THE SUGAR WORKS. The late Matthew Arnold considered sweetness and light the two great essentials to a superior civil ization. Had that learned gentleman lived until the present and visited Utah on Dec. 26, 1890, his soul would be gladdened by sugar and sunshine, equivalents in every respect to the sweetness aud light of the philosopher. With all their greatness and luxury the ancient Greeks and Romans never tasted sugar. They had a vague idea that such an article existed. Theophrastus, a Greek, speaks of it as "honey in rushes." The Latin poet Lucan speaks of it as a curiosity. In India and in China sugar was produced at a very remote period. In August, 1889, the Utah Sugar Hill, Joseph W. Summerhays, Company was organized with a James P. Freeze, Herbert Folger, capital stock of $1,000,000, in 100,- Oliver Hodgson, Hyrum Groesbeck, 000 shares at $10 each. The board H. A.

Leavitt, and representatives of Cannon, Moses Thatcher, Heber J. the press. Grant, Abram O. Smoot, John Beck, A. E. Hyde, T. R. Cutler, James Jack, James Chipman, L. G. Hardy, Elias Morris, Francis Armstrong, Arthur Stayner. The president of the company is Elias Morris, vice-president George Q. Cannon, secretary Arthur Stayner and treasurer Thomas G. Webber. On arriving at the sugar works the Lehi silver band, the Lehi choir and Lehi glee club, under the leadership of Mr. Gibb, entertained the assembly with choice selections while the order of exercises was being arranged. Elias Morris called the meeting to order. In the opening speech Mr. Morris said: "We have met Dec. 26th, at 11:20 a.m. the Rio today, the 26th of December, 1890, Grande Western Railroad furnished to lay and dedicate the corner stone a special train to convey some 150 of the Utah Sugar Factory.

The occasion of the special succeeded in disposing of sufficient of the twelfth century. Later on it was planted in Madeira, and early in the sixteenth century planted in the West Indies. But raw sugar was not formed from the cane until the middle of the fifteenth century. The art of refining sugar was dis covered by a Venetian about the middle of the sixteenth century. The first sugar refinery which comes within the province of history was established in Dresden in 1597. It was supposed that cane alone could produce sugar until 1747, when a German chemist named Marggraff produced sugar from beets and other vegetables. About the year 1800 the manufacture of beet-root sugar was established as an important industry in Silesia. At present the beet furnishes the greater portion of the sugar consumed in Europe. In 1868 600,000 tons of beet-root sugar was produced in Europe. In 1871 the article was imported into England. The beet contains on an average about 10 per cent of sugar. train was the laying of the corner stock of the company to warant them to commence this great enterAt Lehi the train was received prise, that is the mancfacture of at the depot by the Lehi Silver sugar from beets raised in Utah. band, discoursing lively music.

The scene showed that the people of Lehi, American Fork and Pleasant Grove were not asleep to the importance of the event. Among the Salt Lake visitors to as much enthusiasm as you have to-day, our success is assured. The only question that arises now is the raising of the beets.

A vast amount of means are required, however, and if you will look over the foundation now built you can form some idea of its magnitude. The great question will be the beeis.

"If brevity is the soul of wit, we have a set of very witty men here today. I feel proud to stand on this corner-stone. Utah certainly possesses every facility to make this enterprise a success. There has been much said about sugar, and now I want to say something about vinegar. This factory can produce sufficient vinegar from the waste saccharine matter to supply all of Utah. This is not all; but other industries will follow. We hear of other States making sugar successfully, and by the help of heaven we will do it." The exercises were closed by a choice selection by the choir and music by the band. Mr. Morris then thanked all who had taken part in the ceremonies, and the Salt Lake guests were taken in carriages to Lehi, where a collation sprea in Garf's Hall, under the supervision of Mrs. Woodhouse. The room was soon was filled, and several hundred persons enjoyed the hospitality of Lehi's citizens. Mayor Samuel Taylor of Lehi, acted as master of ceremonies, and a dozen of Lehi's handsomest maidens acted as waitresses.

There is little fear, however, that Mr. Gould While he will be overwhelmed. was out of the stock market the interest on his bonds and the dividends on his stock accumulated into a huge pile of ready money. It was said when he began buying stock recently that he had $20,000,000 or $25,000,000 in cash in the different trust companies in New York. He was, therefore, able to pay outright for the securities which he bought. Money is coming in to him all the while from his securities and he will be able to endure any financial convulsions that may ensue. The latest estimate of Gould's wealth at its actual market value is as the $75,000,000. "On paper," term is used in Wall street, it foots up a round $100,000,000, but if it were to be liquidated, or in other words, disposed of at existing val uations in the stock market there would be a shrinking of 25 per cent, so that this decrease must be deducted in making up an estimate. Mr. Gould's fortune is more subject to variation than any other of the great fortunes. It is almost wholly composed of the stocks and bonds of various railroads and the Western Union Telegraph Company. As the prices of these securities rise and fall in the vacillations of the stock Mr. Gould has said that he would market, so also his fortune rises and never again be a borrower of money. falls.

Adding the present Mr. Gould believes that in time-paper value, which would in the It was not until he entered Wall Street that his fortune assumed any particular proportion. His earlier ventures, in fact, were failures rather than successes. Once in the financial centre he demonstrated his peculiar ability for money making." There were times when it seemed as if he were in a "corner," but he displayed the knack of extricating himself when other men under similar circumstances would have gone to the wall. There never was as skillful a manipulator of stocks. His operations since he returned to Wall Street, less than a month ago, have shown that he lost none of his adeptness during his absence. The market lately has been undeniably in his control. It must not be supposed that Mr. Gould is able to turn the whole course of speculation, for that would take almost the wealth of the universe. The New York market is subject largely to the financial situation in Great Britain and other countries and to the yields of the earth. What Mr. Gould is able to do is to move individual stocks and to accentuate the fluctuations in the general market. This power, it can be readily seen, may be utilized to his great personal gain. It is understood that Mr. Gould will follow the example of Commo dore Vanderbilt and leave the bulk of his fortune to one person-his eldest son, George J. Gould, to whom he has given an excellent training in financial matters. Gould, sr., is not a member of the New York stock exchange, where his financial operations have principally been conducted. His son George and his next youngest son Edwin are both members, although they spend little time on the floor. Geo. J.Gould is not to be seen there once a year. He is steadily occupied at the offices of his father in the Western Union building directing the widespread Gould interests. His work relieves Jay Gould of the details of the operation of the various companies controlled by him and leaves him free to develop new schemes. secret of Mr. Gould's success has Sutherland and Judd lost no time in He has a palace built of logs in The anger of Apponyi was welthe midst of a tract of 500 acres in nigh unbounded, and he emphatithe wildest and most picturesque cally protested that he would not part of the Catskill mountains.
