The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel, Charles Kuchel, Editors and Producers. THURSDAY... DECEMBER 31, 1891. BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR THE SUGAR FACTORY. Shares in the sugar factory have been coming in satisfactorily during the past week. The total number of acres thus far subscribed, together with those reasonably expected to be put to paper within the next few days, warrants the conclusion that we are to have the great and glorious enterprise inaugurated here. Indeed, the Executive Committee advises us that negotiations now pending with two landowners, and attended by the very best of prospects that they will join in the enterprise, indicate an extreme probability that the books of the corporation will be closed within the next two weeks. Should this great stroke of good fortune come to eventuate, the corporation will be formed at once and the refinery erected in time for next season's crop. One of these landowners, we might mention, is the Stearns Ranchos Company, which is counted upon as being good for five hundred shares. There is every inducement for this company to subscribe for that amount of attack. Even admitting, for the sake of argument, that the money received from the beets, together with that from the beuty, will do no more than pay the actual expenses of the harvest, the running of the refinery and the liquidation of the debt, the company at the end of five years would find themselves the owners of one-sixth of the refinery, at a money valuation of $62,500. This gives them $12,500 per year, even admitting that their crop and the bounty give them no return. Leaving out of the calculation the enormous increase in the value of their countless acres of land hereabouts, the refinery would bring them in nothing less than an independent fortune, if that is what they are after. But we are not at all satisfied to let the illustration go at this. The bounty will amount from $80 to $100 on every acre of beets planted for Fe will undoubtedly build to the refinery, thus giving the people below us ample communication with the outside world. We hope every man to the south of us will work with a will tor the factory. It will bring prosperity to every family in the valley. Our farmers will reap the benefits of the enterprise to the very fullest extent. The people of this city are determined to secure it. It will come. It is almost assured to-day. We ask the Garden Grove and Westminster farmers to join with us and add their subscriptions to the stock—which during the past week have been rolling in in a very satisfactory manner indeed. Are you down for shares in the sugar factory? Remember the list goes very near two thousand, and only a thousand shares more are wanted. The land company is counted on as being good for five hundred of these, and the rest is liable to be snapped up within a week. Once three thousand shares have been subscribed, and you are not on the list, your land will not be likely to be planted to beests, except at a moderate rental, for five years. You will miss the benefits of the factory dividends and the bounty. Step up and sign for shares! The newcomers, or "tenderfeet," are doing their whole duty by the factory. They are responding nobly, and would to God we had more men like them here! They are carrying every share they can, and are coming in, in a perpetual stream, with five, ten and fifteen acres at a time. This counts; and we are going to have the factory! But there are some of the old-timers who haven't "caught on" as quickly as it is manifestly to their interests to catch on. They are a little backward, but we hope to see them with us before another week rolls by. Everybody step up and sign for shares! This cold spell which seems to have played havoc with the oranges at Riverside and in the San Gabriel valley, failed to put in an appearance here. While the weather was pretty sharp on Friday night, and there were traces of ice on Saturday morning, still there was absolutely no damage done to our citrus fruits. The weather in this valley is more moderate than in the higher altitudes toward the mountains to the north and east, and during the recent cold spell the thermometer fore many days. Once distributed to the orchards of this county, scale will have no terrors for their urists. That pest will depart here its twin destroyer, the white scale and a better world. In the suit brought to test that the Elsinore Irrigation District San Diego county, which Judge Superior Court of that county decided in favor of the district, attorney firm, Brunson, Wilson appeared for the contestant and district. The questions at issue involved merely the manner of its district, and did not appertain to irrigation law. In another column will be found on sugar beets and sugar manufacture ten by E. Thelen, of National Diego county. Mr. Thelen writes taining letter, which is possessive interest to us at this time. He The People's State Bank as he writes purely out of the interest in the success of all sugar beets en Riverside wind dispatch: "norther" which thus far through cold week has saved the orange country from harm, ceased Christmas evening, and the rest one of the coldest nights on mercury was below 30 for nearly all over the orange-growing area county, and it looks as though some to much of the fruit. The thermometer on the higher side showed a minimum of 26 degrees less favorable localities as low as reported. At Redlands to 28 degrees are the figures given Highlands, Colton and Southport substantially the same Pasadena reports 24 degrees; and points through the San Gabriel Pomona about the same. A Freeso raisin-grower, with a core vineyard, after refusing dealers of 2 cents a pound down sins, with a very uncertain cost something more after the dispense his own dealer. He pains in sacks, chartered a car Minneapolis; bought a ticket for there with a few samples threw his shipment, and sold his sale grocery at a price which paid expenses and netted him $15 for his crop. The grocer sells the owners of one-sixth of the reinery, at a money valuation of $62,500. This gives them $12,500 per year, even admitting that their crop and the bounty give them no return. Leaving out of the calculation the enormous increase in the value of their countless acres of land hereabouts, the refinery would bring them in nothing less than an independent fortune, if that is what they are after. But we are not at all satisfied to let the illustration go at this. The bounty will amount from $80 to $100 on every acre of beets planted for the factory. Assuming that the company should give free rental of their land, the bounty would not them a very handsome income on the money invested. Reckoning on the basis obtaining at Chino, where each acre produced 5,000 pounds of sugar, the bounty will go to $100 per acre. Even allowing for a shrinkage of a thousand pounds of sugar per acre, which is simply a reduction absurdum, and we still have a bounty amounting to $80 per acre, sufficient incentive for any man or corporation to look upon the proposition with extreme favor. This bounty of $80 per acre on five hundred acres, together with the sixth share in the refinery, would not the land company in five years no less than $262,500—an independent fortune. That stroke of statesmanship, the bounty on sugar, is the great secret of it all. We have already shown that it aggregates a total of $103,000 yearly. It is reasonable to hope that during the lifetime of the bounty law our premiums from the Government, should the factory be erected, will reach two million and a half of dollars. We believe the land company will subscribe for five hundred shares. To think otherwise, we submit, would reflect upon their business worth. A favorable answer is expected from the company daily, and when it comes the refinery will be an assured reality. The same conditions appertain to the second party referred to, and it is reasonable to say the proposition will be looked at in the same business light. But we are not satisfied to say that our production of sugar will fall a thousand pounds per acre below the Chino average. It will go above the Chino output, satisfactory as that has been this past season. To be sure we must allow for mistakes and errors of judgment, but these must be reduced to a minimum. Yet the profits are so great that we can stand a reasonable amount of bad luck and then come out ahead of the bargain. What applies to the larger landowners, applies also to the smaller farmer. A man with ten or twenty or fifty shares of stock in this refinery would be independently wealthy in five years. He would have a steady home market for his crops, he could haul to the factory or have convenient transportation facilities, and there would be no middlemen! What a glorious contrast to the lot of the farmer to-day, who raises his crops of potatoes, cabbages, barley and corn, etc., Everybody stop up and sign for shares! The cold spell which seems to have played havoc with the oranges at Riverside and in the San Gabriel valley, failed to put in an appearance here. While the weather was pretty sharp on Friday night, and there were traces of ice on Saturday morning, still there was absolutely no damage done to our citrus fruits. The weather in this valley is more moderate than in the higher altitudes toward the mountains to the north and east, and during the recent cold spell the thermometer here stood several degrees higher than in the less favored localities. While tender shoots of plants were "nipped," the orange crop was unmolested—and prices have gone up in the bargain. It's an ill wind that blows nobody good, and while it is distressing to hear of the damage done in some localities, still we might as well be thankful that our oranges, coming out of the snap unscathed, are rising in price thereby. Two weeks ago we escaped the high wind that blew a gale and did great damage in the San Gabriel and San Bernardino valleys, and now we have to record that the frost of last Friday night, which seems to have followed in the wake of the wind and to have done greater damage than was at first reported, left us out of its consideration altogether. Apart from the nipping of the tender shoots, there is absolutely no damage to report from this section. Mr. B. F. Porter informs us that he has a bona-fide offer for the purchase of $600,000 of our irrigation bonds at a satisfactory price. Mr. Porter has given the matter of the bond sale assiduous attention, and he informs us that, after two months of hard work, he has at last a proposition to be presented the Board of Directors, which he will do at their next meeting. He has been out time and out of pocket for the good of the district, and if it shall come to pass that he has placed the bonds advantageously—which we all hope to be true—he is entitled to the lasting thanks of the entire community. Our neighbor of the Westminster Tribune declares that we had the distinction last week to appear with "a local item or two" taken from his columns without credit. If we ever did this unholy thing—and we declare we didn't—we will make oath that we don't know when, where or why we did it. We must have been in an hypnotic state to have done it. REPORTS from Chile are conflicting. First we hear that war is inevitable, and then the news comes that matters are quieting down and that no conflict will result. A Washington correspondent sizes up the situation as follows: Reports which appear henceforward representing the government as grouping its war vessels in the South Pacific in order to intimidate Chile, may be regarded as unworthy of credence.

He would have a steady home market for his crops, he could haul to the factory or have convenient transportation facilities, and there would be no middlemen! What a glorious contrast to the lot of the farmer to-day, who raises his crops of potatoes, cabbages, barley and corn, etc., and finds at the end of the season that the railroads and the middlemen have it all. Those who plant beets, as Mr. Jones said at the meeting other day, will find that cheer will be in the house when the harvest is over. The beets will have a ready sale—the life of the factory depends upon them. The people of Garden Grove and Westminster have taken hold of this enterprise in a spirited and robust manner. The former locality has 600 acres subscribed, and Westminster promises to come forward with 800 by next Saturday night. Indeed, the outlook is so bright on all sides that we are warranted, as we say, in assuming that the enterprise will be inaugurated in the very near future. By the establishment of this factory Westminster and Garden Grove will secure railroad connection with the outside world. This they have been fighting for for years. Before the advent of this factory proposition, their railroad was still as far away as it ever had been. But the factory will bring it to them. The Terminal people have their eye upon this factory. The Terminal magnates will be in Los Angeles this week probably. There will be a distinguished gathering of eminent railroad people at the time of their coming. The Terminal people will be in Anaheim—we have assurances to this effect—and they will look over Garden Grove and Westminster. Doesn't this look like they will build their road around from Long Beach, through Westminster and Garden Grove to this city and on east? We should think it did. The coming year is brighter with promise for Garden Grove and Westminster than has ever been their lot. Their railroad is nearer than ever, and the establishment of the sugar refinery will hasten its coming. Beside the Terminal, the Southern Pacific and Santa REPORTS from Chile are conflicting. First we hear that war is inevitable, and then the news comes that matters are quisting down and that no conflict will result. A Washington correspondent sizes up the situation as follows: Reports which appear henceforward representing the government as grouping its war vessels in the South Pacific in order to intimidate Chile, may be regarded as unworthy of credence. I am informed on the highest authority, that the order of procedure, if the worst comes, will include no "intimidations" or "demonstrations." It will be "business" from beginning to end. Egan will be instructed to present his letter of recall and come home. He will demand safe conduct out of the country for the refugees to whom he has given the shelter of the American location. If that is denied, the naval force already on the spot will attempt to enforce his demands. At the same time all vessels in Pacific waters belonging to the navy, revenue, marine or private merchant service, will be pressed into use, either as fighters or transports, and a sharp, quick, decisive blow will be struck. It is the desire of every one concerned to avoid bloodshed so far as that is possible, and to bring the war to an end so promptly as fully to justify its beginning. PROFESSOR KOEBRLE has sent up another consignment of the red scale parasites. Only two hundred survived the trip from Australia. These have been dispatched to Professor Coquillet at Los Angeles, where the Professor is engaged in the work of establishing them. These parasites have already shown their voracious appetite for the scale, devouring them right and left, and if no untoward event occurs, they will be ready for distribution be GO TO WM.BOYD Groceries and Provisions Confectionery, Cigars Tobacco Grain, Mill Feed, Etc.
