SUGAR FACTORY INSURES ELECTRIC RAILWAY LINE TROLLY CARS TO BE RUNNING TO BEACH BY YEAR'S END Citizens Taking Hold of Stock Subscriptions With a Will, and Many Purchasers in Sight—Wealthy Resident Asks for $100,000—Mr. Hadsell Confers With Water Board Relative to Disposition of Water—Option on Land to Be Closed Soon That work upon the proposed new sugar factory will be in progress inside of 90 days, and that a line of electric railway will be in course of construction before the year is out, is the opinion held in well-informed circles among those who are keeping in touch with these enterprises. The electric line is an essential to the success of the sugar factory. It will haul beets in from the west country, and will in all probability diverge from the main line at a point near Cypress. The line will come direct to this city, and branch north to the site of the factory. The line will also in all probability be extended from Cypress westward to Bay City, as between these two points lie soon as right of way matters can be settled. Col. Pillsbury at first favored a site south of Brookshurst, but the New Yorkers insist in the site north of town. These New Yorkers, Charles Warner, C. H. Perkins and A. R. Peck, have been in this locality several times during the past two years. They represent $28,000,000 capital. They own a factory at Lyons, N. Y., which is closed down, on account of a lack of beets, and the best parts of this factory will be moved here. They went over the beet fields of this county last fall, and pronounced them magnificent. In the east an average tonnage of five tons per acre is raised, while the average for Orange county is 15 tons, and some fields produce 20. The eastern sugar content is from 8 to 12, while at Los Alamitos last year the seasonal average was 20,and the year before 19 1-2. These men have had offers from Imperial to locate their factory there, but a test of the land for beets showed it to be inferior. Orange county offered them what they were looking for, and Anaheim was the sight selected. H. S. Hadsell, representing the sugar men, has been in Anaheim the past two weeks in the interests of the factory. On Saturday he had a conference with the water board relative to the disposition of 300 inches of water which the factory will develop. The board agreed to take care of the water in day time, and circles among those who are keeping in touch with these enterprises. The electric line is an essential to the success of the sugar factory. It will haul beets in from the west country, and will in all probability diverge from the main line at a point near Cypress. The line will come direct to this city, and branch north to the site of the factory. The line will also in all probability be extended from Cypress westward to Bay City, as between these two points lie thousands of fertile acres where the beets of superior excellence are to be grown. This line will in all probability be the route followed by the road on its way to the upper valley. At Corona two thousand acres are ready to sign up for beets. The committee in charge of soliciting stock-subscriptions report an enthusiasm among the people that augers well for the success of the enterprise. The factory projectors desire that $150,000 in stock be subscribed, more for the moral support of the community, than for the actual amount of cash involved. While Santa Ana raised upward of $200,000 for its factory two years ago, following a panicky financial situation, and while Anaheim is asked to raise a smaller amount at a time when banks have a plethoria of money at easy terms, yet it is known that even if this amount is not altogether subscribed, the factory will be built. Again, it is announced that the entire $150,000 of stock subscription can be sold in Los Angeles in a day, for sugar stock is the most desirable upon the market today. The Santa Ana factory, laboring under numerous handicaps, netted $90,000 last year, and another factory in Southern California nets more money annually than any sugar factory in the world. In a word, Southern California is the greatest sugar-producing section on earth. One factory is said to pay its running expenses by sales of beet pulp alone. The Santa Ana factory stock is quoted at $110, an advance of ten per cent in a year, despite the fact that the factory has no drainage and may not operate this year, and is likewise tied up by three big lawsuits. While it is not necessary that the entire subscription of $150,000 be taken by local people, and while it is true that the entire amount can be floated in Los Angeles in a few hours, the statement is made on good authority that a wealthy gentleman of this locality is ready to put $100,000 into the enterprise. That locate their factory there, but a test of the land for beets showed it to be inferior. Orange county offered them what they were looking for, and Anaheim was the sight selected. H. S. Hadsell, representing the sugar men, has been in Anaheim the past two weeks in the interests of the factory. On Saturday he had a conference with the water board relative to the disposition of 300 inches of water which the factory will develop. The board agreed to take care of the water in day time, and Mr. Hadsell will take up the matter of disposing night water at a later date. This water will be given away. Later on it may, and doubtless will, become a valuable asset of the corporation. Mr. Hadsell in speaking of the prospects for a successful sugar factory here said Orange county is undoubtedly the greatest sugar-beet section in the world. Climatic conditions, coupled with richness of soil, combine to produce the richest beets and best tonnage. Imperial valley was tested, but beets raised there lacked in sugar essentials. Warm, sunshiny days and cool nights form ideal weather conditions, and the rich soil of the valley combines to bring the beet to perfection here. The factory will cost $850,000. This includes a $200,000 plant for converting pulp into stockfeed. Refuse water will be clarified and used for purposes of irrigation. That sufficient acreage will be obtained is indicated by the fact that Southern California factories operating last year refused acreage, and one sold 6000 tons of beets to another factory. Orange county ships beets to Oxnard and Chino at an expense of $1.50 per ton, while sufficient acreage is at hand to supply the Anaheim factory with a freight haul of 50 cents per ton. GASOLENE STOVE AGAIN Mrs. Skelly of Westminster Fatally Burned While Preparing Breakfast Mrs. F. F. Skelly of Westminster died on Sunday from the effects of injuries received by burning consequent upon the explosion of her gasoline stove. The accident occurred on Saturday morning about 6 o'clock as Mrs. Skelly was preparing breakfast. She attempted to fill the tank while the stove was lighted when the explosion occurred. With her clothing afire from head to foot, she rushed screaming from the house. Mrs. J. R. Cavanah, a Los Angeles A. A. Mills, D., to your favor of e-mail that the contract pertain between Bardsdale tura county, was set at the length of the feet. This did not approach to the about 3000 feet in approximately $155. The cost of a baker great extent on this are required for all pressures of the foundry in different local steel bridge of a farm from $50 to $80 pending to a great foundations requirement. If you would like mate on any par could send one of some down myself site and give you ate. It would not for your highway plains and estimates the bridges that thine ing and they would mine, exactly what would cost in advance. If there is any way that I can give you glad to do so and I will always be given inquiry you may not Charles W. Corbald. In view of these being proposed that a river protection gestions that they to 700 feet in width nel of 100 feet, Mr ed if it would injure a bridge if one sp least 100 feet. He ded that these esthetics do with the high and was asked to on the Olive bridge previously driven He replied as follows: Los Angeles A. A.. Mills, D., to your favor of e-mail that by increas 100 feet would not the price of the b length of the sp course increase superstructure per bridge, but it also of the substructure amount. To build a first Olive you would of ten per cent in a year, despite the fact that the factory has no drainage and may not operate this year, and is likewise tied up by three big lawsuits. While it is not necessary that the entire subscription of $150,000 be taken by local people, and while it is true that the entire amount can be floated in Los Angeles in a few hours, the statement is made on good authority that a wealthy gentleman of this locality is ready to put $100,000 into the enterprise. That is the kind of talk that counts. The object of the factory people in obtaining this local subscription to stock is merely to obtain the moral support of the community. If they could be assured of that support, probably no stock would be offered for sale, for it is today regarded as among the most gilt-edged stock on the market. It will be seen that these stock subscriptions offer an inviting field to local investors, and indications point to the fact that they are taking advantage of it. An option upon 55 acres of land north of town, and adjoining the Santa Fe tracks, will probably be closed next week. This will be the first step in clinching the factory, and there exists no doubt that money will be subscribed in sufficient quantity to close the deal. This done, there will remain nothing except to begin work upon the building, which, it is thought, will be in progress by July 1st or soon thereafter. With work upon the factory actually in progress will come procuring contracts for beets and the means of hauling them in. The Pacific Electric company has had the matter before it for several months, and has decided to build to the factory as Burned While Preparing Breakfast Mrs. F. F. Skelly of Westminster died on Sunday from the effects of injuries received by burning consequent upon the explosion of her gasoline stove. The accident occurred on Saturday morning about 6 o'clock as Mrs. Skelly was preparing breakfast. She attempted to fill the tank while the stove was lighted when the explosion occurred. With her clothing afire from head to foot, she rushed screaming from the house. Mrs. J. R. Cavanah, a neighbor, heard the screams and saw the woman running from the house. Mrs. Cavanah seized a quilt and ran to Mrs. Skelly, threw the quilt about her and smothered the flames. The woman's husband rushed to her in the yard and with his bare hands endeavored to put out the flames. When the neighbors arrived with the quilt the fire was quickly put out. Mr. Skelly was burned about the hands and face. Physicians were called. They found Mrs. Skelly so badly burned that there was no hope for her recovery. The sufferer passed away on Sunday. A WOOZY GAME The locals took a woozy game of ball from an aggregation styling themselves the Oil Well supply team, by a score of 15 to 12 on Sunday afternoon. The fireworks marked the last game of the season, and no more games will be played until fall. Spencer and Fisher of the locals go north with the Knights on Sunday, and will be absent a week or two. Fisher will later on leave for a trip east. Others contemplate trips to the beaches during the summer months. There will be nothing doing in baseball for some time. A. A., Mills, D., to your favor of say that by increments 100 feet would not the price of the length of the span of course increase superstructure per bridge, but it also of the substructure amount.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1910 THE COST OF BRIDGES PROTECTION DISTRICT ESTIMATES AND DATA FURNISHED BY CHAS. W. CORBALEY Not Expensive for Highway Commission to Get Figures on Bridge-building—Widening of Channel Does not Materially Increase Cost of Construction—W. J. Hole Desires To Join Protection District — Olive Bridge Cost $60 Per Lineal Foot A. A. Mills has received the following letter from Charles W. Corbaley of Los Angeles in reference to cost of bridges as they will be necessary in the protection district now under consideration by the people of this section: Los Angeles, March 3, 1910. A. A. Mills, Dear Sir:—Replying to your favor of even date would say that the contract price for the bridge between Bardsdale and Fillmore, Ventura county, was about $37,000 and the length of the bridge was 920 feet. This did not include the earth approaches to the bridge which were about 3000 feet in length and cost approximately $15,000. The cost of a bridge depends to a HONORING SOLDIER DEAD Arrangements Making for Observance of Decoration Day O. V. Knowlton was in town from his orange ranch at Fullerton this week making preliminary arrangements for the observance of Decoration Day, on Monday, May 30. Mr. Knowlton says Malvern Hill Post, which has been in charge of Decoration Day exercises here for a quarter of a century, will this year follow the course laid down by eastern posts, and will delegate authority to others for arranging a proper celebration of the day. Rev. and Mrs. Mitchell of this city, the latter a daughter of a veteran, will be in charge of the exercises, which will include a program of literary and musical selections and an oration by Rev. Frank Dowling, formerly a minister of the gospel at Pasadena, now an orange grower at Placentia. "The old soldiers will be present in a body," said Mr. Knowlton, "but will pass over to younger hands the task of instilling patriotic ideals in the minds of the younger generation. We old soldiers, individually, do not count for much, and we will all of us, in the nature of things, one of these days pass off this scene of action. The principles we fought for stand as an imperishable heirloom to the younger generation and the hope ASK FOR FLAGMAN AT SANTA FE CROSSING DANGEROUS POINT AT CERTAIN PERIODS OF THE DAY Chamber of Commerce Board Discuss Various Topics—Petition Powers at Washington for Free Delivery of Malls—Sugar Factory and the Good Roads Propositions Discussed—Handicapped by Absence of Committees The absence of the chairman of various committees curtailed the business before the board of directors of the chamber of commerce at their regular meeting on Tuesday evening. All the members were present except Falkenstein, Ross, Angel, Holcomb and Eygabroad, and in the absence of Secretary Ross Oscar Renner took charge of the records and manipulated the pen. Chairman Weisel reported that certain parties had called his attention to the fact that the Santa Fe railroad crossing at Center street was a dangerous point at certain periods of the day, and suggested that the chamber of commerce request the railroad company to place a flagman there. Mr. Champion supplemented this suggestion with the statement Los Angeles, March 3, 1910. A. A. Mills, Dear Sir:—Replying to your favor of even date would say that the contract price for the bridge between Bardsdale and Fillmore, Ventura county, was about $37,000 and the length of the bridge was 920 feet. This did not include the earth approaches to the bridge which were about 3000 feet in length and cost approximately $15,000. The cost of a bridge depends on a great extent on the foundations that are required for same, and the expenses of the foundations differ greatly in different localities. An average steel bridge of a first class type, costs from $50 to $80 per lineal foot, depending on a great extent upon the foundations required for the structure. If you would like to get an estimate on any particular bridge, I could send one of my men down, or come down myself, to examine the site and give you an accurate estimate. It would not be very expensive for your highway commission to have plans and estimate made for each of the bridges that they figure on building and they would be able to determine, exactly what the structures would cost in advance. If there is any further information that I can give you, I will be only too glad to do so and I assure you that I will always be glad to answer any inquiry you may make. Yours truly, Charles W. Corbaley. In view of the fact that it had been proposed that there be formed a river protection district with suggestions that the river be confined to 700 feet in width with a clear channel of 100 feet, Mr. Corbaley was asked if it would increase the cost of a bridge if one span were made at least 100 feet. He was also informed that these estimates had nothing to do with the highway commission, and was asked to make an estimate on the Olive bridge, as he had just previously driven some piles there. He replied as follows: Los Angeles, March 13, 1910. A. A. Mills, Dear Sir:—Replying to your favor of recent date would say that by increasing one span to 100 feet would not materially increase the price of the bridge. When the length of the span is increased, it of course increases the price of the superstructure per lineal foot of the bridge, but it also decreases price of the substructure about the same amount. To build a first class bridge at Olive you would be safe in making Passadena, now an orange grower at Placentia. "The old soldiers will be present in a body," said Mr. Knowlton, "but will pass over to younger hands the task of instilling patriotic ideals in the minds of the younger generation. We old soldiers, individually, do not count for much, and we will all of us, in the nature of things, one of these days pass off this scene of action. The principles we fought for stand as an imperishable heirloom to the younger generation, and the hope springs in the breast of every veteran that the men and women of today, the school children, and all others, may have these principles of patriotism instilled in their hearts that they will respond to their country's call in time of need as the old boys did when the flag of the country was shot down at Sumter,and war's clarions resounded throughout the land. We have nothing but praise for the valor of those who fought against us, but the placing of a statue to Lee at Washington, and the erection of a monument to Wirz—that grinds a little bit. "It is what we fought for that ought to live, and the younger generation will, I am sure, take care of that." On Memorial Sunday, May 29, the Post will attend services at the Congregational church at Buena Park. Rev. Steele will preach the sermon. The program of exercises for Decoration Day will appear as soon as details are completed. HEARD OF THE KING'S END Gerald Sandilands Learns of Monarch's Coming Dissolution Gerald Sandilands while at the Southern Pacific depot on Friday afternoon learned by telegraph of the coming death of King Edward of England. The despatch which came over the wire about 5 o'clock stated that the king's family had gathered at his bedside, and that the monarch could not survive. His death ensued within an hour. Death occurred at 11.15 p.m., London time. Allowing for a difference of six hours in time,the news came a few minutes before the end. Mr. Sandilands formerly lived in London, and saw the king, then the Prince of Wales, many times. He also saw Queen Victoria and other members of the reigning family. Mr. Sandilands has lived in the United States eighteen years. Chairman Weisel reported that certain parties had called his attention to the fact that the Santa Fe railroad crossing at Center street was a dangerous point at certain periods of the day, and suggested that the chamber of commerce request the railroad company to place a flagman there. Mr. Champion supplemented this suggestion with the statement that an alarm bell was also needed at the Broadway crossing, and the secretary was instructed to confer with the Santa Fe officials relative to the establishment of a flagman on Center street and a bell at the Broadway crossing. A. A. Mills reported that he had recently conferred with Postmaster Duckworth, who requested that the chamber of commerce assist in convincing the postoffice department at Washington that Anaheim was now ripe for the establishment of a free-delivery system. He, therefore, introduced the following resolution which carried: Whereas, The receipts of the Anaheim postoffice have passed the $10,000 per annum mark, which, under th postal law, entitles this city to free delivery of mails, and Whereas, The city of Anaheim now has between twenty-five and thirty miles of cement sidewalk and many blocks of paved streets, while the work of doubling the paved streets is about to begin, and Whereas, All the houses in Anaheim are numbered and all the streets named and marked, therefore be it. Resolved, By the Anaheim chamber of commerce, that we strongly recommend and endorse the institution of free delivery, and that Postmaster Duckworth is hereby requested to use 'all possible means to get it established as soon as possible. The balance of the session was devoted to a discussion of the proposed sugar factory and the good roads proposition. A committee of six representative citizens who will have influence and can devote some time to the work will be appointed by Chairman Weisel to solicit subscriptions and assist Promoter Hadsell in establishing the sugar factory, and the selection of the committee was delegated to Mr. Hadsel and certain Anaheim business men, but as they had not yet reported the matter was laid over. Inasmuch as certain members of the board persistently make them- Los Angeles, March 13, 1910. A. A. Mills, Dear Sir:—Replying to your favor of recent date would say that by increasing one span to 100 feet would not materially increase the price of the bridge. When the length of the span is increased, it of course increases the price of the superstructure per lineal foot of the bridge, but it also decreases price of the substructure about the same amount. To build a first class bridge at Olive you would be safe in making an approximate estimate of $60 per lineal foot. The first time I have time to call on you, I would be glad to do so. I will probably be in Anaheim within the next two weeks. Yours truly, Charles W. Corbaley. Mr. Mills has received the following letter from W. J. Hole of La Habra, who desires his lands included in the proposed district: Los Angeles, May 7, 1910. Mr. A. Mills, Dear Sir:—I own 150 acres, section 7, 4-10, along the Santa Ana river. My friend, Mr. S. H. Finley, who has done a great deal of surveying for me, informs me that you have the matter of reclamation of that district in your hands. I would be glad to learn what is being done and to cooperate with you, as I desire my land to come in under this district. Shall be glad to hear from you in regard to the matter. Yours truly, W. J. Hole. The Los Angeles supervisors have ordered a searching investigation of the highway commission. There appears to be considerable rottenness in the commission, and a surgical operation may be necessary to save the patient's life. Stock Subscriptions In Circulation and Prospects Flattering The committee having in charge the matter of securing stock subscriptions met at the office of P. H.Krick on Monday evening. The committee is composed of P. H.Krick, J. S. Howard, Charles Eygabroad, W. P. Quarton, Wm. McLauchlin, C. E. Holcomb and Henry Adams. H. S. Hadsell was present and details of the lists were discussed. The lists were drawn by Mr. Melrose, who has been engaged as attorney of the new company, with such amendments as the committee suggested as to details, which met with Mr. Hadsell's approval. The lists are now in circulation and prospects are flattering for a large subscription. Many of the moneyed men of this city and surrounding county have announced their intention of subscribing for substantial blocks of stock. A committee of six representative citizens who will have influence and can devote some time to the work will be appointed by Chairman Weisel to solicit subscriptions and assist Promoter Hadsell in establishing the sugar factory, and the selection of the committee was delegated to Mr. Hadsell and certain Anaheim business men, but as they had not yet reported the matter was laid over. Inasmuch as certain members of the board persistently make themselves conspicuous by the frequency with which they remain away from the sessions Chairman Weisel is casting about for some means of inducing them to attend more regularly or else retire from the board, so their absence will not interfere with the presence of a working quorum. MEDICOS BANQUET The Orange county medical association at its meeting at Santa Ana last week elected the following officers: Dr. Violett of Garden Grove, president; Dr. Burlew, vice-president; Dr. Ida Parker of Orange, secretary; Dr. Gordon, treasurer; Dr. Ball, librarian. After reports from the secretary and treasurer, and a paper read by the retiring president, Dr. Beebe, of Anaheim, adjournment was made to the Dragon balcony where the annual banquet was served. Pink carnations, ferns and pink shaded candelabra entered into the color scheme. Toasts followed the banquet, with Dr. Violett acting as toastmaster. What distinguished foreigner assisted the colonies in the American revolution? asked an Orange teacher God, answered Tommy, promptly. A 6 PER CENT DIVIDEND Local Company Shows Profits Following First Year's Business A 6 per cent dividend paid the first year is a splendid record for any concern. The Home investment company of Anaheim, organized one year ago, of which E. L. Olmstead is president, has declared a 6 per cent dividend on its outstanding capital-stock payable May 10, 1910, at the office of the company, 113 E. Center street. This company is patterned very largely after the Los Angeles investment company, and so far has made a better record than that company did during its first year of business. The stock in the Home investment company is held almost entirely by Orange county residents and it would seem that their investment in this stock would bring them large returns. The Los Angeles investment company which is now paying dividends of 26 per cent per annum and whose stock is now $3.10 per share ($1 being par value) paid no dividends until two years after organization and built and sold only three houses during the first year. The local concern has built and sold an even dozen houses and declared a dividend of 6 per cent. That it will, in the future, outstrip its Los Angeles neighbor is within the range of possibility. KNIGHTS ARE READY FOR SANTA CRUZ MEETING UNIFORM RANK WITH PYTHIAN BAND LEAVES SUNDAY One Hundred and Thirty in Party, Will Boost for Encampment For Anaheim Next Year—Will Join the Knights' Special Train in Los Angeles—To Big Trees and Napa Before Returning One hundred and thirty uniform rank Knights of Pythias and ladies will leave Anaheim on Sunday morning for the state encampment at Santa Cruz. They take the early Santa Fe train, and at Los Angeles will join the Knights special over the Southern Pacific coast route for Santa Cruz. The itinerary embraces stops at Santa Barbara and other points going north. After reaching Santa Cruz visits will be made to the Big Trees, and after adjournment of the encampment the party goes to Napa as guests of Col. J. O. Royer, who formerly resided there, and where a royal welcome awaits them. One day at the encampment will be known as Anaheim Day, and all the Knights and ladies present will be tagged with silk ribbons bearing an The Los Angeles investment company which is now paying dividends of 26 per cent per annum and whose stock is now $3.10 per share ($1 being par value) paid no dividends until two years after organization and built and sold only three houses during the first year. The local concern has built and sold an even dozen houses and declared a dividend of 6 per cent. That it will, in the future, outstrip its Los Angeles neighbor is within the range of possibility. The business of the company has outgrown its old office at 122 East Center street, and a new office at 413 East Center street is being luxuriously furnished and will give adequate room for the transaction of its business for sometime to come. A rumor, which we so far have been unable to verify, is in circulation to the effect that the Home Investment company intends to broaden its scope of operation by opening branches and doing business in all the towns in Orange county. We are glad to see any local concern prosper and hope that the good work will continue during the next year. MRS. MARSHALL REPLIES Denies Accusations Made Against Her in Local Paper Mrs. Frances M. Marshall, who has brought suit against Dr. Adams for damages, has handed us the following reply to an article attacking her character appearing in a local publication: To the People of Anaheim and Vicinity: In reply to the article printed in last Saturday's Plain Dealer, attacking my character, will say the charges are false and was done to turn the people of Anaheim against me, knowing that I am a stranger here. I am a member in good standing in the following lodges: Daughters of Rebekahs, Macabees, Royal Neighbors, Fraternal Brotherhood, Pocahontas Sororiety, W.C.T.U.; and have been an honored member of the Christian church for 25 years.
