EVERYTHING RUNNING
SMOOTHLY At THE SUGAR
FACTORY PLANT

Yesterday was the thirty-fourth day
OF the campaign at the Delta plant of
the Holly Sugar corporation. The
tonnage handled this week was slight
ly below that Of last week, owing to
the fact that the beets were slow in
reaching the dump, due to conditions
in the Delta section and the fact that
the Rio Grande did not handle ship
ments from the lower district prompt
ly.
Superintendent White announces
that the shift will change Monday
that is to say, the men who have been
working days will take the night shift
and the men who have been working
nights will take the day work.
Several head men OF the company
have been in Delta the past week or
more. including r. NJ Daniels. head
chemist, G. NJ. Drummond. general
and Mr.. Schottschneid-
er. master mechanic. These gentle
men expect to leave Sunday on an
inspection trip to other plants. They
state that they are satisfied with the
output and the quality Of sugar be-
ing turned out by the Delta mill.
A large force OF men has been at
work the past week laying about 1,400
feet OF S-inch pipe from the Gunnison
river to the factory, and installing an
driven finch centrifugal
pump at the point Of INTAKE.
Manager Draper informs us that on
Wednesday checks aggregating $175.-
900. less deductions. were mailed to
beet growers OF the Western slope.
This was based on the first payment
of Sc per ton. From indications based
on the present price of sugar. grow
ers will receive from $3.50 to IS per
ton for the 1922 crop.

WOULD BAR PATENT
DEEP WATER TONG

Information has been received here
that use of a patented deep" oyster
tong, with a large grab, in Anne ATun-
del county waters has been disap-
proved by Federal experts. A bill in
troduced in the House by Delegate
Howard. of Anne Arundel. backed by
residents of the West River section,
contemplates employment of this de
vice about Thomas Point.
AS stated in Fridays Evening Capi-
tai, the bill was presented with the
proviso that if the Federal experts re-
ported. unfavorably against taking
these oysters, the bill would be with
drawn. This course. therefore, will
probably settle the matter.
Swepson Earle, engineer of the
State Conservation Commission. went
to Washington Friday TO get the
opinion of DR.. H. f. Moore, acting
Commissioner of Fisheries. Mr.. Earle
said later that both DR.. Moore and DR.
Richard Coker. an oyster expert
thought the areas should not be open
ed to deep longing.

SOLDIERS BONUS BILL
To Be INTRODUCED IN
THE HOUSE LATE TO-DAY
(By The Associated PressI

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Mar 6.-The
soldiers bonus bill will be introduced
in the House late today and formally
reported tomorrow, Chairman Ford
ney announced after an executive ses-
sion of the majority members of the
Ways and Means Committee today.
Chairman Fordney said that the ma
jority at a second session later in the
day would pass on the suggested pro-
vision for adjusted service pay TO the
immediate relatives of men who have
died since from the service or might
die before the legislation comes into
force.
preventative Fordney said the
committee had reason 10 believe that
President Harding was not opposed to
the certificate loan provision written
into the bill and under which National
and State banks under control of the
government would be authorized to
loan TO holders of such certificates an
amount equal TO so percent. of the ad-
justed service pay.
Other members of this committee
said little or no protest had come to
them from bankers or others affected
by this plan. 1t was estimated that
the total amount of money the banks
would be asked to advance probably
would not exceed $500 900 900.

the enforcement of prohibition to the
gigantic work of building the Panama
Canal. and pictured Theodore Roose-
welt saying 1T Will BE Done" and
the dream becoming a reality.
He also said that he considered
arousing the apathetic citizen and the
Gus task the prohibtionists had to
face. The delivery of the lecture was
somewhat affected by the fact that the
Commissioner read it, This was done

being misquOted.
Some high spots from this and
other recent addresses of Commits

Observance OF the law more

If il is a fact that more arrests
are being made for drunkenness
than some months ago, ii is not
