) Deep Conspiracy CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE / litre is a thunderin' big pile of money and if jiidiclmifly expended builds a mighty big factory, but when we three started In across the plot of ground and begat, io size up wnat was going on and/Senred what the completed ‘ outfit ot an uieto-tlie-inHiu'-'' plant was, then revised our opinion and rather ’tendered if the sugar ' people didn't utve some spare change, In addition to the übme «uui,- lying around where they could find it handily. There are about thirty acres of ground down there, and if the sugar people aren't Wirelal they 11 have w reduce the size of some of the buildjugs or else arrange Io take lucks lithe overlaps. Upon approaching the 1 first buildings, the steel frame 1 v hlcti is awaiting its brick coat, we ! ' found it 65 feet wise ’“d 166 feet 1 long, and it Is the beet pulp house. In ' line with it is the main machinery ’ building, which is 65 feet wide ami 360 feet long, and Is about a mile ' high, its hup steel frame now covs cred with human ants, pounding and ’ hammering and laying brick and set--3 ting heavy machinery, and just beyond it is another building 65 feet : wide and 232 feet long, which Is the warehouse for the finished product, 1 and by the slue of these is the boiler ' house, 41x113 feet, and the machine ' shop, 42x46, and engine house, 42x51. and a stack going up that is about the ’ size of the Washington monument, and work commenced on the building still further east that is for beet storage, 240 feet by 750, and so forth and so on, It all looked pretty good co we three. I assure yon, and it is going to take a lot ct beets to keep that thing going and somebody has got to raise the beets or nothing doing, it seems to us that If the sugar people plank down near a million dollars and know that to get return on that million dollars and t: justify the paying out of the enonnqps cost of operating, , tha they must depend on good old Adams county farmers to furnish the raw material that makes it all possible, then they also surely reason that the farmers are going to be mighty well taken care of and by the same token it looks pretty leasonable to we three that our good old Adams county farm ers should make fust such an effort sc as tp show results on their part.
