WITH THE PROSPECTS
To Whom It May Concern:

To Whom It May Concern:
This is to certify, that we the undersigned resi-
dents and citizens of Franklin County, Idaho, purch
ased stock in the Beet Growers Sugar Company
through J: W. johnson. That at the time we made
said investment Mr.. Johnson made certain represer
tations to us concerning the reliability and integrity
OF the officers of the company, and also concerning
the natural resources consisting of good land and an
abundance OF water surrounding Rigby where the
factory building OF said company is located, suffi
Gent to insure its success. cP7
That since we have invested in the Beet Growers
Sugar Company, various persons in our county have
questioned the integrity Of the Companys officials
ana claimed the Rigby country was poor and not
able to support sugar factory.
These statements having been made, we as inter-
ested parties asked Mr.. johnson concerning them,
and he suggested that we go to the Rigby country
and investigate for ourselves We did this and ar
Travelled over SO miles the country from which
beets will be grown for the Rigby factory, and we
have never seen finer agricultural good beet land
In our lives and we claim to know what this should
consist OF. We did not find single spot Of alkali
on the whole territory. The drainage is good, the
soil is OF sandy loan, of good depth, and there Is
an over abundance Of water to irrip1lte all of the
land in this part Of the valley
The Great Feeder Canal that furnishes water for
this country is over 100 feet wide and about 10
feet Deep and would be designated as river in any
other country. The farmers own these canals and
lands, and the country is well settled and seems very
prosperous. Rigby is a thriving city of about 1000
inhabitants and the seat Of jefferson County The
surrounding country has been settled for about 80
years, and we believe there is sufficient labor to
grow beets for the Rigby factory In fact there is
room in the country we went over, and sufficient
fine well cultivated land TO support half dozen fac
tories, and we believe in time will do so.
We visited the factory site and were well pleased
at the lNge amount Of construction work that has
been done: Over 40 car loads Of STEEL cement brick
machinery, lumber and other supplies have been
delivered on the ground, and we assured by the
management that is the intention to push the fac
tory construction to early completion as possible
The foundation for the main factory piers. ware
house, and boiler room, lime kiln machine shop.
drain or sewer and sio, is well along with all fou-
ations in, and some walls up one story grading for
trackage is all completed and teegraphic instruc-
tions from Washington to o. S. T. officials. which
we saw. satisfies us that the railroad company will
install the trackage without delay when heavy steel
and machinery we were assured, would be delivered
In short, we are more than pleased and fully sat
is fled at what we found regarding the Beet Grow
ers Sugar Company both as to its officials its fl
nances the factory construction work, the agrcul-
tural resources of the country surrounding the fec
tory site for Is miles on all sides, and everything
that goes to make the enterprise success, and we
make this statement without mental reservation and
freely and voluntarily to set at rest the many false
and malicious stories that have been circulated
against this enterprise and we believe to deliber-
atey inlure it. The enterprise is worthy the conf
dence of the public and as far as we can learn after
full investigation is clean and honestly conducted
