The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel, Charles Kuchel, Editors and Producers. THURSDAY... DECEMBER 17, 1891. RANDOM THOUGHTS ON THE SUGAR FACTORY. We hope our people are not letting go on the sugar beet proposition. At the meeting held last week it was thought one thousand shares would be subscribed by Tuesday's meeting. Instead of that number we have—but we don't like to tell. The number is so small it wouldn't look well in print. The establishment of a beet sugar factory here means so much to us that it is passing strange more interest is not taken in it. It means nothing more or less than the enrichment of the people of this valley beyond the dreams of the wildest enthusiast. Fancy $150,000 paid out for beets in this valley in one year, and a yearly payroll at the factory amounting to $56,000. Fancy 116 men employed at the factory, getting good wages, many of them with families, requiring residences, food, clothing and incidentals to be bought in this city. Fancy the advertisement that we shall have abroad, with this immense factory established here. But, notwithstanding the world of good that this factory has in store for us, notwithstanding that with it will come the trade of Garden Grove, Westminster and all the country to the south and west of us, with a railroad cementing those sections to us in bands of indissoluble business fraternity, notwithstanding that the world will be looking at us in admiration for the successful introduction of this industry into the country, it is very strange indeed that some of our most influential men would seem to hold themselves aloof from this project. Some of them do not attend the meetings, and certainly cannot take much interest in this proposition that means so much to us all. This will never do. If Anaheim is ever to amount to a row of beans, if we are ever to get out of the slough of despond that now envelops us, we must awaken and grasp this opportunity before it slips from our grasp. purpose of starting the farmers in this business. With this factory at our doors we should have a home market ample for all our needs. Profits would not be eaten up by the railroads, and the fat witted middleman would not be known in the land. The farmer with twenty acres of beets would receive at least $1,440 yearly of the Government bounty on the sugar produced, and would get as much more from the sale of his beets and the profits of the factory. What other industry in the world holds out such great inducements? A hundred and fifty thousand dollars would be expended in the valley for beets every year—more than our oranges, walnuts, fruits and vegetables bring in. This factory would mean that our valley would advance more rapidly than any other in the State of California. We should have 10,000 people here before the bond expired on the beet lands. The entire question rests with the business men of this city. If they make satisfactory arrangements to have the money advanced to our farmers—as Santa Ana is doing for Garden Grove and Westminster—we shall have the factory here. If not, we shall not. We do not care to speculate upon what will happen if this great undertaking is suffered to lapse and be taken up elsewhere. It would be a calamity that a lifetime would not repair. MR. CAPITAIN will be at this office tomorrow to answer all questions regarding the sugar factory. Those who wish to ask any question regarding it are cordially invited to be present and avail themselves of the opportunity. Mr. Capitain goes to Santa Ana on Saturday to address the people there on the sugar beet questions. THE Supreme Court has rendered a decision of great importance to the irrigation interests of the State. It decided last Friday that the irrigation act [Wright Act] passed by the Legislature in 1887 is constitutional. Immediately after the passage of the act the Madera Irrigation District was created in Fresno county. People voted to issue bonds, but the large landowners brought suit in the Superior Court of Fresno to test the constituted advertise for bids for doing The advertisement will be found at thanks of the board to those paid had tended lots for the site of their Hall. Adjourned. A Fluo Piece of Work One of the best pieces of work out in this section is the barber's cabinet lately put up for Professor H. A. McWilliams. The case went into Frantz's barber shop last week sixteen feet long, nine feet high fifty mug racks, and is composed of redwood, but its artistic finish degree of ornamentation makes it heavier wood. It contains three lime plate glass mirrors, has numerous shaving apparatus, clean and soiled etc., and is altogether a miracle. It gives the shop a completely cohesive and is undoubtedly the work of its kind in any shop in Mr. McWilliams has done a very good job and is to be congratulated upon its Frantz may now claim to have shop in the county. His enterprise in so expensive a piece of furniture commenced. Amusements One hundred and eighty minutes at the Opera-house no night—a Legal Document," a perfect performance little costumed and intelligently heralded. "Shadows of the Homestead," a beautiful home life at Opera-house to-morrow (Edwin Barbary has played his greatest document), three weeks in Chicago houses.

Prices 25, 35 per day. the successful introduction of this industry into the country, it is very strange indeed that some of our most influential men would seem to hold themselves aloof from this project. Some of them do not attend the meetings, and certainly cannot take much interest in this proposition that means so much to us all. This will never do. If Anaheim is ever to amount to a row of beans, if we are ever to get out of the slough of despond that now envelop us, we must awaken and grasp this opportunity before it slips from our grasp. We have heard more complaining from the farmers of this valley during the four years past than we ever heard before in this State. Some haveraised hay, some potatoes, some cabbages, and what not, and when the season is ended they are worse off than they were when they began. The railroads and the middlemen get it all! Out of ten million dollars worth of fruits and produce shipped from California to the East last year, the railroads and the middlemen got half of it! Two carloads of cabbages shipped from this point to Chicago last year netted $35 less than the expense of raising them and getting them to market! And the condition of the farmer is gradually getting worse. We have heard them say, "We don't know what to do!" Some of them have mortgages on their places and the incumbrances are gradually eating out their very vitals. When they raise cabbages they cannot sell them, and it is the same way throughout the whole calendar. Once in a while the farmer makes a strike, and then the railroads and the middlemen step in and take the cream of it all. Well may the question be asked, Whither are we drifting? Where will all this end? There is no class so ground down to the very dregs of poverty, there are none who enjoy the comforts of this life so scantily, as the farmers in this free and enlightened nation. Do they realize that a class distinction is rapidly springing up to send them down still lower in the scale of human affairs? They are going from bad to worse. Where will their children and their children's children be? Slavery stares them in the face. Since the emancipation of the slaves there has never been a question of such great import to humanity as the question of co-operation, as obtains so largely in our contemplated sugar factory. There is nothing on earth that holds out such great and lasting benisons of promise to the farmers and poorer classes as this very thing. We believe that in the coming years no event will be pointed back to with such joyful satisfaction as the establishment of the co-operative sugar factories in the United States. In twenty years we shall have a hundred of these factories in the nation. Suppose, for the sake of argument, to digress a moment, the proposition made to the people of Anaheim wore to be tendered that community in California which should hold out to it the greatest inducement—and supposing a round day to address the people there on the sugar beet questions. The Supreme Court has rendered a decision of great importance to the irrigation interests of the State. It decided last Friday that the irrigation act [Wright Act] passed by the Legislature in 1887 is constitutional. Immediately after the passage of the act the Madera Irrigation District was created in Fresno county. People voted to issue bonds, but the large landowners brought suit in the Superior Court of Freano to test the constitutionality of the act. The case was decided in favor of the people and, two years ago, an appeal to the Supreme Court was taken by Charles Lux's estate, the firm of Miller & Lux. J. B. Haggin, G. B. Bliss and others. These are all large landowners in the district and were opposed to the law because the burden of taxation created would fall on them. The decision of the Supreme Court declares the act constitutional in all its provisions, but it is held that the lower court erred in admitting certain records and petitions in evidence while the case was being tried, and a revisal is ordered. The case has been on file for about two years. The Madera people have maintained their organization through all this time, and have paid two yearly assessments. There is great rejoicing among them over the decision, which will practically put a stop to further litigation as to the validity of the law. The sound of the town clock, ringing out the hours and quarter hours, is no longer heard, the bell cord having given way some days ago. We understand that Mr. Luedke does not feel able to keep the intricate mechanism of the clock in repair and give it his constant attention without some slight compensation for his services. He is certainly entitled to it from the citizens of this city. His public spirit in keeping the clock going these many years has been altogether unrewarded, and he is out of pocket no little sum in consequence of giving us this great public convenience. The City Trustees might purchase the clock, and place it in the cupola of the new City Hall, giving us about a four-foot dial; or they might recompense Mr. Luedke for keeping it going. But we must have the clock going; its absence makes too great a difference to us in our public affairs. We have a letter from Jonathan Kraemer in which he advises us that the statement printed in our issue of last week, to the effect that he had lost $10,000 on a horserace at San Francisco, is altogether without foundation, and assuring us that he never wagered a cent on a horserace in his life. We printed the item as a matter of current rumor, giving it for what it was worth, and certainly with no intention of injuring the gentleman. We have pleasure in publishing Mr. Kraemer's denial, and wish him the fullest meed of success in straightening out the financial problems that confront him.

We believe that in the coming years no event will be pointed back to with such joyful satisfaction as the establishment of the co-operative sugar factories in the United States. In twenty years we shall have a hundred of these factories in the nation. Suppose, for the sake of argument, to digress a moment, the proposition made to the people of Anaheim were to be tendered that community in California which should hold out to it the greatest inducement—and supposing a round fifty factories were to be so established—how soon would we be able to get in this path of fortune? The question needs no answer. Richard Gird gave the Oxnards outright a gift of land aggregating a quarter of a million dollars for the establishment of the sugar factory at Chino. Orange county could well afford to tender our contemplated factory a round hundred thousand dollars to have it established within its bounds. What are the business men of Anaheim required to do? They are not asked to contribute a cent. But if we are to have this factory here, they must aid the farmers in raising the necessary amount of money to pay up the ten per cent necessary to start with. The Garden Grove and Westminster farmers have these assurances from the Santa Ana business men. We must do the same for those of our farmers who cannot raise their amount. The money must be advanced them, and a lion taken on their first crop of beets. The money can be easily raised on a collateral note, and the work started going within a few days. The question of liability is so trifling as hardly to enter into the discussion at all. It requires $12 50 per acre to start business with. An acre of beets will produce from $60 to $75, and the Government bounty on the sugar produced from these beets will add at the least calculation $72 more. It takes very poor beets to bring such low figures. Twenty-five per cent above that would be nearer the mark. Here we have abundant security. The business men of this town will be called upon to do something. Let them get together and start those of our farmers who are unable to start themselves. This is our grandest opportunity. No time should be lost in preparing a collateral note for the LAST week we wrote, as going to show the whimsical character of the Kaiser's mental health, that he had worn in one day no less than thirteen military and civilian suits, and had male matters worse by going boating with an Admiral's uniform on. The intelligent compositor made matters worse by making the Kaiser go bathing with the Admiral's uniform on. We make haste to assure his majesty that we did not write it so, and to say to the fleet that we did not mean it that way. We have heard that the Kaiser was ill mentally, but we never heard he was so crazy as to go bathing with an Admiral's uniform on—never! The three best sugar factories in this State have closed down for the season, and a statement of the amount of sugar made has been sent to the internal revenue office. The total production from the three factories was 8,070,138 pounds. The total bounty to be paid is $161,402 76. THE SOUTHERN CALIFORIA EDITorial Association meets at Fresno in semi-anual session on Tuesday, January 12th. THE ORANGE NEWS is three years old. It is one of the best of our exchanges, and we are glad to know it is doing well. CITY FATHERS: The City Fathers met in adjourned session Tuesday morning. The Engineer was instructed to place a master at Clark Minor's nurseries. The proposition of Mesara, Federman and Helmsen, offering the city a 43-foot lot for the erection of the City Hall on Center street, near Claudina, was accepted. H. C. Kellogg presented his specifications for the grading of Center street. The same was accepted, and the Clerk was author-in which he advises us that the statement printed in our issue of last week, to the effect that he had lost $10,000 on a horserace at San Francisco, is altogether without foundation, and assuring us that he never wagered a cent on a horserace in his life.
