Show A Success. Mr. J.J. llagorman, vice-president of tho Pecos valley sugav company says that tho sugar factory now in operation at Eddy will be enlarged, and another one, three or four times as large, built soon. However, tho building of the new one depends very much upon tht, chat actor of the sugar schedule in the now tariff bill. I ttiiuk it is probable thero will bo a reasonable 8 ecilic duty or raw sugar and an additional duty on refined sugni, nt least equal to tho export ex-port bounty paid by foreign countries. I do not behove the government will miy a bounty ns it did under tho old "Mc- Kinlcy bill, and I think no bounty Bhould be paid. With fair protection I beliovo tho sugar industry can he extended to largo proportions in Now' Mexico. Owing to climatic and other conditions, New Mexico produces the richest sugar beet over raised, and tho demonstrations of this fact, mndoin the I'ecos Valley, is worth" milloiiH to the territory. -i - ft |
