Show Mr. Sprunt has come among us and worked hard for the past eighteen months. He has spent the hi ';:(-1 part of a whole year and probably $2000 or $3000 in hard cold cash of his own money to briny about the enterprise-now seemingly almost realized. Against this lie has asked nothing noth-ing but the confidence of the people and a contract which would insure the success of the enterprise if established. Such as any company would ask before be-fore they would consider coming-in. coming-in. He has done all he possibly could to get in a factory and if he fails it will not be gor lack of stick-to-itivness and endeavor. Suppose he does fail. He has made a good fight and we should bear him no ill will. Let's all boost for this new possibility. Spruni Making Good Just now this great valley is basking in the shadow of a great "4 1200 ton sugar factory which is looming un as biV 'as Mt. Nebo, and everything seems to indicate that by spring it will overshadow overshad-ow that great mass of snow and earth. The gentlemen who are taking steps to secure us this immense enterprise, have made four trips among them from Denver and the eastern coast to ascertain our possibilities and the chances of an enterprise of one and a quarter quar-ter million dollars to live and prosper here, to say nothing of the many trips Mr. Sprunt has made between Salt Lake and Delta and to the east. These men who seem .imbued with every ev-ery essence of enterprise and substance to bring about the greatest reality which could possibly pos-sibly happen to us are asking nothing of us in return for the outlay of an immense sum of money, except that we show them that we have sufficient faith in them and the possibilities possibil-ities of our country to guarantee a sufficient acreage of beets to make the venture a success. Has any other beet interests ever gone as far. Have they ever ev-er told us to Secure the acreage and they would do the rest. Not yet. Who is responsible for this great enterprise? Who has kept hammering away for the last eighteen months against tremendous tre-mendous odds and meeting discouragement dis-couragement after discouragement? discourage-ment? Not the people of this valley, but J. P. Sprunt and he alone. We hear his name spoken of slt'tchtin-ly by r.P, who jiiy hi-' hi-' has fooled us so many times, that he is all hot air, etc. I 1 .
