RAILROAD SURVEYS RUN TO FACTORY SOUTHERN PACIFIC FORWARDS MAP OF LINE FROM BROOK-HURST Santa Fe Surveyors Here on Tuesday Preparing to Run Lines Into Grounds—Right of Way for Southern Pacific Being Secured, and the Santa Fe to Begin Building Immediately—American Beet Fires a Brick—Interviews With Citizens Back from a trip about the country, during which time he signed up 3200 acres of sugar beets to be grown the coming season for the Anaheim Sugar Company, Mr. Hadsall yesterday found time for an interview with a Gazette representative, Mr. Hadsall has a herculean task before him in arranging details for this story at Lyons, N. Y., but it will be equipped with the best and newest machinery wherever such additions are necessary. "I say our factory will be the equal of the best factory in the entire southwest. I am too busy signing up acreage for sugar beets and looking after the details of this enterprise to make further reply to this circular. It is reacting upon its authors. It is of course directed against us. It merely shows the sugar trust is sitting up and taking notice. The weather is a trifle warm, isn't it?" How the sugar factory is regarded by our people may be inferred from the tenor of the following brief interviews with leading citizens: H. A. Dickel, Merchant, Anaheim, Cal.: I have lived in Anaheim many years and I consider the building of the sugar factory of Anaheim Sugar Company the greatest thing that ever come to us. The location of the plant at Anaheim is about in the center of the beet growing territory in a radius of 25 miles. The railway connections are excellent, in fact could not be better. With the Back from a trip about the country, during which time he signed up 3200 acres of sugar beets to be grown the coming season for the Anaheim Sugar Company, Mr. Hadsall yesterday found time for an interview with a Gazette representative. Mr. Hadsall has a herculean task before him in arranging details for this great enterprise, but he seems able to keep abreast of his work and yesterday said everything was moving along in apple pie order. "I have received a map from the Southern Pacific railroad on its route from Brookshurst to the factory, and right of way is being secured. Santa Fe surveyors went over the ground yesterday with Mr. Egge, and surveys will be run immediately. Tracks of both roads will be constructed to the yards at the earliest possible moment, and the Pacific Electric will undoubtedly construct its line to the grounds, either by way of Cypress or Santa Ana. "I have signed up 3200 acres of land for beets the coming season, and planting will begin December 15th. We have 1000 acres on the San Joaquin ranch, besides acreage at Downey, Norwalk, Artesia and Corona. We will sign up 5000 acres, or probably a few hundred acres more, and shall have 60,000 tons of beets the first season. Mr. Egge tells me he will slice 600 tons of beets after the first week's operation, and immediately thereafter he will slice 700 tons per day. "We have the various details of the work well in hand, and you may say the factory will be built in time to handle next year's crop. We have three months time yet in which to begin, but I confidently expect the work to begin upon the factory by Sept. 15." As showing the manner in which the new sugar factory is regarded by the American Beet Sugar factory, which evidently opposes the coming of a competitor into the field, the following communication mailed from Chino to farmers in this section may shed some light: Chino, August 5, 1910. Dear Sir: It has been reported to us that certain parties are soliciting beet acreage in your vicinity, for a sugar company that proposes to move an old factory in the east to California. We are informed that statements H. A. Dickel, Merchant, Anaheim, Cal.: I have lived in Anaheim many years and I consider the building of the sugar factory of Anaheim Sugar Company the greatest thing that ever come to us. The location of the plant at Anaheim is about in the center of the beet growing territory in a radius of 25 miles. The railway connections are excellent, in fact could not be better. With the spur tracks to the plant from both railroads the S. P. and the Santa Fe service will be first-class. I am sure there is nothing but success ahead of this company. Anaheim is growing rapidly and will doubtless have 10,000 population in 1915. Henry M. Adams, Mgr. Griffith Lumber Co., Anaheim: As one of the committee appointed to aid in the installation of a sugar factory at Anaheim, I investigated the business ability and financial standing of the gentlemen who are the heaviest investors in the Anaheim Sugar Company and am satisfied that the company will have one of the best managed and most successful sugar factories in the country. The local directors, Messrs. Melrose, McLauchlin and Rust, are men well known and much respected in this city and are first-class business men. A. Thomas, President German-American Bank, Anaheim: The city of Anaheim is to be congratulated on its enterprise and business foresight in securing the sugar factory of Anaheim Sugar Company. An industry of this magnitude means more to us than we can at this time comprehend. It is fair to estimate the money paid yearly for beets and labor to be at least $450,000 when the factory is in operation, and at least $50,000 to $75,000 for labor during construction. Such a payroll adds much to the value of property, and the prosperity of our people. I believe the directors are able and competent men and that the company will operate its plant as successful and profitable as any sugar factory in the country. The railroad facilities could not be better as the S. P. railway and A. T. & S. F. railway reach all the best beet growing sections. Hon. Richard Melrose, Attorney-at-Law, Anaheim: Of course the sugar factory will be built in time for the 1911 campaign. Every detail is well in hand and the buildings will soon be under construction. The railway construction will be made in next ten years. The new Manual ment which is to owe Anaheim Union High school undoubtedly most popular branch institution.

Dear Sir: It has been reported to us that certain parties are soliciting beet acreage in your vicinity, for a sugar company that proposes to move an old factory in the east to California. We are informed that statements are being made to the effect that our company will probably turn over the Norwalk and Downey beet dumps to the new sugar company, and give up this territory. It hardly seems possible that anyone could deliberately make such false statement, but in order that you may understand our position in the matter we take this means of advising you that any statements of this kind are absolutely untrue. We have no idea of disposing of our dumps or moving out of the Downey, Norwalk or Artesia districts. Do not be misled by rash promises that cannot be fulfilled, or false statements concerning our position. Think twice before getting yourself tied up with a concern you know nothing about. We are ready to sign contracts for 1911 at any time; but usually the growers prefer waiting until the crop is harvested before contracting for the following year. Yours very truly, John T. Schroeder, Mgr. In replying to this circular Mr. Hadsall said it was reacting upon its authors. "I have no time to discuss such matters," he said, when shown a copy of the circular. "I have heard of it, and it needs no answer from me. I will say that the Anaheim Sugar factory will be the equal of the very best sugar factory in the southwest. Do you know the Chino factory is 20 years old, and it is a good factory? Our factory will use some of the best parts of the fact- Continued on Page Eight ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY. AUGUST 25, 1910 NEW COURSES OF STUDY AT THE HIGH SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS NOW IN PROGRESS WILL COST $7000 Excavations Being Made In Basement for Manual Training, Domestic Science and Gymnasium—Dining-room, Kitchen, Sewing-Rooms—An Art Course to Be Added—Corps of New Teachers—School Begins Sept. 12 The new Manual Training Department which is to be added to the Anaheim Union High School this fall will undoubtedly prove one of the most popular branches of that institution. The work of remodeling the basement of the building for the use of this department is now in progress under the management of Contractor D. A. Kimball of Los Angeles. Hundreds of cubic yards of earth is being removed and a complete underground course will include lathe work in the wood and forging in iron. Regular classes in physical culture and gymnastic work will be given and required of first and second year pupils. The faculty of the high school course consists of the following teachers: Florena Hayler, mathematics; Alice McDill, Latin and German; Bella J. Walker, English; W. H. Watkins vice-principal, history; Edna Ames, music; Loren O.Culp, commercial and physical culture; Josephine Davis, domestic science and physical culture P. I. Turner, manual training and mechanical drawing; J. F. Walker, principal, science. The manual and course of study is now in press and copies may be had by those desiring them on and after September 1st. Grammar and primary grades of the public schools open September 12, with the following corps of teachers: J. L. Vandleweer, principal of the eighth grade; E. Kate Rea, vice principal seventh grade; Elizabeth Renshaw, sixth grade; Bertha P. Kimball, sixth grade; Margaret H. Allen fifth grade; Isabella Richardson fifth grade. MILITARY COMPANY TO BE REORGANIZED NATIONAL GUARDSMEN ARE ANXIOUS TO RE-ENLIST Fifty-Eight Signers to the Lists, with Ten Others Out of Town Who have Promised to Join—Fprty Members of Old Company on the Rolls—Col. Schreiber Gives Word of Approval—Lists to Be Forwarded to Headquarters at Sacramento At Once Fifty-eight good men and true have appended their signatures to petitions asking that a company of the national guard be located in Anaheim. Ten others who are at present out of town have signified a willingness to join, and as soon as these return and sign, the petitions will require but three names to perfect them for submission to the adjutant-general. Of the number, forty are the pick of the old company recently mustered out. The new Manual Training Department which is to be added to the Anaheim Union High School this fall will undoubtedly prove one of the most popular branches of that institution. The work of remodeling the basement of the building for the use of this department is now in progress under the management of Contractor D. A. Kimball of Los Angeles. Hundreds of cubic yards of earth is being removed and a complete underground story will be added. The cost of the improvement will approximate $7000. A representative of the Gazette visited the building Saturday and was shown a blue print of the plans by C. A. Crittenden, who has charge of the work. The entire basement of the big building is being excavated, cut into rooms of various dimensions and transformed into a bee hive of industry. The principal apartment will be the gymnasium, its dimensions being 44 by 64 feet. Seven feet of earth is being excavated from this room in order to give it a height of 13 feet. It will be the playground of the department, consequently the most popular room in the building. The working department consists of the mechanical room, with dimensions 17x34 feet; the bench room, 26.5x44 feet; the finishing room, 13x16.5; the sewing room, 17x34 feet; the dining-room, 22x27 feet; the kitchen, 28x42 feet; and the storage room, 14.5x20.5. In addition to these are numerous smaller rooms for various uses, including pantrys, closets, toilets, etc. Twenty-five more windows will be added, giving ample light in every room. The wooden supports are being taken out and replaced by four iron columns. Prof. R. I. Turner, a former resident of Orange county, but who recently returned from the Philippines where he spent several years as a government instructor, has been engaged as superintendent of this new department. He brings the highest recommendations, and with the able corps of teachers will make this new departure not only popular but very profitable. Besides the old corps of teachers the board has secured Mr. Watson of Santa Ana as history teacher, Miss Davis of Pomona as domestic science and free hand drawing teacher; Mr. Calp of Santa Ana as commercial and physical culture and mechanical drawing teacher, and Mr. Turner as instructor of manual training. Miss principal, science. The manual and course of study is now in press and copies may be had by those desiring them on and after September 1st. Grammar and primary grades of the public schools open September 12, with the following corps of teachers: J. L. Vandleweer, principal of the eighth grade; E. Kate Rea, vice principal seventh grade; Elizabeth Renshaw, sixth grade; Bertha P. Kimball, sixth grade; Margaret H. Allen, fifth grade; Isabelle Richardson, fourth and fifth grades; Stephenia E. Hill, fourth grade; Elenora A. Parker, third grade; Miss Bertha Schmidt, third grade. Primary School:—Joaunce P. Burgess, principal second grade; Rose A. Kellenberger, second grade; Anna W. Walden, Airstick grade; Margaret Panton, Bfirst grade. Katella School:—Ethel Archer, mixed grade; Edna, Ames, music; Bessie M. Edwards, drawing. WIELDS KNIFE; 90 DAYS How Mr. Rodriguez Landed in the County Jail Teofilio Rodriguez, a Mexican laborer employed with the street pavers, ran amuck on Friday morning as a result of too frequent imbibitions of vino tinto. When comfortably loaded he sought to resume operations, but Foreman Jones advised him to go home and sleep off his debauch. He whipped out a knife and made a reconnoisance in force in close proximity to Jones' abdomen. The latter telephoned Marshal Simpson who placed the Mexican under arrest. On approach of the officer Rodriguez placed the knife in his pocket. Judge Howard heard the evidence against Rodriguez on Saturday morning, and sentenced him to 90 days in the county jail. The sum of $7.45 found on the Mexican's person was turned over to his wife. The latter brought two meals to him while he languished in the city jail prior to his deportation. H. F. Meers, known as the Flying Dutchman, was given five days in the city bastile on a charge of drunkenness. Mr. Meers was found by the marshal seated at a table in front of a saloon writing cards and carving names with a knife upon cardboard. "Where did you get a license to perform here?" inquired the marshal. Fifty-eight good men and true have appended their signatures to petitions asking that a company of the national guard be located in Anaheim. Ten others who are at present out of town have signified a willingness to join, and as soon as these return and sign, the petitions will require but three names to perfect them for submission to the adjutant-general. Of the number, forty are the pick of the old company recently mustered out. National guard rules require that 71 names be attached to petitions asking for the organization of a company. The maximum strength of a company is 61 officers and men, and 71 are required upon petitions so that there may be ten above the number to admit of men here and there falling to pass the examinations. Leading in the work of reorganizing a company is Dr. Wells, a military man of many years' experience, and at present a member of Company B of Los Angeles. A personal friend of Col. Schreiber, he has had several conversations with the regiment's commanding officer, with the result that he has been told to go ahead and get up the lists. With him are Capt. Schindler and Lieut. Selinger of the old company, Corporal Nowotny, Dr. Boege, E. A. Zeus, Sergeant Mauerhan, Sergeant Adams and many others. A number of new men have signed, and it is probable that before another week the full complement of 71 navy's will be secured. That Anaheim will have the advantage over other localities which may seek to secure a company to take place of the recently mustered-out company E is attributed to the fact that many members of that organization are among the most experienced national guardsmen in the entire state. These men tried hard to prevent the muster out, and were in a fair way to succeed, when orders came for the company's dismissal. There were fifty-eight men upon the rolls, only three below the maximum strength, and the company's arms and equipment were in excellent condition True, some of the blouses showed here and there a visitation of the meek and lowly moth, but this is not to be charged against the men. These blouses were criticized by Col. Wilhelm, the inspecting officer last year, and it should have been the business of the state to provide new uniforms for the company. Guns were in excellent condition and scores made at target practice were among recommendations, and with the able corps of teachers the board has secured Mr. Watson of Santa Ana as history teacher, Miss Davis of Pomona as domestic science and free hand drawing teacher; Mr. Calp of Santa Ana as commercial and physical culture and mechanical drawing teacher, and Mr. Turner as instructor of manual training. Miss Davis will also have charge of the physical culture department for girls. It is the endeavor of the board of trustees to work for the constant improvement of the school., so that it may come up to the expectation of the patrons of the school. The regular school session will begin on Sept. 12 and although the improvements may not be completed by that time it is hoped that progress will be such that all the work planned for the year, with the exception of gymnasium work, may begin on that date. In addition to the regular academic work which has previously been offered, the commercial course has been enlarged and strengthened and placed in charge of Loren O. Culp, an experienced teacher and business-man. It is hoped that the work may be as satisfactory as business college-work and while the course is regularly covered in four years it is so arranged that pupils who desire to take purely commercial work may complete the studies required in two years. In domestic science there will be offered a two years course in sewing and cooking and probably an art course, especially planned for home decoration. The course offered this year in manual training will be the benchwork in which pupils will learn how to care for and use all common wood working tools and by construction of simple and useful articles, how to do satisfactory joining, etc. Later the turned over to his wife. The latter brought two meals to him while he languished in the city jail prior to his deportation. H. F. Meers, known as the Flying Dutchman, was given five days in the city bastile on a charge of drunkenness. Mr. Meers was found by the marshal seated at a table in front of a saloon writing cards and carving names with a knife upon cardboard. "Where did you get a license to perform here?" inquired the marshal. "I don't need any license to do this," was the response. He was locked up and had his interview with the Judge later on. Two suspicious characters with the Flying Dutchman hot-footed it out of town. In his defense Mr. Meers said he was more nervous than drunk, because he had not slept well the night before. Jess Gallegos was fined $5 for trying to drink all the liquor in town. He produced four dollars, said he would never do it again, and was let off with a fine in that amount and told to vamoose the ranch. L. Johnson, cement worker, forfeited $5 fine for inebriety. PRECINCT COMMITTEEMEN A meeting of republican delegates to the county convention chosen in Precinct 1 of this city was held at Judge Howard's office on Friday evening. Judge Howard was elected as chairman and Joseph M. Baeks secretary. F. C. Spencer was selected as precinca committeeman. Judge Howard is at present chairman of the county central committee, but finds it impossible to longer serve upon the committee. Robert Cogburn, paving inspector, informs us a first-class job of paving has been completed on West Center street, from Citron to Palm. Mr.Cogburn has been on the job all the time, and has proven himself to be the right man in the right place. California has joined other states in making an active campaign for pay for the National Guard, and this subject will be taken up and considered by the next congress. Orange seems to have fallen out of the contest for a new company. It took the matter up immediately after the muster-out of Company E, but was unable to secure a sufficient number of signatures. Among local guardsmen the feeling is universal that a new company will be organized here, and the boys are working with a will to secure the necessary members. Those desiring to join should see the committee having the lists in charge. Those signing the lists are: Earl Abbey, Albert Erickson, J. R. Alexander, Kurt Epstein, J. Selinger, H. Holland, Oscar Heying, J. H. Wilke, John Boege, Carl Jacobson, E. B. Douglas, Emil Jacobson, OttoGiese, Joseph Gibson, C. V. Webb, Irving Gates, C. A. Pressel, A. H. Keller, Chas. Flscher, W. H. Knott, R. E. Pellegrin, C. Mauerhan, Wm. Huhn, C. V. Insley, Louis Daniels, E. A. Zeus, Howard Gates, C. M. Fletcher, Alvin Nowotny, Max Horwitz, H. G. Spleiman, E. T. Nickles, R. V. Lagourge, A. L. Winney, G. B. Elliott, R. M. Elliott, H. J. Wickman, E. S. Goble, Emil Jacobsen, and others on a list not to hand at the present writing. Myron Bond, Albert W. Koch F.

Every state and territory in the union, with the single exception of Nevada, which is without a militia, gets a portion of the federal appropriation for the purpose of purchasing supplies and ammunition for the organized militia during the present fiscal year, in the first allotment of the $1,600,000 war fund. The department has received about $40,000 of the fund for emergencies. According to the allotment, which was made according to the enlisted strength of the organized militia in the various states, five states get more than $50,000 each. Of these New York leads with the sum of $206,000, Pennsylvania follows with $140,000, Illinois with $84,000, Massachusetts with $78,000, Ohio with $73,000 and New Jersey with $54,000.

L. Goodrich on Monday afternoon notified Marshal Simpson that her husband had been missing and had not been heard of since the preceding afternoon, when she accompanied him to the Santa Fe depot on his departure for Los Angeles. Mr. Goodrich was engaged in the erection of a cottage at Bay City for B. V. Beebe. It was his intention to proceed thither on Sunday evening by electric-car, in order to resume work early Monday morning.

The department has also allotted $2,000,000 to the states and territories, on a basis of representation in congress, for arms, equipment, camp purposes and promotion of rifle practice in the militia organizations. CHICKEN THIEVES' HAUL Take Fifty Fowls from John Hanna's Henroosts Fifty chickens were stolen from John Hanna's barnyard at Miraflores some time after midnight on Saturday morning. Mr. Hanna does not retire until after midnight, owing to insomnia, and up to that hour all was well with his poultry. He heard no commotion among the chickens after going to bed, and is of opinion the job was done by thieves thoroughly familiar with the business. The chickens were missed early next morning, but there was little if any indication of the manner of their disappearance. At 2 o'clock on Saturday morning a commotion in the barnyard at the residence of a citizen in town roused the occupants, who arose, turned on the lights and went outside. No chickens were taken, but it is surmised thieves were about. A double-barreled shotgun brought hastily into play proved useless, for the thieves, if any were about, made away noiselessly. Many thefts of poultry have been reported of late, and an organized band of thieves has been in operation in various sections of Orange county for many months past. GOOD WORD FOR ENSENADA Returning Deer Hunters are Loud in Their Praises Frank Walters, Charley Thayer and Mrs. E. L. Goodrich on Monday afternoon notified Marshal Simpson that her husband had been missing and had not been heard of since the preceding afternoon, when she accompanied him to the Santa Fe depot on his departure for Los Angeles. Mr. Goodrich was engaged in the erection of a cottage at Bay City for B. V. Beebe. It was his intention to proceed thither on Sunday evening by electric-car, in order to resume work early Monday morning. A telephone message from his partner, Mr. Amaak, on Monday afternoon to Mrs. Goodrich asked as to his whereabouts. He had not arrived at Bay City and had not been heard of by his partner nor the men in their employ. Simpson communicated by telephone with the Los Angeles police and detective forces and a search of the hospitals was made, with the result that no one answering his description was found. The search has continued throughout the city, but no trace of the missing man has been found. On Tuesday Deputy Marshal Chambers went to Los Angeles to search for Goodrich, but up to noon on Wednesday nothing had been seen or heard of him. His friends fear foul play. Goodrich had $30 with him when he left town on Sunday afternoon. He intended using to pay carpenters employed by him at Bay City. The fact that he has a balance in bank to his credit here, and that he has no outstanding bills against him, adds color to the theory that he has been foullly dealt with. Goodrich is Noble Grand of the local Odd Fellows lodge and bears a good reputation. He lived with his wife in a comfortable home on North Los Angeles street, and his marital relations were happy. He is a large man, weighing 190 pounds, about 40 years of age, and was at one time a member of the New York City police force. PIERRE NICOLAS DEAD Well-Known Pioneer Resident Passes Away Pierre Nicolas, one of the best-known citizens of Fullerton, died at a Los Angeles hospital on Saturday morning, aged 65 years. He had been ill for some time past at his home in Fullerton with heart trouble and a complication of internal disorders. On Friday he was removed to a Los Angeles hospital, where he passed away the following day. Funeral services GOOD WORD FOR ENSENADA Returning Deer Hunters are Loud in Their Praises Frank Walters, Charley Thayer and Nels Beale returned on Thursday evening from a two-weeks' hunting expedition to Ensenada, Lower California. They killed three deer and report a most enjoyable outing. Mr. Walters in conversation with the reporter was loud in his praises of the Mexican people met at Ensenada and elsewhere on the trip. "They could not do too much for our party, and everywhere we were met by the 'most gracious hospitality." "We went 35 miles inland from Ensenada. The county is filled with game, and quail obscure the sun in their flight—there are millions of them. One of the deer was jumped up at a distance of 20 feet. One of the party got the buckague, shot and missed. The deer turned and ran, came to a stop and turned around to get a good look at us at a distance of 200 yards. A well-aimed shot then brought him down. He weighed between 300 and 400 pounds. "The Mexican women are handsome and some are beautiful. I'm going there next year and am going to stay a month." The Turners of this city enjoyed a picnic on Sunday afternoon at Columbia Gardens. Games and social converse served to pass the time and all had a pleasant day's outing. Bountiful lunch baskets were opened and ample justice was done the toothsome vlands. A supply of Standard was furnished for the picnickers. Well-Known Pioneer Resident Passes Away Pierre Nicolas, one of the best-known citizens of Fullerton, died at a Los Angeles hospital on Saturday morning, aged 65 years. He had been ill for some time past at his home in Fullerton with heart trouble and a complication of internal disorders. On Friday he was removed to a Los Angeles hospital, where he passed away the following day. Funeral services were held in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Interment being made in Calvary cemetery. Burial services were held at the Church of the Lady of the Angels, at the Plaza. Pierre Nicolas was a pioneer of the section in which he had located forty years ago. He was for many years engaged in the sheep business, and amassed a fortune. He was the owner of valuable property in Orange and Los Angeles counties. He was the father of Mrs. Marle Stern, Mrs. Louise Fighiera, Mrs. Agnes Fuller, Mrs. Virginia Miles, Pierre Nicolas Jr., and Miss Claire and Paul Nicolas. Deceased was a native of Ancelle, Haute Alps, France, and was born on April 5, 1845. DR. WICKETT ABROAD Dr. Wickett and bride, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Chapman and Stanley Chap man, who have been touring Europe since June, are in the Scottish highlands sightseeing. They will visit points of interest in Britain and will sail for home the latter part of the month. They have visited Hamburg, Berlin, Vienna, Rome, Naples, Paris and other cities of the continent, and the remainder of the trip will be devoted to a tour of the British Isles, a visit to London, Manchester and other cities and a trip through Ireland following the present visit to Scotland. On the return of the party to this side Stanley Chapman will stop off at Yale, which he enters as a freshman.
