SpreckelS Tells About His Plans for Furnishing
the Sweets of Life.
CHICAGO, April 25.-Claus Spreckels, of
San Francisco, arrived yesterday on his
way to Philadelphia. 81 am going" he
said, ''to start my new refinery, which will
be about the 1st of June. 1t has cost me
S3,OOO,OOO, and is beyond question the
largest in the world. 1t was move 1 had
to make, and since 1 made it am afraid of
no man. company or association in the re-
filming business
Spreckels spoke of his beet suSar enter
prise on the coast, and said thsSeompany
had just paid a 3 per cent divEsend. He
was asked: What is the future of the
sugar beet in America:"
MY own idea is that in few Years we
will import no sugar. Note only does the beet
grow to perfection in California, but it can
be as easily grown here in the central states,
and in Kansas particularly. Saturday last
the few remaining shares of the 100000
stock of the company of which i ewn major
ity, were subscribed in San Francisco. and a
new company formed With these facilities
we shall be amply able to supply America
with beet sugar. After this first year. S
trial We shall go at the business on d
larger scale Ten new factories, at a cost
OF S5OO.UOO each, on the same general plan
as the one already in existence, will be
built in different parts of California. They
will turn out only raw sugar; the product
will be sold to refnerS. The Philadelphia
refinery will not handle this beet sugar.
1t will be wholly devoted to refining raw
sugars, and with both these companies in
operation, l think I can work against any
trust.n

section of land in that territory. This be-
ing the case, he thought it probable thatthe
department would make Oklahoma contest
cases a separate class and dispose of them
at once. Otherwise in the ordinary course of
business, it would likely be eighteen months
or two years before they could be reached.
Contests in which ABANDONMENT is charged
could not be passed upon until after the
expiration of six months, as the law does
not recognize a separation from the claim
for shorter period than six months as an
abandonment, but cases in which fraud or
violation of the law, or of the Presi 1ent's
proclamation, is charged, by going into the
territory prior to April %, could be tried
and disposed of at once.
