The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel, Charles Kuchel, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. THURSDAY...MARCH 7, 1895 THE PACIFIC BEET COMPANY. We observe with interest that our friend Mr. E. Possum Fowler, run to earth, takes refuge under the protecting wing of our friend Lawyer Sheldon Borden of Los Angeles, who undertakes to offer sweet words of palliation for his sins. Mr. Borden, in explaining in his "open letter" the status of the gentleman's relations to this Sugar Factory on Wheels, says: Afterwards an additional subscription was made by you [Fowler] for some 250 shares and by Mr. Capitain for a like amount, and you thereby became liable to the corporation for the par value of the stock, payable at your option in land at $125 per acre; If you failed to convey the land, the corporation had the right to proceed against you for the collection of the amount of your subscription. Your liability was precisely the same as that of all subscribers to the capital stock of a corporation. Precisely. The President has no deed to this land, and so far as the requirements of the by-laws of the corporation may be deemed to be applicable thereto, judging by the ruling in every other case, we might just as well have undertaken to deed in 250 acres of land owned by Mr. Borden. But the President is liable for this stock, to the extent of $125 per acre, says our friend. He purchases this land at $35 per acre, and is liable at the rate of $125 per acre. How does he meet this liability? By quietly transferring his landed possessions—180 acres if we remember rightly—to his wife, and is thereby enabled to snap his finger, so far as his liability is concerned, to the stockholders, Mr. Borden, and everyone else. How vastly different would have been the standing of this amiable gentleman had his actions been characterized by that same fairness and honorable spirit manifested by Mr. Dyer, who purchased 300 acres outright and deeded them into the corporation, to bear their just proportion of the company's liability! We fail to see any record of Mr. Dyer's transferring his property out of his hands to escape any liability that adverse winds might blow his way. No other stockholder in the company, that we now recall, has done so, save and alone the President of the corporation. We do not undertake to criticise his actions because he might make money by owning land near the proposed site of the factory. Very far from it. But we ask, With $350 invested in the sugar house—with 10 acres of land at $35 per acre in the trust deed, and a land speculation on the outside standing "3,000 acres of clear land were secured." What was the matter of Fowler's and Capitain's land all this time? Why was not that purchased and deeded in it, they had so much faith in the company? Think you the these 3,000 acres had been deeded in if the farmers had known that the promoters of the enterprise had failed to comply with the requirements mapped out for them? Not a bit of it. This whole transaction has been characterized by unfairness all the way through. Why do so many stockholders wish to get out, a number publicly proclaiming their desire to do so, and many inwardly resolving to do everything in their power to get out? Because they have no further faith in the two gentlemen at the head of the corporation. They feel that they have been unfairly dealt with and deceived, and they do not confide to place their interests further in the hands of these two men. At the meeting of stockholders two years ago, at which the Beet and Land Company sought to vote 1,200 shares, represented by that number of acres of land then under course of honorable acquisition by them, Mr. Fowler, acting under the advice of a Los Angeles lawyer whose name he refused to reveal, autocratically denied the representatives of the company the right to vote, saying that insamuch as the lands were not paid for (as evidenced again in his letter in the Independent two weeks ago), it would be unfair to those who had paid up to permit this block of stock to be voted! The representatives of the Beet and Land Company at the meeting that day were Mr. Zeyn, Mr. Dickel and Mr. Chynoweth. They will bear us out in this statement: They were not permitted to vote, and they left the hall, and their company was disorganized. How does Mr. Fowler's and Mr. Capitain's 535 acres of land stand in the light of this transaction? According to Mr. Borden, they are permitted to vote this stock, but they are liable (!) at the rate of $125 per acre for each acre of the tract! How ridiculous! How do they meet this liability? According to Mr. Dyer, Capitain has no money to pay for his land, and Fowler deeds his wife 180 acres so that it may escape its just pro rata of the company's liability. If Fowler and Capitain are liable at the rate of $125 per acre for the tract of 535 acres, which are not paid for, and to which they have not acquired title, so is every farmer proportionately liable for $125 for each of his five, ten or twenty acres deeded in and paid for and a deed to them absolutely given the company. We have shown that there is one law in this corporation for Fowler and Capitain, and another for the farmers; one law for Fowler and Capitain, and another for the farmers; one law for Fowler and Capitain, In conversation with Mr. McFarland other day, he informed us that he had a puffy orange in his orchard, and if orchardists would follow his there would never be another purchase their crop, because of a tendency that has remained upon the trees, firm until such time as suited his convulsion would best subserve his interest market. His plan is this: Orchard firm and solid if kept growing is the secret of it all. This can be by irrigation and cultivation. My ardents irrigate but once or twice in and depend upon the rains to carry through the season. As soon as their just proportion of the company's liability! We fail to see any record of Mr. Dyer's transferring his property out of his hands to escape any liability that adverse winds might blow his way. No other stockholder in the company, that we now recall, has done so, save and alone the President of the corporation. We do not undertake to criticise his actions because he might make money by owning land near the proposed site of the factory. Very far from it. But we ask, With $350 invested in the sugar house—with 10 acres of land at $35 per acre in the trust deed, and a land speculation on the outside standing to turn him in thousands upon thousands of dollars of profit—we ask, where does his interest lie—in the sugar house, or in the land? We undertake to say, and we say it without fear of successful contradiction, that if all these facts that have latterly come out relating to Fowler's and Capitain's dealings with the corporation had been known at the recent stockholders' meeting—that if the stockholders present had understood the former possessed but ten shares in the corporation, when he ostentationally announced he had 265—and that the latter's holdings amounted to a similar acreage—if the stockholders had known that both had decided in 535 acres of land to which they had not acquired title—neither of them had been elected a Director. If our criticism of this nest of thimbliger-gers has been the means of stopping sales in the corporation, we think it has been of some service to those who, while yet on the outside, with their property clear of this mortgage trust, might unwarily be placed in the position of those who, believing they are stockholders in a company dominated by scheming rogues, are now engaged in an earnest, albeit it seems to us a futile endeavor to get out. But when the correspondent, who mentions this fact in a letter to our esteemed contemporary, the Independent, seeks to insinuate that our dealing with the irrigation district or with all other corporations or men have not been characterized by honesty and fair dealing, he proclaims himself an infamous lying scoundrel, whom everybody connected with the irrigation district, for or against, as well as all others to whom he may have the hardihood to refer, must proclaim a low-lived and cowardly liar. So much for him. Of course we think these Directors have placed themselves within the pale of the law in all their transactions. Acting under the advice of Mr. Borden, they could not well have done otherwise. But a man may be within the purview of the law and be a scheming thimbliger-griging scoundrel just the same. Fowler is liable for his 265 acres "deeded in," (to which he has not acquired title) to be sure, at the rate of $125 per acre. Precisely so. But when he turns on his hoels and seeks to evade liability by deeding away all his possessions, what are we to say about him then? It is pleasant to contemplate the fact that Mr. Borden has taken our friend, Mr. E. Possum Fowler, in out of the wet. We have no doubt that, acting under Mr. Borden's advice, his actions are all within the purview of the law. But does Mr. Borden consider the gentleman's actions to be those of an honorable gentleman, who does not care to be looked upon with distrust by those who do they meet this liability? According to Mr. Dyer, Capitain has no money to pay for his land, and Fowler deeds his wife 180 acres so that it may escape its just pro rata of the company's liability. If Fowler and Capitain are liable at the rate of $125 per acre for the tract of 535 acres, which are not paid for, and to which they have not acquired title, so is every farmer proportionately liable for $125 for each of his five, ten or twenty acres deeded in and paid for and a deed to them absolutely given the company. We have shown that there is one law in this corporation for Fowler and Capitain, and another for the farmers; one law for Fowler and Capitain, and another for the Beet and Land Company; one law for these pampered pets of the corporation, and another for the great body of honest stockholders who compose it. This must not be permitted to go further. Either they must pay up on their subscription like the other stockholders, or this sugar company must not be permitted to go on with them at its head. Mr. Borden is frank in his utterances. He says it is the purpose of the Directors "to mortgage these incumbered lands" (the lands outside of the trust deed) "for a working capital, it being conceded that the proceeds of the bonds would barely cover the cost of the factory." Precisely so. The lands outside the trust deed amount to 449 acres—so we are informed by a letter signed "Director" in the Independent two weeks ago. Messrs. Fowler and Capitain have 535 acres outside of the trust deed—so we are told—which they are liable for!—and the sum total of all these lands in the corporation, we are assured on the other hand, is 449! Who is lying here? Either the person signing himself "Director," or the gentlemen interested in the land deal. But suppose the lands out of the trust deed are not 449 acres, but 535 acres, the amount of these two gentlemen's subscription. We have shown they do not own an acre of it, and in the name of common sense how much money will they be enabled to raise upon it for a working capital? Not a cent, in our opinion. We publicly proclaim this entire transaction fraudulent, and we warn all the stockholders to look well to their interests before permitting this great enterprise to go ahead with these two men at its head. We protest against the impending ruination of the farmers and others having dealings with them. We have all along conceded that it would be a hard job to bring this factory to successful consummation, what with its stupendous debt of $300,000 to start with, and interest payments of $18,000 annually to be met, even with the exercise of the strictest economy, and the work of the Directors characterized by perfect honesty and square dealing. But with the record of two of the leading spirits of the Directorate, one of them the President of the company, and the other the architect of the factory buildings, strwn with broken promises and tainted with double dealing and with suspicion of fraud, we say the great undertaking ought not to be permitted to go forward with them at the helm. We speak out in defense of the great body of farmers who are being led on to irretrievable and irreparable disaster—for the widow and the orphan drawn into the corporation. Rather than have the corporation tincreted even with the minutest suspicion of fraud, let this Sugar Factory on Wheels be brought to a standstill and the company dis- FREES, March 5—R. V. De Selma, a relative of John Daggett on Francisco mint, has had H. K. Lem G. H. Woods arrested for selling manufactured petrification of a humane Lemmon was found by the officers zona, and Woods was caught in Los Angeles. In June, 1892, according to Dagger plaint, Lemmon and Woods perished by a half interest in a petrification $2,250. The complaint says: "Said It is pleasant to contemplate the fact that Mr. Borden has taken our friend, Mr. E. Possum Fowler, in out of the wet. We have no doubt that, acting under Mr. Borden's advice, his actions are all within the purview of the law. But does Mr. Borden consider the gentleman's actions to be those of an honorable gentleman, who does not care to be looked upon with distrust by those who know him best? Would Mr. Borden care to have him at the head of his business household? We rather think not. Mr. Borden continues further along as follows: It was understood that none of the incumbered land could be included in the trust deed, and that the company should retain it or a reasonable time to afford the subscribers an opportunity to clear it up. After some delay, 3,000 acres of land was secured and incorporated in the trust deed; I understood and I am sure the Directors with whom I am in correspondence understood that the tract of 558 acres conveyed by you and Mr. Capitain was not paid for and that it could not be embraced in the deed. Of course not. We agree with our learned friend entirely. None of these 535 acres of incumbered land could be included in the trust deed; but it had been publicly given out that both Capitain and Fowler had deeded in this land, and the conviction was of course general that when they did so they followed the example exacted by them of the hundreds of farmers, who were compelled to pay for their land, acquire title and deed it in without a flaw. We say the conviction was general that they followed the course required of others—they were bending their energies to secure land enough for the trust deed—and of what avail would their lands be if not deeded in fairly and honestly? Why should they prescribe a rule for others which they did not follow themselves? Of what use was their land to be? Was it to be used as a decoy to lure others into a compact and to assume obligations which they would not assume themselves? If Fowler had his money in bank ready to pay for his 250 acres when Capitain should have raised his part of the money, why did he not pay up and deed in when he had become reasonably well assured that his partner could not raise the money for his share of the land? Or was the condition precedent to his purchase, that his partner raise money which the indications were he was not liable soon to get? "After some delay," says Mr. Borden, But with the record of two of the leading spirits of the Directorate, one of them the President of the company, and the other the architect of the factory buildings, strwn with broken promises and tainted with double dealing and with suspicion of fraud, we say the great undertaking ought not to be permitted to go forward with them at the helm. We speak out in defense of the great body of farmers who are being led on to irretrievable and irreparable disaster—for the widow and the orphan drawn into the corporation. Rather than have the corporation tinctured even with the minutest suspicion of fraud, let this Sugar Factory on Wheels be brought to a standstill and the company disorganized. Or let it be effectually purged of all suspicion of fraud of every shape, form or fashion. Of course, we have no means of ascertaining the identity of the correspondent who writes to the Independent to say that our exposure of fraud in the Pacific Sugar Company has had the effect of stopping sales of land in the company entirely, and who then switches around and charges us by implication with turning against the "irrigation company" for and in consideration of a one thousand dollar taxlist which the Directors of that corporation were pleased to give us, and to pay us for. Of course, this is not true; and, of course, the author of it is not only a silly falseifier, but an infamous scoundrel as well. If we turned on the "irrigation company" for this consideration, or any other, the Directors of the "company"—Messrs. Korn, Porter, Staley, Caroll and Stadtegger—or the gentlemen through whose efforts the district was disorganized—Messrs. Botsford, Ryan, Crowther, Amerige, Cargill, Rev. Tombes, Rborer, Klokke, Spencer, Benchley, not to mention others—all of them honorable gentlemen who would scorn to do a dishonest act, are jointly implicated in the deal, either one or the other, with us, and we shall not permit them to escape their share of the infamy of it. If this correspondent, who has not lived here long enough to learn the name of the organization whose Directors he attempts to cover with his mantle of infamy, can point to one item or one word or deed of care in extenuation or proof of his lying declaration, or can get either one of the gentlemen named to do as much, or to say that the work was not honorably secured and cheaply done, we will pay him $500 at the Citizens' Bank to-morrow morning. Our relations with the irrigation district are an first class and always gives satisfaction. At present he has not this city, but expects to take up residence here in the near future you want estimates on cement work him at Anaheim and the same will issued cheerfully and promptly.

The complaint says: "Saw was not, on that date, and never petrified body of a human being being, or a petrifaction at all, but is a manufactured or molded statue." FRESNO, March 5.-Hi Rapelje to-day from a raid upon cattle thief had their headquarters near the hearth of Cantua creek, among the Coastal mountains, in the western part of town. These thieves had stolen at head of cattle in San Benito county, driven them to Fresno and sold butchers. The gang numbered ten teenen, all Mexicans. Rapelje locates thieves, and, by pre-arrangement, cera from San Benito county at the Cantua, and making a dash up there came upon the thieves by surprise tured twelve of them. The other nine of the gang were absent or all were been arrested. This capture was made where the famous bandit Murietta, had his hiding place for ago. The country is almost as wide it was at that time. The officers from Benito set out for that county prisoners, as the warrants had been to them. The Discovery Saved His Life. Mr. G.

Daggett of Elma, a relative of John Daggett of the San Francisco mint, has had H. K. Lemmon and H. Woods arrested for selling him a manufactured petrification of a human body. Lemmon was found by the officers in Arizona, and Woods was caught in Los Angeles. In June, 1992, according to Daggett's complaint, Lemmon and Woods perasured him to a half interest in a petrification for 250. The complaint says: "Said statue trees have been singularly free from bearing this kind of fruit, and while growers in other sections have been pushed to move their crop, because of a tendency to puff, his soil remained upon the trees, firm and solid, until such time as suited his convenience or should bet subserve his interests in the market. His plan is this: Oranges will keep firm and solid if kept growing. That the secret of it all. This can be achieved by irrigation and cultivation. Many orchidists irrigate but once or twice in the Fall, and depend upon the rains to carry their trees through the season. As soon as the leaves show the first disposition to curl, they should irrigate again, and the ground kept always in a proper state of cultivation. The ground should not under any consideration permit to bake, but should be kept cultivated by harrowing, especially when the fruit has set and is turning into the opening stage. In a word, if you wish to avoid puffing, irrigate your trees and keep your orchard cultivated. At least that is why Mac 'gets shut' of puffy fruit, and the system seems to us to be theoretically correct, and he assures us it practically so, we give it to the public, with the hope that there would never be another puffy orange in the country. PLACENTIA POINTERS. Capt. Wrede has purchased the Richfield depot and will have it moved onto his walnut ranch on Placentia Avenue Ed. Kraemer has the job of moving it. Grains of all kinds are looking well and bid fair to an immense crop. Never have the hills looked so green with grasses and grain. Wild flowers are in such profusion everywhere one can certainly enjoy life here. It is Paradise itself and Placentia is right in it. With a prospect of two railroads before another season, surely we have a bright prospect before us. J. B. McCullough and wife are visiting friends here. They are always welcome and come often. The apricot trees are loaded with blossoms and bid fair to bear a heavy crop this season. Oranges are moving out very fast. They are of superior quality. A large number of trees are being set out this year; mostly orange. Cabbage are moving out now. Two cars left last week. They are very fine and there is a good crop. The union will have fully seventy-five cars. The season it looked rather dark for the crop, but within the past ten days they have commenced to move and are in good demand. Arthur Stailey met with quite a serious accident on Sunday last while returning home from Fullerton. His horse kicked the buggy to pieces, throwing Arthur to the ground and injuring him quite severely. At last accounts he was doing well.

The sudden death of Susan Fenimore Cooper, second daughter of James Fenimore Cooper, the famous author, takes away one of the most prominent women in our country. The 82 years of her life were uninterruptedly busy. In her youth she was the secretary and often the amanuensis of her father. In her maturity she contributed to the press and wrote several books, which had a wide circulation. In 1873 she started an orphanage in Cooperstown, which grew in a few years to be a large and successful institution. In 1886 she established the Friendly society, a benevolent organization whose purpose is the succor and adoption of orphan children. She took an active interest in all the questions of her time and was more or less identified with the many liberal and progressive movements which sprang into being in the present century. Her nearest relatives in this city are two nephews, one of whom, Walter Cooper, has attained some distinction as a writer of clever verse. New York Mail and Express.
