BEET GROWERS
SUGAR OFFICIALS
INTERVIEWED

We have been favored with An In
terview with some Of the officials Of
the Beet Growers Sugar Company.
Mr.. A. O. Goodwin. Vice President
and Senator George =. Hill. 0sner-
al Manager. These gentlemen take
sharp exception to IN article appear
Ing In this paper. June 8. and. more
especially that part Of the article
dealing with the promoters and In
ferentially the officials. The objec-
tionable article was written purely
in the interest Of the stockholders.
and without any intent to impugn
the motives Of any OF the officials
Of the company. or any person con-
nected with its management.
After reading the article again
we are free and frank to say that
parts Of It ought not to have been
written. We are personally ac-
Quainted with Hon. James H. Haw-
ley. President Of the company. and
We are chagrinned beyond measure
to have an article appear in this pa
per that has tendency to reflect
upon him or any of his associates
for We are satisfied that he IL al
ways very choice In the selection Of
his associates.
II any of the stockholders, after
reading our article. and In conse-
Quence thereof. formed any unfav-
orable conclusions. We desire to say
that notwithstan dins the wording Of
the article. no such result was In
tended.
1t has been announced that the
Rigby Sugar Factory will not be
built this year. This decision may
or may not be q serious thing. It
may be decidedly to the advantage
Of the stakeholder. and at any rate
the officials We are informed hold
themselves in readiness to give their
reasons for such action which they
have determined IL good. What
stockholders should avoid Is stam-
pede. Having been thoroughly sat
isfied when the investment was
made. II conditions have arisen that
need explanation stockholders should
get next to the officials and 90 into
the entire matter In detail. It should
be remembered that the country IL
at war. material is nigh. labor is
high. and to build under such con-
ditions may be well nigh prohibitive.
At any rate the officials say they
have nothing to hold back. nothing
, to cover up. and under such condi-
tions there Is no reason why any
stakeholder should not be thoroughly
acquainted with conditions. and
thereby satisfy himself as to the con-
dition Of his investment.
This article is not written AZ spon-
sor for the Beet Growers Sugar
Factory. 1t is written because we
want to be fair and Just to all. We
have not one dollar invested in II,
but some of our good ifvtsads have.
and we are DESTROYS that thsir in
vestment be good one.
We hope the venture will be q
complete success. We also have
some good friends at the head Of the
concern. in whom we impose confi-
dence. and far be II for No to desire
to hamper them In the least. create
any mistrust In their enterprise. or
insinuate that they are not doing
and have not done the right thing.
For any words that may have con-
veyed such impressions we extend
our apologies. and trust the officials
OF the company will accept them In
the spirit In which they are written.
and use these columps for anything
they may desire to say to the stock
holders in setting forth their plans
for the future.-The Editor.
