Show IMPORTANT CHANGES AT LOCAL SUGAR MILL "Ecpnomy In Operation'' 'is the slogan adopted by Supt. Gardner In overhauling tho factory this summer. It is woll known that tho Lohl mill! bolng tho llrst to bo equipped, Is not supplied with all tho latost labor saving, sav-ing, money saving, and timo saving devices as aro somo of tho nower factories, it Is tho policy of tho management, however, to roplacd tho old machinery as rapidly as It 'woars out with modoru equipment. Tho biggest Job bolng attempted this season Is tho Installation ot a dry vacuum system of operating tho ovaporating pans instead ot tho old wot system. Ono ot tho hugo pans Is bolng convortod Into tho Calandrla typo. This stylo ot pan has vortical tubes instead ot tho horizontal spiral kind. Tho adoption ot this typo ot pan Is in accordance with tho superintendent's super-intendent's plan of economy as tho Calandrla pan nets a consldorablo saving of steam over tho old sort. In order to Incroaso tho prcssuro ot water at tho "battery," tho Bupply tank has boon raised about six feet. Tho Ilumo which conducts wator from tho pond to Ui'o mill has boeli considerably con-siderably enlarged. Tho small air compressors havo bcon roplaccd by a largo one brought from Delta. Tho bnttory Is to receive a now system of chains which will cnablo It to handlo tho pulp moro rapidly. Tho sugar company has supplied considerable loss each season from leaks that occur in tho plpo lino leading lead-ing from tho sllccrs at Provo and Pleasant Grove. It npptars that tho alkali in tho soil attacks tho metal ot tho plpo, corroding It so badly ns to cnuso numorous leaks. Many sorts of coatings havo been tried In an effort to ovorcomo tho damaging effects of tho alkali but no remedy hus boon found at tho present. A now coating Is to bo tested out this season, a coating to consist of soveral layorsof .., A .. .1 All 1 1,1 mime suiuruiuu aim eoiuuoriiuuu wuu tar.

Tho boot crop Is somowhat lator this year In maturing, making it necessary to postpono tho commencement commence-ment ot tho campaign a fow days lator than last year. Not only will tho run likely commonco later but It Is also apt to closo earlier on account of tho smallor acrcago ot boots planted plant-ed by tho farmers. It Is fortunato for 1,'elil that a run will bo mado. Somo of tho mills will not opon this fall. |
