First Steel for New Sugar
Plant HOiSted to Position

The first steel used in the construc-
ton of the Montana Utah Sugar COM
pany plant has been raised and placed
The accompanying cuts show the
steel in place and the derrick used to
raise it. The building for which the
steel is being placed is the warehouse
The derrick boom is a mammoth con-
trivance 100 feet in length. 1t has
been named Governor sspry' in honor
of the president of the company, and
when that distinguished gentleman ar
rived he hoisted the flag on the pole
which had been attached to the boom
for that purpose. The derrick will be
used in placing the machinery in the
various buildings.
The 150-foot concrete stack is being
built rapidly. Already 30 feet have
been erected. 1t is made entirely of
reinforced concrete and is being
poured in sections of 7is feet at time.
Superintendent Eastburn, who has
charge of the construction. says he ex-
poets to have the stack completed so
that he can spend the Fourth Of July
with his family in New York.
There will be approximately LOO
feet of sewer pipe. two thirds of which
has already been laid. The rest will
be placed in the course of the next
few days. This pipe will carry all the
factory waste from the factory to the
river.
About 10 cars Of cement have al
ready been used thus far in the vari-
Gus foundations and IL more must be
used before the structures will be COM
plete. At present the workmen are
building forms for the machinery
foundations. Each separate piece of
machinery must have a concrete base.
When these have been prepared the
work will go forward much more rap
idly.
In building the factory it was neces-
sary first to eXcavate. then place the
foundations and piers and when these
had been prepared the excavations
| were filled in. This is the part of the
| work which takes so much time, good
progress being scarcely perceptible
Now that the steel is being raised il
| will be much easier to note the prog
ress. When the steel has been placed
the walls will be bricked up and the
machinery installed.
! More than 100 worlsmen are en-
| ployed at the factory and this fore,
\ must be augmented in the next few
weeks. as the first shipment of boiler
steel Is expected any day.
