met Wednesday afternoon and
decided not to leave the factory at
Raymond, Alberta, as they had pre-
viously decided to do.
"The three sites offered are all good
ones," said Mr.. Ellison, "and the
farmers of Davis county have guaran
teed that at least 1000 acres will be
planted to sugar beets, the beets to be
delivered to the factory by the grow
ers. We shall move the machinery and
structural steel from Canada, and viii
add to the equipment whatever is nec-
essary."
The factory at Raymond has been
in operation for twelve years. Mr..
Ellison said the Salt Lake county offer
of a factory site near West Jordan was
passed up in favor Of the Davis eoun-
ty offer for the reason that the Davs
county offer appealed to the inyesti-
eating committee as more advantage
Gus.
When the factory is in operation its
buildings and equipment viii repre-
sent an investment Of fully 100000,
says Mr.. Ellison, and in the rush sea
son more than 100 men viii be EN-
ployed.
Those present at the meeting yes
terday were Joseph f. Smith, Jesse
Knight, Anthon H. Lund, J. William
Knight, Lester w, Mangum and E. T..

eral Pacific Coast league players EN-
route to Join their respective clubs.
Very much among those present was
a young man named Clarence Rowland,
the erstwhile bush Lacquer who is to
lead a big league crowd this summer.
Rowland got almost as much of a send
off from fans who went to the depot
to see the bunch off, as did the be-
loved Comiskey himself. If he makes
use of S71b per cent of the good wishes
and hopes for success that he carried

FEDERAL AID
FOR GOOD ROADS
Especial to the Silver ssate.)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-That pub
lie opinion is overwhelmingly in favor
of federal aid to good roads. is con-
clusively shown in the final report of
the joint Congressional committee
which has spent more than two years
studying this general subject In 1913
Hon. Jonathan Bourne ,Jr., chairman
of the committee, sent to large num-
ber of newspapers, commercial organ
izations, farmers unions and oranges
circular letter asking them to as
certain the concensus of ouinion in
their communities on this question.
Replies representing 100000 individ-
duals came from every state in the
Union, and since the requests for opin-
ions were made without discrimination
and without knowledge as to the views
held by the persons or organizations
addressed, the responses show with
reasonable accuracy the attitude of the
people throughout the country.
Ninetyseven per cent of the replies
favored federal aid and three per
cent were against it.
Importance Of Maintenance
The report emphasizes the impor-
tance of maintenance, and says:
"The permanence of an improve
ment depends largely upon the charac-
ter of maintenance. The stone~or gra-
vel surface as well as the foundation
of a highway, needs constant atten-
tion, similar to the care given the rails
and roadbed of a railroad. Tt is the
filing of the small rut, the repair of
the small break, that prevents more
serious damage
'In France, road patrolmen are en-
ployed to care for certain sections of
highway. Their tools consist chiefly
of wheelbarrow and shovel, with
which they repair every defect in its
incipiency.
"These men keep the roads in re-
pair until the harvest season begins
and then are left free to seek more
profitable employment among the far
mers of the community. A road kept
in repair until that time will need no
attention during the harvest period.
The highway patrolmen, therefore, af
ford a constant supply of labor upon
which the farmers can depend for part
of their harvest help.
eve believe a very similar system
of maintenance should be worked out
in this country
The report is printed as House Doc
ument 1910, Sixty-Tnird Congress. In
it's 315 pages will be found the most
complete data ever gathered on this
subject
