TWO NEW FACTORIES

Two Beet Sugar Plants to Be In.

Denver. Colo, Nov. 1.-TWO new
beet sugar factories, with capacity
Of GOO tons or more a day. Will be
built In Colorado In time tor the sea-
son OF 1908. The exact locations OF the
factories have not been announced.
but will be- made public within week.

plans OF his company.
THE National Construction Com
pRny." said MIR. Bane. lis an amalgam-
alton OF the most expert engineers and
machinery builders In the business. In
the last year there have been contracts
for six beet sugar plants let in Michi-
snn. and OF these our company got
three. We have built plants In all
parts OF the United States and have
sent machinery even abroad.
I'VE have had experts In the Colo
rado field and have found that condi-
not ready to state now the location OF
the two factories we will build. but l
Will say that we ourselves expect 10
furnish 100000 OF the capital neces-
sary to build them. They Will cost
about 100000 each. That means that
each will have capacity OF about 600
tons daily. with arrangements made
for their enlargement II that Ii found
desirable. Some factories here would
have much larger output than in
Michigan. We are counting on getting
100 pounds of sugar from each ton OF
bects. The largest production from "A
ton Of beets In Michigan Is $50 pounds
Of sugar. The bects in Colorado are so
much swecier. the yield TO nn acre is
no much greater. and the season so
much longer than elsewhere bccauSc
the climate favors keeping the roots.
that COO-ton factory here would have
n larger output than u l.oc0-ton Inc-
tory In Michigan.
I'VE have thought over. and talked
over. and slept over this talk Of danger
from Cuba TO the sugar beet Industry.
and We are here to put our money In.
Have you ever thought that wherever
civilization has gone II has blasted the
cane sugar industry. There is more
sugar In bccts every year. but chcmis-
try and improved agriculture have
never been able to increase the amount
OF sugar to lie obtained from given
amount OF cane. II is simply matter
OF the temperate zone against the civ
ilixation OF the torrid xone-nnd the
temperate xonc will win every time
Il do no, believe that the Republic
can party Will ever make any rcduc-
tions In the tnrifr ON sugar. II can't
afford to do No. The chain OF beet su-
rar factories extends from New York
to San Francisco. and the party can
not afford TO wreck the industry. II
Cuba is admitted to the Union. why
the same freedom Of exchange will OPP
crate to destroy the inequalities OF In
bor nnd Cuba could not injurc the beet
sugar industry for long time. IL at
