Show $1,250,000 to be Spent in Delta Water Companies Grant Consessions and Work on Big 1,200-Ton Plant Will Start Right After the Holidays More Beet Growers and Others Needed The sugar company will also take up at once the matter of rates in the delivery of beets at the factory with the railroad officials of-ficials at once. Mr Stearns also assures us that machinery for the new factory fac-tory has been ordered to the extent ex-tent of a quarter of a million dollars contingent upon the satisfactory satis-factory arrangements regarding title. Attorney Hartman left yesterday yester-day for a couple of days' stay in Salt Lake where he will complete com-plete the legal matters pertaining to the factory. He, with Mr. Stearns, Mr. Goodwin and Mr. Sprunt wish to thank the citizens citi-zens of Delta and community for their kindness and courtesy during dur-ing their stay here and also to extend their best wishes and ap-preciatiation ap-preciatiation to those who worked work-ed with them in matters of interest in-terest to the new factory. For the benefit of those who have not kept in touch with the factory matters we will conclude con-clude by saying that it will be of 12,000 capacity and the acreage signed up for its operation is 10,000 acres. It can handle in the neighborhood of 15,000 per day if required. The factory will emplcy in the neighborhood of about three hundred hun-dred men when it is in operation besides the field labor which will be required to take care of the crops on the farms. The power plant at the factory will have a capacity of something like 1,500 horse-power and there will be a large stock feeding yards adjoining adjoin-ing it. The company will also put down a number of artesian wells "as supfehYeritary'water" supply. Already the country has begun to feel the impetuous of the new enterprise and within the next few months Delta will come into its own and begin assuming the proportions which men of far seeing have predicted as the biggest big-gest and busiest city between Salt Lake and Los Angeles. What is the most needed now is the proper local spirit behind this big start. Every man should put his shoulder to the wheel and boost and support every local enterprise which is and is to be. in a liberal way and forget any little petty difference he may entertain. If this is done we will soon be enjoying a large measure of prosperity and get our community on the map as a royal booster place, and one that is doing well and wants others to do well. If we will only do these things we will soon have things coming our way and be one of the liveliest sections on the map. Watch Us Grow Last Monday the last obstacle in eight in the way of the new-sugar new-sugar factory was removed when at the meeting of the Melville Mel-ville Irrigation Co's stockholders the proposition of diverting the water for use at the factory was satisfactorily passed upon by the company. While there are yet a number of legal proceedures to be attended to in perfecting titles tit-les to land and water and the consent con-sent of the bondholders is yet to be obtained in some instances, sailing seems very clear to those with the matter in charge and to the layman. The granting of the water by the Melville Irrigation Co. is a source of great satisfaction to all the community there being but small opposition to the resolution as it was presented and the vote of the company's stockholders was made unanimous before the meeting came to a close. This move has secured for the people of this valley one of the largest sugar factories built and means the rapid advancement of all this great valley. It gives to the people who are to build it a great deal more confidei C in the country and the people here and brings to the whole intermoun-tain intermoun-tain country an interprise of great value and a liberal bidder for the produce of its farms. We. as a community "greatly appreciate the e Herts of Messrs Sprunt. Goodwin. Stearns, Hart-man Hart-man and Jiers who have been instrumental in bringing to us this immense enterprise and will endeavor -in the future, to show our appreciation in every way possible. Mr. Sprunt is especially deserving de-serving of a vote of thanks for the tenacity he exhibited in sticking to the job when everyone every-one else had given up the ghost and lain down. Mr. Sprunt met with opposition and discouragement discour-agement time and time again, but thru it all saw the factory in the distance and never lost sight of it or turned to the right or left. Plans and specifications are now in hands of the contractors for a twenty-roomed club house to be two stories and to be made of brick, also for an office building build-ing of two stories and to be made of brick, of some fifteen rooms or thereabouts. Bids are also ; being asked for for two six-; six-; roomed residences. These w 11 also be on the factory site and ; will be erected as soon as the title for the land and water have ! been fully made good. This it i is said will be not later than I January 0th. I Monday morning Supt, Nutt, ; Asst. P. and F. Agt. Warner, ! and a number of other S. L. Route officials came to Delta in a special car and looked over the factory site and the railroad and assured Mr. Stearns that a siding sid-ing to the factory would be cut into the main line from the east side, a proposition which the officials of-ficials had heretofore refused to grant. The matter of running this spur to the factory site will be the first activity taken and . will be started as soon as the company can get their men to j work at it. |
