SUGAR MAKING BEGINS FIFTEENTH OF JULY WORK ON SUGAR FACTORY RUSHING TO COMPLETION Masonry Work Will be Finished this Week—Machinery All Installed with Exception of a Few Light Pieces—Steam Will Be Turned on July 1st for Purpose of Cleansing Machinery, Testing Pipes, Etc.—Still Many Mechanics on the Job Many squads of men are being discharged each week from the construction work of the Anaheim sugar factory because of the completion of the sections on which they were engaged, but notwithstanding this more than one hundred men are yet employed in gathering up the loose ends and adding the finishing touches to the huge buildings. Mr. Schindler expects to finish the masonry work this week, but it will be impossible for him to complete his contract by the first of July owing to alterations in and additions to the original plans and numerous delays desperado who ever lived in this section. He is accused of several murders, and was in the business of conveying contraband Chinese across the border into this country. Welsel & Dutton of this city were appointed by the court to defend him. While they put up a strong fight to save his life, evidence was against him, and he was found guilty. District Attorney West made out a very strong case for the prosecution. Salz's conviction is the first for murder in the first degree ever had in Orange county. SCHOOL BONDS CARRIED Commonwealth District Will Erect $3000 Building Voters of Commonwealth school district on Saturday afternoon decided by a poll of 17 to 2 to issue $3000 bonds for erection of a school building. The structure will be erected in the northern part of the district. Polls were open at the residence of S. Tucker on the East Side. Considerable discussion ensued as to location of the school, but an amicable agreement was arrived at and voting in favor of bonds proceeded practically unanimously.

He still has to construct the roof of the big storage warehouse, and has several small jobs to finish before he can consider his work finished. All the heavy machinery has been installed, and practically all the work in the manufacturing sections of the plant is completed. Some of the lighter connections or machinery remains to be placed in position, but this work can be accomplished in a short time. "The fires will be started and steam turned on July 1st," said one of the contractors Monday. "This will be for the purpose of cleansing and renovating the tanks, vats, boilers, pipes, etc., but the active work of handling the beets and making sugar will not begin until a couple of weeks later. The date cannot be definitely fixed, but it will not be far from July 15th. "Considerable time was lost in replacing damaged or broken machinery. Many parts were found to be broken in transit and all such stuff was rejected by Mr. Egge and replaced with new. Every piece used in that intricate fabric had to be perfectly sound." Most of the men on the work now are engaged outside of the main building. A large force is employed in constructing a double track railroad over a trestle work which will connect with the Santa Fe spur a couple of hundred yards north of the factory and convey all the raw material into the dump. MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE Rosario Salz Convicted and Will Be Sentenced to Hang In the Superior Court at Santa Ana on Monday evening at 7:45 o'clock the jury in the case of Rosario Salz, charged with the murder of Jose Machado at Sunset Beach on September 22, 1909, returned a verdict finding the accused guilty of Voters of Commonwealth school district on Saturday afternoon decided by a poll of 17 to 2 to issue $3000 bonds for erection of a school building.

Considerable discussion ensued as to location of the school, but an amicable agreement was arrived at and voting in favor of bonds proceeded practically unanimously. The trustees will proceed immediately with erection of a handsome school building. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES The Senior class play, "What Happened to Jones," given at the opera-house last Thursday evening by the graduating class of the high school was a decided success. A large and appreciative audience witnessed the play and compliments heard on all sides for clever acting. Besides the members of the class the cast consisted of August Wilke, Earl Spencer and Walter Spaeth. Esther Hedstrom in the role of Helma, the Swedish servant, made a hit, and Elsa Asher acted her part of Alvina to perfection, while Irene Mills, as Mrs. Goodly, fully demonstrated that she knew how to take care of her "husband." Syril Tipton, as Jones, August Wilka as the bishop, and Wayne Goble as Ebenezer, all did well, as in fact did everyone in the play. Willis Marks of the Burbank, assisted by his wife, directed the play. Commencement exercises were held in the high school auditorium Friday evening. Tully C. Knoles of U.S.C. was speaker of the evening, and delivered an address on "The Evolution of American Government." All members of the senior class graduated with honor and several announcements attending higher schools. Graduates were Syril Tipton, William Jones, Horace Howard, Wayne W. Goble; Misses Irene Mills, Mattie L. Robertson, Elsa Asher, Lucile Smith, Esther Hedstrom, Margaret Tedrick, Lillian Clabaugh. The stage was beautifully decorated with flowers and ferns.

MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE Rosario Salz Convicted and Will Be Sentenced to Hang In the Superior Court at Santa Ana on Monday evening at 7:45 o'clock the jury in the case of Rosario Salz, charged with the murder of Jose Machado at Sunset Beach on September 22, 1909, returned a verdict finding the accused guilty of murder in the first degree, which means that the Mexican desperado will be sentenced to hang. Salz fired three rifle shots at Machado in Santos Carrisosa's sheep camp, where both men were employed by Carrisosa. He escaped to Lower California, and was later arrested at Ensenada. He was brought back by Deputy Sheriff Cervantes and lodged in the county jail. In October last year he escaped from jail with Alejo Macias. The two men overpowered Sheriff Lacy, locking him in a steel cell. They ran to the outskirts of Santa Ana, and while a posse of officers was searching for them they eluded capture by climbing into two walnut trees. Here they observed the officers searching for them. At night they descended from their hiding places and started for the Mexican line. They were seen some days later in the San Juan hills, but while officers were hot on their trail they made their way to San Diego and escaped to Tia Juana. Macias was arrested some months later and brought back. He was convicted on a felony charge and sentenced to thirteen years in San Quentin. Salz joined the federal army at Ensenada. He was imprisoned by the Mexican authorities for attempted murder and was some months ago brought back to Santa Ana by Sheriff Ruddock, who went to Ensenada for him. He is known as probably the worst ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1911 PIONEERS THE WAY FOR NEW SUGAR MILL MANAGER HADSELL ORGANIZING FACTORY IN HYNES-CLEAR-WATER DISTRICT Is Directly Responsible for Establishing Three Sugar Mills in Orange County, May Be Indirectly Credited With Two Others — Steigerwald, Peck & Warner of Local Sugar Mill Interested in New Enterprise—Engineer Egge to Prepare Plans Manager H. S. Hadsell of the Anaheim sugar factory, whose successful administration of its affairs has culminated in the establishment of a great manufacturing enterprise here, has within the past ninety days organized a sugar beet company in the Hynes-Clearwater district, which has been capitalized at $750,000. Interested in the enterprise are Frederick Steigerwald, A. R. Peck and C. M. Warner, who are associated in erection of the factory here. With WATER BOARD MINUTES Official Account as Reported by Secretary Armstrong Anaheim, June 17, 1911. A regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the A.U.W.Co. was held on the above date with all members present, except Crowther and Drake. A communication from the State Fish and Game Commission stated that the law required that there be placed over the inlet ditches on the river, a screen of such construction as shall prevent any fish from entering the ditches. The letter was ordered referred to the attorney, with the request that he advise the commission of the conditions at the river to show that there are no fish near the point of out intake, and that such a screen would be unnecessary. A communication from Mrs. Mary K. Miller, stated that she is having a pipe-line put in her grove, and that it would be necessary to make a connection to the ditch about 600 feet above the present gate, in order to obtain sufficient pressure to water all her ranch. Mrs. Miller desired to LOCAL LIVE WIRES OF WEEK’S HAPPENINGS HIGH SCHOOL TRUSTEES READY TO LET CONTRACT FOR BUILDINGS Anaheim’s Banks Make Top - Notch Statements of Financial Condition, Deposits Go Over High-Water Mark — Boy Scouts Enlivening Echoes in Santiago Canyon — Dr. Wickett Tel's a True Story—Tausch Slated for Major—Jot Wood Tells One Has a Good Word for Anaheim The Board of Trustees of the Anaheim Union High School is ready to let the contract for the high school buildings, as soon as the State Board of Examiners places the money with the county superintendent. It was not the expectation of the board to be able to complete the whole group at the present time, and after a conference with the architects they came to the conclusion to omit the administration building for the present. This will enable them Manager H. S. Hadsell of the Anaheim sugar factory, whose successful administration of its affairs has culminated in the establishment of a great manufacturing enterprise here, has within the past ninety days organized a sugar beet company in the Hynes-Clearwater district, which has been capitalized at $750,000. Interested in the enterprise are Frederick Steigerwald, A. R. Peck and C. M. Warner, who are associated in erection of the factory here. With them are Jotham Bixby, the Long Beach capitalist and Daniel Lane of the same place. Local stock subscriptions to the amount of $100,000 have been taken by farmers of the district, and promises made that 6000 acres will be planted to beets next year. Engineer Egge, who is showing his great engineering skill in directing an army of 200 mechanics at the local factory, will prepare plans for the new factory. Mr. Egge is taking a fall out of Father Time, and by dint of working nights and Sundays, is rounding the colossal manufactory into shape on schedule time. While the task before him is stupendous, he is proving himself adequate to deal with, and the mill will be ready for operation early next month. That he will prepare plans for the new factory, through the instrumentality of Mr. Hadse," is to be deemed a stroke of good fortune on the part of those interested in the new mill. With the erection of the factory in the Hynes-Clearwater district, Mr. Hadsell becomes directly responsible for the organization of three sugar mills in this section, the first being that at Santa Ana, and the second that nearing completion here. Indirectly he may be credited with two other sugar factories in Orange county, for the Holly mill at Huntington Beach and the projected mill on the Irvine ranch, contract for erection of which will probably be signed this week, are directly traceable to success attending operation of the Santa Ana plant. Other men have talked of establishing sugar mills here in the past. Mr. Hadsell delivers the goods. "These five sugar factories," he said yesterday, "will next year produce $5,000,000 worth of sugar. They will cost between four and five million dollars, and will slice beets from probably 40,000 acres of land. They will give employment, in mill and field, to thousands of men, and the money disbursed by them will go into the millions. It is indeed a great industry, and we have here undoubted the request that he advise the commission of the conditions at the river to show that there are no fish near the point of out intake, and that such a screen would be unnecessary. A communication from Mrs. Mary K. Miller, stated that she is having a pipe-line put in her grove, and that it would be necessary to make a connection to the ditch about 600 feet above the present gate, in order to obtain sufficient pressure to water all her ranch. Mrs. Miller desired to know what the company would be willing to do in the matter. A motion was carried that permission be granted to make a new connection to the ditch, but that the expenses must be paid by Mrs. Miller. A communication from the Amalgamated Oil Company advised that they were not yet in a position to furnish a statement of oil produced prior to June 1st, on account of new difficulties which had arisen, preventing them from moving oil from the property. Further indulgence was asked in the matter of rendering reports. The company stated that they were making every effort possible to get the oil into commercial condition as quickly as possible, and that they hoped to have the difficulties solved in the near future. On motion of Hale, seconded by Dwyer, the oil company was granted the necessary extension of time in which to make a report. The action of the ditch committee in ordering 1200 feet of 8 inch vitrified pipe to replace the open ditch in Cypress street, Anaheim, was on motion approved. On motion of Hale the vice president and secretary were authorized to draw warrants in payment of the semi-annual interest due on July 1st, amounting to $9450. The superintendent was instructed to construct an additional 20 feet of pipeline at the corner of Chapman and Pomona avenues, Fullerton, and to remove the three gates not in use on Malden avenue. Applications on file for the transfer of stock were on motion granted. Director Dwyer reported regarding result of investigations concerning the proposed purchase of an automobile for the use of the superintendent. No definite action was taken in the matter. On motion the meeting adjourned. H. S. Armstrong, Secretary. WANTS MACHINE-GUN COMPANY Nate Ulm Wants New Arm of Ser- The Board of Trustees of the Anaheim Union High School is ready to let the contract for the high school buildings, as soon as the State Board of Examiners places the money with the county superintendent. It was not the expectation of the board to be able to complete the whole group at the present time, and after a conference with the architects they came to the conclusion to omit the administration building for the present. This will enable them to complete the other five buildings, consisting of the language, commercial, science, domestic science and manual arts buildings as originally planned. There will be sufficient room in the language building to provide for a temporary study room to accommodate from 60 to 75 students. In this way the school will not suffer. The buildings can be finished in three months. The administration building will be completed later. This same plan has been pursued by the manual arts school of Los Angeles. This group of five buildings will be sufficient for the needs of the school for a good many years to come and will make an admirable showing and when the administration building is added will make a complete set of school buildings second to none in the state. as far as architectural beauty and modern convenience and facilities are concerned. IN FLOURISHING CONDITION Financial Institutions Make Excellent Showing Statements of the city's three banks published in these columns last week show them to be in good financial condition. For the summer season, when business is not up to the flood-tide of activity which characterizes fall and winter trade, the statements are most flattering. The total resources of the three banks amount to $1,141,877.67, which are divided as follows: First National $681,433.87; German American, $359,-660.29; and American Savings $110,-783.51. Total deposits amount to $837,438.-96. This is divided among the banks as follows: First National, $503,612.-14; German American, $260,392.98; and American Savings $73,433.84. Great expansion is looked for when the beet and walnut harvest begins, which will pour a stream of gold into the coffers of local banks. Added to this is money to come from tomato and berry crops, which will swell the total probably to the largest de- Other men have talked of establishing sugar mills here in the past. Mr. Hadsell delivers the goods. "These five sugar factories," he said yesterday, "will next year produce $5,000,000 worth of sugar. They will cost between four and five million dollars, and will slice beets from probably 40,000 acres of land. They will give employment, in mill and field, to thousands of men, and the money disbursed by them will go into the millions. It is indeed a great industry, and we have here undoubtedly the greatest beet growing country on earth. "The Hynes-Clearwater factory will probably be the last mill to be erected in Southern California, for I know of no other locality offering advantages sufficient to make a mill successful. In a word, the field has been covered. Of course, in the time to come there may be other men to pioneer other factories, but at the present time there is no immediate prospect of another mill being erected in this section." Mr. Hadsell will not give up his residence in Anaheim, and will continue to manage the affairs of the local mill. It will begin slicing beets about the middle of next month, and will give employment to several hundred people. In the Hynes-Clearwater enterprise he had associated with him R. L. Forsyth of Santa Ana, who was in charge of stock subscriptions and other details. Mr. Hadsell stands at the head of sugar-factory promoters in California. No other man has so many mills to his credit, and that the Hynes-Clearwater people selected him to pioneer the way for the mill is abundant attestation of the fact that his management of the factory here has been successful in every detail. T. E. Schmidt is spending several weeks with his daughter, Mrs. Dr. Bullard, in Los Angeles. Director Dwyer reported regarding result of investigations concerning the proposed purchase of an automobile for the use of the superintendent. No definite action was taken in the matter. On motion the meeting adjourned. H. S. Armstrong, Secretary. WANTS MACHINE-GUN COMPANY Nate Ulm Wants New Arm of Service at Santa Ana Nate Ulm, captain of Company L of Santa Ana, has returned from a trip to Sacramento, where he conferred with Adjutant-General Forbes relative to establishing a machine-gun company of the National Guard at Santa Ana. He has the cordial support of many substantial citizens of his town and has hopes of succeeding in his mission. The establishment of the company would mean that $166 of State money would be spent in Santa Ana every month. A full company is 61 men and three officers, and Mr. Ulm says he will have no trouble whatever in getting the necessary enlistments, if it is decided to locate a machine-gun company there. There will be six guns, each capable of firing 800 shots per minute. To haul them and carry the equipment, thirty mules will be required. The latter will not be necessary in the ordinary drill work, and will be called into play only at times, when the company might decide on a little something extra, or take a hike. The department does not ask for the service of the animals free, and will pay for their use. Capt. Ulm secured an appropriation of $400 for use in fixing up his company range. The company has leased ground from the National Rifle Association, and the money will be used in putting in pits and targets. Capt. J. F. Ahlborn spent Sunday with friends in Los Angeles. Total deposits amount to $837,438.96. This is divided among the banks as follows: First National, $503,612.14; German American, $260,392.98, and American Savings $73,433.84. Great expansion is looked for when the beet and walnut harvest begins, which will pour a stream of gold into the coffers of local banks. Added to this is money to come from tomato and berry crops, which will swell the total probably to the largest deposit account ever carried by them. The operation of the new sugar factory will also add materially to activity in financial affairs. This stream of gold will begin flowing into banks some time next month. On the whole local banks are not only enjoying a flood-tide of prosperity, but are confidently looking forward to breaking all records before the year draws to a close. OFF FOR THE MOUNTAINS Boy Scouts Leave for Outing in Santiago Canyon Attired in regulation uniform, 20 boy scouts, each of them ready at a moment's notice to respond to their country's call, left on Tuesday morning for an eight-days' outing at the camp of instruction in Santiago canyon. Each lad carried to headquarters on Chestnut street his roll of blankets, tent equipment and commissary outfit. They are in charge of E. B. Douglas, Roy Elliott and Wayne Goble, who accompanied them on the hike to the hills. A number of the larger boys rode on bicycles, with the gentlemen named, while the smaller boys were carried by L. A. Evans in his touring car. Camp was pitched at noon two miles north of the county park. Tomorrow the Orange county Y.M.C.A. picnic will be held at the park, and the scouts will attend. The boys will be well provided for and will enjoy a fine commissary lay- ZETTE 11 NUMBER 36 WIRES HAPPENINGS RUSTEES READY CONTRACT FOR DINGS Make Top - Notch financial Condition, or High-Water Mark Delivering Echoes in Dr. Wickett Story—Tausch Slated Wood Tells One Word for Anaheim ustees of the AnaSchool is ready to for the high school on as the State is places the monty superintendent. expectation of the to complete the present time, once with the archthe conclusion to nation building for will enable them out, including hardtack and a plentiful supply of other provender.

Before his friends would permit him to depart, he unlimbered the following yarn: A physician calling at the home of a patient left a bottle of medicine which was to be administered the sick man in a reclining posture. The lady of the house called on Mrs. Jones, her neighbor, and telling her of the doctor's prescription, asked if she had such a thing in the house as a reclining posture. "Why, no," replied Mrs. Jones, "we had one, but we lent it to one of the neighbors and it has not been returned. But Mrs. Smith has one, across the way." Thither the lady went, making known her mission, and asking for the loan of a reclining posture. "We had one," replied Mrs. Smith, suavely, "but—it's broken." TAUSCH SLATED FOR MAJOR Captain of Company 26 In Line for Honors in New Battalion With mustering in of Orange company, U.R.K.P., on Tuesday evening, this county advances in Pythian honors, and now forms the third battalion of the third regiment, having companies of the uniform rank in this city, Tustin and Orange. Orange company was mustered in with a total of 47 members. Brigadier-General Royer of this city was installing officer, and he was accompanied by a large delegation of members of Company 26 in uniform. Formation of the third battalion necessitates election of a major. Frank Tausch, captain of 26, the senior captain in the battalion, is slated for this honor. The election is in hands of commissioned officers of the three companies, and a choice will probably be made before the regiment goes to the Santa Barbara encampment July 1. Selection of Capt. Tausch for this promotion is in every way worthy of the man and officer. One more qualified for the position could not be found in the battalion. His selection means that Anaheim will be made headquarters for the battalion. vestment Company met at Santa Ana yesterday and discussed a plan for purchase of stock held by E. L. Olmstead, recently deposed as president of the company, at 50 cents on the dollar. It is understood Olmstead recently offered to sell his stock at 60 cents. A counter offer of 40 was made him, but no reply has been received. It was said at the meeting that a compromise might be brought about at 50, and the company continued by its present stockholders. Olmstead's promotion charge of $10,000 resulted some months ago in his down fall. He was informed the amount was excessive. Conservative men in the company, however, are agreeable to allowing him $5000 for promotion, if he will dispose of his entire holdings at 50 cents. An offer was some weeks ago made by a Los Angeles company to take over the investment company, but it is not believed the deal will be consummated. Local stockholders say the company has a splendid field and a bright future. They want to put the company on its feet again, and begin doing business. The directors have been assured by a Santa Ana bank that they can be accommodated with funds sufficient to buy Olmstead's stock at a fair valuation. The matter of purchasing Olmstead's stock will be taken up this week, and an effort made to extricate the company from its tangles which have recently beset it. A. S. Bradford of Placentia is president of the company, having succeeded Olmstead when the latter was ousted. Mr. Bradford believes the company ought to continue in business, and that it can do business once Olmstead is eliminated. The company has $15,000 on deposit with a Santa Ana bank, on which it is drawing interest. J. A. Knapp, a stockholder in the company, some months ago brought suit to set aside the sale of Home investment stock to the Orange county investment company. This is the transfer in which Olmstead is said to have fattened his batting average. It is believed that if Olmstead can be put on the toboggan at 50, the company can be placed on firm footing and will be able to occupy its field with profit to its stockholders.

Jot sells more cigars than any man traveling on the coast, and he draws down a salary that makes the average drummer's eyes bulge out when he hears of it. The other day while in San Bernardino he met a man who was smoking one of his cigars. Jot butted in and got acquainted. The man was a commercial traveler like himself. The two spent a pleasant afternoon together and became fast friends. His new-made friend was on his way to San Diego, by way of this city and other coast towns. On his return to Los Angeles a week or so later he rang Jot up on the telephone and said: "Say, I want to tell you of the best town on the coast. It's Anaheim, down in Orange county, and it's a hummer. I spent part of a day there, and sold more orders than in any town between Los Angeles and San Diego. You make it the next time you are in that section of country." Jot smiled and told his friend he lived here many years and never failed to make the town on his travels through the state. BUENA PARK ITEMS Mrs. Henry E. Lucas gave a farewell party at her home Saturday evening in honor of Mrs. Jack Fuquay, who will leave on Friday for Fort Worth, Texas. The garden was artistically decorated with Japanese lanterns. Icees and punch was served at tables placed among the orange trees. Mrs. Lucas was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Jack Fuquay, Mrs. Harvey Winstead, Mrs. C. L. Damron and Miss Grace Lucas. Invitations have been issued by the Buena Park Chapter of the Eastern Star for a dance, card party and supper to be given Saturday evening, the 24th inst., at the school hall. Mr. and Mrs. George H. Warren returned during the week from a motor trip to Riverside, San Jacinto and Lake Elsinore. They were accompanied by Mrs. and Miss Kidder of Alhambra. Mrs. C. H. Newcombe entertained with a week-end party in honor of her brother, W. R. Link, of Huron, South Dakota, who with the Reverend, G. W. Rosenberry is spending two weeks at Newcombe Place. Others present were Mr. and Mrs. C. Ernest Perkins of San Bernardino, H. R. Link of Puente and George E. Little of Fullerton. Mrs. Jack Fuquay accompanied by her son and daughter, Lincoln and Larue Reeves, will leave on Friday for Fort Worth, Texas, where they will spend several months with her father. She expects to visit in Arizona and Arkansas while away, returning during September. Members of the Ladies Mutual Aid Society will meet at the home of Mrs. W. J. Cole on Thursday afternoon.
