I leaders in the way of installing the latest and most modern methods in the manufacturing of sugar, has jiu-t closed a deal for the installation of a Weller Loading and Reclaiming station. The cost of the plant and ' installation will be in excess of $1l,-000 $1l,-000 and it will be located on the II. A. Christcnsen ranch just east of the bridge and on the south side of the Westviow-Clarion road. The announcement that the plant would be installed was given p. . the station to completion, men yesterday and to the end of rushing be started to work at once anil according ac-cording to the provisions of the contract, con-tract, it will be ready for operatic! by the 25th of September. The loading and reclaiming station will be the first of its kind ever installed in-stalled in the intormountain country. It will have a storage of 10,000 tons of beets and 6,000 feet of rails will be necessary ,to operate for the ton thousand ton capacity. It is so constructed, con-structed, however, that the storage capacity can be increased as the occasion oc-casion demands.
