EPITOME OF THE NEWS. The Sugar Factory Looks As If It Is a Go. Over twenty-three Hundred Acres Reported Subscribed at Last Saturday's Meeting, and Many Secured Since Then—Other Items—Echoes of the Tug of War-Story of the Sea—A Queer Adventure—City Fathers In Solemn Conclave. The meeting at Kroeger's Hall last Saturday afternoon to perfect the preliminary organization of the sugar refinery to be established here was one of the largest as well as probably the most enthusiastic gathering that ever assembled in this city. The hall was packed to the doors and standing room was at a premium. It did one's soul good to be there and participate in the enthusiasm. The meeting was without doubt the most important one ever held in this city. The Garden Grove farmers came to town in a great procession of carriages, headed by Capt. Hilliker's drum corps. A large streamer was borne aloft, bearing the inscription: "Garden Grove and Anaheim are in it." As the procession passed the hall where the meeting was to be held the crowd on the sidewalk, which numbered several hundred, sent up a rousing cheer, to which the Grove people responded by cheering heartily in return. The meeting was called to order by the chairman, Dr. Fleming, who read the list of subscribers to stock. Anaheim reported 1524 shares. Mr. Beckett of Garden Grove read the lists circulated in his section. The Grove had subscribed for 580 shares. The Westminster list was not on hand, for some unaccountable reason, but Mr. McCoy said that he knew 200 shares already on paper, and that his section would be good for many more. The total number of shares subscribed was 2,304. The Chair called for expressions of views as to the method of organizing, Captain Hilliker was called on for a short address. He responded briefly, saying that the establishment of the factory on a co-operative basis would be one of the greatest things in America. He had been interested in co-operation all his life, and was satisfied that was the only solution of the problem of capital and labor. The Grove people were here with the best of feelings Anahiem extended them each stockholder becomes liable for his proportionate share of the liability, and in case of suit, separate actions must be brought against each shareholder. Mr. Capitain explained again that shareholders raising beats at a distance of four miles and over from the factory would have their freight paid by the corporation. Parties living ten, fifteen or twenty miles away would only be required to load their beets upon the cars, and their freight would be paid by the corporation. They would receive their full pay for the beets besides. The chairman resappointed all the old soliciting committees. He counseled every one to renew their efforts in behalf of the factory, so that the necessary acrage may be subscribed as soon as possible. The question as to how late beets may be planted was answered by Mr. Capitain, who said that they could be planted as late as the middle of June. Beets had been planted that late in Mr. Jones' land and they had assayed 16 per cent of saccharine matter. He was confident that beets could be grown here the year round, and that Southern California was destined to be the home of the sugar industry. Mr. Jones said that if the farmers have a little alkali in their land, they needn't be afraid of it. That will not hurt the beets, but on the contrary will do them good. He thought we could raise beets sweet enough to raise the seed ourselves instead of sending abroad for it. Mr. Capitain said that parties owning orange land who may be desirous of taking stock in the refinery may make application to the corporation, when the corporation would rent land and plant the beets for them. Dr. Warner asked how soon the seed could be got here. Mr. Capitain replied that seed could be laid down here in four weeks. Capt. Hilliker said that a great many people down his way hadn't the necessary ten per cent. This was a very important point, and should be looked into by the Executive Committee. Gen. Pierce, as going to show how rich the beets raised on Mr. Jones' place were, said that he had gone over to get some for his cows one day last week. He dumped them under a tree, and when he got up in the morning the place was running all over with molasses. The meeting adjourned to meet at the same place again next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. By advertisement elsewhere it will be seen that Chairman Jones calls a stockholders meeting for next Saturday. A full attendance of stockholders is desired. The ten per cent assessment is to be paid up. This means business. Let there be a big turnout, and the great enterprise inaugurated. There will be a sugar beet meeting at the Centralia schoolhouse to-morrow (Friday) afternoon at 10 o'clock. Mr. Capitain will address the meeting. It is expected the Centralia country will be good for several hundred acres.

Captain Hilliker was called on for a short address. He responded briefly, saying that the establishment of the factory on a co-operative basis would be one of the greatest things in America. He had been interested in co-operation all his life, and was satisfied that was the only solution of the problem of capital and labor. The Greve people were here with the beat of feelings toward Anaheim and extended them the hand of fellowship. [Tremendous cheers and applause.] Garden Grove could get five hundred more shares in another week. Some of the people are sick and have not been able to get around and subscribe. He thought the organization should be perfect immediately. The chairman said that Anaheim was more than glad to extend the hand of fellowship to our friends at Garden Grove. We welcome them with open hands, and are glad they are here. [Applause.] Mr. Jones said that time was very important. We have a plan of organization, which provides for a temporary chairman. He thought the temporary chairman should be elected at once, and a committee appointed to confer with the capitalists who are to advance the money to build the factory. Mr. Capitain said that when the 3,000 acres are subscribed the capitalists would be "right here in this hall," with their money ready to start things going. He thought the required acreage could be subscribed within the week, when all preparations could be made for the advancing of the money. We should perfect a temporary organization today for the purpose of saving time, and when we get 3,000 acres subscribed then we can sail right through. He alluded to the good work of the committees, and expressed unbounded admiration for their work. Their work had been altogether beyond his expectations. The Greve people came to town in a great procession, bearing aloft a streamer proclaiming that they and Anaheim are in it. Capt. Hilliker—That banner is to be placed in the corner-stone of the factory. [Applause.] Mr. Capitain, continuing, said that in a year each share that is worth $12 50 to-day will be worth $500. Outsiders will be tumbling over each other in a scramble to get in. Gen. Pierce was called upon, and responded in a very able effort in support of the necessity for the speedy organization of the factory. He moved to elect a temporary chairman and secretary, and urged that the work of organizing go on as speedily as possible. Down at Garden Grove he said the ladies had done the biggest part of the work of getting subscribers. He was sorry the hall was not bigger, and that the ladies were not present to take part in this great work. The General's speech was eloquent, witty and forcible, and he was frequently interrupted with applause. The election of temporary officers was then proceeded with. Mr. Beckett nominated T. J. Jones. Mr. Jones declined the honor in favor of Gen. Pierce. The General said he wanted everything to go off harmoniously, and while he appreciated the compliment very much, he declined in favor of Mr. Jones. Mr. Federman nominated Dr. Pfeninger. One hundred and forty-two shareholders voted, and the ballot resulted: Mr. Jones, 44; Dr. Pfeninger, 41; Gen. Pierce, 16. The election of Mr. Jones was then made unanimously. The meeting adjourned to meet at the same place again next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. By advertisement elsewhere it will be seen that Chairman Jones calls a stockholders' meeting for next Saturday. A full attendance of stockholders is desired. The ten per cent assessment is to be paid up. This means business. Let there be a big turn-out, and the great enterprise inaugurated. There will be a sugar beet meeting at the Centralia schoolhouse to-morrow (Friday) afternoon at 10 o'clock. Mr. Capitain will address the meeting. It is expected the Centralia country will be good for several hundred acres. Tug of War. The inter-urban tug of war closed with last Wednesday night's pull, when, as stated in our last issue, Anaheim beat Garden Grove in two hours and thirty-three minutes, and Buena Park beat Santa Ana in just six minutes. Anaheim was declared the winner, Buena Park second and Garden Grove third. Friday night the Anaheim lightweights beat the Santa Ana team in one hour and one minute. Then the management introduced a novelty. Two teams of Chinamen from Man Wo's highbinding were brought upon the stage to pull against each other. The heathans pulled for eighteen minutes, when one team gradually yanked the other over. The Garden Grove team beat a team from Fullerton in one hour and six minutes. Saturday night was devoted to tugs between picked teams of men and boys. Three Fullerton lads, with a colored boy for anchor, pulled three town boys much lighter than they were in 18 minutes. Two picked teams tugged an hour and thirty minutes, when the stronger team pulled the weaker team over to their side. Monday it was announced that the Buena Park and Anaheim teams would tug for $100 a side. Quite a large crowd gathered at the opera-house in expectation of seeing the two big teams tug. Capt. Spencer was on hand with his team, including his "hefty" anchor man (226 pounds), but Capt. Great, after trying very hard, in conjunction with Capt. Bentz and Capt. Wetzel to get a team together, was unable to do so, and the tug was declared off. This was a big disappointment to the crowd, many of whom had come from the outlying precincts especially to see the tug. A team of Germans outpulled an American team in one hour and forty minutes. There has been some talk of pitting the big Anaheim team against the victorious American team of Los Angeles, which has swept everything before it. Neither team has yet been defeated, and while our boys do not pretend to class themselves with a team that is regarded as the champions of the State, still we would give them a tug and try to make it interesting for them. The question of the supremacy of the Anaheim and Buena Park teams should be settled. The Park boys claim that they can output us, and we are in favor of seeing whether they can do it. True, the town boys pulled them over in an hour and two minutes in Tuesday night's contest, but the Park boys were without their big Jumbo anchor man, and say that with him they ought to be able to give us a lively tussle. Let the tug proceed! While the Anaheim and Park boys are diploming over their respective merits, Capt. Sweetser of the Grove steps in and insists that his team can output anything this side of the mountains. The only question that remains after the tug is that about the supremacy of the Anaheim and Buena Park teams. The making of this article requires knowledge of historical events related to organizational practices during World War II or similar periods.

Mr.Pirtle w got that his people wont The election of temporary officers was then proceeded with. Mr. Beckett nominated T. J. Jones, Mr. Jones declined the honor in favor of Gen. Pierce. The General said he wanted everything to go off harmoniously, and while he appreciated the compliment very much, he declined in favor of Mr. Jones, Mr. Federman nominated Dr. Pfeninger. One hundred and forty-two shareholders voted, and the ballot resulted: Mr. Jonas, 44; Dr. Pfeninger, 41; Gen. Pierce, 65. The election of Mr. Jones was then made unanimous, amid great applause and cheering. E. J. Pellegrin was elected temporary secretary. A vote of thanks was tendered Dr. Pfeninger for his distinguished services in behalf of the factory, with the understanding that there is something better for him in the future. The Doctor thanked the meeting for the compliment, and said that heneo forth, as in the past, his every muscle and fiber would be exerted for the factory. Gen. Pierce was elected attorney of the corporation, his office to be without fees for the present. He graciously accepted the position. He said his services were at the disposal of the factory until such time as it may be placed upon the high road to success. Mr. Jones here-took the chair, amid great cheering, and the temporary organization of the factory was complete. He appointed the following Advisory Committee: H. Kroeger, Dr. Pfeninger, Gen. Pierce, J. McCoy and S. Littlehold. Mr. Bleckman of the Santa Fe road was introduced and stated that his road had its eye on the factory, and was in the field to help it along. Mr. Beckett said he had received a letter asking about the individual liability of the stockholders. This was a very important point, and he thought it was proper to ask Mr. Capitain's opinion about it. Mr. Capitain replied that it would have given him great pleasure to answer the question before the election of Gen. Pierce to be the attorney for the corporation, but he could not do it now, and he respectfully referred the question to that gentleman. Gen. Pierce said that he had investigated the question, because he knew we should meet it at the threshold. Every contract; he said, if there be no latent ambiguity about it, interprets itself. This contract interprata itself. Each subscriber pays ten per cent of the capital stock, and after he raises beats for five years he discharges all liability. The other 90 per cent of the stock is paid for by the raising of the beets. That is all there is to the contract. Under the law The question of the supremacy of the Anaheim and Buena Park teams should be settled. The Park boys claim that they can output us, and we are in favor of seeing whether they can do it. True, the town boys pulled them over in an hour and two minutes in Tuesday night's contest, but the Park boys were without their big Jumbo anchor man, and say that with him they ought to be able to give us a livly tussle. Let the tug proceed! While the Anaheim and Park boys are diploming over their respective merits, Capt. Sweetser of the Grove steps in and insists that his team can outpull anything this side of the mountains. The only question that remains after the tug is that about the supremacy of the Anaheim and Buena Park teams. Let us have that tug. "Squire Landell doesn't want any more tug of war in his cough syrup for two years." Buena Park. Rev. Mr. Crawford occupied the pulpit of the Congregational Church Sunday. Dr. Harwood was at Bakersfield. The week of prayer was observed; meetings were held each night. An old-fashioned spelling school will be held to-night (Thursday) at the schoolhouse. Buena Park and Centralia will be the contestants. Everybody will be welcome. This school will be under the auspices of the L.M.A.S., and that means a good time. Mr. and Mrs. H.C.Campbell of Manitoba, and John Henry of Toronto, Canada, who have been spending some time at the Park, have gone to Los Angeles, to the regret of many friends they have made here. Mr. and Mrs. H.M.Witkaker of San Bernardino were visiting their parents last week. Mrs. Sprague of Anaheim was at Mrs.A.Witkaker's over Sunday. Capt. Spenser and his team visited Anaheim Monday evening to meet the brave warriors of Anaheim; but, alas for anticipated hopes for victory! Anaheim "wouldn't play." Capt. Spenser took his team home. The "light weight" team of the tug of war have displayed some fine skill in their movements, and it is anticipated in the near future they will wear their laurels with great credit.

SOLEMN CITY FATHERS START THE NEW YEAR WRESTLING WITH MOMENTOUS AFFAIRS OF STATE. The Board of City Trustees met in regular session yesterday afternoon. Present, Chairman Reisher and Trustees Witte, Schindler, Littledield and Pellegrin. The Clerk read the minutes of the last regular and adjourned meetings, which after correction were adopted. The regular order of business was suspended in order to take up the opening of bids for street work. The following bids for work on the outlying streets were read: B. F. Porter offered to grade the following streets at the annexed amounts: West street, $140; Citron, $175; Palm, $140; Lemon, $150; Los Angeles, $600; Olive, $150; North, $175; Sycamore, $160; Santa Ana, $175; South, $150; Broadway, frem Olive to Conrad's brewery, $180; Chartres, from Lemon to Olive, $50; Cypress, from Lemon to Olive, $50; Chestnut, from Los Angeles to Palm, $50. Total amount $2,390. F. M. French of Los Angeles offered to do the work at the rate of 3 cents per linear foot. Mr. Porter's bid was accepted, it being the lower of the two by about $300. Bids were then opened for the grading of Center street. H. A. Boege offered to grade the street from the Santa Fe depot to West street for $2,450. Mr. Boege's bid was accepted. The Marshal reported the collection of $350 55 for water and license during the month, which was turned into the Treasury. The Clerk reported the collection of $2 42 for delinquent taxes of 1899-90. The Treasurer reported a balance in bank favor of the amounting to $16,095 47. Of this amount, 3,482 50 is the money in the several bond funds. The taxes on Mr. Gomber's note for the fiscal year 1891-2, amounting to $40.50, was ordered refunded to him, as at the time of making of the assessment Mr. Gomber and his note were not residents of the State. The Engineer was instructed to inspect all water meters on the first of every month, he to report to the Clerk, and the latter officer to make out proper receipts, at the rate of 40 cents a thousand gallons.

A penalty of $2 to be attached every time the water is shut off. In the matter of rebuilding the lately collapsed tank at the water works, the board decided to advertise for bids for doing the work. The advertisement will be found elsewhere. Kleinigkeiten. —A little rain, please, Mr. Weather Clerk. —The gossips say that the leap year will be enlivened with a branch-of-promise suit.

The plans were accepted, and Mr. Schindler was authorized to draw up specifications in conformity with said plans, and submit the same to an adjourned meeting to be held Monday next at 2 o'clock. Adjourned. Quite an Adventure. We have in our mind's eye two gentlemen living not a thousand miles from here, who visited San Diego last week to take a look at the cruiser San Francisco and shake old Admiral Brown by the hand. They went aboard the cruiser, had a chat with the Admiral, and when they returned to shore later in the evening they passed the time by looking into the Salvation Army barracks, where the salvationists were holding noisy revel. A crowd of seamen from the cruisers San Francisco and Charleston present, it seems, doing their level best to promote discord. A posse of policemen swooped down and arrested the whole lot. Our friends were among the unfortunates, and proceeded at once to demonstrate indigently with the officers at the outrage of running patriotic visitors, who had come a hundred miles to see the cruisers, into the cooler for no other reason than that they stepped in to see what was going on at the Salvation Army barracks. But the copes were obdurate, and our friends were about to be cast into a dungeon cell, when one of them, bathinking himself of the usual method of procedure in such cases made and provided, slipped a quarter into the brawny policeman's grimy hand, whereas the two skidled post-haste forthwith and got out of that instanter. There never was such running, and the two never stopped till they got to Old Town, where they caught the train and came home. The moral of it all is: Stay away from the Salvation Army. But our friends say the San Francisco is a great ship, and that the Admiral is as jolly a sea dog as they ever saw. The Admiral was at the Raymond Hotel in Pasadena at the time, but that doesn't make any difference. The Irrigation District. The Board of Directors of the irrigation district met in special session last Friday afternoon for the purpose of considering Mr. Porter's proposition to sell $600,000 of the district's bonds at 90 cents, and to pay a commission of $10,000 to the broker. Mr. Pirtle, the broker who is endeavoring to negotiate the sale, was present. The board decided that it would not be advantageous to sell $600,000 of the bonds, when probably half that amount would suffice for the present. Mr. Pirtle was not prepared to say that his people would take $300,000 of the money. —List of unclaimed letters remaining in the Postoffice January 13: A. Deuel, F. H. Pot, C. Harrison, Rev. J.

Polhemus of Miraflores was thrown from his buggy by the breaking of the coach, and sustained severe injuries about the shoulder. He is getting over it as rapidly as may be expected. —a drunken track walker attempted to shoot Cenductor Curtis, formerly on the S.P. run through this town, down on Colorado desert one day last week. Curtis made himself scarce for an instant, and the track walker was arrested. Then the train took up its run again. —Clark Minor received another consignment of trees and vines from Fresno Monday. They were inspected by Commissioner Perry, who pronounced them clean and healthy. Mr. Minor has now some fifty or sixty thousand trees in his nursery, and is constantly receiving new accessories to his stock. —Ameng those indicated by the United States Grand Jury in Los Angeles on Saturday, were J.

The Corener's jury, held Thursday evening, rendered a verdict that deceased came to his death by blows inflicted with his own hand. Public Administrator Ey has applied for letters of administration upon his estate. It is understood Bernartz executed a will the day before he died, bequeathing his estate to Joseph Backs. —It is by the newspapers that the outside world judges of a city's condition and prospects, and it is not only the news and opinion of a paper that enhances this judgment but the character and extent of the advertising patronage and general appearance and tone of the whole paper. Liberal patronage of your newspapers is the best advertisement that a business man can make, for the return is steady and sure. —Mr. Goesch informs us that his orange trees look so well since he fumigated some weeks ago that he has about decided to have his own fumigating apparatus in future, to it handy.

The Irrigation District. The Board of Directors of the irrigation district met in special session last Friday afternoon for the purpose of considering Mr. Porter's proposition to sell $600,000 of the district's bonds at 90 cents, and to pay a commission of $10,000 to the broker. Mr. Pirtle, the broker who is endeavoring to negotiate the sale, was present. The board decided that it would not be advantageous to sell $600,000 of the bonds, when probably half that amount would suffice for the present. Mr. Pirtle was not prepared to say that his people would take $300,000 of the issue. He was of the opinion that they wanted the entire issue, or $600,000. After discussing the proposition at some length he agreed to communicate with them with the purpose of ascertainting whether they would accept one-half of the issue at present, the other half to go over to such time in the future as the board may elect. Mr. Pirtle will communicate with the board as soon as he acquires the information. The meeting adjourned to the call of the chair. Progressive Horizts. Mr. and Mrs. O.

WEHMEYER—In this city, Saturday, January 10th, Mrs. Sophie Wehmeyer, beloved wife of H. Wehmeyer, a native of Germany, aged 49 years and 6 months. BERNARTZ—In this city, Thursday, January 7th, Martin Bernartz, native of Germany, aged 52 years. Congressman Bowers has been notified of the resignation of Charles Willoughby as military cadet at West Point, and he has been asked to make an appointment to all the vacancy. When Willoughby was nominated, as a competitive examination at Ventura, Chateau Loring, son of United States Surgeon Loring of San Diego, was named as alternate. Bowers will designate young Loring and he will report for examination at the San Diego barracks on March 1st. At the same time all the young man who should like to be named as alternates will be examined. If Loring should subsequently resign, under the new rule the alternate can proceed at once to West Point without further examination. It is by the newspapers that the outside world judges of a city's condition and prospects, and it is not only the news and opinion of a paper that enhances this judgment but the character and extent of the advertising patronage and general appearance and tone of the whole paper. Liberal patronage of your newspapers is the best advertisement that a business man can make, for the return is steady and sure. Mr. Gosch informs us that his orange trees look so well since he fumigated some weeks ago that he has about decided to have his own fumigating apparatus in future, to have it handy. If his trees require fumigating next year he will put up four fumigating tents for the destruction of the scale. Mr. Gosch is an enterprising citizen, and if every orange grower would hit the scale as hard as he, the bugs would soon be relegated into the limbo of forgotten things. We are in receipt of a very pleasant letter from F. W. Deethman of Chicago, formerly a resident of this city, who keeps posted on our local affairs by reading The Gazette. Mr. Deethman sends six dollars to renew his subscription in advance. That is a splendid New Year's joke to play on the editor—one that it is to be wished more people would follow. Mr. Deethman takes quite a lively interest in the sugar factory, which is going to "go," and it is possible we may see him out this way on account of it in the near future. Mrs. Sophie Louise Wehmayer, wife of our townman H. Wehmayer, died last Sunday morning at 3 o'clock, aged 49 years and 6 months. She succumbed to the prevailing malady, la gripe. She had been sailing for some time, but nobody thought the end was so near. Decreased had lived in Anaheim for a great many years, and had a wide circle of friends and acquaintances who deplore her untimely taking off. The funeral occurred on Monday; she remains being followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. We extend the bereaved husband and family our heartfelt condolence. The Noss Family appears at the opera-house to morrow night. They come very highly recommended, and will doubtless give us a very good show. The Daily Transcript of Lexington, Ky., says of them: The Noss Family gave a first-class performance at the opera-house last night. The mandolin orchestra was the first on the programme and was sufficient to satisfy the audience that the performers were thorough musicians.
