CHINO'S SUGAR FACTORY.
At First Sight the Structure Disappoints You.
But Disappointment Gives Way to Wonder and Surprise When You Enter the Building—One Hundred and Thirty Men Employed—On all sides there is Evidence of Abundant Prosperity—A Party of Anaheimers Visit Richard Gird, and Have a Jelly Good Time.
As one comes in sight of the big sugar factory at Chino the first impression is one of disappointment. One hears so much of the factory—that it is the largest in the world, contains so many million bricks and holds hundreds of carloads of machinery—his expectation is aroused to a high point, and he is apt to let his brain run unbridled and to form landscapes, as it were, that are not borne out by the facts. He consides, consequently, a structure that is out of all proportion; and so, when he first comes in sight of it, he feels that the boom-time advertiser is again in the land, and has given the factory especial and attentive mention.
When the factory first burst upon the vision of the crowd of jolly Anaheimers who had traveled over the hills to see it on last Thursday, they were engaged in the happy occupation of discussing a delicate lunch of cold chicken, ham, cheese and caviar sandwiches, hard-boiled egg, limburger and a couple of dozen Conrad's choice export. The sour mash had gone before. While the lunch was being dispatched Lowie' bus bowled along the route that runs through the best fields. There are oceans of beets—the fields stretch seemingly to the horizon. So the jolly crowd rolled along, if not with froth and song with a plenty of hilarity, and the corkscrew was put to its high pressure capacity. Then Havanas were lighted, the limburger was hermetically sealed and quietly put away, and everybody resigned himself to a contemplation of the factory.
The party of tourists and capitalists comprised W. R Harkar, L. Schorn, S. Littlefield, Adolph Rimpan, E. P. Fowler, Clark Minor, M. Nebolung, Dr. Hunt, F. Ruhmann, E. J. Pellegrin, L. F. Lewis, R. Boshard and a representative of this journal. Behind the 'bus Mr. Carlyle of Westminster, who was meets the heads of different departments—the superintendent, overseer and man in charge of other works connected with the factory. Now one rushes up with a message to telephone away—perhaps something has gone wrong down at the factory; then a stranger walks in and asks to see Gird. Carriages drive up incessantly, the drivers take orders and go away.
On every side you hear, "Which is Mr. Gird?" Directed to the presence of the man who has caused all this transformation, the stranger asks politely, "Is this Mr. Gird?" It is a This man has limestone to sell—"the very thing we want," says the overseer, reassuringly—that man wants beet seed, and the other comes to strike for a job. And as it goes the live-long day. Mr. Gird is on the jump from morning to night, and his time, he says, he can scarcely call his own. Sometimes he doesn't hear, and then he has a habit of saying, "What do you say?" He is an affable, courteous and entertaining gentleman, one who draws friends toward him instinctively. He is engaged in a tremendous undertaking. Perhaps no man in California has more resting on his shoulders. The mind does not care to dwell upon what would happen if the enterprise should fail. But it will not fail. The work is already too far progressed, the beets are too rich and there are too many of them to admit of that. Success will crown Gird's efforts—of his prosperity he is abundantly worthy. His far-sighted enterprise will be the making of the country.
Mon continue to come into the office in search of this thing or that, and other carriages come and go. In the office everybody talks factory and the future of the place. Everything is put against the world. On a shelf are displayed specimens of rock, together with prize boots, corn, etc. Picking up a piece of what resembles bread cast in a mold, one is informed that it is bituminous rock. "Good for anything!" "The beat in the world," and with that the attacke thrusts it smartly upon the floor, and it rebounds high enough to catch it easily with the hand.
The beets are the "richest in the world." They polarize twenty four per cent. Boats of fourteen per cent of sugar are marketable and yield a profit. Twenty per cent boats are "out of sight," but boats at China go as high as twenty-four per cent. They beat the world. And the factory is the largest on earth.
There are thirty artesian wells on the ranch. That boats the world. The factory will require two millions of gallons of water daily. That boats the world. After being discharged from the factory, this water will be used for irrigation. A well is sunk in two weeks. The steam apparatus used in sinking the wells is an ingenious contrivance with speed and force, and works to a charm that beats the world.
HOME AGAIN.
Three hours were spent at Chino. A cordial invitation to dinner with Mr. Gird.

So the jolly crowd rolls along, if not with frolic and song with a plenty of hilarity, and the corkscrew was put to its high pressure capacity. Then Havanas were lighted, the limburger was hermetically sealed and quietly put away, and everybody resigned himself to a contemplation of the factory.
The party of tourists and capitalists commrised W. R. Harker, L. Schorn, S. Littlefield, Adolph Rimpau, K. P. Fawler, Clark Minor, M. Nebelung, Dr. Hunt, F. Ruhmann, E. J. Pellegrin, L. F. Lewis, R. Bohard and a representative of this journal. Behind the bus Mr. Carlyle of Westminster, who was also of the party, drove in his buggy and kept up with the procession.
The road to Chino, after leaving Pomona, runs by magnificent peach, apricot and prune orchards; with grounds nicely kept and cultivated; past orange groves and vineyards that recall the old-time luxuriance and beauty of our vines as they looked before the disease came and a swept them from the land. Pomona is truly a lovely place—its orchard and vineyards are a sight to behold. Small wonder that returns are large, that prunes go $600 to the acres, that the valley flourishes and blossoms as the rose, and that the peo ple want to set themselves up in a county government of their own. Their grounds are all in superb condition, and are a credit to the enterprising people. A couple of miles out of the town the orchards are left behind, and the road leads thence into the China best fields. There are 5,000 acres of them. Laborers were thinning out—the long rows of plants stretch away on every hand. Where the thinning out process has not yet begun the ground is a mass of waving beet tops that away in the soft breeze, bowing a cordial welcome as we come. Further along, passing a hedge of trees that stayed the flight of the vision in that direction, one comes at last in sight of the big sugar factory, a couple of miles away, standing out boldly against the dark perspective of the hills beyond. But the first sight is somewhat disappointing. The factory doesn't look big enough. Soon we arrive at the town of Chino, which at present is thinly settled, but which has a future second to no place in this country. We alight and walk to the office.
"Is Gird here?" We do not address the factory, or the beets, or the perspective, but the man in the office, who comes to meet us.
"He's over there by the artesian well."
WE SEE GIRD.
We move over where several men with a steam apparatus are putting down an artesian well. The well is 247 feet deep, and flows a generous stream. All the time one eye the big factory, which somehow grows bigger and bigger as we approach. Arriving at the well we meet Gird and introductions enure, and we all set out for the factory. Editor Rhodes of the Champ is along, and tells us 130 men are employed on the building. The main structure is 290 feet long, by 70 wide. The boiler room, a few feet away, is half as large. Other buildings, shede, etc., are in course of creation and the entire place has an appearance of great activity about it. Two railroad tracks are laid to the factory—Gird's narrow gauge and the Southern Pacific.
As we approach, the factory towers above us, and dispels the disappointment which one might have felt a moment before. The incassant and heavy hammering that comes from within tells of the massiveness of the machinery. The sound reminds one out of sight—but beats at Chino go as high as twenty-four per cent. They beat the world. And the factory is the largest on earth.
There are thirty artesian wells on the ranch. That beats the world. The factory will require two millions of gallons of water daily. That beats the world. After being discharged from the factory, this water will be used for irrigation. A well is sunk in two weeks. The steam apparatus used in sipping the wells is an ingenious contrivance with speed and force, and works to a charm that beats the world.
HOME AGAIN.
Three hours were spent at Chino. A cordial invitation to dine with Mr. Gird and to remain over night had to be declined. The visitors had lunch sumptuously and it was necessary to return home before night. So at half past 1 o'clock, the return trip began. With many adenus and with three capacious paper bags filled with beet seed which Mr. Harker will distribute, the horses' heads were turned toward Pomona, and Chino was left behind. The return trip was attended by no untoward event, except that Brer Harker and Fritz Ruhmann declared they saw rattlesnakes in the road. A close inspection by the others of the party failed to disclose the wheresabouts of the snakes, however. Dr. Hunt strenuously objected to the bringing out of the limberage again, but he was overruled and declared to be out of order. The lunch was given the finishing touch, and little of it remained to tell the story.
Arriving home it was found that one sandwich remained of the fifty taken along. This was a mistake, Mr. Littlefield said. He did not know it was there. The demijohn of water was brought back intact.
The trip was highly enjoyable. Leaving Anaheim at 6 o'clock in the morning, Chino was reached at 10:30, and the party arrived home safely at 6 in the evening.
Another trip will be made to the factory when sugar making begins. This will sometimes in September. Mr. Gird desires us to extend a cordial invitation to the people of Anaheim to be present on that occasion.
This article would be incomplete without a reference to the Anaheim and Chino railroad. For the present matters are in status quo ante. We expect to have something to say upon the subject in near future.
A Popular Traveling Man.
R. T. Sparks of the Coronado Mineral Water Company was in town on Saturday last, combining business with pleasure. Mr. Sparks is engaged in introducing the Coronado mineral water throughout the country, and has just returned from a trip to New Orleans, where he took occasion to visit the jail whero the Mafias were killed some time ago. The recent floods which caused the breaking of the Mississippi levees he informs us destroyed millions of property in Louisiana, and many people are homeless in consequence.
The Southern Pacific Railroad tracks run many miles along marshy and overflowed lands, and it is necessary to keep guarding the track constantly that it may not be damaged or washed away. Mr Sparks nerves were somewhat shattered at seeing alligator in the marabas a few feet from the track and great mooscan snakes lying on the ties sunning themselves. However he has lived to get back to California alive and well, and when last we saw him was making for the clam bake Sunday at Santa Monica. He enjoys life thoroughly, and claims his robust health is due to drinking Coronado water. He is working up a good trade for his company, and deserves it.

As we approach, the factory towers above us, and dispels the disappointment which one might have felt a moment before. The incessant and heavy hammering that comes from within tells of the massiveness of the machinery. The sound reminds one of an iron foundry, or a body of calkers at work on a ship in the dry dock. A sentry stands at the gate. We are told no one is permitted to enter. An exception is made in our case, however. The gate is opened, we cannot tell whether at the appearance of Mr. Gird or of Max Nebelung, who positively avers he released that rooster in the sandwash, but who really, there is reason to believe, dispatched the bird and then devoured the carcass minus the bones and feathers. But we go through the gate and presently enter the factory.
There is no disappointment here. One thinks involuntarily the half has not been told. An army of workmen is employed in setting the machinery in position. An inclined elevator, that works after the manner of a great revolving anger, takes the beets from the ground floor to the top of the building. The beets are conveyed to the mouth of the elevator by water power. After the beets are unloaded in the sheds they are not touched by hand again until they are transformed into sugar at the other end of the factory. The boilers are a feature. They are massive and capacious and consume 50 tons of coal per day. A description of the machinery would be incomplete, as not half of it has yet been placed in position. All of the machinery used in sugar refining comes from Germany, and the rest of the apparatus from the Eastern States. A hundred carloads of machinery have already been placed in position, yet it routinely makes showing in the big building.
The factory is the largest in the world, so Mr. Gird says. It will begin operations about September 1st. Five thousand acres have been planted to beets, which will be ready for the factory for the startup. Enough beets are in sight to keep the factory running for five months day and night.
The buildings are solid and substantial, and the machinery ponderous and of the latest pattern. The works will cost not fat from a million dollars.
GREAT IS CHINO
Everything at Chino has about it an air of abundant prosperity. At the office one track runs many miles along marshy and overflowed lands, and it is necessary to keep guarding the track constantly that it may not be damaged or washed away. Mr. Sparks' nerves were somewhat shattered at seeing alligator in the marabas a few feet lying on the ties sunning themselves. However he has lived to get back to California alive and well, and when last we saw him was making for the clam bake Sunday at Santa Monica. He enjoys life thoroughly, and claims his robust health is due to drinking Coronado water. He is working up a good trade for his company, and deserves it.
Card Party.
A number of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Rimpau took occasion to invade their hospital home on last Monday evening to while away the time at cards and other games and to have a general good time. During the evening ice cream and cake were served, which these present did full justice to. At a late hour the party dispersed. Among those present were Mrs. Adolph Rimpau, Mrs. Fred Rimpau, Miss Theresa and Rebecca Harris, Miss Gertrude Houchins, Miss Ida Everhardy, Miss Lute Bailey, Miss Fannie Rowe, Miss Elizabeth Kuchel, Miss Minnie Zayn, Miss Clara Baker, Miss Jesse Beatrice Smythe; Messra; Frank and John Rimpau, F.C. and Joena Smythe; Frank Schaumburger, Sheldon Littlefield, Lloyd Bailey and others.
Young Folks' Party.
Blanche Mitchell entertained a number of her friends on Thursday evening, when the time was given up to music, games and enjoyment. Among those present were Miss Helen Bangroft, who entertained the assmblage with several choice selections on the piano; Margaret Landell, Mabel Lungenberger, Adole; Helena and Henrietta Gosch; Fritzie Heimaum, Stella Scott, Bessie and Alice James, Jessie and Winifred Malrose, Bessie James, Eva Littlefield, Mabel Hunt, Stella Goldthwaite, Adole Mossoman, Lizzie Rutledge, Stella Lewis, Malla Godfrey, Marlina and Ida Pampel, Zalma Bailey; Guassia Langenberger, Floyd Van Valin, Charlie Goldthwaite, Hugo Strodthoff, Carl Pampel, Horr James, Neill Bailey, Fred Lewis and Adai Scott.

OBJECTS TO THE DISTRICT.
Protesting that Water Ruins Its Business.
Irrigation Will Hamper Traffic, Wash Tracks Away, and Keep Men Constantly on the Lockout for Danger—It Will Do Great Damage and Little Good—That Is What the Railroad Says!
On Tuesday the Board of Directors of our irrigation district wrestled with the railroad question. The Southern Pacific's petition to be set out of the district was deferred for consideration until next month's meeting. In the mean time a consultation of delegates from several districts in the State through which the railroad passes, and from which they will ask to be excluded if they are successful in their effort here, will be held at some central point, probably at Bakerfield, on June 16th, for the purpose of consulting in regard to some concerted plan of action. Mr. Ryan will represent Anaheim at the conference. The board meets again to-morrow. Below will be found a complete resume of the proceedings:
The board was called to order at 10:15 o'clock, President Korn in the chair, and Directors Spencer and Crowther present. Absent, Director Ryan.
Secretary Garwood read the minutes of the last meeting, which were approved.
There being no report of officers, the board passed to the consideration of communications, of which there were many, all of which were filed, to be subsequently taken up for action. While the Secretary was engaged in reading the communications, A. B. Hotchkiss, Col. E. E. Hewitt, H. D. Lamotte, and others of the Southern Pacific Railroad entered the room, accompanied by Gen. H. I. Willey, engineer of the Poso, Kern county, Irrigation District, all of whom came in reference to the railroad's petition asking to be set out of the district. After disposing of the communications Mr. Hotchkiss addressed the board in reference to the petition. The petition, demurrer of citizens to the granting of the same, affidavit of its publication and the fact that no bonds of the district have been sold, were entered in record in different exhibits. Mr. Hotchkiss then said that the railroad company objected to the demurrer raised by our citizens to the granting of their petition, on the grounds that demurrer doesnotshow sufficient cause of action. He said that no special benefit the engineer of Poso district, in Kern county. Should the railroad succeed in their endeavor to be set out of our district, it will also undoubtedly be set out of Peso district and the five other districts in the State through which it runs. So Gen. Wills felt it incumbent upon him to come here and take a hand in the discussion. He referred to the fact that he had been associated with W. S. Green and C. C. Wright in fighting for the irrigation districts before and during the last session of the Legislature. He had found that irrigation bonds were almost unavailable; that a union of capitalists and large landowners embracing Haggin & Carr, Lleyd Lewis, Geo. D. Bliss, Newlaude, Sharon and others, were engaged in an attempt to bring the bonds into disrepute and who were doing everything in their power to injure them. He argued in favor of a State Association of districts, which he hoped would be effected when the next Legislature met. As to the petition of the railroad now under consideration, he advised that the question be deferred until a consultation could be had with the several districts similarly affected in other parts of the State. The question was too serious for a single district to deal with hastily. Many districts are struggling under adverse circumstances on account of a failure or neglect to co-operate. This question should be discussed by all the districts affected, so that there might be a uniform and patriotic action. There had been no less than four irrigation cases taken to the Supreme Court on appeal, each one of which was so closely allied to the other that they were practically the same. Had there been a State Association of districts, but one case need have been taken to the higher court. Every day there are difficulties encountered by districts, which would be obviated by knowing how other districts had surmounted the same obstacles, and this so-operation could only come by the formation of a State Association of districts. So he suggested that there be a consultation between the districts through which the railroad runs, and that consideration of the petition be deferred until a conclusion shall be arrived at.
Neither one of our district's attorneys had put in an appearance up to this time. The Southern Pacific people were present in "battle array," but our lawyers failed to show up. A telegram came later saying that Judge Wilson could not come. He asked that the matter be deferred until the next regular meeting.
So the matter went over until the next meeting, and the Directors adjourned for lunch.
In consultation with the railroad officials they all declared it to be their desire to settle the matter amicably.
On reassessment after lunch it was decided to adopt General Willey's suggestion and to call a meeting of delegates from each of the districts affected railroadwise. Bakersfield was selected as the most central location for the meeting place. Saturday, June 16th, was agreed upon as time for the meeting.

The social hop at the Del Campo on Tuesday evening was largely attended and
entered the room, accompanied by Gen. H. I. Willey, engineer of the Poso, Kern county, Irrigation District, all of whom came in reference to the railroad's petition asking to be set out of the district. After disposing of the communications Mr. Hotchkiss addressed the board in reference to the petition. The petition, demurrer of citizens to the granting of the same, affidavit of its publication and the fact that no bonds of the district have been sold, were entered of record in different exhibits. Mr. Hotchkiss then said that the railroad company objected to the denurrier raised by our citizens to the granting of their petition, on the grounds that demurrer does not show sufficient cause of action. He said that no special benefit would accrue to the railroad by the fact of its being in the irrigation district. The railroad had not appeared before the Supervisor at the time of the formation of the district to state its objections to being included in the district; but they came before the Board of Directors, as the Supervisora' successors, to make their objection.
In support of his case, Mr. Hotchkiss called Col. Howitt to give testimony. The witness was sworn. A railroad stenographer was present and took down the testimony. Col. Howitt is Division Superintendent of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, and has been in the railroad business for thirty-two years. He stated that he knew the property referred to in the petition; it was devoted to operating the railroad and telegraph lines exclusively; it is not auscitable nor can it be benefited by irrigation; water would probably damage it, by softening the roadbed and otherwise interfering with its solidity.
Mr. Hotchkiss then stated that the railroad came in a friendly and not aggressive spirit. The railroad makes their claim in justice to themselves. They came to confer as to what would be for the best interest of the district, the Board of Directors in their discretion would make such decision as would promote the best interest of the district. The railroad was interested in the development of the district, and they wished to discuss all questions in a friendly spirit.
Dr. Spencer stated that the district's lawyers were not present and therefore he should object to any of the evidence being introduced into the courts.
Mr. Hotchkiss stated it would not be, and worried that the company desired nothing but full discussion of the proposition upon its merits, and everything to be carried on in a friendly and conciliatory spirit.
He stated that he had asked C. C. Wright, the author of Act under which the district is working, to write an opinion upon the subject. The same question interested every district in the State through which the railroad runs, and he desired the matter be thoroughly discussed and understood so that justice might be done both the railroad and the district.
Mr. Hewitt, continuing, said that application of water to the roadbed would endanger its property, and that in his opinion the district would not increase the value of the property at all.
Dr. Spencer suggested that the district did not intend to irradiate the roadbed—they had intention of so doing. He thought the increase in railroad business that would come by irrigation would benefit the railroad and enhance the value of their property.
Mr. Korn referred to the increase of freight and transportation that would necessarily come to the railroad by virtue of irrigation. Itches had been located here for the past twenty-five years or more, and since the advent of the railroad no washouts by irrigation had ever been reported.
Col. Hewitt stated that he was dealing with a telegram came later saying that Judge Wilson could not come. He asked that the matter be deferred until the next regular meeting.
So the matter went over until the next meeting, and the Directors adjourned ter lunch.
In consultation with the railroad officials they all declared it to be their desire to settle the matter amicably.
On reassembling after lunch it was decided to adopt General Willey's suggestion and to call a meeting of delegates from each of the districts affected railroadwise. Bakersfield was selected as the most central location for the meeting place. Saturday, June 16th, was agreed upon as the time for the meeting. The Secretary will notify other districts, and it is probable the meeting will be attended by friends of irrigation from all parts of the State. Mr. Ryan will represent the Anaheim district.
The Secretary was instructed to write the Governor in reference to the purchase of bonds by the State from moneys in the school funds, as suggested by J. W. Shanklin of Oakland.
All deeds and certificates of property purchased by the district for delinquent taxes were ordered recorded, according to law.

Dr. Spencer suggested that the district did not intend to irrigate the roadbed—they had intention of so doing. He thought the increase in railroad business that would be by irrigation would benefit the railroad and enhance the value of their property.
Mr. Korn referred to the increase of freight and transportation that would necessarily come to the railroad by virtue of irrigation. Patches had been located here for the past twenty-five years or more, and since the advance of the railroad no washouts by irrigation had ever been reported.
Col. Hewitt stated that he was dealing easily with the railroad's property. The railroad was the forerunner of irrigation; whatever prosperity there is in any section may be attributed to the railroad. Our people had practiced irrigation for a long time; there had been no assessment of the railroad, and the company did not think the district was justified in taxing them now.
Col. Howitt's attention was called to the increased area of the district, being told that the railroad's property had been out of district before and in it now.
Mr. Korn said the old water company comprised 8,000 acres, and the new 32,000, the railroad's freight shipments would be handled.
Mr. Spencer said the company's roadbed might not be benefited, but the railroad could certainly reap the benefits of an increased irrigable area.
Mr. Hotchkiss argued that the roadbed was not intended to be taxed. His argument was substantially the same as that seen in support of the railroad's petition, cited elsewhere.
Mr. Growther stated that the Southern Company is different from the Santa whose line of roadbed runs for several miles along the company's upper ditch, and never been troubled by a washout.
I. D. Lamotte of San Francisco, the railroad's right-of-way agent, also gave testimony. The railroad company's property would not be benefited that much, said (snapping his finger), by irrigation, a railroad might get more business with increased irrigation, and it might not. There is active competition here.
I. Hawgood of Los Angeles, resident engi-chee S. P. R. R., was next called as a witness. His testimony was to the effect that water would injure the company's roadbed would not increase its value. His testimony was substantially the same as that seen by Col. Howitt.
General H. I. Willey, whose name is familiar to all friends of irrigation, and who came to Anaheim to take part in the discussion, spoke at length of the necessity for moving with deliberation and caution in the premises. General Willey is adjourned until to morrow morning at 10 o'clock.

Jack Seeger has severed his connection with Cahen's store and will leave in a few days for his old home in Dubuque, Iowa, where his mother resides. Jack has lived in Anaheim three and a half years, and has hosts of friends who are sorry to have him go.

The Rev. George Robinson, who has recently been appointed by the Bishop to take charge of the Episcopal Church here, intends to commence his duties on Sunday, June 7th. There will be service on that day at 2:30. Rev. Robinson will reside in the rectory at Tuatin, and will conduct services there and at El Toro; but he hopes to have services at Anaheim every Sunday. It is hoped that all the members and friends of the Episcopal Church in Anaheim will show their love for their church and their God by regular attendance at these services.
Coroner Ey thinks he has established the identity of the man found dead at Shell Beach the other day. Photographs of the dead man were sent to many different points, and from San Pedro comes the report that he is recognized as one David Crockett, from Springfield, Illinois. The body was found without cost or hat, and these articles of apparel are at San Pedro where Crockett is supposed to have ended his life by jumping off the wharf. When last seen he was coming out of a bank handling greenbacks. This description tallies very well with the body found, and it is probable that man's identity will be established beyond doubt.
A large crowd attended the rink on Saturday evening and enjoyed the entertainment heartily. After the skating there were ladies' and gentlemen's races and a "hard-scorable contest" that provoked much merriment. Next Saturday evening the rink closes after a successful run' of several weeks. A masquerade skating carnival will be the attraction. Manager Walton has conducted the rink in a highly creditable manner, and should have a roaming house at his farewell. Mrs. Walton has been seriously unwall since her arrival here, but is convulsing. Attend the carnival everybody, and give the manager a good send-off.
