BEET FACTORY FOR SPRINGvILLE
LEHI MEN MAKE PROPOSITION
TO HER CITIZENS.
People Enthusiastic Over the Project,
Which Will Likely Go Through
Terms Discussed at Meeting.
fsnecial to The Herald.O

Springville, Jan. 19.-For the past
day or two rumors of fresh movements
in the matter of building a sugar fac
tory at Springville have been heard,
but nothing developed until last even
ing. 4 few days since Manager T. r.
Cutler and Superintendent Austin of
the Lehi factory were here, and took
a quiet view of the city and its sur
roundings. Today it became known
that these gentlemen had made a
definite proposition looking toward the
building of a factory here, and that
last evening u coterie OF business men
met at the Springville bank, and the
preliminary movements were set on
foot. The proposition filed by Messrs.
Cutler and Austin was as follows-
Messrs. Cutler and Austin would
agree to build a sugar factory at this
place. if the citizens would give them
and certain water right privileges for
the months of September, october and
December. Said factory is to be built
in time to work up the beet crop Of
1900. and to have a capacity equal to
that of the Lehi factory, with buildings
large enough to permit of later in
creased capacity to the extent of 100
per cent.
At the meeting last night a commit
Alexander Robertson and a. w. Fin
ley were appointed TO make arrange
ments for securing the bonus asked for.
Another meeting viii be held Saturday
evening.
The proposed factory site is about a
mile from town in the direction of
Spanish Fork and is at what is known
as the Big Hollow. The land in ques-
ton is the property Of NJ. a. Miner,
and it is understood that he holds it at
$40 per acre-which is regarded by
many as an eXorbitant figure, the soil
being principally black alkali desert
1t is expected, however, that the land
can be secured on satisfactory terms.
MI Cutler is reported to have said
that he had the money ready, and that
if Springville wanted the factory, the
small bonus of land and water was
all that was necessary. All Springville
had to do was TO put up her portion,
and work would be commenced at once.
IF they declined, other places, which
he named, would get the opportunity.
Springville citizens are very enthusi-
astic over the prospect, and hope of a
successful consummation is high They
feel that comparatively little is being
asked them. hen the returns are to be
ringViile, Mapleton and
Spanish Fora the three points of the
triangle in which the factory IS to be
built, have contracted for over LOO
acres OF beets this year, and with
factory near by. this acreage would be
increased.

The Boss Preparing For His Saving Democracy Role
BANKERS FIND A NEW FIELD
WILL BUY THE CUBAN TOBACCO
INDUSTRY.
United States Banking Institutions
Propose to Obtain a Monopoly of
the Havana Cigar Business.

New York, Jan ia dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says: Propositions
of American capitalists to control the
Cuban tobacco production and manufac-
lures are taking definite shape. 1t is not
vet settled whether this will be in con-
junction with an English syndicate or
in opposition to K. The plan originates
with some New York banks, and includes
banks in Boston, Washington and other
cities. Several promoters and spectators
have been working on the scheme, but
they represented no capital. The present
syndicate is said 20 be comp sed entirely OF
banks. Tn propositiin is to obtain eoAuol
of tobacco lands in the Vuelta Abaja
OF Pinar del Rio district, and also of the
Partido district, in Havana province.
These districts comprise two-thlrds OF the
production of the island
II tobacco-producing lands can be Sc
cured the next step viii be to manufac-
ture the ieaf entirely in Cuba, enabling the
prices to be controlled and driving iInita-
ton Havana cigars out of the market.

York banking house. with the tobacco in

English syndicate known as the Havana

This syndicate was composed OF eleVen
factories including Henry Clay and Book

and it controls 5000 caballerios, or l6i.4
refused to join the syndicate and have
kent an Independent eXistance.
Negotiations with the English syndicate
are said TO have ceased recently and now
a proposition has been made to lnclan q
Co, and to other outside factories which
are considering.
Tobacco men have heretofore been
skeptical about all plans Tor controlling
production and manufacture of the Cuban
leaf because of the amount OF capital
needed. For this reason individual pro-
motors have received little attention. The
banks. however, have capital enoukh 10
command respect in trade circles, and IL
is known that some factories have re-
ceived offers which are causing them to
reconsider former retusals.
Tobacco lands are held chiefly by small
farmers and are not owned in large
areas by factories. though some of these
have leases on tracts for periods varying
from three TO FIVE years. Tobacco buyers
have claimed that the scheme 'f con-
trolling production is not feasible, but
capitalists are willing 10 attempt the ex-
pertinent The value of the product OF the
Vuelta Abaja and PartidOS districts Is
estimated at from sl0,0JD,o0J to Sl2,O 00a.
In the present scheme account is not
taken of the Remedies district in Santa
Clara, or Of Santiago. comprising the
cheap product. The assumption is that
they would follow the course of the pro-
duct in the western part of the island.
