In all the negotiations of the Standing of Teams . At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Piute Reservoir & Irrigation company, held in this city Monday afternoon of this week, practically every district was represented either in person or, by proxy, and the Victory theater, where the sessions were held, was comfortably filled. The principal business transacted was the selection of three new directors and the ireports of the secretary and the treasurer. In the selection of the three new board members a slight contest was waged in the third district. A. M. Mrilor, who has served as a member for some time past, Milton Hammond and M. L. Mansfield were nominated. Mr. Mansfield was apparently the favorite as he received, a heavy vote of the stock represented. The other two directors named were C. W. Payne and Joseph F. Peterson, both going in by acclamation. The board of directors consists of nine members and the three new men chosen will serve for a- period of three years. In the absence of S. M. Jorgensen, who is speaker of the house of representatives at Salt Lake, and also president of the Piute company, I. . - W. Oldroyd of Venice; had charge of the meeting. June Webb, who has served, vice-preside- Ihe company for the past several years as secretary, gave a comprehensive report of the operations of the company for the past year. The report was highly commendable and was adopted without discussion or a dissenting vote. It is announced the new board ol of directors will hold a meeting shortly and at that time consisting of a president, president, a secretary and urer, will be named and a new organization effected for the coming year. was in interests business after looking Salina Monday and was a guest at the White House hotel.

No agreement has been entered into with respect to a maximum price. As a result, when the manufacturers felt that the improved conditions in the sugar market would justify a higher price for the year 1927, .and being anxious to secure a .reasonable acreage of sugar beets, they announced that the minimum price would be advanced for this year only to $7.00 per ton. The officers of the association were advised of this and announced through the press that this action had been taken. ' The manufacturers were entirely within their rights in making this agreement to advance the guaranteed since there had at no time any agreement except as to the they might, pay, and this 'was an advance beyond the minimum , fixed. ... .1 All of the manufacturers joined in this move except the Gunnison Val- ley Sugar company, Subsequently, they, announced that the guaranteed to those, who grew beets for would be increased beyond the to $7.50 per ton.
