Holly Sugar Corp. Buys 1000 Acres
Irrigated Land From Great
Western Sugar Co.

The largest real estate deal that
has taken place in Big Horn coln-
ty in many years has just been
consummated. Deeds transferring
approximately two thousand acres
of highly improved irrigated land
in the Big Horn valley by the
Great Western Sugar Co. to the
Holly Sugar Corporation have
been filed for record in the Of
flee of the county clerk and re-
corder in Hardin. Fifteen hundred
acres of this land is Immediately
tributary 10 Hardin, some of it
being only a mile distant. Tie
other 500 acres is situated about
nine miles down the valley. All
this land is in a high state of
cultivation and on one tract, stu
ated about three miles northwest
from Hardin, is located the first
commercial gas well vel drilled
in this section of the state. From
this well gas is supplied for heat
ing and lighting purposes to sew
eral of the ranches included III
this deal.
While the consideration has not
been made public, the revenue
stamps on the deeds indicate that
it is in the neighborhood of $780,
600, an average of around slO0
per acre. In addition to this pur-
chase the Holly Sugar Corporation
owns HOO acres of irrigated land
lying Just north and east of the
city of Hardin, and a considerable
acreage of irrigated land in the
st. Xavier vicinity, making the
Holly Sugar Corporation by fai
the largest owner of irrigated land
in Big Horn county.
Work on the construction of
the one and one-half million dol
lar beet sugar factory is pIo-
crossing steadily on the factory
site one mile north and a halt
mile east of Hardin. Due to the
fine fall weather which has pre-
vailed the past three months the
construction crew, which num-
bers in the neighborhood of rs
men, has nearly completed the
pouring of concrete foundations
for the various structures in con-
nection with the factory. The
foundation for the mammoth .5su-
gar warehouse is entirely com
pleted and much of the concrete
has been poured for the main
factory foundation, which will be
80 by 285 feet in size. If the pres
ent weather continues the re-
mainder of the month, the foun-
dations will be ready for the
actual construction of the vari-
Gus buildings early in the spring.
It is the intention of the Holly
to nave the factory completed

Progress on
Court House
Second Story Is Well Along.
100 Men Employed.

Work on the Big Horn county
court house is progressing nicely
during the fine fall weather which
has prevailed the past thee
months. The building, which is
being constructed of native rose
colored limestone, quarried at Lime
Kiln creek, about 40 miles south OF
Hardin, has a frontage on Third
street of 100 feet and extends
back 108 feet on the east side, in
Guiding the county jail. The
structure. including the basement,
which is nearly all above ground,
will be three stories. All four
sides are of cut stone and it is
going to be a very attractive
building. The basement walls are
completed and the concrete floors
are in, and about four feet of the
second story laid. A good part of
the frame work for the partitions
on the second story is in. Up
wards of 100 men are employed
on the building, in the quarry,
cutting the stone and trucking it
in. The building is being. built
as a WPA project at a cost of
$96,650, all but $4,000 of which,
provided by a bond issue, is fur
nished by the federal government.

ARMY Q L
FLOOD CONTROL Meet

ident and DR.. L. H. Labbitt, treas
urer respectively of the Big Horn
Dam association, Hardin; Robert
Yellowtail, superintendent of the
Crow Indian reservation, and
Frank M. Scott of the Indian SER
vice at Crow Agency, together
with two members of the Crow
tribe; George w. Gustafson, Big
Horn county agent from Hardin:
C. A. Corkins, president, and H
W. Bunston secretary of the Two
Leggins Water Users Assn of
Hardin were in attendance.
Called upon by the army colonel
presiding, Supt. Robert Yellowtail
stated that he and the Crow In
dian council were definitely OPP
posed to the building of a dam in
the Big Horn canyon-now or in
the future; that prospecting for
gold is being carried on and that
it is hoped to develop rich de-
posits. He also referred to the
alleged fact that the land On
which the town of Greybull now
stands, once Indian territory, had
never been paid for and referred
to other ways in which the In
dams had been misused. He made
the statement that there is plen-
ty of water in the Big Horn river
for all present irrigation projects
now in operation.
DR.. L. H. Labbitt of Hardin gave
a very comprehensive review of
the development of the Big Horn
dam possibilities to date and the
benefits which would result from
its construction. 1T is also shown
that heavy losses are being exper-
fenced yearly as a result of the
water not being controlled, such
as the washing away of roads,
farm lands, loss Of livestock, bridg-
es and other vested rights of the
people.
The representatives of the Two
Leggins Water Users association
stated that the Two Leggins canal,
the Low Line ditch and the city Of
Hardin have in years past been
compelled to purchase water thru
the Shoshone reclamation project
from the reservoir made by the
Cody dam, and that heavy losses
of crops have also been experience
ed on account of water shortage
in the Big Horn river in this couil-
ty. They stated that dams have
had to be built and yearly ex-
pense Incurred by the irrigation
companies in order to get suf-
ficient water to their headgates.
It was shown that thousands OF
persons are entirely dependent for
their livelihood on a sufficient flow
of water in the Big Horn river
during the irrigating seasons.
The hearing consumed the most
of the day and numerous proposed
projects were submitted for con-
s%ideration from upper Big Horn
residents in wyoming.
