LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. Another Enthusiastic Beet-Sugar Meeting. Judge Widney of Los Angeles Talks on the Question of Issuing Bonds to Build the Factory—Other Items—Man Killed by the Cars—No More Burglaries—The National Gauce. The sugar beet meeting last Saturday afternoon was largely attended and enthusiastic. It was the first meeting to talk sugar beets for several weeks, and it demonstrated that there is no cessation of interest in the subject. The purpose now is to issue bonds to raise money to put up the factory, the land bonded to beet culture to be trust deeded to the corporation as security. Below will be found a succinct account of the proceedings of the meeting: The assemblage was called to order by Mr. Fowler, President of the corporation, who said the meeting had been called for the purpose of informing the shareholders exactly what was necessary to be done in order to secure the capital to erect the refinery. The refinery could not be built in time to handle this season's beet crop, but capital was at hand ready to put it up in time for next season's crop. The scheme promulgated by Mr. Capitain had been found to be impracticable, and the Executive Committee had gone into other avenues of finance for the purpose of securing the capital necessary to erect the refinery. The meeting had consequently been called to acquaint the shareholders with the results that had attended the laborers in its endeavor to get the capital, and also that they might thoroughly understand the existing situation. Judge Widney of the University Bank of Los Angeles was present and addressed the meeting on the financial part of the proposition. It may be said in passing that Judge Widney is regarded as one of the foremost financiers of the State, and that his opinion on money matters is second to that of no other banker in the State. The Judge delivered a very able speech, which was listened to with close attention. He said that he had been waited upon by the Executive Committee, and they had given him an outline of what we were doing in the sugar line. He had been requested to come down and give the people his views about what was necessary in order to make the enterprise a success. He thought the establishment of a The bonds are issued for whatever time you choose to run them, in this case six years. All property trust decided, together with the factory and its site, are held as security. The bonds bear 7 per cent interest per annum. The securities could be issued as rapidly as necessary. A large amount of them would probably be placed at home. If they are good enough for the capitalists, they should be good enough for us. The land is to be deeded to the trust for security. There are to be no strings on the security. He was speaking plainly, so that all might understand. The Judge then referred to the Government bounty on sugar. Even if the law were repealed—and it would certainly not be repealed in this Congress—we would be entitled to receive the subsidy, if the corporation were formed before the act was repealed. The Government may repeal an act, but Congress can pass no act that is retroactive or in the nature of an ex post facto law. If the bounty were repealed, no sugar rolinery established after the passage of the act of repeal would receive the subsidy. But we should continue to draw it if we establish the refinery before the act was repealed. The subsidy on our plant would amount to from $100,000 to $110,000 per year. The bonds would amount to $340,000, and the subsidy would be sufficient to pay off the bonds in three years' time. The stockholders will own their refinery, and it will not have cost them, practically a cent. He had never heard of such a great proposition for the people before. If they take hold of it, they can put it through. If we stand back and wait for some one else to raise the capital and put it up for us, it will never come. It will cost $1,000 to $1,200 to place the bonds. They should be get up in good shape. Each shareholder would be responsible for his share of the liability. Under the law every stockholder is responsible for his proata rate of liability. This law was passed so that stockholders would take an interest in the corporation. But we are not going into this business with any expectancy of landing in the harbor of failure. The enterprise would be a success. It was the greatest thing for the farmers he had ever heard of. That is, it would be if we can raise good boots. If not, course wouldn't. Shareholders might pay for their stock in coin, and not be required to deed their land to the corporation. The Judge then answered various questions that were put to him, subantially as already outlined above, and closed amid great applause. Gen. Pierros then addressed the meeting on the nature of what had been done in the effort to establish the factory here, and what remained in order to get it. The ground was gone over in the General's eloquent way, and he was frequently interrupted with applause. He said there was less risk in going into a trust deed than to get the factory here than to try to farm here without it. He referred to the question of risk in every day life, and said gones be bygones again." [Applause.] One man said that he have no capital guine time.

Judge Widway of the University Bank of Los Angeles was present and addressed the meeting on the financial part of the proposition. It may be said in passing that Judge Widway is regarded as one of the foremost financiers of the State, and that his opinion on money matters is second to that of no other banker in the State. The Judge delivered a very able speech, which was listened to with close attention. He said that he had been waited upon by the Executive Committee, and they had given him an outline of what we were doing in the sugar line. He had been requested to come down and give the people his views about what was necessary in order to make the enterprise a success. He thought the establishment of a sugar factory here a first-class thing and a grand idea. He had been in this valley in '66—that was his first visit here—and found nearly all the country for sale at from 25 to 50 and 75 cents per acre. He had made a sale of a large body of land where Orange and Santa Ana lie for from 25 to 75 cents per acre. To-day all this land is worth $1,000 per acre. The cause of this great change is that different ideas prevail regarding it. The land is just the same. It was all grazing and stock raising in those days, and the men made no more than enough to pay the interest on what they owed. They raised cattle and drove their hordes 400 miles to market. The beavers lost their fat on the way, and consequently the business was not profitable. At that time he had been told that the land was of no account, that the cattle had trampled it to death and that even the desert was enroaching upon it. He remembered people telling that the Colorado and Mojave deserts would one day meet. We are wearing out that old idea. That idea was not profitable in connection with the rich possibilities of the soil. We are enriching the land with brains, and irrigating it with elbow grease and sweat. In those days Anahaim was taking all the water from the Santa Ana river, and San Gabriel was taking it all from the San Gabriel river. We have now a new class of people, and have a new method of carrying out our ideas. Coming down to the question of sugar boats, the Judge said we could raise bests in this country till you couldn't rest. He had seen them growing so plentifully and so big that they weren't worth pulling up. They had been fed to hogs. There was no profit in them then, but if you raise them for sugar, the conditions are changed. With a rhinery here there would be the greatest degree of profit in the industry. But the farmer must own the refinery in order to receive the profits of the concern. If they expected some one else to bring in the capital and erect the refinery they throw their profits away. Two things are necessary—money and work. The Judge went into an extended description of the manifold changes that had taken place in the country since he first visited us. Then the country was filled with badgers and coyotes, now we have magnificent orchards and cities. Even in the early days the soil yielded so abundantly that there was nothing to do but to eat and sleep and get up when you were ready. He remembered one day coming to Anahaim in '66 to transport some business and finding the people all asleep in bed! A voice—What was the time, Judge? The Judge—About 10 o'clock in the morning! Everybody laughed and noted an exception. Continuing, the Judge said that the country had done too much for the people—there was hardly anything at all for them to do. But the times have changed since then. Other communities are pushing ahead, and we must exert ourselves, to keep up with the onward march of civilization. When he rode into town morning and course it wouldn't. Shareholders might pay for their stock in coin, and not be required to deed their land to the corporation. The Judge then answered various questions that were put to him, substantially as already outlined above, and closed amid great applause. Gen. Pierres then addressed the meeting on the nature of what had been done in the effort to establish the factory here, and what remained in order to get it. The ground was gone over in the General's eloquent way, and he was frequently interrupted with applause. He said there was less risk in going into a trust deed to get the factory here than to try to farm hero without it. He referred to the question of risk in every-day life, and said there was risk in everything. He told how the committee had endeavored to raise capital on the previous plan of organization and had failed. They found that no one would advance a dollar on the proposition. The committee were worse off than Diogenes searching for an honest man with a lantern in daytime. He for one was in favor of deeding his land to the trust in order to get the factory. We must meet the question like men, and if we want to inaugurate this great industry here, there must be no standing back. The General closed with reading the following memorial, which will be signed by the Board of Directors and 295 shareholders in the corporation and forwarded to Congressman Bowers immediately: OFFICE OF THE ANAHIM CO-OPERATIVE BIRT SUGAR COMPANY. ANAHIMI ORANGE CO., CAL. To the Congress of the United States—We, the undersigned, Directors of our subscribers to the stock in the Association Co-op largest company noticed the effort of few members in Congress to repeal the law giving bounties for the manufacture of sugar, and that the Hon. Mr. Scott of Illinois introduced a bill on the 11th mast to that effect. This company represents a capital of $800,000-$755,000 of which has been subscribed by 250 farmers whose names are appended hereto, and is organized into two co-operatives: this has an end made possible by provisions of law, which thus encourages and aids the farmers to embark in this new industry. This county goes directly to our farmers, and if maintained and continued during the fifteen years provided in the McKinley tariff law, we believe will develop the sugar industry to such an extent as to render the United States independent of all reliance upon foreign countries for our sugar supply. There are but six sugar manufacturers in operation in the United States, and our company will be the first one organized on the co-operative plan; and if successful, as we have no reason to doubt, it will be the precursor and herald of scores of other factories organized on the same basis—owned and operated by farmers who will richly deserve the bonanza which given to foster and encourage this long-neglected industry. With free sugar the nation saves $565,000,000 per year which was formerly paid by the consumers—the people in the shape of tariff, while the buoyancy paid by the Government will not amount to more than one cent per year. With America self-maintaining in production of sugar it would give employment to a million workers, render productive and profitable thousands of farms, and save the deportation of $156,000,000 in gold annually to pay for sugar produced in alien lands. We therefore enter our most earnest protest against any attempt to replicate this, only because protection law found upon our institute books which is directly in favor of our farmers. With the law established and made secure for the prescribed time of fifteen years, our farmers will have a reasonable certainty as they embark in this new and heretofore regarded problematic industry, that their efforts will not be lost, and their homes sacrificed while they are developing and perfecting here on their own land. We urge upon our Senators and Representatives in Congress the great importance of seeing that the sugar bounty provisions of the McKinley tariff law shall not be disturbed. If the American Congress will do its duty, as it has started out to do, the American farmer will do his full duty toward making our land-supporting, giving employment to labor and wringing from our soil and sun the treasures so richly garnered there.

Mis Soil yielded so abundantly that there was nothing to do but to eat and sleep and got up when you were ready. He remembered one day coming to Anaheim in '66 to transact some business and finding the people all asleep in bed! A voice—What was the time, Judge? The Judge—About 10 o'clock in the morning! Everybody laughed and noted an exception. Continuing, the Judge said that the country had done too much for the people—there was hardly anything at all for them to do. But the times have changed since then. Other communities are pushing ahead, and we must exort ourselves, to keep up with the onward march of civilization. When he rode into town that morning and noted the many changes—all the magnificent orchards and improvements, he had said "Splendid! Splendid!" He was certain that in the coming time this would be the most beautiful place on earth, and that the angels will be trying to change their place of residence and come here—unless the walls be so high they can't come in! He believed that if we start the sugar factory Anaheim will be in the front rank of cities in California. He was satisfied the enterprise could be carried on safely and satisfactorily. If it did not succeed it would simply be a reflection on the people. The sugar factory near Santa Cruz, with 1,200 acres set to beats, had received from the Government this year $88,000 in bounties. The bounties in our case, with 3,000 acres planted to beats, are reasonably counted at $100,000 per year. The Judge then discouraged at length upon the immediate manner of acquiring the capital. There was no bank or people that he knew of with money enough to lend to us for the erection of the factory. It was necessary to issue bonds, the lands set to beats to be trust deeded as security. In there risk in this? Yes, there is risk in anything. Farmers ran risk in raising their crops. And so it is all over the world. Whenever you find a thing without risk you will not be able to get in it. The other fellows will scoop it up every time. Will the people go into the business with this risk? If not, then the matter stops. They are doing the same kind of business in Los Angeles. The electric and cable systems of street railroads are decided to a trust as security for the capital needed to construct them. He was satisfied the bonds would sell, and thought $75,000 of them could be placed in this county, right at home. General Pierce asked what was necessary to be done in order to raise money in this way. Judge Widney replied that first of all, land with good title should be placed in the hands of a trustee. The lands are to be deeded to the corporation, with the agreement that when the bonded expenditure is paid up, the land is to be returned to the owner. The next step is to issue bonds. The memorial was adopted unanimously. Mr. Fowler said the time for words had passed, and the time for action was at hand. He for one was ready to put his land into the corporation, and had already secured one hundred acres from parties not in the previous corporation. [Applause.] General Pierce said he was the first man in his section to put his name down for the factory, and he would be the last to get out of it. [Applause.] His land was ready to go into the corporation. Mr. Dimmock of Westminster said he had a mortgage on his place, and he thought he had to drop out of it. Mr. Fowler said he was not so sure of that. In all probability the mortgager would give his assent to putting the land in the corporation, as his security would be very much enhanced. Gustave Hansen and Theo. Borth said they had bought land here to go into beet raiding, and would go into the corporation. Mr. Jones, in the Chair—"All those who want to go into the corporation, hold up your hands." A lot of hands wont up, and the Chairman said the number was satisfactory. He hoped to see the hands all up at the next meeting. Mr. Bill of Garden Grove said he thought the factory site ought to be located. Mr. Fowler stated that the factory site would be located by the stock, voting at a stockholders' meeting. Mr. Fowler also said the dead of trust would be prepared and could be seen at the bank by next Monday. Mr. Beckett of Garden Grove asked how it was that the capital which Mr. Capitain claimed to have represented failed to come to time—how it was that he slipped up on the arrangements. Mr. Capitain stated with some warmth that he had acted entirely in good faith all through the matter, and that when he had gone for the capital after the three thousand acres had been subscribed in the original corporation, he found that it was not ready. He was as much put out as any man in the room over it, and was determined to redouble his efforts to get the factory here.

[Applause.] One man said that as a matter of fact we have no capital guaranteed at the present time. Mr. Jones—My dear sir, we can never guarantee a dollar until we see it. [Laughter.] Mr. Jones then read the following: "The conditions that prevailed making it desirable to erect a sugar refinery when we were most hopeful and enthusiastic prevail just the same to-day. And they are about as follows: We have productive lands—can raise almost any crop in abundance. A few years ago these crops could be sold at a living price, because there were more consumers than producers; but lately producers are increasing much more rapidly than consumers; hence the impossibility of selling our crops on the Pacific coast. There are farmers enough now on this coast to glut the market with every consignable product, from a peanut to a 100-pound pumpkin, and with all kinds of grain, hay and fruit all in the same year. In fact, we can more than supply this market with every farm product consumed by man or boat, except sugar. And sugar has to be imported into our midst for our own consumption by the millions of pounds, while we have the best land in the world for the culture of the sugar beet. And if in put beats that land would pay from $30 to $100 per acre clear every year, while now is hardy pays for its cultivation, and is becoming less profitable all the time. Now what are we going to do about it? Do we want to better our condition? Have we ambition enough for it? Have we courage, energy and backbone enough to make the venture of conveying a small portion of our lands to a trustee, selected by ourselves, as security for a loan, that the government will enable us to pay off even before maturity, when we ourselves will become owners of a handsome and profitable establishment. Geometron, I think we are ready. You know "Paint heart never won fair lady." Unless we do something for ourselves, who will do it for us? Who is so much interested in our welfare we are ourselves? Then if we expect to better our condition let us act at once." [Applause.] A vote of thanks was extended Mr. Capitain for his labors in trying to start the sugar factory corporation. It was announced that Mr. Krueger would furnish beet seed to all farmers desiring them at cost price. Mr. Krueger will also give instructions about planting and saring for them.

The case was stubbornly fought, and will be shortly seen again for the second trial. Mr. Littlefield shipped fifty boxes of navel oranges from his new orchard at Plaza centia to Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago and his advice say they went at from $2 75 to $3 25 per box.

Smith, Theo Berth, Domingo Basta chury, H. Krueger, G. Hansen and F. J. Capitain will be presented to the Board of Directors of the irrigation district at their next meeting, asking that their lands be set out of the district. The petition sets forth that no part of the said lands can be benefited by the system proposed by the district, and that said lands can be irrigated better and more cheaply by another system which the petitioners propose to adopt. Herman Dickel went up to Los Angeles to see the Citrus Fair and brought home some photographs of the orange show.

A legless corpse with an arm off had been washed up by the sea below San Juan, and the Coroner was telegraphed to go down and see about it. The corpse had evidently been in the water a month or so, and had passed out of all possibility of indentification. The Coroner held the inquiry all the same. He says it was a terror—the worst yet. It also takes us three weeks to catch on to an important item of news heroabouts, but we plead guilty this time and promise to do batter in future. We noticed, too, about three weeks ago that Arthur Lewis was all covered with amides and came near asking what he tug of war team was in town a day or two ago, getting ready for his suit against the managers of the recent Santa Ana tag of war, in which his team won the first prize but could not get their money.

Miss Arthur has been requested to start an evening class and will probably do so next Saturday. Here is a splendid chance for our young folks to learn how to dance. Those of our young dudes in town who can't dance will be given especial attention. Even if they be as awkward as Clarence McPadden of the story, they will be taught to dance, or their money will be refunded. Hall Game Sunday. The Anahaim Baseball Club will play the Tufts-Lyons club from Los Angeles next Sunday on the home grounds. The local club will be made up as follows: Mefford, c.; F. Mallet, p.; Peters, first; Koorner, second; Magoffin, third; J. Mallott, short; Wetzel, right; Wommer, center; Adams, left. This is the strongest team ever got together on the local diamond, and will give the Angel City baseball队 a game. All local "Jana" are expected to be out at the park and root for the home team. Play begins at 2 o'clock. We Win a Game. Our gilt-edged aggregation of ball tossers knocked the Garden Grove boys into smithereens at baseball on the home grounds last Saturday, 14 to 9—great, wasn't it? The Grove boys put up a rattling good game, but they weren't in it with our gilt-edged people. The peat landers may be able to take us into camp, but we walk away with the Grove people every time. Demonstrating that we are still the people. Notice the third inning. Following is the score: ANAHIM R.O GARDEN GROVE R.O CLUPS ANAHEIM R.O GARDEN GROVE R.O CLUPS ANAHEIM 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 0 8 0 0 1 2 3 0-14 0 0 8 0 0 1 2 3 0-14 Garden Grove down in Diok Egan's territory one day last week that made his hair curl. A legless corpse with an arm off had been washed up by the sea below San Juan, and the Coroner was telegraphed to go down and see about it. The corps had evidently been in the water a month or so, and had passed out of all possibility of indentification. The Coroner held the inquest all the same. He says it was a terror—the worst yet. It seldom takes us three weeks to catch on to an important item of news hereabouts, but we plead guilty this time and promise to do better in future. We noticed, too, about three years ago that Arthur Lewis was all covered with smiles and came near asking him what it was all about. We know now. The cause was arrival of a bouncing baby boy at his home about that time. Mother and child are doing well, and the old man has about got over it. We have received a copy of the Los Angeles Illustrated Herald, a very fine publication of some forty-eight pages and fifty beautiful illustrations. It is the twelfth publication of the series, and we believe is the most artistic that has yet been issued by the Herald. Among the engravings is one giving the counterfeit presentment of our friend Tim Carroll, which shows up very well. The Illustrated Herald has become a feature in Southern California journalism. Zoilo Vejar of Pomona met with a painful accident while visiting at the residence of Dave Yorba on Monday. He was in the act of removing a pistol from his buggy when he dropped the weapon, which was discharged, the ball passing through the palm of his right hand, shattering the bone of the small finger and coming out at the ball of the thumb. Dr. Bullard was summoned and dressed the wound. The young man is getting along as well as could be expected under the circumstances. It is reported that the owners of the San Joaquin pitch are prospecting for a suitable place to put a submerged dam in the Santiago creek to develop water for the use of the ranch. Stockholders in the Santiago Water Company regard this movement with some apprehension, but will probably not interfere so long as their rights are not infringed. The improvements to be made by the San Joaquin pitch people to get water en their lauds will cost, it is said, a couple of hundred thousand dollars. The water in the canyon should be developed. Too much of it allowed to waste, every day in the year. The jury in the case of the People vs. Lyman Ayres, charged with having defrauded H. S. Baldwin in a land deal on the Cadman tract north of town, disagreed and were next room sat his sobbing wife, rocking a crying baby to sleep. The house seemed turned upside down. There was the silence of death about the premises, save for the sobbing and the crying of the babe. The strangers in the house walked on tiptoe and conversed in whispers. And so the body was prepared for burial. Dr. Clark of Fullerton examined the body. The right and left shoulder blades were found to be broken, and the left leg was broken at the knee. The body had conclusions about the head, arms, back and legs. The only blood to be seen was where Stoole bit his tongue, when he was strack by the engine. The Coroner's inquiry was held in the afternoon. The man who was working in the ditch with Stoele; Engineer Gamble; Fromm Higgins and others were called as witnesses. The testimony was substantially as outlined above. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, and exonerated the trainmen from all blame. Steele was in very poor circumstances and was scantily clad. He wore blue overalls, a woolen shirt, cheap shoes and socks and no underclothes. In his pockets was found $4.35, which was turned over to his wife. The theory that he committed suicide is preposterous. He was looking intently at the freight train ahead of him, and was altogether oblivious of the approaching danger behind him. Monday night he had had some words with Grooscyman Dunn at Fullerton, and it is said both came to blows. The row was even some money which it is said Dunn owed Mrs. Steele for scrubbing and whitowashing. Of course no blame can attach to the train men. Engineer Gamble did all in his power to warn the unfortunate man. He was making thirty-five miles an hour, at which rate an engine cannot be stopped inside a thousand feet. He expressed great sorrow for the accident, but of course is entirely blameless. He has been a locomotive engineer for twenty-two years and is known all over the country as one of the best and most painstaking engineers that ever pulled a throttle. He never had an accident of this nature until last January, when he ran over and killed a little child at San Gabriel. It was raining very hard at the time and he could not see the child, which was lying down close to the rail. He ran over it, and did not know of it until informed of it after the run. The jury investigated the case, and exonerated him. Gamble pulled the first train over the California Southern from Colton to San Diego ten years ago, and he pulled the first train through Anahaim in the Santa Fe. Steele had lately arrived from East. The remains were interred yesterday. The dead man's widow and her child have the sympathy of all in their great bereavement. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. ISAAC LYONS, ...DEALER IN... Groceries, :- Provisions!
