PROFITS OF BEET CULTURE. The present season's beet crop, which gives every promise of developing into prodigious proportions, affords abundant data for a calculation of the profits attending the manufacture of sugar in this favored section of Southern California, basing one's figures upon the returns of the refinery at Chino. There are now being planted in the fields about Anaheim for that concern upwards of 4,000 acres of beets, which reckoning at an average output of twelve tons per acre, will yield 48,000 tons. Inasmuch as the favorable indications for a large and very profitable harvest render the estimate of twelve tons per acre a low one, we think it is not too much to say that, in round numbers the beet product of this section will not be a pound short of 50,000 tons, and even this may be exceeded 5,000 tons or more. At the former figure this tonnage will represent a monetary outlay of not less than $200,000; and these figures may be nearly if not quite duplicated on account of the beets now being seeded for the Alamitos factory. At Chino 6,500 acres will be planted to beets, and in different sections of Ventura patches aggregating 1,500 acres of new land will likewise be seeded to this sugar-producing plant. Altogether the Chino factory people entertain estimates of a tonnage of not less than 144,000 tons of beets to be delivered at their bins this summer, which at $4 per ton will necessitate in a half dozen places for next season—at Cerritos, Ventura, Salinas and other points. At none of these places has so large a return of sugar in beets prevailed as in this immediate vicinity. There is nothing in the vast scope of cultural possibility so certain of yielding handsome results as the sugar beet business here in this valley. There are millions of idle capital in this section and in the East awaiting the opportunity of safe investment. Why is it that this capital has not been up and doing, and investigating the opulent possibilities of this wealth-producing industry? We send abroad a hundred million dollars in gold annually, and more, for sugar produced in foreign countries. The sugar beet lands in this immediate vicinity can be made to produce a considerable part of this sum, annually sent away, never to return. Some of the countries, indeed, from which we purchase sugar, place wanton inhibition against the importation of American products. How long is this unfair exchange to continue? Let us girdle on our armor and ascertain whether this sugar cannot be produced at home. Anaheim has room for another sugar factory. Let our moneyed men take steps to invite foreign capital hitherward, and let us all take a hand in the development of this new industry.

Stearns Ranchos Company to nearly if not quite duplicated on account of the beets now being seeded for the Alamitos factory. At Chino 6,500 acres will be planted to beets, and in different sections of Ventura patches aggregating 1,500 acres of new land will likewise be seeded to this sugar-producing plant. Altogether the Chino factory people entertain estimates of a tonnage of not less than 144,000 tons of beets to be delivered at their bins this summer, which at $4 per ton will necessitate an outlay of $576,000. This tonnage of the raw product will be worked into an estimated output of not far below 40,000,000 pounds of sugar. Last year, with a short crop of 65,000 tons of beets, the factory turned out 17,000,000 pounds of sugar, which at a net profit of a cent and a half a pound, netted the factory owners the comfortable cleanup of $250,500 for the season. The year before, on an output of 20,000,000 pounds of sugar, the profit being two cents per pound, the net clean-up was $400,000. So that it will be seen that with a tonnage of more than double that of last year, the output of sugar will not be much less than the figures given. An output of 40,000,000 pounds of sugar, at a profit of a cent and a half, will yield $600,000, and if the price of sugar should have an upward tendency on account of the new tariff bill, the net profit of the campaign may be two cents or even as high as three cents per pound. At these figures the computation of the season's enormous profits may be determined at a glance. In this view of the situation, the efforts of the sugar manufacturers looking to the restoration of the two cents bounty take on rather an interesting aspect. That the price of sugar will rise with the new tariff bill is undeniable, but even at the present low price, there is enormous profit in the sugar industry in this favored part of Southern California. While sugar making may not thrive in Nebraska or other less favored sections, here in Southern California the business affords large returns with profits as low as a cent and a half a pound. Even at this exceedingly low rate, the net clean-up this season at Chino will not fall far short of half a million dollars. The Alamitos factory will duplicate the profits earned at Chino, upon a somewhat smaller scale. The area devoted to beets for this splendid new factory is in the neighborhood of 4000 acres, making 8000 acres planted to beets in this immediate section.

The area devoted to beets for this splendid new factory is in the neighborhood of 4000 acres, making 8000 acres planted to beets in this immediate section. A fortnight since we estimated the crop at ten tons per acre. The estimate now is twelve tons, so we are informed by the Chino factory experts. It is perhaps too early to definitely determine the exact output of the year, but the opinion prevails among those competent to judge that the average will not be less than twelve tons per acre. This will produce from the fields contiguous to Anaheim 96,000 tons of beets, a tonnage nearly 50 per cent greater than the total tonnage delivered at the bins of the Chino factory from all sources last year. Thus it will be observed with what rapid strides this infant industry is advancing to its place at the head of the wealth producing products of the county. More money will be brought in to the county from beets this year than the combined wealth of the walnut and orange crops; and the industry is comparatively in its infancy. Next year the area devoted to beets for the Alamitos factory will be probably 8000 acres, with perhaps half as much more devoted to Chino. While the factory building at Alamitos is spreading itself outward into magnificent proportions and reaching skyward with each succeeding fortnight, our co-operative factory project, inaugurated by the best brains of the community, but fallen into evil ways, is in course of disintegration; and it will ever remain an open question whether the corporation was the victim of incompetency or treachery. Why cannot the moneyed men of this city offer inducements sufficient to engage the attention of capitalists in the erection of a sugar refinery here? Sugar mills have been pro-co-operative beet-sugar company that criticism, from the misinformed, might not be unexpected. After due consideration, a measure has been adopted by a majority of the board, which appears to be a target for a parting shot from The Gazette in its editorial of the 25th inst. If the facts as stated were true, we would hold our peace, and endeavor to take the medicine. But as a member of the board, I protest that the article is erroneous and a misrepresentation of facts, which should not be passed unnoticed. The $5 (not $6) required for each deed delivered, is for a fund to meet a deficiency in the first assessment, and provide the means to pay the debts and necessary expenses, so that an order for the disincorporation of the company may be granted as soon as possible. This has been fully explained to the shareholders by the Secretary. As to the matter of reconveyance, being done in the board, it is a saving to the company of that $1 50 each, which the parties in town would have been glad to have charged! Therefore, "let the shareholders of the ill-fated corporation cogitate." Respectfully, F. N. Hill. ANAHEIM, Feb. 26, 1897. Christian Shank, aged 60 years, who has for many years lived in a miserable hotel in an isolated section of Ohio, and who was known as the Sugar Creek hermit, is dead. He had allowed his hair to grow until it hung almost to his waist, while his whiskers were almost as long. Unlike most hermits, Shank was tidy about his person and kept his hair braided like a school girl, permitting it to hang down his back. A few days ago as a party of hunters were going by his hotel, Shank was found sick with pneumonia. He was removed to the hospital where, to an attendant a few moments before his death, he told why he never cut his hair. When a young man his sweet-heart jilted him because he allowed a barber to cut his hair, and he then made a vow never to again cut his hair or trim his beard until she married him. The maiden married another and Shank died without having broken his vow. Notice.

Gets the Decision of the Harbor Board—Large Appropriations Immediately Available. WASHINGTON, March 2.—The board appointed by the President to examine and decide upon the location of a deep water harbor for commerce at San Pedro or Santa Monica, in Southern California, to-day made a report to the secretary of war. It definitely defines the harbor at San Pedro, at an estimated cost of $2,901,787. Richard P. Morgan, of the commission, did not sign the report, but by the wording of the law under which the board acts, the finding of the majority of the members is final. The report makes comparison of the two harbors for the purposes named. At each place it says good deep water anchorage in six to eight fathoms of water can be obtained. At either place the necessary accessories for the convenient transfer of business from shipping to land can be constructed. In determining which has been and will be the more useful five different considerations were reviewed: Convenience for construction, accessory works, approaches from sea and from land availability as a harbor of refuge, capacity for extension and enlargement as the demands of commerce may require. After a careful examination of all these considerations the board finds the greatest advantages are with San Pedro. While the physical advantages of San Pedro location lead to its selection, the report says, the advisability of the choice is materially strengthened by consideration of the extensive improvement of its interior harbor, already made, and conditionally provided for or templated as an object of future appropriations. If the choice fell to Port Los Angeles the present status was waiting upon is very popular in her neighborhood and had other young men besides Trauvetter enamed of her, and it may be that his death is the result of jealously on the part of some of the less favored suitors. LATER—Robert Moore, Trauvetter's companion, has been arrested and charged with the crime. Trauvetter and Moore were suitors of Miss Phoebe Schiek. Trauvetter had been with Miss Schiek, and was on his way home when shot. As Trauvetter traversed the country road, Moore joined him. Moore claims that some unknown person shot Trauvetter from ambush. Moore then hastened home and told the story to his father, who aroused the neighborhood and then sought the murdered man. When Thomas M. Quackenbush proved in San Francisco that he had not married a second time his life work was ended, and his vitality was exhausted. The final judgment in his favor in the litigation with Mrs. Abbott was filed on Saturday last Monday morning he died. In September last Quackenbush, 76 years old, and breaking down in health, learned that Nancy A. Abbott, in whose boarding house he had lived, was declaring herself to be his wife. He determined to prevent any of his property reaching her, and brought suit to have it adjudged that she was not his wife. She retorted with a suit for maintenance. The attorneys for Quackenbush hastened the suits to trial that judgment might be obtained before he should die. It was the strangest race ever run with death. In each of the two suits judgment was given in his favor. The last paper was filed on Saturday Monday morning about 1 o'clock death came. Quackenbush had won by a day. Quackenbush had the genius for finance. He arrived in San Francisco in '49 and left the vessel about 9 o'clock in the evening without a cent to pay for a bed. But he had a package containing 250 copies of the New York Herald of the date of his departure. He cried the papers on the streets, and before he sought a place to sleep he had sold every paper for $1 a copy. From this $250 he gradually increased his capital to $800,000.

The Chicagoan retorted in strong sarcastic language, which forced the committee of the club to demand an apology. The American replied that he was willing to apologize to the club, but not to the Count. The Frenchman, of course, sent a challenge. The seconds met and decided that the American owed an apology. He again refused, and decided to act without seconds, and sent this note to the Count's seconds: After a careful examination of all these considerations the board finds the greatest advantages with San Pedro. While the physical advantages of San Pedro location lead to its selection, the report says, the advisability of the choice is materially strengthened by consideration of the extensive improvement of its interior harbor, already made, and conditionally provided for or contemplated as an object of future appropriations. If the choice fell to Port Los Angeles the present status would then authorize improvements at San Pedro to the amount of $392,000, and the same statute unqualifiedly directs the secretary of war, at his discretion, to cause surveys and estimates to be made for future improvements at the same location. In concluding its report the board says: "It is the judgment of this board that the best public policy in the interest of economy and for the attainment of a deep water harbor for commerce and refuge, demands the concentration of expenditures at one point with corresponding cumulative excellence of results, rather than dispersion and weakening of results by divided expenditure at two locations. This conclusion is strengthened by the fact that the selection of San Pedro undoubtedly involves materially less ultimate expenditure than is certain to be incurred by the maintenance of two harbors. The preponderance of physical advantages leads to the selection of San Pedro as in line with the requirements of the best public policy." The improvement contemplated is a stone breakwater beginning about 2100 feet from the shore and extending in a straight line 300 feet, thence three degrees curve about 1800 feet, thence in a straight line 3700 feet to the end, making the total length to the breakwater 8,500 feet. THE COUNT TOOK WATER. How an American Purposed Fighting a Duel With a Titled Foreigner. New York, Feb. 28.—The Sun's London cable says: An amusing club scandal is reported from Nice, in which an unnamed American from Chicago is involved. He was playing baccarat at the Mediterranean Club, when a dispute arose. A French Count, who was one of the players, remarked: "Stupid Americans who do not understand the game should not be allowed to play." The Chicagoan retorted in strong sarcastic language, which forced the committee of the club to demand an apology. The American replied that he was willing to apologize to the club, but not to the Count. The Frenchman, of course, sent a challenge. The seconds met and decided that the American owed an apology. He again refused, and decided to act without seconds, and sent this note to the Count's seconds: After a careful examination of all these considerations the board finds the greatest advantages with San Pedro. While the physical advantages of San Pedro location lead to its selection, the report says, the advisability of the choice is materially strengthened by consideration of the extensive improvement of its interior harbor, already made, and conditionally provided for or contemplated as an object of future appropriations. If the choice fell to Port Los Angeles the present status would then authorize improvements at San Pedro to the amount of $392,000, and the same statute unqualifiedly directs the secretary of war, at his discretion, to cause surveys and estimates to be made for future improvements at the same location. In concluding its report the board says: "It is the judgment of this board that the best public policy in the interest of economy and for the attainment of a deep water harbor for commerce and refuge, demands the concentration of expenditures at one point with corresponding cumulative excellence of results, rather than dispersion and weakening of results by divided expenditure at two locations. This conclusion is strengthened by the fact that the selection of San Pedro undoubtedly involves materially less ultimate expenditure than is certain to be incurred by the maintenance of two harbors. The preponderance of physical advantages leads to the selection of San Pedro as in line with the requirements of the best public policy." The improvement contemplated is a stone breakwater beginning about 2100 feet from the shore and extending in a straight line 300 feet, thence three degrees curve about 1800 feet, thence in a straight line 3700 feet to the end, making the total length to the breakwater 8,500 feet. THE DEACON'S DONATION. And Why It Was Not Accepted by the Town Committee. It had been decided at a public meeting of the citizens they that would have a combination library, reading room and social club in Waipapu. The committee, made up of substantial members of the community authorized to act upon their own judgment, was in session at Deacon Close's, he having a site that he wanted to sell for the proposed building. "I regard this movement as deserving of popular approval and aid," said the minister. "It aims to secure a wider intelligence and a better tone of morality among our people. Every one should give according to his means." After the editor, the doctor and the banker had talked in the same vein, the lawyer proposed that they get down to business. "Deacon Close," he continued. "has a desirable lot for which he asks $2,000. It strikes me as a pretty stiff price, but I have no doubt that he will make us a donation of $500 and make a deed of the site for $1,500." There was applause, in which the deacon did not participate, but rising reluctantly he delivered himself as follows: "I must say that I agree with what has been said in praise of this enterprise. Our town needs it and there is no place for it more desirable than the lot I have offered. Of course I want to bear my full share of the expense." "Since I offered you this lot," she deacon went on, "there has been a great improvement in times. Money is easier; prices are better and realty gets an enhanced value because of the general prosperity. I will let you have the lot for $2,500 and throw off $500 as a donation." The minister muttered something he was glad rest did not hear. The doctor laughed, the banker scowled and the lawyer moved to adjourn in a voice that told deacon he would have to seek some other market for the lot that had taken such a long and sudden jump in value.—Detroit Free Press.

Evansville (Ind.), March 2.—Nicholas Trauvetter, a young farmer 19 years old, was found dead, lying in the road a few miles from this city last night, with three bullet holes through his head and one through the body. He had been dead some little time when found. He left home in a buggy with another young man to call upon a young lady. He failed to return at his usual hour and his folks became uneasy and organized a search. When the remains were found the young man who had been with him was sought, but had not been found at last accounts. Messengers were at once dispatched to Boonville for the Sheriff and Coroner and an effort will be made to track the murderers down, for there is every evidence that it is a case of murder. It is not known that young Trauvetter had any enemies, but the young lady he Important to Farmers and Fruit Growers Wakelee's squirrel and gopher exterminator, the original, oldest and best prepared poison.
