Journal Entry

October 24, 1896 ~ Saturday

24 Saturday in company with a whole car load of
Brethren & Sisters I went on the Rail to the sugar
factory at Lehi I found that the company was
improving upon any former year the Last time I wa[s]
there it took 60 seconds to make 100 lbs of sugar today
it took ownly 40 seconds & Beets went as high as 18 per
cent of scearing some as low as 12 per cent but
a small portion below 14 per cent. They were also putting
up a large quantity of Beets for seed for Next Year
The seed they are saving is much better than imported seed

And will be very pleased to have you advise as to what answer we may make to the Bishop. As we have never had such a case come to our attention before We have been down to what is known as the Grover branch situated about 30 miles South and west from Blackfoot on the opposite side of the river. And have selected a man by the name of Geo. Y. Pugmire for Bp. Bro Pugmire is a man about 30 or 32 yrs. of age and came from Bearlake country. And we believe he will make a good Bp. He will be in attendance at our next quarterly Con- ference and can there be set apart by those holding authority in attendance at same.
