BEET SUGAR AT STOCKTON.

Claus Spreckels Looks at Lands and
says He VIII Build a Factory.
STOCKTON, Nov. S.-That Clau:
Spreckels has plans which will insure
to the benefit of Stockton, was made
evident by his actions while in the
city today OstensibIy he came in
connection with the building of the
Valley road, but the principal portion
of his time today was spent in looking
over the country to the west OF the
city, with view to purchasing some
of ii for the cultivation of the sugar
beet.
The title of The Sugar King as
given to Mr.. Spreckels is not TO be lost
iu the title which comes to him as
the President of the Valley Railroad,
and il Is the intention of the Sugar
King" to build other beet-sugar fac
tories in California, one of which will
be located in Stockton. This after
noon while other visitors made trip
TO the front to watch the workmeu at
their track laying, Mr.. Spreckels took
a drive OF tbirty-five miles about the
country west of the city, visiting pOr-
tiOns of Roberts and Union islands,
where the rich, fertile lands have
been reclaimed, and where there are
other acres, just as rich to be reclaim
ed. The ,mpaniou Of Mr.. SpTeckels
on the trip was Thomas Magee, who
il acknowledged to be one of the oest
judges of lands in the State, and
whose articles on the uses to which
lands in California may be put, have
received wide publication.
When asked regarding bis hard
drive, which he acknowledged was
not one of pleasure, Mr.. Spreckels
said: "We have been looking at land
that is suitable for the cultivation of
the sugar beet. | shall, some time
soon, build other factories for the
manufacture of beet sugar in Cali
forDia, and all things considered |
Gated for the establishment OF one of
them here.
"The reclaimed lands at which we
were looking today are capable of
raising beets with large percentage
of sugar in them. In fact, there is
little trouble in raising them in Cali
fornia. ID and about Stockton there
is so much land of the reclaimed
character and so much more that can
be reclaimed that | consider the city
an advantageous position for such a
factory. Besides that there is the
idea of making business for the new
road"
Where will the factory be located?"
Here"
"But whereabouts in Stockholm
"Oh, that is something for future
consideration. / have not fully una
tured the plans, but may have some
thing of interest to say on the occasion
of my next visit"

A THANKSGIVING DINNER
Typical of Everything Grown in
all the Lavish Summer.

Mrs. Burton Kingsland, writing
in Table Talk, says: In the year
of grace, 1894, Thanksgiving din
ner was given by descendant of
the Puritan pilgrims to twenty
four of her kinsfolk, which was
significant of its almost boundless
resources.
"A typical Thanksgiving dinner
represents everything that has
grown in all the lavish summer. fit
to make glad the heart of man, y
says Beecher, and the hostess was
mindful of his words.
In the center of the table was a
large silver tray, piled high with
apples, pears, grapes, oranges, ba-
nanas, LADY apples" nuts encased
In their green sheaths, and the
whole artistically decorated with
vine leaves. At either end was a
sheaf of wheat two feet high, in the
center of which bloomed American
beauty roses-life's luxuries based
on Its necessaries-and at the four
corners horns of plenty made of
very fine straw, out of which tum-
bled hot-house grapes and fine Cal
ifornia fruit. AT each place there
was tiny box of red, white and
blue satin, containing, besides the
bon-bons, five grains of corn, in
memory of the starvation times of
New England.
The menu was fin de steele
adoption of the traditional fare
Blue Point Oysters, Gumbo Soup,
Boiled Cod, Eggs Sauce, Terrapin,
Boiled Turkey, Oyster Sauce;
Roast Turkey, Stuffed with Chest
nuts; Cranberry Sauce, Sweet Po-
tato Croquettes, Celery, Boston
Baked Beans, Corn Fritters, a
Haunch of Venison, with Currant
Jelly Ia souvenir in honor of Mas
sasoit), and Canvasback Ducks,
with Celery Mayonnaise.
The large pumpkin pie was
wreathed with golden chrysanthe-
NUNS, and, with the turkeys, shar-
ed the chief distinction of the feast.
Huckleberry pies, Indian pudding
and ice cream, in the form of a
large American eagle, were follow
ed by fruit, nut candies, and tea in
lieu of coffee-their ancestors hav-
ing vindicated the right to drink
it. Besides the new cider, only
California wines and the native
mineral waters were served.

The Government has concluded
to have the methods of the persons
engaged in securing Chinese labor

agents in China pursue in order to
secure consent of persons to come

posing that the game is played as it should
be played, for as a slugging match it is
intolerable, not TO say useless. What,
then, can be done? Simply require the

this the players themselves can bring
about. 1t can be done, and it should be

AS the saying goes, let an escaped con-
vict alone and he will sooner or later re-
turn to his old haunts. To a certain
extent the same is true OF pugilists, who,
through some row or other, have left their
shows or managers, as the case may be.
In recent letter l told of tho
split-up between Tom O'Rourke and
George Dixon and predicted that it
would not be long before they would
shake hands and make up again. just so
is the case. At the time, you will remem-
ber, the facts OF the case were not known
to anyone, but now find them to have
been as follows: After Dixon had fought
his 25-round draw with Young Critic he
felt so elated that he concluded 10 cele-
brate, and, contrary TO his usual custom,
imbibed too freely, and as business with
his speciality company was inclined to be
slack, he took IL into his head TO take
little vacation. So accordingly he wired
Mrs. Dixon, who was at the
time in Everett, Mass.-she is a white
girl--to meet him, and in the
course OF few days brought up in Bos-
ton. IL was only fora short while, how
ever, and then he came to his senses. He
wired O'Rourke, who had proceeded with
the show with Joe Walcott as the star,
that he would join the company as soon as
possible. To makea long matter short, he
u now with the company at Buffalo, and
affairs are running az smoothly a. ever
There Is no truth in the statement that he
aud O'Rourke had falling out, but the
whole difficulty rested I'm what have

As you are reading this, the great match
between Peter Maher and Jim Hall will
have been decided. At the same time
take the liberty OF saying few words of
meeting between John j. Quinn, Maher's
backer, and Jim Hall, on the morning OF
this writing. Hail. looking spick
and span, six feet two, walked into
well-known cafe and shook hands
with Quinn. "How are you, Mr.. Quinn,
am glad TO know you. 1 can't wish you
success, or you would put me down as a
liar" "Right you are, Mr.. Hall" replied
Quinn, "but as far as success goes / have
every confidence that 1t will come our
way" After half an hours chat as to
who should be referee, Hall and his
manager took their departure. As they
passed out of the door, Quinn turned and
said: "Gosh, but he's strap
per. He's gained about a ton since saw
him last, but Peter will lick him anyway,
and the worst he will get, at all events, is
a draw" / take more stock in Qninn's
predictions than in those OF almost any
man j can name. He has been an ardent
admirer OF pugiiism for years, and knows
the ropes from A to Y. This tip comes
too late for you, but i have taken advan-
tage OF 1t.
BY the way, want to take back the
statement / made in my last letter that
Qlinn was looking after the interests OF
Bobby Dobbs. 1 was speaking about
his arranging a match for Jerry Marshall,
and carelessly stated that Dobbs also
was i'm his stable. Bobby is still looked
after by "Rob Roy" Benton, Articles
have heen signed by Jerry Marshall and
"Young Starlight" The date will be
March II, under the auspices OF the
Charlesbank Athletic Club in Bos-
ton. In my last letter stated
that the managers had agreed TO match
their men, and that the only thing left
undone was TO sign the articles and fix
the date. Now that these things have
been accomplished we may look forward
to another most interesting battle.
