Complete returns of the election
in Delaware show many peculiarities
in all three counties. There was
much cutting and slashing in all three
counties, but teh voting was more var
led in the lower counties than in New
Castle. The overwhelming majority
for the Republicans in Wilmington
and in rural New Castle carried the
National and State tickets through by
very wide margins in the State at
large, the greatest victory ever
achieved by the Republicans in Della
ware.
Among the oddities in the lower
counties was the Fourth Representa-
tive district of Kent, West Dover
Hundred, the voting place of which
is Hazlettville. For Presidential
electors Colonel Henry A. dupont
led the ticket with 395. Former
Judge Gray was second with 1856
Francis NJ. Soper, Democrat ant
John G. Townsend, Jr., Republican
each received 384. Alden r. Benson
Republican, received 383 and Josepl
H. Cox, Democrat, 382. Thus,
the election at large had depende
upon West Dover Hundred, COlont
dupont and Judge Gray would hav
been chosen and there would hav
been a tie for the third elector.
In II of the 10 election district
of Kent Colonel dupont led the R
publican electors By from one

The Land Plan for a Sugar Factory


A great many questions are daily
being asked relative to the proposition
Of the sugar company with reference
to the plan under which it is expected
the land will be secured. The plan is
easily understood, and is not compi-
Gated in the least. The sugar com
pany desired to acquire an acreage of
land in the San Juan Basin, which it
can control, in fee simple, so that the
supply of sugar beets necessary for
the successful operation of one or
more factories is assured. That is
sound business, and is large factor in
the assured success of factory. The
company hopes to secure maximum
of 10000 acres of land, but oil of this
land need not be developed at this time.
| They desire between 10000 and Is, 900
acres of good land, and the remainder
will be land that is not developed, but
which can be developed. The land is
first optioned by the owner giving an
option which runs to November l., 1920.
On or before that date, the sugar
company must elect to act under the
minimum acreage acquired under the
option plan. When they elect to act,
the Durango Trust Company, which is
the trustee of the option, notifies the
land owner that the company is ready
to proceed, and asks for an abstract
and deed of the land optioned. This
deed and abstract is held in escrow by
the Trust company for the land owner.
At this time, the sugar company must
complete its financial plan for the con-
struction and operation of the factory.
1t lodges with the Trust company a
construction contract accompanied by
good and sufficient surety bond
guaranteeing the erection of the
factory and must deposit in the Du-
range Trust Company all the cash
necessary to construct and operate the
factory. When the sugar company
does those things, and not before, the
title to the land is turned over to the
sugar company and the land owner re-
ceives in payment therefor, per cent
preferred stock in the sugar company,
and also receives one share of common
with each share of preferred. The
land owner receives stock in the sugar
company which owns the factory and
the lands brought into the enterprise
under the land plan.
The contract is one which gives the
land owner ample protection for, unless
the sugar company strictly complies
with the terms, the contract is null
and all deeds and abstracts are re,
turned to the land owner.
