The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY ... JANUARY 20, 1893 THE time is opportune for California to present her claims as the most highly favored State of the Union in which to grow sugar beets and to manufacture sugar therefrom. There is probably no product of the soil, relating to agriculture, in which the people of this country are taking greater interest, at the present moment, than the sugar beet. Assuming the world's consumption of sugar to equal its production, statistics for the years 1884 and 1894 show it to be as follows: Kinds Long tons of 2240 pounds 1884 1884 Cane sugar... 2,180,000 3,080,000 Beet sugar... 2,690,000 4,790,000 Total... 4,870,000 7,870,000 IMPORTS INTO THE UNITED STATES. Pounds Tons of 2000 lbs. All kinds... 4,345,193,881 2,172,596 SUGAR PRODUCED IN THE UNITED STATES. Year 1893 Pounds Short tons. Cane... 713,426,548 356,713 Beet... 52,467,031 26,233 Maple... 6,886,798 2,443 Sorghum... 768,054 384 It will be seen that in this decade beet sugar has gained. 78 per cent, while cane sugar has gained but 41 per cent, and that during this period the sugar output of the world increased over 60 per cent. Production and consumption are increasing nearly 7 per cent per annum. It is noticeable also by consulting statistics that cane sugar production has remained nearly stationary since 1880, while beet sugar production has increased enormously. The inhabitants of the globe consume about ten pounds per capita of sugar. The beet sugar of the world is principally produced in Germany, Austria, France, Russia, Belgium and Holland, ranking in quantity produced in the order named. A few countries of the globe produce all the sugar in use. A very large proportion of its inhabitants in certain countries are compelled to pay for their sugar in money or by exchange of other commodities for it, the consumption thus becoming a source of commercial weakness. This FORTUNES IN MEXICO. Advantages Offered Colonists by the Sister Republic. Exemption From Taxation for a Term of Fifteen Years, and Their Belongings Admitted Duty Free—A Meeting of Farmers of This Section to Discuss the Advisability of Forming a Colony Enterprise—Representatives to be Sent on Ahead to Look Into the Status of Affairs — Subscription Lists Opened, and a Number of Signers. Pursuant to a call published last week in this paper, a number of gentlemen assembled in Backs' hall on Tuesday afternoon for the purpose of discussing the advisability of forming a colony enterprise with a view of embracing the advantages offered American settlers by the Republic of Mexico. There were present W. J. Hole of La Habra, J. F. Isbell of Los Nietos, J. R. Courtright of Westminster, J. C. Hickey of Los Angeles, J. F. Megeart and Charles Knott of Santa Ana, J. Coates and J. N. Long of Garden Grove, W. M. McFadden of Placentia, Fred Mickle, C. Spencer, George Hunter, Delos and Herb Morton, J. B. Pierce, A. Pfahler, J. L. Amlin, L. S. Evans, John Cassou and others of this city. Mr. Spencer opened the proceedings by reading the following letters, one of them received by Mr. Hickey from a friend in Guadalajara, the other by himself from the Secretary of the American legation at the City of Mexico: GUADALAJARA, Dec. 13, 1897. Mr. James Hickey—Dear Friend: My daughter tells me you wrote me four or five weeks ago. I have been waiting for it to arrive so I could answer, but as I am convinced it has been miscarried, will write you and try to answer the questions that I know would be asked. My daughter has suggested some points which I will explain. First, in regard to rain, it is liable to rain any time in the year, but the rainy season is from the first of May to the 15th of October. The heavy rains are in June, July and August. For bananas we have to irrigate about eight months, but for one crop of corn we never have to irrigate, and there never is a failure on account of drought. The winter season here looks like our summers, and the summers like our country during the spring rains. Now of some 50 or 75 families for not having given you your spouse are first, the app your letter and second summed in making inquiry such a property as you deem. After diligent and inquiry coupled with my knowledge of the geography of (there being a very small area during the past few days) public of Mexico which out to investors in farm lands that are productive best results, is the Isthmus tepec, where land is below "promoters" at $5, Mexican acres ($2.80 United States and sold again to settlers $100 United States gold can put you in the wad tract of 17,500 acres of the land at $4.30 Mexican silver (or $2 United States gold is situated on the Isthmus of Tehuán of Vera Cruz). The Uspens navigable all the year reaches with the port of Chile Gulf of Mexico; so distant. The surrounding settled by many colonies cultivation of corn, potato coffee, sugar, bananas, or cocoa, tobacco and rubber than any known color in the Republic of Mexico promoters have done along down there is to sell 100 acres of land at $1 gold coin; costing them $ according to agreement acres bought in coffee; or nanas; and turns the purchaser at the end which produces him a net per acre per annum. I better investment in any could do the same with which I refer—the 17,500 belong to Mr. Tom Colelumbus Texas; buying at $10 per acre to coote them do their own planting; by which profit at $1 You could even afford to land on ten years' time rate of interest on thesements; and thus make more encouraging to If I had the necessary with to buy Mr. King's land; I would avail myself tunity without a moment The Mexican government the sum of $17,000,000 in tion of the Isthmus of Railway, which connects (on the Pacific) with Canada Gulf of Mexico), and only section in th The inhabitants of the globe consume about ten pounds per capita of sugar. The beet sugar of the world is principally produced in Germany, Austria, France, Russia, Belgium and Holland, ranking in quantity produced in the order named. A few countries of the globe produce all the sugar in use. A very large proportion of its inhabitants in certain countries are compelled to pay for their sugar in money or by exchange of other commodities for it, the consumption thus becoming a source of commercial weakness. This is conspicuously true in our own country, where we produce only about one-sixth of what we consume; and in many others, in some of which none is produced, and in others where consumption greatly exceeds production; so that sugar has become an important article of the world's commerce. The average consumption of the inhabitants of the earth, already stated to be ten pounds per capita, conveys but little idea of the consumption in particular countries; for example, in the United States we consume 66 pounds per capita. In England, where sugar is largely used in food compounds for export, the consumption is about 78 pounds per capita. In Germany and France especially, beet sugar production has had, from its inception, the most liberal encouragement and protection from the taxing power of those governments; and the statesmanship of these enlightened countries, recognizing the great importance of the industry, has bestowed its highest wisdom upon the problem of its promotion. The result has been not only to lift from the people the burden hitherto put upon them as importers for home consumption, but has made the article contribute to the national wealth by exportations of large surplus. The problem of emancipation by the American people from an increasing annual tax upon our wealth, now over $100,000,000, is to be solved. This done, we are next to enter the world's great field of commerce, and by fair competition to make conquest of our share of the world's demand for sugar. Looking over the field of possible beet sugar production in this country, there are conditions of climate, adaptability and productivity of the soil, richness of the beet in saccharine, pearness to lines of transportation, cost of labor and other considerations which must become important factors. The prize is a rich one, and must be won. We consume in the United States nearly two and one-half millions short tons of sugar annually. The usual figure stated is $100,000,000 as the value of sugar imports. But the consumer pays much more than the export value. We are paying for imported sugar a sum greater than we receive for all of our exports of wheat and flour. It requires half the money received for our exports of cotton to pay for our imports of sugar. The first concern of a wise statesmanship is commercial independence.

It requires half the money received for our exports of cotton to pay for our imports of sugar. The first concern of a wise statesmanship is commercial independence. No country can be said to be entirely free so long as it is dependent upon any other country for its food products, and especially is this true of a country like ours, blessed with natural resources such as, when developed, will make it commercially independent of all other nations. In the future development of the beet sugar industry, California is destined, in the opinion of men competent to judge, to become the beet sugar plantation of America, as it has already become the orchard of America, and for many of the same reasons. Whatever may be said of the opportunities for the profitable growing of the sugar beet in other States of the Union, preeminence must be accorded and must surely come to that State where the conditions necessary to success, both in the growing of the beet and its manufacture into sugar, are most favorable. It will be a question of the survival of the fittest. Beet sugar will be manufactured in many States of the Union; and, as we in California hope and believe, profitably to the farmer and to the manufacturer; but by a natural law of economies the great bulk of the beet sugar to be grown in the United States will follow the line of least resistance (according to the law of mechanics), and will settle down in that region where most of the favorable conditions exist. It is demonstrable that that region is to be found in California, and especially in this section of Orange county. NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—A special cable to the Sun from Havana says: A dynamite boom was exploded to-day near Dejame, Havana, at the moment when a Spanish military train was passing with soldiers. The explosion shattered the care disabled the locomotive, destroyed the rails and killed and wounded many Spanish soldiers. The press censor has refused to allow any reference by direct cable to the number of killed and wounded. UNITED STATES LEGATION, CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 27, 1897. C. SPENCER, ESQ., Anaheim, Orange County, Cal.—My Dear Sir: Your un dated letter, which you wrote to me some time ago at the suggestion of our mutual friend, Bob Hart, was received in due course of the mail; but I have mislaid it, and have been unable to find it anywhere. I recollect, however, among other things, that it bore no date, and that you wanted me to indicate to you a locality where you could purchase a tract of about 16,000 acres of good farming land, well watered, within easy reaching distance of a railroad, in an equable or temperate zone, and at a low price, for the colonization in different parts of the country. One Hacienda near here, reaching from Lake Chapalla to the Mexican Central Railroad, can be sold for $4 an acre, Mexican money. This Hacienda is in the heart of the best of this country. About 70 per cent of this is tillable land, at least is so represented. Lake Chapalla is a lake about 80 miles long and 20 miles wide. It is a great place of resort, and the lands near there will soon be very valuable, in fact small tracts are sold very high now, and I have many other tracts that I will show to any one who comes here with the power to act for a colony. I asked J. B. Nichols & Co. to answer Mr. Spencer's letter, and write to you, but I am now going to give my personal attention to the lands, and will be with your man when he comes. This Hacienda near the lake has 50-000 acres in it, and will I think, be a good buy. If the friends can realize that to get the very cheap lands they must go to places away from railroads, and into hot countries, they may conclude that it is better to pay more for the land, and be nearer market and in more pleasant climates. If they do then let them come here; I mean the representatives, and I will show them any part of the country they want to look at. That is the way to do. Let some one come here with the power to act for a colony. As to the exemption from duty and taxes must be handled very carefully; if you don't do what you promise then you are in trouble, but we can arrange that when your man gets here. I wrote a short letter and asked Nichols & Co. to write to Mr. Spencer. When we get the data on the Hacienda at Santiago will write him again, and in a day or two will send you the data on the lake property. The climate here and at the lake is even ahead of Los Angeles; it is perfect, and grows everything but the tropical fruits. The stock business here is good, in fact nothing is overdone. Let me hear from you soon, and believe me your friend, W. E. MARTIN. The letter received by Mr. Spencer is as follows: UNITED STATES LEGATION, CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 27, 1897. C.

My reasons for not having given you an earlier response are, first, the apparent loss of your letter, and second, the time consumed in making inquiries regarding such a property as you desire. After diligent and intelligent inquiry, coupled with my thorough knowledge of the geography of this country (there being a very small space that I have not trodden at some time or another during the past fifteen years), I can advise you that that part of the Republic of Mexico which to-day holds out to investors in farming lands and lands that are productive of the very best results, is the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, where land is being bought by "promoters" at $5, Mexican silver, per acre ($2.80, United States currency), and sold again to settlers at from $25 to $100, United States gold, per acre. I can put you in the way of buying a tract of 17,500 acres of the same kind of land at $4.30, Mexican silver, per acre (or $2, United States gold.) This property is situated on the river Uspanapa, on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, State of Vera Cruz. The Uspanapa river is navigable all the year round, and connects with the port of Coatzocoalcos in the Gulf of Mexico, some sixty miles distant. The surrounding country is settled by many colonists, who, in the cultivation of corn, potatoes, tomatoes, coffee, sugar, bananas, oranges, lemons, cocoa, tobacco and rubber thrive better than any known colonists or settlers in the Republic of Mexico. The way promoters have done and are still doing down there is to sell to a man, say, 100 acres of land at $100 per acre. In gold coin, costing them $10,000. Thereupon the promoter commences to plant (according to agreement) fifty of the 100 acres bought in coffee, oranges and bananas, and turns the property over to the purchaser at the end of five years, which produces him a net profit of $100 per acre per annum. I can think of no better investment in any country. You could do the same with the property to which I refer—the 17,500 acres—which belong to Mr. Tom Cobb King, of Columbus, Texas, buying at $2 and selling at $10 per acre to colonists, letting them do their own cultivating and planting, by which process you could make a net profit of at least $100,000. You could even afford to sell them the land on ten years' time, at a reasonable rate of interest on the deferred payments, and thus make the inducement more encouraging to your colonists. If I had the necessary $35,000 wherewith to buy Mr. King's 17,500 acres of land, I would avail myself of the opportunity without a moment's hesitation. The Mexican government has invested the sum of $17,000,000 in the construction of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec Railway, which connects Salina, Cruz (on the Pacific) with Coatzocoalcos (on the Gulf of Mexico), and the isthmus is the only section in the Republic of gayest of all the guests. Dancing was kept up until after midnight and about 2 a.m. the young couple left in a buggy to return home. Miss Curovo and her escort did not appear at Warrington Saturday, but no alarm was felt by the family, as it was supposed that she had remained over with a relative who resides near Millview. Monday morning a searching party was organized and near a bridge a few miles from Millview the horse, attached to the vehicle, was found tied to a tree. A few yards further away in a clump of trees, the bodies of the two young people were found, both dead. The young lady had been killed by a pistol ball which entered her head, and the young man had been killed by a pistol ball which had shattered his skull. After viewing the bodies and surroundings the coroner's jury was convinced that the young man had forcibly outraged the young lady and then killed her and subsequently committed suicide. It is said they were engaged to be married and so far as is known, there was no opposition to the marriage. Both were well connected. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS For The Week Ending January 17, 1898.

Chloe Freeman and husband Walter now when they would be induced to consign it to Eastern markets to have it given away regardless of values and to the detriment of jobbers here who were carrying stock they had given up their good money for. This created the wrong kind of competition that they have had to meet，as this class of shipments are sold to any one regardless of quantity,and at prices that were less than market value.But this cannot be continued now,and the jobbers need not have any fear from that source.for the simple reason.as stated above,the Western market is well cleaned up,and besides,ever since December 1the Pacific Coast has had a large pilgrimage of buyers from Eastern cities looking for snaps,但 one and all found that prices are and have been ruling here at lower figures than on the Pacific Coast.This state of affairs still continues,and it will be taken advantage of." NEW YORK Jan. 18 —The Journal of Commerce says: "There has been of late a decided improvement in the demand for California loose Muscatel raisins.In view of the prospect of a large supply at low prices,eastern jobbers have heretofore held off in expectation that they would be able to cover wants for the spring trade at low prices.Seeded raisins which have largely taken the place of ordinary loose goods in the consuming trade,have been obtainable in liberal quantities at comparatively low prices，owing to sharp competition between seeders，但best brands have held their own." GOLD FROM KLONDIKE. Steamer Corona Arrives at Seattle With a Party Weighted Down With Wealth.

You could even afford to sell them the land on ten years’ time, at a reasonable rate of interest on the deferred payments, and thus make the inducement more encouraging to your colonists. If I had the necessary $35,000 wherewith to buy Mr. King’s 17,500 acres of land, I would avail myself of the opportunity without a moment’s hesitation. The Mexican government has invested the sum of $17,000,000 in the construction of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec Railway, which connects Salina Cruz (on the Pacific) with Coatzacoalcos (on the Gulf of Mexico), and the Isthmus is the only section in the Republic of Mexico where there are no public lands, or lands that can be denounced; and there is no section in the Republic of Mexico where farming lands are in such demand as they are on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. I have no doubt that you are experienced enough to know that wherever one finds cheap lands, you will find poor and undesirable lands, and lands that, to say the least, are devoid of water, and other innumerable disadvantages. The lands on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec are not cheap because they possess all the advantages of future success and enhancement of value.. Those lands need no irrigation, on account of the abundant rains, and the climate is surprisingly healthful. Mr. King is a personal friend of mine, cashier of a bank in Columbus, Texas, although absent in New York at the present time. If you wish to communicate with him direct, with the view of obtaining fuller information regarding the before-mentioned property, I will glad to forward your letter to him, which you can send to my care here, as I am in correspondence with him. I can assure you that whatever Mr. King may tell you regarding his lands, you can rely upon implicitly. With the compliments of the season, I remain, yours very truly, WM. HEIMKE. Other letters bearing upon the subject were read by Mr. Spencer, and Mr. McFadden read from a paper a recent article upon Mexico and the advantages of residence in that country. After the reading of the letters and the submission of other data to the meeting, a general discussion was entered into and participated in by many of those present. Mr. Hole favored the Tehuantepec proposition, as being the easiest to reach the American markets, by water to Galveston and New Orleans. Mr. Spencer spoke of the advantages of colonizing families in Mexico. Mr. Mickle stated that the holdings of colonists are admitted into Mexico duty free, and they are exempted from taxation by the Mexican government during a term of fifteen years. The proposition of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, in the State of Vera Cruz, seemed to be the one most approved, and the meeting decided to send two representatives thither to investigate and report upon it. The tract offered embraces 17,500 acres, at $2 per acre in gold. It was announced that Messrs. McFadden and Hole had decided to make a trip to Mexico shortly, and they will probably be selected at next Tuesday’s meeting to act as the representatives of the colony. Subscription lists were opened and the following gentleman signed to purchase the number of acres following their names: Fred Mickle, 500; J. F. Megeart, 500; J. R. Courtright, 100; J. L.

"The tears were streaming from her eyes like spray from the Yerkes fountain," said a clerk in the inquiry division of the postoffice, laughing at the memory of the stout, florid woman who rushed in one hot afternoon with the plaintive wall: "Stop my letter. Give me my letter to the old country!" "That letter," the man went on, "was dropped somewhere within the city limits and was mixed in with some 2,000,000 other letters, yet she wanted us to get it for her quick—seemed to think that I would bounce out of my chair like a rubber ball out of a tennis racket, snatch up that particular epistle and come running back breathless and hand it to her. Now, the facts are that the government does not permit the stopping of a letter that has left the writer's hands unless it is important that it should be done. It makes an enormous amount of extra work. Here is a blank that must be filled out, stating the box in which the letter was dropped, the time, the address and the reason why the request for the recovery is made. That reason sometimes discloses some very interesting and romantic facts; but, of course, most of the letters are stopped for the business houses about town. When we asked the red faced Niobe what her reason was, she boohed, 'Me an my man had some troubles, an I wrote to my fader for moneys to go home, but my man an me have made up, an I would not have that letter go for a 'tousand dollar.' We got that letter for her. "There was another, a young woman who rushed in here during the opera season, and when she had caught a little breath she said she wanted a letter she had addressed to Peoria, Ills. There were some $5 opera tickets in it that she wanted to use that night. She had had a letter written to her family, and thinking there might be a postscript to add, had not sealed it. She bought her seats to 'Tannhauser' and left the window with her purse, her letter and her tickets in her hand. The open envelope was so inviting a place for the tickets that she thought she would carry them there, but just as sood as she saw a letter box it was like a red rag to a bull. She sealed the envelope and posted it, tickets and all, and it was hours before she remembered what she had done and then came down to us for help. We got her tickets too.

"Young women who have 'reconsidered' a proposal or who regret a hasty note, like the men, blushingly confide their troubles to us, and we have prevented more than one broken heart. "Sometimes the letters have left our hands and we have to telegraph to catch them, which is done at the person's expense. We have more than once cabled to Berlin and St. Petersburg to head off a billet doux or some request from an impatient and petulant son for a check. A sion of a noble German house came in here to implore us to prevent the delivery of a demand for money, written. I fancy, in a tone that, in the light of recent remittances, would endanger his inheritance. There is some mighty interesting reading among the blanks requesting letters stopped, all of which are sent on to Washington." — Chicago Inter Ocean. The Changing Leaves. It is one of the marvels of trees that every species bears its own mark in every part, root and branch, bark and leaf, as well as fruit. A wise elder told us the other day the species of oak from which an acorn came by the fine tracery on the acorn's cup. Such a riot of colors and tints there is in the falling leaves that one might think the colors are accidental, but the keynote of color is constant in any species, with only exceptional variations. The mistress of a manse in the Virginia valley once went into the woods and selected her young trees by their colors, and those colors they still wave in each returning fall. The birches are a golden yellow, while the oaks vary through yellow orange to a reddish brown. The red maple sheds at the last a dark red leaf and the tulip tree a light yellow. The hawthorn and the poison oak are violet, while the sumac and the wild vines take on a flaming scarlet. Soil will make some variations, and a dry season will almost take the color and beauty altogether away. — Richmond Central Presbyterian.

Feeding, as it does, all the organs of the body, it must be rich and pure in order to give proper nourishment. Hood's Sarsaparilla makes the blood pure, rich and nourishing, and in this way strengthens the nerves, creates an appetite, tones the stomach and builds up the health.
