Setierians Visit . pack anp .6o 11 Coal mining in all its phases, the intracaeies in developement, the formations where the coal beds are found, the building of transportation fatalities, and in fact every point in opening,-andeveloping coal prod perties were studied and information given to a crowd of citizens form Salina and Richfield when they visited some ten of the leading coal properties in Carbon County last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. In the party from Salina were Dr. A. J. Lewis, Dr. C. Leo Merrill, H. B. Crandall, 0. G. Nieelson and Frank Herbert. The Salina men joined the party from Richfield and MJonroe), which comprised H. F. Lewis, general manager, and C.. jJ. Summer, president of the Sevier Valley Coal company, Jesse Bean, Claude Thur-beClifford Nelson, Joseph Ogden, W. B. Pace, Chas. Bean and A. H. .Ackerson of Richfield, and John Webb of Monroe. Leaving Salina the carvan motored to the properties of the Sevier Valley Coal company some eighteen miles up Salina canyon, where a stop was made and the workings of the comapny The journey was then continued to Carbon county. The trip planned and made was primarly to become familiar with the process of coal mine developement and to study the various formations.' Elaborate preparations had been made by the mine managers of several of the largest properties, for the reception and entertainment of the Sevier county delegation and it was carried out to the fullest. At each mine visited arrangements had been made to pilot the visitors through the mines. This was done and every courtesy extended. The visitors were taken through miles of underground workings and the system of mining explained. Ventilation, safety devices, extraction and transportation of coal from mines, tipples, machinery, formations and in fact everything in detail was explained by the various mine managers and superintendents. Not only were the visitors from here given every courtesy by being shown through the mines, but plans had been made and were carried out for the social reception and the guests were feasted at the several homes and cared for in splendid style. The visit to the mines, and the study of the formations, so similar to the formations in Salina canyon, were so convincing to the visitors that all were convinced that the possibilities were equally as ing big coal producing mines in Salina canyon, as they are in the sister county to the east. The party i'etumed home Sunday evening and were loud in the praise of the infor mation gained and for the cordial treatment received at the hands of the coal companies. r, , The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Puite Reservoir & Irrigation company which was held in this city last Monday, proved one of the best and most interesting held since the organization of the company.

The contract provisions agreed upon are practically unchanged from the 1924 contract, excepting that the growers make a gain by the manufacturers agreeing to furnish beet seed at five cents per pound less during 1925. Growers and factory representatives agreed on the terms following a series -of- conferences, at which f it was ' pointed out a large production of beets is essential to the success of the sugar industry in Utah and Idaho. Under the 1925 contracts, payments are to be made on a mimum base of $6 per ton and fifty-fift- y division of the sugar price produced from house factories, filial payments to be based on a graduated scald on the price obtained for the sugar and the sugar content of the beets. These provisions are unchanged from 1924. Factory representatives agreed that the farmers shall have the first right to all the pulp produced. The association of beet growers in turn, is to prevent the commercialization or reselling of the pulp which is to be fed by the farmers to stock on their farms. A11 sugar companies are to cooperate with the local beet association in collecting the two cents per ton due the association for services given the growers.
