The agitation for the establishment of a co-operative sugar refinery here has progressed so far that the corporation will be organized next Saturday. Never in the history of this city has an enterprise been taken hold of with such avidity. Never was a project sent to such speedy consummation. But our people have recognized the incalculable benefits to accrue to us from the factory, and accordingly have simply outdone themselves in the work of securing its establishment here. What with the usual crop of croaking pessimists predicting all sorts of evil, and the inexplicable indifference of those whose interests would seem to be most vitally at stake, the work has gone triumphantly on, and today we are able to say that the hardest ground has been gone over, and that nothing now lies before us but to organize the corporation, elect a Board of Directors and start things going. To be sure, there is hard work yet to be done, but we have every assurance that the outcome Saturday will be so favorable that our farmers may begin planting beets very soon thereafter. While on this point we might say that our people have so far outstripped the Cahuaeng farmers as to cause all attention to be centered here. In fact, there has been a temporary cease of work at Cahuaeng, and all efforts will be brought to bear to get our refinery ready for the handling of next season's crop. This is undoubtedly the greatest achievement of our people, and every one who has secured a single share of stock in the enterprise is entitled to the gratitude of all. When Mr. Capitain said in Kroeger’s Hall some five weeks ago that the establishment of the factory would entail an expenditure of $375,000, those who heard him but who did not understand the method of forming the company, scouted the idea of endeavoring to bring the factory here. When it was known that only ten per cent of the capital stock was necessary to form the corporation and start affairs, committees set out to canvass the valley for shares, but the ill success that attained their goal was not good for that farmers shipping beets five factory would have their freight Southern Pacific Railroad bound; announcement that they would hail at two cents per ton per mile in this project raised by all those raising beets; while living four miles and over from would be entitled to this freight. The agricultural department will go to the farmers with the put in the seed free or charge could the farmer waive. It would bonanza for him. One factory in Germany had years a clear profit of 116 per cent stockholders were modest men a dividend of only 98 per cent next read from the by-laws of every section of which was entitlement to those present. After a further discussion on and the securing of seventy stock, the meeting adjourned at the same place next Saturday at 2 o’clock. This meeting will be a stocking. A Board of Directors will and such other business transactions come before the meeting. It is important that ever attend the meeting. The hard work is done. The next impulse election of a Board of Director shareholder turn out and attend. A meeting was held at Tuesday, when committees went to solicit for shares in the fact. The Executive Committee had at the Commercial Hotel year matters pertaining to next Saturing were discussed. Loan and Building A The Savings, Lean and Built met in regular session on Sunday last. The old officers were bids were received for the $1 billion advertised for sale, and goes over to be sold at the next when $1,500 will be sold.

Harker, Vice President When Mr. Capitain said in Krosger's Hall some five weeks ago that the establishment of the factory would entail an expenditure of $375,000, those who heard him but who did not understand the method of forming the company, sequestered the idea of endeavoring to bring the factory here. When it was known that only ten per cent of the capital stock was necessary to form the corporation and start affairs, committees set out to canvass the valley for shares, but the ill success that attended their efforts during the first two weeks dampened the ardor of those who were disposed to work the hardest, and it looked for a time as though we should have give it up. But when the people came to understand the subject thoroughly, when they came to see the importance of speedy action, they came in with their shares in such an uninterrupted stream that to-day, five weeks after the first meeting, we are prepared to say that the factory is assured. We have in our midst two experienced sugar experts and chemists, from Germany, who have been attracted to our city by this sugar factory agitation. They have examined the soil in the neighborhood, analyzed it, and are in perfect ecstacies over its sugar producing qualities. And they bear out their words by their deeds. They have purchased land here, and will go to best raising. They are the avant couriers of others who have their eyes on Anaheim at this moment, ready to come here as soon as the corporation shall be established. The establishment of this great industry in our midst will be the harbinger of the greatest possible prosperity not only to this valley but to Orange county entire. It will be at once the greatest establishment of its kind in this part of the country, and will send our name resounding throughout the length and breadth of the land. It will distribute annually no less than $150,000 for beets in this neighborhood, and the Government bounty, coming here and finding circulation here, will amount to nearly if not quite as much more. Lastly, our merchants will receive the benefit of a yearly payroll amounting to $64,000. What other industry holds out such great promises of wealth and prosperity? Orange county could afford to donate $100,000 to secure the factory within its limits. The people of Anaheim, Garden Grove and Westminster have carried on this great work almost to a satisfactory conclusion. There is still hard work to do. But the work has progressed so far that it is proposed to organize the company next Saturday. Let all good citizens of Anaheim who have the good of the city at heart, step up and subscribe for shares if they have not already done so. And those who can double their accrue let them do so before the meeting. This is the time for our enterprising and energetic people to act. Cooperation in the sugar business is the only possible way out for the farmer in the present state of his difficulties. Yet shares have been slow in coming in. Still, he continued, they were coming in fast enough, and the factory now an assured thing. He referred to the liberal donations made by the cities of Norfolk and Grand Island, New York. The Southern Pacific track here not to plant beats at all. Mrs Jones thought Garden Grove and Westminster would be good for one thousand shares within a week. As soon as the company was organized there would be a sufficient number of acres subscribed to start the work going. He thought the bulk of the people had not seen the thing clearly yet. It had been said the newcomers or "tenderfest" were the most active in the matter. This was natural. Some of the newcomers had already put in a crop or two and met with little better than failure. They want a change, but many of the old-timers have got in a groove and it is difficult for them to get out. But they are gradually becoming interested, and now one of the most enthusiastic men for the factory is one who some time ago was against it. It was a new thing, and it takes time to understand it. Suppose a million dollars of capital were to come here and invest in a great rolling mill, why, the people of Anaheim would be delighted. It would be a great thing. The field would be filled with miners. Thousands of men would be employed. All classes would be benefited, but of what good would the enterprise be to the farmers? Absolutely none. The workmen would need vegetables, and the Chinamen would raise them for them. The farmers would not reap a particle of good from the enterprise. But the establishment of a sugar factory would be of great benefit to them. The iron foundry would not be a one-tenth part of the benefit that a sugar factory would be to them. It would give them a ready home market for their beets. Our rich land would bring forth splendid crops. While the farmers slept profit would be coming to them. The beets would be sold at a good price. We know that. The beets would bring at least double the cost of production, and then there was the profits of the factory, and the Government bounty. That is enough to enrich all. The farmer was the most favored one in the enterprise. He himself had become exceedingly interested in the enterprise. He had subscribed for twenty-five shares at the start, then he had made it fifty, and recently he had made it a hundred.[Applause.] Mr. Potter of Centralia, being called on by the chairman, said there was as yet no excitement in his locality over the factory, but he believed the people were looking at the proposition favorably. Mr. Gade said that all the people of Centralia want sugar beets. All they are waiting for is for a committee to go down from Anaheim to stir them up. Mr. Potter and Dr. Parchall were according appointed a committee to go down and do the stirring up. The most important point in the remarks of Mr. Capitain, who followed, was that stockholders in the factory living over four miles from the refinery would have the freight paid on their beets. Knowledge of this fact had not been possessed by the people, and therefore when the important point became known it was agreed that a sufficient acreage could be secured from the outlying districts to form the corporation within a week. Mr. Capitain began by saying that he desired to express his gratification and at the same time his surprise at the large number of shares taken. The people had done famously—had done better than he had ever expected. It is a very hard matter to start a sugar factory, and it is still harder to start a co-operative factory.

From semi-official source apoundent learns that she reasoni tago police are kept in the American location is that th e and Westminster have carried on this great work almost to a satisfactory conclusion. There is still hard work to do. But the work has progressed so far that it is proposed to organize the company next Saturday. Let all good citizens of Anaheim who have the good of the city at heart, step up and subscribe for shares if they have not already done so. And those who can double their average let them do so before the meeting. This is the time for our enterprising and energetic people to act. The Western Best Sugar Company at Watsonville, which closed down November 25th after crushing, 2,200 tons of crude sugar, received a welcome New Year's gift on last Friday from Secretary of the Treasury Poster in the shape of an order to draw $50,000 bounty from the Government. The corporation put in its claim for the $50,000 in the latter part of September, after crushing the bulk of its beets. The polarization showed an average of 96 degrees, although the Government test required but 90 degrees. There is still $36,000 due the company. It is expected the money will be ordered paid some time this month. The Christmas issue of the San Francisco Chronicle is a splendid number, but its statement that we have but three two-story brick buildings here is a striking illustration of the depths of absurdity into which a metropolitan newspaper will allow itself to be cast in getting out a "big paper," and covering "big territory." Such papers are but little less than valueless. Had the Chronicle said we had three dozen two-story brick buildings it would have been much nearer the mark, and would have justified the conclusion that the rest of it was near enough the truth to give it the value that should attach to a big issue of a great metropolitan daily. But "three two story brick buildings" lets us out. SUPERINTENDENT PORTER says the census work will all be completed by the end of 1892, and that it will cost about $7,000,000, or "a trifle over 11 cents per capita." This is too long to wait for the report, and too much to pay for it. There is a colored gentleman in the woodpile somewhere. Mr. Capitain began by saying that he desired to express his gratification and at the same time his surprise at the large number of shares taken. The people had done famously—had done better than he had ever expected. It is a very hard matter to start a sugar factory, and it is still harder to start a co-operative factory. Cooperation in the sugar business is the only possible way out for the farmer in the present state of his difficulties. Yet shares have been slow in coming in. Still, he continued, they were coming in fast enough, and the factory was now an assured thing. He referred to the liberal donations made by the cities of Norfolk and Grand Island, Nebraska, and Richard Gird, to secure the establishment of sugar factories in their respective localities. Norfolk had donated $100,000 and Grand Island $150,000, to the Oxnards, and Richard Gird 2,500 acres of land to them, worth a quarter of a million dollars, to secure the sugar factories. Yet in neither place do the farmers get the benefits of the profits of the factory or of the bounty. They get $3 50 per ton for their beets, and the corporation gets all the rest. The people of this section are asked to do—what? Simply to advance the ten per cent of the capital stock, the remainder being loaned them at 7 per cent interest. They get the benefits of the profits and the bounty. If there was ever so liberal a proposition made a community he had not heard of it. Yet he was pained to hear of malicious statements being made about the enterprise, and he proceeded to pay his respects in quite a forcible manner to the individuals interested in this nefarious business. On the question of a possible overproduction of sugar, he said that the total amount of sugar consumed in the United States was last year 2,275,000 tons, which amounts to the product of 758 factories working 300 tons of beets daily. The production of sugar in the United States last year was 150,000 tons, leaving the enormous amount of 2,125,000 tons of sugar to be imported. While the amount of sugar consumed would require 758 factories—the size of that at Chino to produce it, there were only six refineries in the United States. Thus the bulk of the sugar consumed here is imported, at an annual expenditure of two hundred millions of dollars. The amount consumed annually in California is 61,000,000 pounds, and the production of the three factories 8,000,000 pounds, leaving a deficiency of 53,000,000 pounds capacity, and we should have beside the States and Territories of the Pacific Coast buying sugar from us. There is no danger of overproduction. In the language of Colonel Sellers, "There’s millions in it." Here the speaker informed the audience.

A dispatch from Valparaíso, Chile, dated January 6th, says an American newspaper correspondent hears that the Chilean government has cabled orders to Minister Pedro Montt at Washington, to make a sincere apology to the United States for the unfortunate and deplorable attack upon the Baltic ores sailors, on October 16th last. The apology is to be unqualified in character, neither matters which have been in dispute between Chile and the United States are speedily to be considered by the new administration. From semi-official sources the correspondent learns that the reason why the Santiago police are kept in the vicinity of the American location is that the Intendente of A dispatch from Valparaiso, Chile, dated January 6th, says an American newspaper correspondent hears that the Chilean government has cabled orders to Minister Pedro Montt at Washington, to make a sincere apology to the United States for the unfortunate and deplorable attack upon the Baltimore sailors, on October 16th last. The apology is to be unqualified in character, rather matters which have been in dispute between Chile and the United States are decidedly to be considered by the new administration. From semi-official sources the correspondent learns that the reason why the Santiago police are kept in the vicinity of the American legation is that the Intendente of one city is in daily receipt of letters containing threats to burn and sack the location. The correspondent asserts that it is no secret that those who cherish ideas of war between the United States and Chilo are friends of Palmaceda. The correspondent learns that the German Minister, Gutschmidt, offered the services of his country as mediator on his own personal responsibility. This is in line with his course of action over since the present government came into office. He has pursued it with a bow to getting up a reputation for himself as a diplomatist. A Washington dispatch says: The correspondence which the President promised to send to Congress relating to the attack upon the Baltimore's sailors at Valparaiso will not be sent now. In fact, there is reason to believe that some days will elapse before the public may know officially just what passed between the Department of State and Minister Egan on the one side and the Chilean Minister, of Foreign Affairs and Minister Montt on the other. The unofficial announcement of the practical completion of the intention of the Chilean legal authorities to punish the three Chileans convicted of participation in the assault has given satisfaction here and is generally regarded as a distinct concession by the Chileans to the United States, and as showing that there will not in all probability be any further undue delay in the disposition of the case. These tidings have not, so far as is learned, been officially made known to Secretary Blaine by Minister Montt, and it may be that the latter will await the sentence of the convicted Chileans before he presents to the Secretary the conclusions reached by the judicial authorities of his country. With matters in this promising condition it is unlikely that a disturbing element will be introduced in the negotiations by the publication of incomplete correspondence.
