Wheat-Interest in wheat is rtaher

est sugar beet crop in it's history this

les is now estimated at $1,000 acres
in Utah and $4,000 acres in Idaho.

600; Idaho, $4,000; Michigan, 100000
Ohio, 90 800; Utah, SO, 400; other states
9O,4OO. The condition June l wal
93.9 per cent of a normal, indicatin!
1915 tons an acre.
In 1914 factories used 5,2SS,500 ton
of beets and made 722, o54 tons of su
gar.

 businest meetings held in weeks and
 nearly every subject under the sun
 was discussed.
 The following hearings were given:
 Changing Ellis street between
 Maple and Cherry street from fifty
 to forty feet i'll width. Edward H.
 Hall spoke for the Ellis estate and
 said the latter was opposed to any
 change as in time to come the street
 would be one of the main thoriugh- fares in that district. As part of the
 street wilt be- fifty feet in width the , entire street, should correspond, he ] thought John Malmfeldt was in flavor of the project. The Corbin i Cabinet LockNcompany represented by Ca rlisle H. Baldwin, opposed forty l foot Street because of possibilities of factory buildings being built there in fthesf ftitHfe: Charles Unwin said he I'represented d aproperty owners on the corner of Maple and Ellis street was iigih favor of Eforty-foot street He did not believe the street would ever be aSnrincipa1 thoroughfare. He said he was willing to pay the city the same price the city paid when it de- eided originally to have fifty foot street.
 Mir. Downes expressed the opinion that it would be mistake to adopt a forty foot street. MT. Donlon was 1 of the same mind and it was voted ] to give the petitioners for forty foot street leave to withdraw

 imperative
