The Weekly Gazette. ISSUE EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel. Charles Kuchel. EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. THURSDAY...FEBRUARY 6, 1896. Many of our citizen orange growers have received from a source they well understand a diminutive sheet bearing the title Orange Trade Reporter, purporting to be published by the Orange Publishing Co., Los Angeles, Cal. This sheet is loaded to the brim with an offensive article, false, malicious and misleading regarding the exchange method of marketing oranges. The article purports to have been written from Riverside, January 14th to the Producers Advocate, Philadelphia, over the saintly signature of "Parson Waitamute." This suggestive signature plainly indicates the source from which the false and misleading statements made by the author were inspired. "Wait a minute" and "wait a while" has often and earnestly been sounded in the ears of the orange growers of this section of California by the agents of the Earl Fruit Company and other outside shipers in appeals to them against placing their fruit under control of the exchange. Now we would suggest to the "Parson" that he is banking too heavily upon the credulity of the orange growers of this section of California, and that it will be well for him to heed the remark made upon a certain occasion by the lamented Lincoln, "That while it may be possible to fool a whole community once, and possibly a portion of the community a second time, but impossible to fool a whole community more than once." The orange growers of California are not lacking in experience. They have accumulated evidence of the manner in which they have been robbed. They have monkeyeyed to their sorrow with the wily method of these rapacious outside shippers in the disposal of their oranges in seasons past, and are thoroughly earnest in the determination that they have no future use for the expensive luxuries they have been accustomed to receive at their hands. The Earl Fruit Co., alias "Parson Waitamute," well understand that the orange grower has no kick against the exchange system. This fact is painful in digestion to these outside shippers, and they really resort to unsurpulous methods to create distrust and discussion among the orange growers regarding the paternity of the exchange system. Several friends possessed of from one to five thousand dollars each, who are looking for a place to locate. Mr. Rogers has kindly answered all the questions asked, and should the immigrants come this way they would have no cause to regret it. THE SUGAR HOUSE ON WHEELS. EDITOR GAZETTE:—I see by your paper that there is a meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim Co-operative sugar factory is called for February 10th to elect a new board of Directors, and I earnestly hope they will elect a board that will call for the immediate disorganization of the wind sugar house on wheels. I hope the stockholders all will be present and vote your own stock, and not give your proxies to any one to vote for you. I will state, and I think all of you that have any common sense know that there is no bank or any capitalists that will advance $600,000 on about $300,000 of security. The Directors say as usual that the chances were never better to sell those bonds. That has been the song for the last four years. Stockholders do not swallow any more of those old pills any longer, and be bull-dozed by those men telling you, as the old farmer said to his horse in a dry year, "live horse and you will get grass." This story we have been told now for four long years, and the Directors have simply accomplished nothing. If we had the amount of security required, we can get all the money right here at home in California, without the aid of a lot of schemers, brokers, middlemen and God only knows who else, and we have to pack the burden, and pay those pirates thirty to fifty thousand dollars for brokerage. Now as I have said before, the bounty on sugar will never again be allowed by the government of the United States. It is wrong and should never have been allowed. In regard to the tariff on sugar, all of you who have watched and read the reports of the actions of the present House of Congress and also of the Senate, that they have placed a tariff on nearly everything with the single exception of sugar. Those Directors will tell you on the 10th day of February, to wait until the next government gets in and then you will get relief. Well now, great God, is not the very man running the ship and steering both Houses at present? That they say will give us more rope. Let me telly on, if those Republicans intended to increase the tariff on sugar, they would have done so at the same time when they increased the tariff on all the other articles, and it will not be changed to my mind. If any small increase is put on sugar it will not take place for three long years. Some of us want to sell out, others want to trade their places, and some unfortunates would like to mortgage their land and raise a little money to keep the wolves from the door.

BEET SUGAR IN CALIFORNIA The question of whether or not beet sugar can be profitably manufactured in California without a hoody continues to occupy siderable space in the papers of the St. The agricultural editor of the Chronicle been writing a number of articles on the subject, in which he takes up the question in straight-forward and unprejudiced manner. In regard to the cost of manufacturing sugar he says that sugar is worth in this matter whatever it can be imported for, until local market is supplied; after which surplus will be worth the New York price less the cost of shipping it there. At present there is no overland rate to New York, and sugar goes there; but the rate to the souri river is one-half cent a pound, and summably the rate to New York would be same, for if raw sugar should go there, ditions would probably permit no high rate. In considering the value of raw sugar for eastern shipment, therefore, the price would be $3 cents, based on the current New York price of $3 cents. The Chronicle says: "With a yield of one pound of sugar seven pounds of beets, which is a little than the reported Watsonville yield, a beet would yield 286 pounds of sugar, worth at $31 cents,$929. If average price paid for beets was $42 probably not far out of the way—the price to the factory was $5 per ton, less the cost manufacture. "If-the factory were to get the one-cent local profit—as is actually the case Chino and Alvarado—the raw sugar from ten of beets would be worth $1071,a cents,andthefactoryprofit$642,lesscostofmakingtherawsugar.Iftheofmanufacturebe$250—andweknowwhatitis—thereisanetprofittofactoryof$392pertonofbeetsonallsoldinthelocalmarket,southernitisit row with the wily method of these rapacious outside shippers in the disposal of their oranges in seasons past, and are thoroughly earnest in the determination that they have no future use for the expensive luxuries they have been accustomed to receive at their hands. The Earl Fruit Co., alias "Parson Waitaminate," well understand that the orange grower has no kick against the exchange system. This fact is painful in digestion to these outside shippers, and they really resort to unscrupulous methods to create distrust and discussion among the orange growers regarding the paternity of the exchange system. The orange growers, for the protection of their industry, were forced to organize, and they, having created the exchange system, are content and well satisfied with its result, and they will guard and protect this offspring of their own from all assaults from its enemies; of this fact the philanthropic Parson can rest assured. As herein above stated, evidence is not wanting of the rascally method of robbery pursued by the gentlemen commission men in the past seasons. On the contrary they are quite too numerous in this locality in the shape of violated contracts, statements of account of sales, etc., which have been lessons quite too expensive to the orange grower to be readily forgotten. While the author of the letter referred to makes no specific charges, his arraignment of the exchange system is general, holding it responsible for all the ills that can possibly fall upon the orange producing industry. In alluding to the present depressed condition of the fruit market in the Eastern cities, he states: The markets, as the telegraphic reports arriving show, tell the story of disastrous results caused by the reckless and vicious war that the officials of the fruit exchanges are waging against the f. o. b. system of marketing the orange crop. While the situation, as it confronts all interested parties since the frost, is discouraging enough, yet under the favorable conditions existing throughout the country, there is no room to doubt, but that the crop, slightly damaged as a considerable portion of it is, could be moved out with considerable success and a fair net return to the growers realized, had not this senseless war been inaugurated, which is more than doubly agravating the evil situation. This rockless and vicious war on the part of the fruit exchanges is simply a frenzied imagination of the Parson. He well knows the true cause of the depression in prices. He knows that the Earl Fruit company early in December inaugurated the plan of slaughtering the orange industry. And to this end employed all available force for packing and dumping upon Eastern markets the fruit under their control regardless of grade or condition. The larger portion of the fruit being immature, and consequently worthless, has been forced upon such markets as could be reached, and this with the obvious purpose of discrediting the character of the fruit of California. The experiment has been too expensive, we imagine, to its inaugurers to make its repetition desirable to them. The Earl Fruit Company and all other outside shippers can rest assured that the exchange system is a creation of the orange grower; that it is here to stay until its purpose of placing the orange industry upon a basis which shall not only encourage but afford to the orange grower just and fair About the Editor's Wedding A LONG AND JOYOUS FUTURE.

Alex Henry, Caledonia, West Anaheim, Feb. 5, 1896. BUENA PARK ITEMS. EDITOR GAZETTE.-Seeing by the last number of your valuable paper that you are away behind the times in one thing at least. I take the liberty of informing you that I retired from public life as general manager of the railroad business at Northam station on the 15th of August last, and am now devoting my entire time to the ranch. I supposed your regular correspondent at this place had kept you better posted on the events happening hereabouts. Mr. W. Frazier is at present the efficient agent at Northam, and all who may have business of any kind to transact with the Santa Fe company at that station will find Mr. Frazier a very accommodating and obliging young gentleman. I occasionally go over for a social chat, and always find the latch string on the outside, and can spend a very pleasant hour at any time at my old haunts, where I spent two and a half years very pleasantly in the Santa Fe's employ, and as far as my experience went found them all, both employers and employees, courteous and obliging in all their relations with each other as well as with their patrons. B. F. Pritchard is beautifying his warehouse at Northam, both wall and roof, with a fresh coat of paint. There has been many and varied improvements in that section since I took charge of the tramps' rendezvous nearly three years ago. In fact at that time it looked more like some old deserted mining camp than the property of a wealthy railroad corporation, but the Santa Fe company never fails to improve and beautify their property when the business prosperity of the place will justify them in doing so.

This is good news for the farmers, and a large acreage will probably be planted to beets, amounting to at least 2,000 acres.

As leap year will not come again for eight years there seems to be a disposition among the more interested sex to make the most of the present opportunity. Leap year clubs are forming in many parts of the country. The general idea of the clubs is to give private social parties at which the girls take the part usually taken by men. They invite the young men, call for them, and escort them to and from the place where the function is held, and, it is alleged, foot the bills.

It thinks is only justice to those who published so-called audit's report to explain in regard to the difference between the one publication before the stockholders meeting and then read at that meeting. First allow me to that I furnished the figures used in Blade's article, which appeared just prior to the election, and was so laudatory of old Board of Directors. It also showed me push of an active daily for increase of circulation, because every stockholder of A. U. W.

U. W.

One sentence that appeared in Tribune reported had been approved by a majority, but changed the morning that the port was given to that paper and by mistake was not changed on the copy furnished there The other changes were made afterwards For the reason that they were criticism financial policy of the board and we were not fully satisfied whether that was a proof of our duties or not, and so out them Saturday morning, Jan. 25th.

Question of whether or not beet sugar profitably manufactured in California a bounty continues to occupy conspicuous space in the papers of the State. Cultural editor of the Chronicle has writing a number of articles on the subject which he takes up the question in a forward and unprejudiced manner. It is to the cost of manufacturing sugar, that sugar is worth in this market or it can be imported for, until our market is supplied, after which the will be worth the New York price, cost of shipping it there. At present no overland rate to New York, as nooses there; but the rate to the Misner is one-half cent a pound, and pre-take the rate to New York would be the price if raw sugar should go there, conspicuously probably permit no higher than considering the value of raw sugar in shipment, therefore, the present would be 3½ cents, based on the current New York price of 3¾ cents. Chronicle says: In a yield of one pound of sugar to pounds of beets, which is a little less reported Watsonville yield, a ton would yield 286 pounds of raw worth, at 3¼ cents, $9 29. If the price paid for beets was $4 29—but not far out of the way—the profit factory was $5 per ton, less the cost of manufacture. The factory were to get the one-half profit—as is actually the case at Alvarado—the raw sugar from beets would be worth $10 71, at 3¾ and the factory profit $6 42, less the making the raw sugar. If the cost structure be $2 50—and we do not think it is—there is a net profit to the $3 92 per ton of beets on all sugar the local market, so long as it is pro- TO BE A MODEL. She Wanted to Leave Housekeeping and Pose For Pictures. Not very long ago, while a prominent artist was busy at his easel, the brass knocker rapped three times, and rising he opened the door. "Who is it?" he said, not very pleased at the interruption. "Do you want a model?" was the response. He looked at her with the rapid glance of the man who knows the meaning of form and color and the value of every feature. Apparently there was nothing to recommend her. The face was not beautiful, the skin and features were coarse, there was no pomegranate on the lips, no rose petal on cheek nor shell tints in the ear. The hair was a dusty, yellow gray, the eyes dull and heavy, the mouth and jaw thick and hard. All of this detail he saw as she passed through the door uninvited. "What are your recommendations?" he asked her half sneeringly. "I have a good figure," she answered promptly. "Are you a professional model?" was the next query. "I have never posed at all," she replied. "I'm a housemaid. I read something in the paper about the lots of money the models made, and I thought I'd like it better than being out at service." The artist looked at the young Irish woman a moment, and glancing about the room, wondering what to say to her, his eyes fell upon his half-clad model seated upon the stand. "Miss B.," he said, "will you tell this young woman about the life? She wants to be a model."

MENS' FURNISHING A yield of one pound of sugar to pounds of beets, which is a little less reported Watsonville yield, a ton would yield 286 pounds of raw worth, at 31 cents, $9.29. If the price paid for beets was $4.29—not far out of the way—the profit factory was $5 per ton, less the cost of manufacture. The factory were to get the one-half profit—as is actually the case at Alvarado—the raw sugar from beets would be worth $10.71, at 3½ and the factory profit $6.42, less the making of raw sugar. If the cost of manufacture be $2.50—and we do not that it is—there is a net profit to the local market, so long as it is properly the trust compact, and of $2.50 on raw sugar sold to Eastern re-word 'cost' as applied to the manu-fol sugar means nothing whatever unknow how the cost is made up. Factories being always thorough-going institutions, we must assume that computed in the most conservative and that any costs which they might public would include reasonable insay 6 percent—on invested capital, reasonable allowance—say 10 per cent treatment—for wear and tear; and in manner, the $2.50 which we have as means the entire cost, and the profits and $3.92 respectively mean clean fit over everything. The exact of cost, the way in which they are, and the net profits of the business course, the private affairs of the companies interested, who may or may be them public, as they choose. However, the establishment of beet-tories involves practically a partnership between growers and manufacturers to a staple article for sale at the highest price, it seems to us the fair way, certainly to the interest of the that both parties to the transaction clear knowledge of the money to be order that a fair basis of the divid-profits may be reached. Farmers not hate and fight capitalists. They join with them on equal terms for benefit. Instead of bewailing their own monopolies and monopolists, he better for them to become monopolyself—which is what every soul really desires in his heart—and they can accomplish by applying to give business affairs the same acute patient investigation which are emy those of whom farmers complain." Spreckels is reported as saying in further investments in beet-sugar: "We still more capital to invest in our industry. Wherever I find the sufficiently interested in the subject, estimate and soil be suitable, I am willing to assist them in developing industry not alone by the establish-factories, but also in the way of assem financially in the cultivation of product. In other words, I am will-kick my faith in beet-sugar by all that may be required." Does not look very much as if Mr. S agreed with Mrs Oxnard, who says no money in making beet sugar with-youy.—(L. A. Times). D OF AUDIT REPORTS. R GAZETTE.—May I trouble you for your valuable space? It think it justice to those who published the audit's report to explain in regard difference between the one published stockholders meeting and the one that meeting.

It also showed the man active daily for increase of cir-because every stockholder of the C. co., who I asked had received a "Are you a professional model?" was the next query.

The artist looked at, the young Irish woman a moment, and glancing about the room, wondering what to say to her, his eyes fell upon his half clad model seated upon the stand. "Miss B.," he said, "will you tell this young woman about the life? She wants to be a model." Miss B., with an easy, natural movement, threw the end of her garnet velvet toga across her shoulders and gave the visitor such a lengthy description of the trials, hardships and troubles of a model's life in the studios that when she advised the artistically inclined housemaid "to go back to making beds and scrubbing and waxing floors" the latter concluded she had better "bear the ills she knew than fly to those she knew not of" and took her departure as abruptly as she had come.—Philadelphia Press. DRAWING UP WILLS. Lawyers Do Not Want Their Names Identified With the Documents. That it takes a smart man to draw a will is an adage the respect for which in the legal fraternity is evidenced by the fact that few lawyers want to furnish visible evidence of their part in drawing up wills. It is perfectly easy for a man to hire a lawyer to draft his testament, of course, no matter how complicated its provisions may be. It is quite another thing to get the lawyer to witness it. He will not even allow clerks in his office to do so except perhaps where the client is an old or regular one. He wants him to go elsewhere to get the necessary attestations. There are exceptions to this unwritten rule, it is true, but it is pretty generally observed. "Lawyers will not so admit it," said one of them, "but the true reason is they don't care to be identified with the instrument. It is about as difficult an undertaking as a lawyer can face to draw up a will where the bequests are surrounded with conditions that will close up all loopholes to a contest. Most testators know how they want to dispose of their estates, but it is exceedingly hard to express their wishes in a way that will leave no doubt when subsequently disappointed heirs call it into question. The books team with instances of the inability of smart men, some of them distinguished lawyers, to make a will that will stand under a stiff fight. Lawyers naturally don't want to be associated with a document that may be pronounced bad, and so they are unwilling to sign as witnesses or to let their employees do it. I suppose it to some extent argues a lack of confidence in their work. Anyhow the precaution is of little use, for invariably the lawyer who drew it is disclosed in any litigation over a will."—Chicago Tribune. One on the Prince.

Instantly the prince turned and bowed. "Is that him?" she inquired, with a disappointed air. "Of course it is," answered a neighbor. "Well, well," she replied. "That's a regular knockdown! Well, if our mayor don't beat him all to fits in dress!"—Liverpool Mercury. A Beaconsfield Anecdote. One day, when the late Lord Beaconsfield was walking in his grounds at Hughenden Manor, he was accosted by a well known parishioner noted for his ready wit. It being winter time and the weather unusually severe, the villager after paying his respects to his lordship commenced to make an appeal for a little help. "How often have I told you to be careful and prepare for a rainy day?" "Ah, that's right enough. So I did, my lord," said the ready witted villager, "but then who ever thought of seeing all this snow and hard frost?" This ready retort had the desired effect.—Household Words. Beethoven's Harah Voice. Beethoven had a voice so coarse and harsh that once, conducting a rehearsal, when he attempted to hum a passage for the 'cello to show how it should go, an involuntary roar of laughter came from the orchestra. He turned very red, but afterward himself laughed, and the incident passed on pleasantly. Bicycles. From $20 up. At the Wright-Bundy cycle company, Center st., Anaheim. j23 f 500 cords of wood. C.

Whenever we see a person afflicted with hoarseness, with a cough or cold, we invariably advise him to get Chamberlain's Cough Remedy; and when they do, they never regret it.
