NEW OIL WORKS.
A Big Contract to Ship
CoCOanuts.
Samoans Are to Supply the Demand
at the Rate of One Hundred
Tons Monthly.

The King of the Samoan Islands has en-
tered into an agreement with Cotton &
Higgins Of West Berkeley to ship to San
Francisco in schOoners or other sailing
vessels touching at the islands an average
Of 100 tons Of cocosnuts a month. Hard
times in Samoa must disappear. Ships
that touch there will get cirance to secure
fair cargoes.
Mr.. Cotton has been connected with one
of the big oil works Of this city, and MOTTO
ing that the company had corner on the
local cocOanuJ oil market he determined
TO withdraw from the firm and go into busl-
ness for himself. He has done so on
very extensive scale. So quiet, however,
have been his negotiations that very little,
if any, attention has been given to the big
plant he has put in across the bay. Machln-
cry has been purchased, boilers set, and
the railroad com pany induced to build a
spur track TO The new oil works without
exciting much comment, for all that the
West Berkeleyites knew about the plant
was that 'it was built for Mr. COtton's oil
presses"
Higgins & Cotton are now awaiting the
arrival OF TWO of the latest improved
as soon "a th0y are received. Then the
King of Samoa can commence sending In
his cocoaDuts as fast as he likes.
The OIL trust lid much toward trying TO
defeat Cotton & Higgins plans, and for
that reason the firm had to be very secret
i've regarding its negotiations. It drew up
the contract with the Sam0ans, signed it
and closed all transactions without any
one but the parties interested knowing
anything about their deal.
The monthly average of 100 tons of
cocoanuts from Samoa is not the only con-
tract the new oil WORKS has signed. 1t has
arranged to get nuts from other quarters,
and il ia said that there will in a few
months be more cocoanuts in Berkeley
than there are monkeys in Africa.
All the nuts will be unloaded on the
Berkeley side. No special arrangements
have yet been made for receiving the YES
sells that are to fetch them. This oil ex-
tracted will be packed and shipped to the
East and Europe, the cars loading right at
the company's works.
Messrs. Cotton g. Higgins will also
manufacture oil from peanuts, and have
agreed to take several hundred tons of the
nuts from various places when they are
grown. The presses to be used by the
new company are worked by hydraulic
power and are capable of crushing about
ten tons of coroanuts a Gay. They will
arrive a West Berkeley in a few DAYS,
