Hamilton, May 12.-(Special) 1.-The
slow and laborious task Of putting in
the concrete foundations for the big
refinery which the Montana Utah
Sugar company is building in Hamil-
ton has almost been completed, and
before the summer is well advanced
the steel framework of the plant will
have begun to rise. Even the contrac-
tors are surprised at the progress
which has thus far been made. They
are well ahead of their schedule and if
their present good fortune continues
will have the factory ready for opera

Natural conditions are thanked by
the builders for the progress that has
been made thus far. The sand and
gravel for the concrete work, which
ordinarily has to be brought long dis
tances at an expense of time and
money, was secured by the builders
while they were making excavations
for the foundation. This factor greatly
facilitated the building operations and

, forced concrete. All OF it Will be con-
crete or brick.
Steel for the framework and the re-
enforcement has already begun to ar
rive, we'll ahead of contract time dc.
spite the demand which the war is
making on the steel industry. Two
carloads of building steel are now in
the yards at Hamilton, awaiting un-
loading. They were shipped so long
ahead OF time that no arrangements
for unloading had been made.
Machinery on the Way.
The machinery will soon come, it is
thought. All Of it will be Of the latest
and best sort. Indeed, the Hamilton
factory will make some plants built
not many years ago seem Anticipated.
Automatic machinery will replace hand
labor in many parts of the plant From
the moment the bects arrive at the fac
tory from the field until the sacks of
sugar are Delivered at the tracks for
loading, human hands will not touch
the product. Every stage in the process
of refining the beet juice into sugar
will be managed by machines.
One of the most important me-
chanical advantages which the Ham,
ilton plant will have it a device which
makes the old beet dumps obsolete. In
most factories the wagons brin giny the
beets in from the fields have to drive
up on high trestlcs and dump their
loads into pits. In the Hamilton plant
the WAGONS will dunn at ground level

onto conveyor which will carry the
beets into the factory and deliver them
to an automatic cutting machine.
Dream is Realized.
The realization OF the Bitter Root
valleys old dream of a sugar factory
out the territory which will support
the new factory. Farmers everywhere
in the valley are cooperating eagerly
with the sugar company to make the
plant q success. Thirty seeding ma
chimes. the best on the market, arc
now working on the vast acreage
which will be devoted to beet culture
this year. These machines will plan
about 10 acres Il day, and the agri-
culturists Of the company expect to
have 1000 acres seeded in about two
weeks.
Despite the other agricultural activ-
tiles of the Bitter Root the farmers
are rallying Loyalty to support Of the
new industry. Realizing that the sugar
factory is going to stimulate the whole
valley with a new and successful In
dustry of prime Importance to the
farmers. the beet growers arc working
hard to get in big crops.
The experts of the company are de-
lighted with conditions in the valley.
They say that land here should raise
about Is tons Of bets to the acre,
with Il sugar content of IS per cent.
That will mean an average return Of
500 an acre.
