Representation That 2SO Per Cent XV mm Made In Purchase of Plant Is Declared Incorrect. GRANTS PASS Or., June 13. (Spe cial.) Alex Nibley, resident manager of the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company at its new mill in this city, is back from a trip to Salt Lake and Portland with the information that the plant here will be practically the same as that of the modern plants under construction by the Utah-Idaho Company at Brigham City and West Jordan. Alex Nibley said today: Am ban already been printed, my father had decided on severing his connection with the Oregon-Utah company. Before the meet Ir.fc, however, at which he Intended pre senting his resignation, negotiations were opened with the Utah -Idaho Sugar Com pany by which the sale of the property to them was made. The sale Is in the nature of an option, as it Is experimental for a term of two years, the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company having that length of time to run the plant and then decide whether or not it desires to acquire It permanently. If It should not. undr the contract, W. X lb ley agrees to take the purchase .over personally and to refund the Utah-Idaho company ail the money It baa advauced with interest. Regarding the statement printed that the stockholders of the Oregon-Utah had made more than 250 per cent through the sale Mr. Nibley said this was entirely misleading. The entire Issued capital of the company was only $200,000. The purchase price paid by the Utah-Idaho for its assets and all of its property of every description was $lOO. OOO. This sum the Oregon company would distribute among its stockholders, 35 to 40 In number, some of whom had advanced the company cash, others of whom had under written its bonds, and still others of whom had bought the stock on the market at prices varying from $-S to $S0 a share, so that while some would realise a profit, others would stand a loss. Mr. Nibley states that the beet growers and others interested are greatly pleased with the acquistion of the property by the Utah-Idaho Com pany and that the growing crop is in excellent condition.
