I 0 IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE AT SUGAR PLANT (COIVTINtTBD FROM PARK OXK> the showing this year will meet the approval of everyone heretofore inconvenienced. Another pump has been added in the sewerage reservoir which pumps d'rectly from the plant to the screen house where the solids are percipi'ated and carried through pipes which have been enlarged from four inches to six inches. Through these pipes, the solids are carried to the settling basin, which is now under construction near the river bank. The big concrete basin, called a Dorr thickener, is similar to those in use in large cities for taking care of sewage. A motor at the top operates three large rakes which keep the floor clear and permits the operation of the apparatus. The overflow basin covers an acre and a half of ground and the wall around it is six or eight feet high. Other Improvements Made ' In addition to this, a number of improvements designed to reduce the sugar loss and thus decrease the solidity of the water and sewage have been made all over the big plant and a system for the closest supervision is being worked out under supervision of E R. Durfy, technical superintendent. The old tanks inside the factory, 7x21 feet in dimension, have been removed and the new ones installed are 9x31 feet.

The big stack Io the mill has been relined with fire brick and a light- < ning-rod added. If there is anything 1 further to be done. Mr. Tuttle assur- i ed the writer it would be taken care I <>f in the next thirty days. The company has employed sixty men here during the siimmre and the semi- ! monthly pay roll has been $6,009. The field men were in session at I the offices of the plant here today, | checking accounts as between the growers and the factory, taking care of labor, seed, etc. It was estimated that 62,090 tons of beets will be cut ! here during the campaign, provided the weather does not interfere too much with harvesting them, which means approximately a sixty-day run. The sugar factory is one of the splendid industries here and the out look for a very good run is ahead. -—— O •" —— WILL ASSEMBLE PAGEANT FRIDAY (COXTi vi:ki> FKOM PACK OXK) Miss Eva Acker.

It will be imitgted, of course! The new, the fine and the beautiful always inspire emulation. But so great is the cost of building the magnificent new Fisher bodies for the Silver Anniversary Buick that imitation will be possible only to much costlier cars, and even these will find difficulty in following where Buick leads! 11,500,000 has been expended in manufacturing the dies alone fur the new Buick bodies: and the gracefully curving side panels w hich form one of their distinguishing characteristics represent the most expensive steel paneling work employed on any automobile in the world!
