WHATEVER may be the advantages of sugar beet culture to the grower in California, they must also ensure to the manufacturer; for it so happens that the factory not only pays more for a high grade beet, but it makes a greater proportionate profit out of it. It becomes, then, a matter of concern not only to the grower but to the builders of factories to engage in the business where the best results can be realized. We claim that experience and scientific experiments, as well as the natural climatic influences existing here, attest the superior merits of our State. Briefly summarized the advantages may be stated to be: Earlier maturity of the beet; earlier opening of the campaign; longer season for harvesting; longer run of factory; greater yield per acre; greater percent of saccharine; immunity from frost; immunity from rain at critical periods; ensilage or "pitting" the beets avoided. The source of these advantages is our climate, and this factor is constant and permanent. The mysterious alchemy of nature which has brought together here in California "the cultures elsewhere separated by wide climatic and geographical intervals," has placed us in possession of this new source of wealth, and has added the sugar beet to the long list of agricultural products which have made California famous. Among the evidences that we cannot be mistaken in placing California at the head of the list of the sugar beet States, is the fact that representatives of large and apparently unlimited capital are exploiting all the available lands in the State from end to end. It is another evidentiary fact that some of the best informed sugar makers in the country are seeking to enlarge their holdings by coming here to build factories. It is still another fact that those who have tested the beet here practically, both as growers of beets and makers of sugar, among them the Oxnards and Spreckels, standing at the head of the industry, are building new factories. These are certainly very strong and substantial sources of information on sugar beet cultivation in California. States, is the fact that representatives of large and apparently unlimited capital are exploiting all the available lands in the State from end to end. It is another evidentiary fact that some of the best informed sugar makers in the country are seeking to enlarge their holdings by coming here to build factories. It is still another fact that those who have tested the beet here practically, both as growers of beets and makers of sugar, among them the Oxnards and Spreckels, standing at the head of the industry, are building new factories. These are certainly very strong and substantial reasons for our faith in the industry. No such concentration of capital is indicated elsewhere, although great efforts are being made to attract it in many States. And it is a significant fact that at this time capital is seeking us and not we it; for hitherto we have put forth no efforts to convince the world of our superior claims as a sugar State. It has been objected that we are inviting the impoverishment of our soil by encouraging beet growing. But this fear is groundless. We only need to appropriate the available knowledge on the subject to enable us to grow beets without exhausting the soil. It is one of nature's laws that diversity of crops conserves fertility. The rich lands of the Continental countries have been yielding abundantly for centuries without perceptible diminution of fertility. We hear no complaint from the great beet-growing regions of Germany and France that the soil is being impoverished. In no other countries in the world is government bestowing such watchful care on the farmer. Everything that promises any betterment of the farmer's condition is exploited, practically and by the aid of science, in those countries. We know that France and Germany would not lead their farmers into any form of agriculture to the permanent or temporary impoverishment of the land, and hence it must follow that there is no necessary detriment to soil in beet growing which is not preventable. We have not only the experience of European growers to reassure us, but our own practical experience and the results of scientific investigation. Our own College of Agriculture has spoken through its professors, and intelligent beet-growers have proved the truth of science. Of course constant cropping of beets, without adequate fertilization, is injurious to land; but by the rotation of crops the land is preserved in nearly its original fertility, and so nearly that slight fertilization holds it to its normal productivity. At the Galt Farmers' Institute this year, Prof. Jaffa, of the University of California, exhibited a chart showing the chemical substances extracted from the soil by different crops. It was shown that a crop of 16 tons of beets grown on an acre of ground would draw from the soil 193 pounds of potash, 112 pounds of lime, 58 pounds of phosphoric acid and 84 pounds of nitrogen. Of these amounts the leaves contain 1674 pounds of potash, 104 pounds of lime, 40 pounds phosphoric acid and 664 pounds of nitrogen.

However I am dent of the fact that the intending chasers have put up a bonus of $5 gold as a token of their earnings. After their arrival here I will be better position to speak with certain as to whether Mr. King has realised his lands, and I will write to you if he has sold them then I will pay onto another tract equally as good that of Mr. King which I can mend with the same certainty as the same good faith that I recomended the King lands. Some five years ago I went all through Mr. Property (but before he became owner), and I knew what I was told about when I recommended those to you, and in corroboration of that they are choice lands I had to point to the negotiations that are foot now for their sale to the St. parties referred to. I believe that I can put you inmunication with a gentleman hereto I have seen Mr. King and I trained as to whether he has realised his lands), from whom you can purchase a tract from 18,000 to fifty,500 acres in the State of Chisapas, within easy distance of navagable rivers connect with the Gulf of Mexico one dollar and seventy-five cents ($1.75) per acre, on excellent terrain fact on better terms than you get out of Mr. King who wants cash for his lands.) If you bought a tract cf twenty acres from him I am sure that I could make following-named terms for you (you are the same as those he offered in a previous occasion for a friend of in Cincinnati): $5,ooo cash down;ooo six months after purchase,$ twelve months after purchase and ooo eighteen months after purge paying six per cent per annum deferred payments. And if you have a little patience until after King has arrived here with his Louis friends, I may be able to better terms of payment for these apas lands upon which I am also able to stake my reputation for they are敢ingly healthy and most desirable in every respect. In short you rely implicitly upon anything in way of agricultural lands that I recommend to you and I will guard that whatever I recommend to you stand the most critical examination It would please me very much in be the instrument of putting your your colony on foot on a piece of which will be a blessing to all cerned. With renewed compliments of season I remain,yours very truly.WM HEIMING(A letter read by Mr. Spencer at week's meeting,and which we were able to place in type in time for last issue will be found on the page It is an interesting document and will well repay perusal.)

Of these amounts the leaves contain 167 pounds of potash, 104 pounds of lime, 40 pounds phosphoric acid and 66 pounds of nitrogen. It was pointed out that by returning the tops to the soil, the greater part of the loss was restored. A comparison showed that alfalfa extracted from the soil much more of these substances than beets extracted, exclusive of tops, and so of potatoes, grapes and prunes. There is no known crop that would not, in time, exhaust the ground, if it was grown continuously without fertilization. The time will come when it will be necessary to fertilize wheat land. The sugar in the beet is pure carbon, and the beet derives its carbon from the atmosphere through its leaves. The carbons—that is the sugar—do not come from the ground, and hence if the leaves and the pulp from which the sugar has been extracted are returned to the ground, all the chemicals which have been drawn from the soil would be given back to it. We acknowledge the courtesy of a very pleasant serenade from the newly organized brass-band. Thursday night. The sweet strains of melody floating out upon the night air, roused the sleeper to thoughts of ecstatic bliss, and for a time the troubles of this world were forgotten. The band has our thanks for their kindness, and we can wish them nothing better than that their playing may never fall below the standard of that of Thursday evening. A lot of dissolute Mexicans, in the early hours of Sunday morning, over in the neighborhood of the Episcopal church, succeeded by their drunken carousel and boisterous language in disturbing the peace of many of the residents of that section.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. —Never fore has the majesty of the United States been represented by so large powerful a fleet of warships as that gathered off the extreme southern coast of Florida, within direct striking distance of the island of Cuba. When the ships are called into action or an examination of the squadron now gaged ostensibly in drill, but really watching the progress of events across the narrow channel which separates the Dry Tortugas from Havana, she that it was not collected for dress purposes. For a year the Navy Department has been preparing for this very emergent and the result is a fleet such as never been seen before, ready for service, in American waters. The Atlantic fleet, now under order of Admiral Sicard, with headquarters at Tortugas and a telegraph address Key West, is made up of the battleships Indiana, Iowa and Massachusetts, second-class battleships Maine and Texas. The Monitor Terror, the armed cruiser New York and Brooklyn, cruisers Detroit and Montgomery, the torpedo boats Cushing, Dupont, Mite cruiser Vesuvius, and the lifeboat boat Fern. There is not a back number in this fleet. With the exception of the Cutting torpedo boat, which was put in service in 1890, not a ship in the fleet has been in commission for five years. They are the flower of the new nation and the sixteen fighting machines manned by 337 officers, 3,834 men, sides the marines. The batteries on the heavy ships are simply tremendo. When in action the fleet will be thrusting shells from seventy-eight rifles, with an addition of fifty rapid-rifles. All this is for long range business, and is in addition to the secondary batteries of low-callibered guns. The torpedo fleet is now armed with fifteen eighteen-inch Whitehead torpedoes and the ships themselves are fitted with tubes for sending out twenty-three marine engines, besides the Vesuvius, mounting three dyna-mite guns.

The Mexican colonizers held their bond meeting, at Backs' Hall on Tuesday morning when some thirty gentlemen were present. The Spencer was called upon to aside, and W. M. McFadden acted as secretary. Extracts from private letters received from Mexico were read and the message subscribed was raised to 2,810 acres, with a promise that at the meeting to be held on Tuesday next, a subtraction of 5000 acres would be made. Mr. Hole was present from La Habra, Mr. Isbell came down with a delegation of friends from Rivera. Messrs. Greath and Knott were present from Santa Ana, and many of those who attended the preliminary meeting the day before were again present, and meeting was quite enthusiastic. It was agreed to hold meetings at Littler and Santa Ana in the near future, and another meeting will be held in this city on Tuesday next. At the conclusion of the meeting Mr. Snencer received the following letter from the secretary of the American nation at the City of Mexico: UNITED STATES LEGATION, CITY OF MEXICO, Jan 18, 1898. SPENCER, ESQ., Anaheim, Orange Cal.; My Dear Sir:—I am just in receipt of your letter of the 11th inst., neither with its corresponding enclosure, which I have forwarded to Mr. King, in accordance with your request, though I fear you are a little late in your letter, as Mr. King has virally sold his property to some St. Louis parties. I am not quite sure but it, but I base my assertion upon that Mr. King has written to me. He be in this city with the parties who intend to buy his property on or about first of February, when they will down to the isthmus to make an intention of Mr. King's lands, and then decide as to whether they will or will buy them. However, I am confident of the fact that the intending purchaser have put up a bonus of $5,000 in cash as a token of their earnestness, for their arrival here I will be in a better position to speak with certainty to whether Mr. King has really sold lands, and I will write to you again. He has sold them, then I will put you on another tract equally as good as that of Mr. King, which I can recommend with the same certainty and in same good faith that I recommend the King lands. Some five years ago I went all through Mr. King's property (but before he became its owner), and I knew what I was talking about when I recommended those lands upon, and in corroboration of the fact.

They searched unsuccessfully for several hours and then went to Lake Cushman and organized three searching parties, offering a large reward for finding him. Rogers came to Tacoma to get more searchers and was starting back when he learned by telephone of Workman's rescue. INSTALLATION. The joint installation of the newly elected officers of Anaheim Lodge, Fraternal Brotherhood, and of Loyalty Lodge of the same order (the latter lodge being composed exclusively of ladies) was held on Friday evening, and conducted by Supreme President Dandy. The members of the two Olive lodges attended in a body, and after the formal installation the lodges repaired to the large room on the first floor of the Odd Fellows' Hall and did full justice to a bounteous supper which was provided by the ladies of Loyalty Lodge. It was after midnight when the gathering dispersed, and it was even then with great reluctance that the members and their guests separated, as the constant flow of wit, humor, repartee, hot coffee and other things were conducive to a desire to prolong the festivities. The following is a list of the officers installed: J. H. Clabaugh, president; R.C.Mills, vice-president; F.C.Rimpau, secretary; J.S.Hatfield, treasurer; Dr.G.S.Eddy, physician; O.Rener, chaplain; Louis Kroger, sergeant; Geo.E.Boyd, master-at-arms; G.W.Wilcox, I.D.K.; M.J.Bauer, O.D.K. The officers of the ladies' lodge are: Mrs.J.D.Lane president; Dr.Ida L.Menges, vice-president; Mrs.Geo.E.Boyd, secretary; Dr.G.S.Eddy, physician; Mrs.J.Hatfield,mistress-at-arms; Mrs.R.L.Coons,O.D.K. CORBETT SIGNS And Fitzsimmons' Signature Will Be Obtained. CHICAGO Jan. 25.-James J.Corbett-to-night signed articles calling for a fight with Bob Fitzsimmons, which Geo.Conidine of Detroit is confident he can pull off next summer. The articles are identical with those governing the fight at Carson City with the exception of the purse which in this case is $25,000 as against $15,000 at Carson City. Considine forfeits $5,000 to go to the men in case he fails to pull off the fight. In return he demands a forfeit of $2,500 from each buy them. However, I am confident of the fact that the intending purchaser have put up a bonus of $5,000 in cash as a token of their earnestness. Their arrival here I will be in a safer position to speak with certainly whether Mr. King has really sold lands, and I will write to you again. He has another tract equally as good as of Mr. King, which I can recommend with the same certainty and in same good faith that I recommend the King lands. Some five years ago I went all through Mr. King's liberty (but before he became its owner), and I knew what I was talking about when I recommended those lands you, and in corroboration of the fact they are choice lands I have but point to the negotiations that are on now for their sale to the St. Louis les referred to. Believe that I can put you in complication with a gentleman here (if I have seen Mr. King and ascertained as to whether he has really sold lands), from whom you can purchase a set of 18,000 to 55,000 acres of every choicest agricultural lands, in state of Chiapas, within easy reach-distance of navigable rivers that meet with the Gulf of Mexico, for dollar and seventy-five cents gold) per acre, on excellent terms (in one better term than you could out of Mr. King, who wants spot for his lands). If you bought a set of 20,000 acres from the other I am sure that I could make the wing-named terms for you (which the same as those he offered me on obvious occasion for a friend of mine incinnati): $5,000 cash down; $10-$16 months after purchase; $10,000 five months after purchase and $10-$eighteen months after purchase; bag six per cent per annum on the dried payments. And if you will have a little patience until after Mr. King has arrived here with his St. friends, I may be able to make terms of payment for these Chillands, upon which I am also ready take my reputation, for they are extremely healthy and most desirable every respect. In short, you may implicitly upon anything in the form of agricultural lands that I may amend to you, and I will guarantee whatever I recommend to you will be the most critical examination. Could please me very much indeed the instrument of putting you and colony on foot on a piece of land will be a blessing to all considered renewals compliments of the man, I remain, yours very truly.

Coostly Pipes. Among the pipes shown at a jewelry establishment was one of meerschaum,m with an amber mouthpiece,the bowl being crowned with a gold mounting that covered the rim around the top and extended down the sides to the depth of perhaps a quarter of an inch below the edge.On top the mounting was flat and smooth；below the edge，on the sides，它 was etched.The price of this pipe was $110.The owner of a pipe with a gold rim around the top might smoke it，或 it might be that he would let it lie on his table. Jewelled pipes are not an article of common sale，但 they are not so uncommon as to be remarkable.Such pipes are usually mounted to order,and they are probably always bought for gifts They are variously mounted,sometimes with a band of diamonds and rubies around the bowl at the top,sometimes diamonds are set around the stem where the mouthpiece joins it.A jewelled pipe may cost $250. Silver mounted meerschaum pipes at $50 articles of regular sale There are pipes of this sort at prices ranging from $20 to $75。这些 are not carved pipes，但 usually perfectly plain They are of the finest materials and workmanship and of fine designs.

The flower of the new navy sixteen fighting machines are by 337 officers, 3,834 men, beehive marines. The batteries of navy ships are simply tremendous. In action the fleet will be throw-bells from seventy-eight rifled with an addition of fifty rapid-fire All this is for long range busi-ness in addition to the secondary les of low-calibered guns.

TACOMA, Jan. 24. —J. W. Workman, a wealthy young man of Racine, Wis., was found yesterday by mountainers in the heart of the Olympic mountains, where he had been lost for two days in a favorite retreat of bears, wildcats and other wild animals. The young hunter was delirious, and was found wandering aimlessly about in a deep ravine. He had been without food for two days, and while he slept at night his hands were frozen. When he came to realize that he had been rescued Workman at once collapsed, and it was with great difficulty that he was carried to the camp at Lake Cushman. Medicines have been sent to him, and as soon as he can move he will be brought to a hospital at Tacoma. It is believed he will recover, though he will be laid up for weeks, and it may become necessary to amputate his limbs. Workman, Henry Nelson and G. V. Rogers, all prominent young men of Racine, have been in the Olympics for several weeks on a hunting expedition. They were accompanied by two Tacoma friends. The party had been having great sport killing deer, bear and wildcats, and last Friday morning started gifts. They are variously mounted, sometimes with a band of diamonds and rubies around the bowl at the top, sometimes diamonds are set around the stem where the mouthpiece joins it. A jewel pipe may cost $250. Silver mounted meerschaum pipes at $50 are articles of regular sale. There are pipes of this sort at prices ranging from $20 to $75. These are not carved pipes, but usually perfectly plain. They are of the finest materials and workmanship and of fine designs. There are perfectly simple little brier pipes with a plain silver mounting and amber mouthpiece that sell at $15, but the brier is the very choicest and hand-somesthe amber mouthpiece of the finest quality and joined to the pipe by a lock stem, and all the workmanship on the pipe is of the best. They are the very finest of brier pipes. —New York Sun. An Absentminded Man. "Writers for comic papers and their unthinking readers," said Mr Werken-day."consider it funny to be an absent-minded man.I am absent-minded and in a position to contradict them.Morning I was hurrying across Wall street to keep an appointment.I lit a cigar without checking my pace,fors I was late,and the appointment meant much for me. "A few minutes afterward I happened to put my hand in my pocket and missed my new silver matchsafe.Of course I retraced my steps in a hurry,s scanning every inch of sidewalk and gutter anxiously So occupied,naturally I collided more or less severely with people who not having lost a silver matchsafe.might have kept out of my way.I think. "However,they did not,and by the time I reached William street my hat had been knocked off,the polish of my shoes had been ruined by strange feet,and one of my new gloves had disappeared." "At William street a very fat man ran into me,或 rather over me.The shock staggered me,and something fell out of my hand and clattered on the pavement It was my new silver matchsafe.I picked it up with unkind reflections about myself,and a little mental arithmetic showed me that I had made an absentminded fool of myself at a cost of 5 cents for a shine,$1 to get my hat blocked and $2.25 for a pair of gloves,ruined by the loss of one.And then,g gentlemen.I walked serenely to my office,and it never struck me until two hours afterward that I had quite forgotten to keep that highly important appointment —New York Press."

STOCKTON, Cal., Jan. 25.—Noah Le-ult, recently from Dawson, is here purchase horses, which he will take back with him in the spring to be used pack animals. In conversation Le-ult said that he had been looking for stock up through Oregon, but horses that part of the country were very badly run down, and he was compelled come down here for animals which would stand the rigors of the Alaskan climate and the hard usage to which they would probably be put carrying goods over the passes. This will be good news to stockmen, it will give horse ralsers in this part of the State an opportunity to supply the needs of the new gold country in the matter of horseflesh. In speaking of the project of going over the Yukon river in ice boats, he said it would be almost an impossibility as the ice in the river is very badly named, in places the ice being bucked up six feet high.
