LOCAL NUGGETS OF NEWS. Beet Growers Associating for Better Prices. The Second Meeting Attended by Large Numbers of Farmers, and Words of Co-operation Come in From all Sides—No Money in Raising Beets at Present Prices—Committee Appointed to Go to Chino to Confer With the Factory Owners Relative to a Raise—T.

On Saturday evening the beet growers of Buena Park and vicinity held their second meeting for the purpose of effecting an organization to secure, if possible, an advance in the price paid for beets. Upwards of 100 farmers were present from all sections of the county. Delegates were present from Alamitos, where about 65 farmers have expressed their desire to join the association. After the opening of the meeting by Gus Hansen, the president of the association, Mr. Archibald took the chair for the evening, and the minutes being read and approved business was begun. The report of the committee on by-laws and constitution (Mr. Weber, chairman, and Messrs. Potter, Hoover, Diffenderfer and Speidel) was received and read as follows: Met at Mr. Potter's residence on Aug. 26; all members of the committee were present. After a lengthy discussion it was finally decided to send for the by-laws of Alamitos beet growers, after which they adjourned till Aug. 28th, to report as stated. Mr. Gillison, Secretary of Alamitos beet growers association, was present with the by-laws of that association. On motion the same were read by the secretary. After discussion the constitution was adopted section by section, after being amended as deemed to be necessary. The matter of a name for the association was next considered and on motion of Mr. Weber it was decided to call it the Beet Growers' Association of Orange County. After adopting the constitution it became necessary to elect a sergeant-at-arms, for which office J. Sloan was chosen. The matter of by-laws was again referred to by several speakers, and finally Mr. Potter moved to adopt the by-laws as read by the secretary, which motion was carried unanimously. On a motion of J. Sloan it was de- LETTER FROM NED WHITE. Our Young Fellow-Townsman Making Good Progress Toward Klondike. The following extracts from a letter received by Rev. White from his son Ned, who is on his way to Klondike, has been kindly furnished us by that gentleman and will no doubt be persued with interest by our readers: On board ship "Alki," and posted at Juneau, Aug. 10, 1897. This is a most delightful, as well as exciting sail, and so far I have really enjoyed the trip. My fellow passengers are as bright and good natured a lot of fellows as one would wish to meet. There are many ladies also, who are intending to go clear up into the Klondike. We have just passed some immense icebergs, and are now going through the rapids, which are very long and very narrow. The whales are numerous. SKAGWAY, Alaska, Aug. 15.—We arrived here on Tuesday, August 10. We have got our things together and have gone three miles up this trail. We have been waiting for our horses, and as the boat with them on came in this morning, we expect to move right along now, and get in all right. It does not freeze up here until the middle of October. There are several teams and wagons here that make about $100 a day. I wish I had mine, then I think I would stay here for the winter, but I have not; so will just keep moving on until we strike something. Have just got my horse and was offered $150 for him. I am writing on top of a box and sitting on another, so you can imagine the luxury of my surroundings. This is a great place. Six weeks ago there was not more than two or three people here and now there are two or three thousand. You have seen pictures of trains of horses with packs on their backs and men carrying packs? Well, that is just what you see here every day. Not only see, but take part in. I go along with fifty pounds on my back and lead my horse which has 200 to 250 pounds on his back. We carry them about two miles, and then go back after another load, and so on, until we get all of our outfit that far and then we start in again and take it two miles further. It depends upon the condition of the road whether we can go as far as two miles at a time, and how much we can put on the horses, for where the road is not hard they will sink. In some places the trail is very bad. There is one place where the horses cannot carry anything, and we have to pack it all on our own backs.

After discussion the constitution was adopted section by section, after being amended as deemed to be necessary. The matter of a name for the association was next considered and on motion of Mr. Weber it was decided to call it the Beet Growers' Association of Orange County. After adopting the constitution it became necessary to elect a sergeant-at-arms, for which office J. Sloan was chosen. The matter of by-laws was again referred to by several speakers, and finally Mr. Potter moved to adopt the by-laws as read by the secretary, which motion was carried unanimously. On a motion of J. Sloan it was decided to select a committee to visit the growers of this vicinity, to consist of two members, to solicit their membership. Messrs. Weber and Diffenderfer were chosen. Another committee of two, Gus Hansen and W. G. Potter, was selected to visit Chino and confer with the manager of the sugar mill in regard to contracts and prices for the next season. Considering the short time since the association has been in existence, commendable progress has been made. A goodly number of growers have signed the membership roll, either in person or by proxy, one grower alone being authorized to sign nine names, representing about 300 acres, and also paying the necessary entry fees. Altogether the growers seem to be very much interested and anxious to join the association. It was decided to hold another meeting at the same place (Foresters' Hall, Buena Park.) next Saturday evening, Sept. 4th, at 8 o'clock, to give the growers of Benedict and Anaheim, who desire to join, and who have expressed themselves to that effect, a chance to become members. I presume within two or three weeks we shall have a membership of at least a couple of hundred, which I think is a very good beginning. The Chino and Ventura beet growers are also well organized. Everybody here is confident of the success of the movement and, so far as I can judge, with good cause. Any number of people, who were downcast, are brightening up, and many who thought they would never grow any more beets, are beginning to reconsider their determination with the prospect for better prices. With the present rates paid for beets it is impossible to stay in the business, even where the greatest economy is practiced, as thousands of dollars have been lost even this year with a very fair crop. There may be an occasional crop of 20 and 22 tons per acre, on a 50 or 100-acre tract, with sugar up to 27 per cent, but we have not that here. Our average is about 7 tons to the acre with an average of 16 and 17 per cent. Anyone can figure out how much there is left for the grower after an expense of $20 to $25 per acre is deducted therefrom. Hoping that the association will meet with the success it deserves, I remain, respectfully, REPORTER PLACENTIA POINTERS. C.

It depends upon the condition of the road whether we can go as far as two miles at a time, and how much we can put on the horses, for where the road is not hard they will sink. In some places the trail is very bad. There is one place where the horses cannot carry anything, and we have to pack it all on our own backs. We think we can move about a mile or a mile and a half a day. At that rate it will take us about a month to get over to the Lakes. Mr. Robinson's horse has not come yet, but I have mine and it is one of the best here. You may think it lots of fun up here, but any one who thinks that, let them come and try it. A great many are turning back every day, but if I have health and strength, I will stay with it. I will send a letter as often as I can during this month, but after that you will not hear from me till spring. FOUND DEAD IN BED.

Stuart Cargill and Frank Scott went down to the Landing on Saturday morning, taking along with them, as their guest, James C. Hays, grandfather of the former, and driving down in Mr. Cargill's surrey. They took with them victuals for luncheon, intending to return in time for dinner in the evening. At 7 o'clock they had not returned, so the servants at Brooks-hurst left the dinner table in readiness for them when they should return. When the household retired, a lamp was placed upon the dining-room table for their accommodation. At 5 o'clock Sunday morning Mr. Cargill awakened and going into the dining-room to see whether the party had returned found the lamp still burning and the comestibles untouched. Along toward half-past 8 o'clock the two horses returned, without their harness, having evidently broken away from the party and started for home alone. In the evening Mr. Hayes returned with Gus Hansen's son, coming up in his sulky with him, and Stuart later returned with Mr. Kennedy's boy. It was learned that the horses had broken away as the party were upon the point of hitching up for the return trip, leaving them no other alternative than to remain at the Landing over night, with rations exceedingly scarce in camp. The party dined on beans and crackers, and next morning had clams for breakfast. On Monday Stuart drove down to bring Frank back, and took along with him stores to replenish the larders of the campers visited by them during their enforced stay at the seaside. James Forbes and Frank Purdy were in town on Monday, the first time since Pinafore days. They were discovered in earnest conversation on Center street, but on their assurance that they were not talking about Klondike, were permitted to go on their way rejoicing. Frank Townsley, the driver of the Santa Ana laundry's delivery wagon, has been promoted, and will hereafter drive the city wagon in Santa Ana. George Fox takes his place, and made his first trip with Frank on Monday to learn the route in town. Frank is an active and energetic lad and has made many friends during his semi-weekly visits. Lou Ledger, the well-known engineer, has been pulling the regular Santa Fe freight train through here mornings of late, the squeal of his engine awaking the echoes of the early dawn. A few days ago he was met at the depot by his sister, Mrs. Lloyd Bailey, and Mrs. Ralph Hunter, and presented with a box of peaches from the Hunter grove. Stephen and Fred Rimpau, Archer and Theresa Fay, George Wagner Claude Means, Poldie Heiman and Welborn Wallop will attend the Fullerton high school, which begins on Monday next. The school starts with upwards of forty scholars, and will have a corps of four teachers. Ella Rea, Edith Bannerman and Alfons Fosseck will attend the Santa Ana high school which begins Sept. 20th. Chas. Freedland of San Francisco, a nephew of Mrs. Mottram of England, who has taken up her residence here with her niece, Miss Freedland, arrived on Monday for a visit of a week or so. Mr. Freedland is engaged with a wholesale furniture house in San Francisco, and rightfully considers that he can put his vacation to no better purpose than to pay his aunt and sister a visit here. Miss Nellie Browning, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Browning, has the thanks of the editorial household for a very fine watermelon—the biggest one in the patch, and one of the finest we have seen this year. Miss Nellie presents us with a watermelon once a year, and had the present one selected weeks ago and watched it grow to perfect maturity.
