Announcement to this effect was made Wednesday following meetings of the board of directors of the two concerns. The directors met in Salt Lake and the directors of the Amalgamated , Utah-Idah- o company met in Ogden. The new contracts authorized at the meetings provide for the payment of 1 a ton for the 1917 crop of beets running not less than 15 per cent in sugar content. No other stipulations were made with reference to the payment The officers of the two companies announced that all growers would be treated alike, irrespective of preswnwriwumii ,l vance allowed will add something like $1,500,000 to the bank accounts of the beet growers during the coming yeu In making the announcement of the increase in price of beets, the officials of the companies declared that the action was taken with a view to permitting the farmers to share in the general prosperity of the sugar industry and the country in general. At the present time the sugar companies are paying the farmers from $5.35 to about $6 a ton for beets, depending upon the sugar content This years crop in the intermountain country is setimated at 1,250,000 tons. With the advance in price it is anticipated that farmers will devote a great deal of attention to beet growing during 1917, and that the crop will be increased to the extent of approximately half a million tons.

These four words convey a message of sadness that affects every home not only in Brigham City and the Box Eider Stake, but will reach to every city and hamlet In this part of the state and carry with it gloom and sorrow. No man has lived in this section of the state who was more universally loved and respected than was President Stohl and his long illness has been accompanied by the anxiety of all classes who have constantly sent up petitions to a Divine Providence to raise him up and permit him to live to do good in the earth for many years to come. But the ways of God are not mans ways and President Stohl has been taken home in the very midst of his lifes activities and at a time when It would appear that his presence here is most needed. The end came peacefully at 10 o clock Tuesday night after an anxious period of several days in which his loved ones watched over him and gradually witnessed the dissolution of the wonderful vitality which sustained life under the most adverse conditions for so long a time. While the end was not unlooked for now that it is has come the entire community plunged into deep mourning and universal sympathy goes out to the family who may be assured at this time that the feelings and interest of their friends are being exercised in their behalf. The president began sinking rapidly on Sunday and while those about his bedside fully anticipated that each breath he drew would be the last, yet he lingered on and recognized those about him until Tuesday morning when he lapsed into the sleep and his lie of unconsciousness ebbed away like the slow dropping of the sand in an hour glass. Just before he expired, he opened his eyes, gripped tlje hands of his beloved wife and eldest daughter and framed with his lips the scripture which reads: The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord. President Oleen N. Stohl was a man among men. From his earliest boyhood absolute obedience to the laws of righteousness characterized his life. Guile never fell from his lips and his heart beat true to the principles of purity of thought and moral living while hate never found place in his soul except hate for sin. Broad minded, charitable and forgiving, honest in everything that the term implies, having an abiding symfor others and unfalterpathy ing faith in God, he became the friend of humanity at large and as evidence oi his influence in the world, men, and women who differed with him religiously, pay him the high tribute of being their friend. No man was ever truer to a friend than was President Stohl; it is doubtful if any man was ever truer to the truth than he. Anybody who knew him, loved and respected him while those who were intimately associated with him felt a kinship that was more than a mere blood relationship. The passing of Pres. Stohl Is one of the greatest losses this community and the Stake over which he presided, has ever sustained. His rare gifts and qualities are not easily duplicated and he had become so established in the affect'-a- s of his people that every member of tiie stake will feel a keen personal loss in his passing. He was a man of God who magnified the Priesthood he held, and was a spiritual leader who presided in love and humility, wisdom and justice. In a S2E UJU M l" . business way ln this community, President Stohl was esteemed above his fellows for he was not the kind of a man who delighted in driving a keen bargain but was always actuated by a spirit of trading so that both parties to the transaction profited by the deal. He faithfully clung to these principles in all that he did and was eminently successful as a result. His busy life has been an example to the rising generation who want to know how to succeed. If President Stohl had a fault it was that of denying self the care which his physical being demanded and when urged to slow up a little he would always smilingly rmeind his friends that it Is better to wear out than to rust out He accomplished in hls life a great deal more than most men who live years longer than he did and so he leaves this probation having rounded out his career and experiences and left behind him monuments by the score which will endure as. long as time lasts. X v - President Stohl was born at Sugar House ward, Salt Lake County, on February 19th, 1865. He was the eldest child of Patriarch O. N. Stohl and his good wife,, now deceased. When the baby was about a year and a half old, the family removed to this city which has been their home ever since. As a youth. President Stohl was a dutiful son. He yielded obedience to his parents in all thi igs and was ever considerate of his playmates and all others whom he came in contact with. His inherent industry showed itself early in life for he was no sooner large enough io work than he sought employment For a time he herded sheep on the mountains east of this Cabcity, then went into the Co-o- p inet Shop and learned the trade of cabinet maker and carpenter. While yet in his teens, he went out to Albion, Idaho to accept a position and remained there for two years. While there he was ordained a Teacher on June 7th, 1885 and on the 20th of September of the same year he was ordained a Seventy and called into the ministry of the church being assigned to labor among the people as a teacher. Upon his return to Brigham City, President Stohl took up his profession as a cabinet maker in connection with Mr. J. C. Nielsen who now resides in Salt Lake City, and his faithfulness and consideration won the admiration of his companion who recently bore testimony that he believed Oleen N. Stohl was the best boy that ever lived. When the Logan temple was being erected, he labored there as a carpenter. On October 18th, 1888 the Young Mens Mutual Improvement Association of the Fourth ward was organized with Oleen N. Stohl as its president and he served In that capacity for many years. He attended the district school of this city and also a term at the University in'Salt Lake City, then entered, the teaching profession and taught a school ln this city for a short . term. In 1889 he received a call to fill a mission in Scandinavia and left his home on August 7th of that same year. He labored in Sweden and returned home from hls mission on October 20th, 1891 and immediately began to consider the matter of matrimony. On September 7th, 1892, he was united to Sarah Peters in the Logan Temple, and from that union six children were born into the world. At the fall election of 1892, he was elected County Clerk of Box Elder County and served two years wheji he was for a second term. He had not served many months of hls second term when idency, by Apostle Anthon H. Lund. afWhen the stake was ter President Kellys death, Oleen N. Stohl was made president and was set apart to that office on May 29th, 1905 by Apostle George Albert Smith. He served in that capacity at the time ' of his death. In early life. President Stohl was a member of the brass band and for years sang in the Tabernacle choir. At the time of his death he was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Brigham Young College at Logan, a position he had held for a number of years. When Brigham City was made one school district,. he served as one of the three trustees. In a business way his activities were very great also. He was president of the Stohl Furniture Company and until a year ago was its active manager. He was a director in the First National Bank which he' assisted to organize. He was a director in the Promontory Curlew Land Company which purchased the extensive holdings of the Crocker Estate out on the Promontory. He was the and a director in the Box Elder News Company and was identified in other ways with business enterprises which are established in this state. In his business life, he applied the principle of justice to everything he did and always insisted on a square deal. In his work as President of the Box Elder Stake of Zion, President Stohl was a natural leader. Hls Btrong Reports are being circulated to the that a movement is on foot to effect establish another sugar factory on the east side of Bear River. According to the report, this movement has its beginning with the transfer of the Brigham City sugar factory by the Sugar Company to the Amalgamated Sugar Company and in this transfer, the beet growing territory north of the Harper beet dump has been eliminated and declared to be neutral territory. That leaves the Brigham factory with only the territory from Harper south to the county Utah-Idah- o line. The movement for the new sugar factory is being promoted by local state parties, according to the report, and if successful a new factory will be built in time to take care of the 1917 beet crop. In adjusting the difference between the Utah-Idah- o Sugar Company and the Amalgamated Sugar Company, the former declined to yield the territory north of Harper and a number of prominent farmers of that district are interested In the new sugar factory movement CONFERENCE MEETINGS. Quarterly Conference of the Box Elder Stake will convene In the Tabernacle In this city tomorrow morn ing.

At 7 oclock ln the evening, the concluding session of the conference will be held and there will be a number of visitors in attendence.

PROGRAM FOR FUNERAL On Thursday morning at the Tithing Office, a meeting was held by the Stake Presidency, heads of some of the Stake auxiliary organizations. Bishopric of the Third ward and members of the family, to arrange the program for the funeral services to be held over the remains of President Oleen N.
