BEET CROP BEATS
SPRING ESTIMATE

Salt Lake, Sept. 2O.-The beet
sugar crop this year, according to
information in the hands OF officials
OF the Utah Idaho Sugar Company,

ates gathered last spring. Figures
compiled show that fully 100000 tons
OF beets will be put through the elev-
en- sugar factories that will be IN
operation by October 10 and 1t Is es-
timated that a force of $500 employees
will be required to operate the plants.
Owing to tho late spring opening
the sugar factories will be somewhat
delayed, but two plants are expected
to be in operation by October l and
tho other nine will be started up as
soon thereafter as possible.
The crop Is reported to have i'm.
proved considerably within the last
sixty days and there are 10000 more
acres of beets under cultivation than
there were last year. The United
States department Of agriculture re-
ports that the yield this year in tons

record OF the Republican party dur.

We pledge our delegates to the

policy of legislative reform and with
the end in view Of saving the State
of Utah several thousand dollars each
year, we pledge our delegates to work
for the enaction of law that will

Taxation is the most important

We believe that equalization

scribe rules OF operation, to insist on

will insure efficient work togeth1

consistent that men who have the

COO of the peoples property and who
are absolute in the assessment OF ov.
er one fourth of the property or the
State, and who can raise or lower
the valuations OF the other three

the people.
We condemn the unbusiness like

 TO OPEN HILLSIDE
 HOME FOR PUBLIC
Visitors To Be Conducted About New Municipal
 Building Next Week.

The finishing touches to Hillside Home Bridgeport's new almshouse, are now being applied and the struc- ture for which the city appropriated S275,O0O will be ready for occupancy July 1. In order that the people of the city may see what has been done, with the money, the building will be open for inspection all of next week.
 Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the various charitable and church or ganizations will be at liberty to i'm spect the new building and invita- tions have been extended by the charities board to members of these organizations to look over the new structure. Thursday and Friday the home will be thrown open for public inspection and everyone is invited to visit the building from i3O to o'clock in the afternoon. The building consists of five units. The administration building is in the center and contains the dining halls, detention quarters for insane and vio- lent cases and the rooms for the at tendants The kitchen is also in the central unit
 To the right or east of the admin istration buildings are the male quar- ters, which comprise three units, each two floors high and allowing 30 pa tients to each floor. One hundred and eighty male patients can be taken care of and the Building is construct ed so that more units can be added as needed
 On the left of the central unit is the female building which consists of one unit so that 50 female patients can be accommodated. The hospital and op- erating room are also in the central unit, as are four double rooms that allow the living together of man and wife.
 The sterilizer, two electric washers, mangler and other equipment have all been installed and provides for the cleanliness of the inmates clothing. Three large furnaces and boilers fur nish the steam heat for the home and in the kitchen all the modern appH- ances that will facilitate the work, have been installed.
 In the basement it has been neces- sary to install a pump to force the sink water into the sewer pipes because the basement is lower than the pipes and in order to have the sewage from this floor carried away, the pump which works automatically, has to be used On the other floors, pumps are not necessary as they are above the level of the sewer pipes,
 The walls throughout the home have been finished in white plaster and have not been decorated, as the appropr1a- ton did not allow of the eNpenol- ture of money for that purpose. Visitors to the home should take inc East Main street car to Old Mill Green, walk north on Asylum street to I.akeview home, and then take the road beside Lakeview home, which leads to the new institution. Attend ants will direct visitors through the building
