so you'd better think about It,"
Uncle Ben did think about it, and
mused to himself; well, If l had re-
solved long ago to get married, I'd be

his best bib and tucker and started to
church AS he turned the corner he
met Widow Bender.
"Well, Uncle Ben, Happy New

everything was very still. Only
the beautiful chords of the or

around the pillars and the pulpit

Sometimes the notes of the

Sugar Beet Factory Can
Be Retained Here
New Company Gives Western Nevada Chance
To Hold Big Industry. A Question
of Beet Culture

Can western Nevada support tic
Fallon sugar plant? 1t is a direct
question to the whole west end of
this state, in fact to all of the sec
lion that freights are equitable.
Last Friday evening Fred Hinze,
the original builder of the Fallon
sugar factory, together with Mr.. John
Ryan. came to this city to look over
the plant and figure the possibility
OF resuming operations another year.
Members of the chamber of com.
merce were advised of the arrival and
the proposition and President Bena-
DUN called a special meeting Friday
evening.
Plant Is Sold
Mr. Hinze at the outset stated that
The Fallon plant has been sold out
right to the Northwestern Sugar Re-
timing Company. a California cor
poration that is in the business cf
manufacturing beet sugar at several
points along the coast.
The new company is headed by
r. II Moore, who is president and
general manager; John L. Howard,
owner of the Howard terminal in
Oakland, is vice president; E. r. Sud-
den, owner of the Sudden Lumber
Company, is treasurer, and John
Ryan, secretary; w. H. Ellison, in
addition to the above. is a director
A Business Proposition
After Mr.. Hinze had explained the
transfer and the concession that had
been made to give Fallon and Nevada
a chance to hold the plant Mr.. Ryan
made statement to this effect:
The plant has been purchased as
purely a business plan. The values
as given are in the plant and unless
sufficient beets can be grown in this
section to warrant the operation the
machinery will be taken from the
present housing and moved to a point
in the Sacramento valley This val
ley and section Is given a chance e
secure 1000 acres of beets and 4
this provision is complied with the
plant will be run this coming fall.
Mr.. Ryan stated that the company
is not placing any stock or asking
concessions but is in financial con-
dition to make the usual advances on
hire and seed. As he stated it is up
10 the people of Nevada to hold this
factory within the state.
Industrial Asset
Mr.. Ryan stated in the course Of
his short address that such a plant
running would mean the distribu-
tion of half a million dollars annual
ly to the place of operation. At the
same time it means assessed yalua-
tion to the tax roll of this county.
He was very candid in his remarks
and stated that it was his business
