lice of one and YI a half luilus from tilt hotel where tile clivy were kindly shown through that tha t extensive building on approaching the factory from the north one ona notices that it is built of brick that there are three rows of windows one above the other five long low beet sheds and to tile the northeast from the factory a pond where the water is bonded that flows through boxes that run lengthwise length wise through the centre of the sheds the five large streams ot of smoke that were being emitted from that number of smoke stacks told us that the factory was wag still running at this writing we shall not attempt to explain the process of sugar making but simply relate some facts concerning the factory that we think would be most interesting and profitable to the people of our county mr granger superintendent of the factory informed us that about men are employed who work on twelve hour shifts and that they are all from the neighboring towns except about six who are strangers 0 that the pay roll is 1780 per week that men receive from to per lay day that the factory will run from sept to jan speaking of the expenses lie be says saya that fifty tons of coal twenty tons of lime rock and two tons of coke are used dally daily the factory works up from three to three hundred and fifty tons of beets per day making at the rate of ilo pounds of sugar per ton which is equal to seven per cent alkali lands said the superintendent are no good for sugar sugar I 1 beets tile beet must contain sugar sugar for we cannot make sugar we can call simply take it out it was stated that if the beet was stripped of its leaves that it would not contain any sugar this seems rather discouraging to tile the beet raisers of our county as the prospects are that we will have large numbers of grasshoppers next season which are apt to strip the plant of its leaves we believe that the 1780 paid by the sugar ta factory for labor to lehi and lier her sister settlements has had a marked affect in ill causing the people there not to feel the liard hard times like jike we have here and in many other portions of the territory this journal feels to thank sir mr webb mr BIT smith hand and all of the good people of lehi for their kindness and hospitality |
