Likely to b3 Built This Fall. THIS CHY HAY GET IT. TTtali Sugar Company Springs a Surprise. $500,003 MORE TO BE EXPENDED. Tast Improvements arc Projected the Lehi Factory, on Account of business Outlook. for There was another big surprise at the meeting of the toard of directois of the Utah Sugar company held in this city yesterday morning, says the Saturday Tribune. In addition to arrivingata definite understanding as to the plans to be followed by the company this year, there was also declared de-clared a stock dividend or 25 per cent, which is payable on April 6th. the day of the annual meeting of the stockholders. stock-holders. Fully $500,000 will be expended on the present plant and another one which will be erected in Utah county, probably at Springville, and upon which work! will be at once begun, with the idea of having it in readiness for the coming fall. An ample supply of beets is assured. Manager Cutler is more than pleased with the outlook, and thinns it not improbable that a sugar plant will be erected in this county this fall. Among the improvements for the Lehi plant the building of a scow 100 feet in length to carry building etone, limerock and other materials across Utah lake. The scow will be towed by ;i steam tug and will be operated in connection with railway lines reaching either shore of the lake. While the outlay will be consider able, Manager Cutler says lhat the improvements will be of such a nature as to allow the company to obtain a larger out put, of sugar at a much lower rate than at present, and some of the improvements so far decided u non mav. at some future time, be operated in connection with other en terpribt-s. Speaking of the dividend Mr, Cutler said the successful year Just alwtut to close fully warranted it, but as it had been decided to make the imnrovements mentioned, it was deemed wisdom to distribute the amount in stock and reserve all available avail-able funds for the work to be done this summer. The stock given as dividends was treasury stock and th amount distributed yesterday was 75,000 shaies, which shares now out. The corporation provide makes 375,000 articles of in fur 1.000,000 xeM'jrter.

Mr. Cutler was asked whether he could indicate what shape the Dew plana would take. TWO MOKE FACTORIES. "While the plans are not fully and definitely mat ured as yet," he answered, answer-ed, "I can say that they contemplate branching nut considerably 6o that the annual output of sugar by this company will be very largely increased. increas-ed. The expenditures necessary to perfect tbe arrangements will amount to close upon half a million dollars, that is, when completed, and tbe first steps will be taken immediately. These will Include another plant in Utah county to be put in readiness fortbis season; while it may be late, It is thougM it can be in operation by the middle of October or tbe first of November. Another plant will undoubtedly be erected in Salt Lake y county next year." RAILROAD AND BOAT SERVICE. 'A jauch needed Improvement, and ' one that has been in contemplation for years," said he, is the putting In of a railroad and boat service from the factory across Utah lake to the company's lime quarry at Pelican Point. This has been definitely decided on work will proceed as soon as tbe necessary surveys can be made. This well obviate tbe necessity of a long and expensive wagon haul, and will no doubt open up a new avenue for the transportation of building URE CO.. WgW VOW- rock and other material which will abound in that vicinity; for the lake service a scow will be built, with a carrying capacity of 75 to 100 tons, on the deck of which will be a double track of rails, permitting loaded cars or lime roeK, oct., to be transported with only once handling. The m itive power will be a steam tug. The tola! improvements considered thus far will effect a very large saving sav-ing to the company, besides placing it in a position to protect itself against any possible contingencies.'- MOVEMENTS AT SPItlNOVILLE. Manager T. R Cutler, Superintendent Superinten-dent Austin, an 1 others of the officials of the Utah Sugar Co , were in town, yesterday, measuring the land and water for the proposed sugar factory. The company undoubtedly means business, and Springville will soon have the much desired factory. Mr. Cutler said, in the hearing of The Independent representative, that the machinery to work up this season's sea-son's beet crop would be put in place and ready for use as soon as the crop was ready for the factory. The product pro-duct will not be refined here, but the juice of the beets will be conveyed from the factory here to the one at Lehi, by means of a pipe line, and the refining will be done at that factory. Mr. Cutler stated that the factory would be as large as they proffered to build, with the exception of the refining re-fining machinery, and that next year the Springville farmers would be getting get-ting as much for their beets as their Leni brethren. This is good news for Springville, for it means one more wage troducing enterprise in our midst, which will be a great factor in building up this pretty little city.
