This will enable the railroad rail-road company to make severa trips throogh the valley daily, ; and thus give the people a much bstter service than they have ever had. Besides, 1 am personally per-sonally in favor of putting the beet grower at any point distant from the factory upon as near as J possible the same basis as the growers who live closer to the; institution ;and to accomplish this purpose I shall advise thedirec- I tors of our company to absorb the greater portion, if not all, the freight charges now being borne j Ogder, July 6. Dnvid Eccles returned to Ogaen this morning from a Hying trip to New York in the iniertet of 'his sugar fac-. fac-. tory interestsand when questioned question-ed as to whether he would care to take the public into his confidence confid-ence regarding the purpose and result of his trip, he very promptly answered. "Sure. There are absolutely no secrets connected with my trip. I simply simp-ly went to New York to consult with my eastern associate regarding re-garding Utah sugar interests in general. During the interview we discussed also the cont2m-plated cont2m-plated factory at LewisUm, and I am now prepared to iy most eaiph&tic'.ly that, notwithstanding notwith-standing contrary published reports, re-ports, our eastern associates will not sake s.uy intsrest in the Lewiston factory, it being cou- oytne grower, la tnis manner it will be a matter of entire indif- j ference at what particular place a given factory is located, be- j cause the cost of delivery will be no greater to the farmer whether 1 the factor is built in his imme-; diate naighborhoed or not." j President loseph Morrell who j is one of the stockholders of the j proposed icwiston sugar fac-1 tory, was seen yesterday con-j corning the interview with j David Eccles. - I Mr. Morrell said: ! "I talked at se me length with Charles "VV. Nibley, president of the company, axnng his visit to Logaa u week ago, and he stated stat-ed thai while in the east, Mr. T. R. Cutler and himself had au exUnded conswltation with ?,r. H&vemeyer, who is at the hed of the sua:ar trust. Mr. sidred entirely uncalled for at t' resent time.

"But supposing the Lewiston factory should go on," said the reporter, re-porter, "notwithstanding the oppo- Nibley told me that Mr. Have-j meyer agreed that the trust! wcSd take one-half of the stock Of the ne-.V company. "Again, Mr.Nibley while here, i showed me aietter he had just; received from Mr. Havemeyer, j which was practically a contract to the same effect, Mr. Have-.' meyer agreeing therain thatthe trjisLwouljli&JssjLj: m the factory, and the only con- dition being "that thetrust should; I be consulted as to the capacity, j of the plant.

I feel quite sure that the statement state-ment that the trust is opposed to our factory is unfounded We have purchased 1500 acres of good land near Lewiston , at a cost of nsarly 100,CCO, and It would be Tolly to believe that the factory wiil not be built in time for next year's run.
