The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel Editor and Proprietor The Gazette is issued every Thursday morning. SUBSCRIPTION.....$1.50 Per Year Six Months.....$1.00 Three Months.....$50 Cts. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. MR. HADSELL COMES AND GOES Anaheim is shortly to lose association with a man who has done much for the recent advancement of the community. Less than a year known to us, he has established here an industrial undertaking the cost of which towers up to the million-dollar mark. With enlargements next year, in order to accommodate the business offering, the initial and subsidiary cost will go more than a million and that is but half the story. A salary payroll lofting up into hundreds of thousands of dollars, and money disbursed to farmers for their product, makes the amount of coin expended by this enterprise so large that it compares favorably with the largest industrial establishments on the coast. We refer to the man who located a sugar factory here, Mr. H. S. Hadsell, whose contract terminates in November, and who goes elsewhere to continue his work of scattering gold coin abroad in the land. His next venture will probably be in the Hynes-Clearwater section, where a sugar mill will probably be erected in the year 1913. That the mill will not be erected next year is due prior observation, he is a man who appeals admirably to a new-made friend, and we have no hesitancy in saying that wherever he may go he is bound to succeed. But his old-time friends, those who have known him since he first came into the community, admire him as they did when first meeting him; for the good he has done, and they know that other people, in other places, have in store for him the same pleasurable experiences wherever he may elect to locate. TROOPS AT SEA Here is a dispatch from London which may shed light upon Mr. Hobson's oft-repeated declaration that Japan could in the event of war with us land 200,000 troops on the Pacific coast: "Apparently the Italian government is apprehensive that the Turkish fleet may be able to hamper the passage of transports [from Italy to Tripoli] and great precautions are being taken. The expedition will start from ports in two seas, rather than from South Italy and Sicily, in order to minimize that danger, and evidently Italy is in no hurry to get the expedition on the way." If Italy be apprehensive for the safety of her transports in the comparatively short voyage across the Mediterranean, in the present war with the crippled Turk, what must be the situation confronting an Asiatic power in the insuperable task of sending a great army 6000 miles across the Pacific to our shores? Yet Italy is right in taking every precaution to safeguard the lives of its soldiers, even though the chance of an assault by a Turkish war vessel be remote. In the case of an attempted land- We refer to the man who located a sugar factory here, Mr. H. S. Hadsell, whose contract terminates in November, and who goes elsewhere to continue his work of scattering gold coin abroad in the land. His next venture will probably be in the Hynes-Clearwater section, where a sugar mill will probably be erected in the year 1913. That the mill will not be erected next year is due primarily to the fact that because of extreme drought in Europe no beet seed will be available for export before two years. Owing to his fore-sight and sagacity, however, the Anaheim factory will have seed for three years, contracts having been signed with that end in view some months ago. Mr. Hadsell came to Anaheim last year on a mission the object of which was not heralded from the housetops. Commissioned by eastern capitalists to find location for a sugar mill in Southern California, he selected Anaheim. A quiet meeting between the moneyed men of the east and local representative citizens was arranged, and satisfactory assurances interchanged. Mr. Hadsell was left to work them out. It was a task requiring patience and indomitable energy. When a site was finally selected for the mill, the many circulating rumors crystallized into a statement that Anaheim was to have an $850,000 sugar factory at its doors. So quietly and so successfully had Mr. Hadsell operated that few knew of the existence of the enterprise. When it came to making good the word of the original pledgers, the work cut out for the promoter doubled. He found we were not as good as our word at sight, and the necessary amount of subscriptions was not forthcoming. Once or twice he was on the point of dismissing the subject entirely. Envious persons outside of town lost no time in lallagagging to our detriment, and even within the corporate limits of the city there were not lacking palsanos who wagged their jaws about the great industrial enterprise that seemed to set them on their heads. A few good friends stood by him, and his sense of perseverence came again effectively into play. He overcame what seemed to be insurmountable obstacles, and the factory stands today a tower to his foresight and courage. It is turning out sugar by the carload daily. Next year its dimensions will have a ca- In the case of an attempted landing of Asiatic troops upon these shores, what of the condition of the convoying fleet as to coal? The ships after a run across the Pacific would be at their journey's end, when reference is made to the important item of propulsion—they would be as intitle as painted ships upon a painted ocean. Vessels and men would be absolutely at our mercy. The task must be dismissed as impossible. There is nothing on sea or land so helpless as a regiment of soldiers aboard ship. The smallest gunboat may come alongside and with a single well-directed shot send them to the bottom. It will be remembered with what tremors of trepidation the American navy went about transporting Gen. Shafter's army from Tampa Bay to Santiago, even though there was not a Spanish war vessel within 3000 miles of Cuba. Every vessel which could be taken off the blockade was detailed as a unit of the convoying fleet. Of cause, all this might seem to have been unnecessary, much as Italy's apprehensions in the present instance are probably groundless, but the purpose of the navy department was so to protect the precious lives of the American soldiers that not a chance was taken to place them on the short end of a possible encounter with Mr. Cervera. The task was not difficult, as war measures go, for Shafter's army did not compose more than 20,000 troops; but when it comes to transporting ten times this number across the Pacific, what tremendous danger threatens? The Asiatics would be at the bottom of the sea before they had gotten half way across the ocean. We hope Mr. Hobson has seen the London dispatch, and has taken another hitch at his trousers. Let him be unafraid. Haven't we got Col. Schreiber with us yet? SUPERVISORS' ACTION APPROVED even within the corporate limits of the city there were not lacking palsanos who wagged their jaws about the great industrial enterprise that seemed to set them on their heads. A few good friends stood by him, and his sense of perseverance came again effectively into play. He overcame what seemed to be insurmountable obstacles, and the factory stands today a tower to his foresight and courage. It is turning out sugar by the carload daily. Next year its dimensions will be enlarged. It will have a capacity of 800 tons of beets per day, instead of 600 as at present. It will take beets from 9000 acres instead of 6000 acres as at this moment. The projectors of the mill are satisfied, the stockholders are satisfied, the farmers are more than satisfied, and so are all others connected with the mill. Nor has he failed to demonstrate himself a fighter on upholding the interests of his people. When another concern invaded his territory, taking beets away to a distant county, his threat of reprisals had instantaneous effect. It was more than a bluff. It worked. The horizon is now of the color of the rose—two roses. His work complete, he lays aside his authority, and goes elsewhere to prosecute his endeavors in the upbuilding of the commonwealth. We have found him as good as his word. He has fulfilled his promise of locating a sugar mill here, even though at one time it seemed to hark back to the Sugar Factory on Wheels many years ago, which was run into the ground. He has made good. More than that can no man do. For his future welfare Anaheim has nothing but the best and sincerest well-wishes. Of pleasing personality, extensive travel and clear-head- The decision of the Orange county board of supervisors to approve the recommendation of a committee of the Anaheim board of trade in reference to endorsing the state highway along the route of the Camino Real, meets with unqualified approval of citizens and taxpayers in the northern end of the county. It had been known for some time that Supervisor Talbert favored a state highway along the coast, and the action of the board is therefore all the more appreciated in this section. In a recent letter from State Engineer Ellery to Mr. Mills, that official gave it as his opinion that the state highway would be constructed along the Camino Real in this county, that is, through La Habra, Fullerton, this city, and Santa Ana to the San Diego line. He also said that a highway would be constructed from this county joining the county seat with the Riverside county line. When these two state highways shall be constructed, the people of this section will be ready to join with Mr. Talbert in voting bonds for an ocean boulèvard, as well as lateral highways throughout the county. Supervisor Struck of Orange favors endorsing a road from the main state highway through this city, to Olive ANAHEIM GAZETTE Placentia Townsite Stop and think when you were ever offered before the chance to buy lots in a new railroad townsite where the tributary country was one quarter as highly developed or as thickly settled as Placentia District, and yet such other railroad towns have grown to be cities with high realty values, consequently how far greater the possibilities are at Placentia. Don't you wish to share in Placentia's future? Don't you want every boost Placentia receives to be a direct benefit to you? Don't you want a few dollars every month placed where they will double and treble themselves for you? Placentia Lots will do the above for you. Placentia Townsite Addition No. 1 Has just been placed on the market and there are some excellent buys offered. Get in first and take your pick. Placentia Lots—Residence Lots $200 and Up.

Office Placentia. and thence up river canyon to the Riverside-county line. This will embrace the Olive bridge, and is an excellent suggestion. The lateral from Olive to Orange and Santa Ana can be taken up at a later county bond issue. The supervisors will in the near future make recommendation to the state highway commission relative to the location of state roads in this county, and their recommendations will probably be adopted by the state commission. They have done well, and their action meets with commendation here. Mr. Talbert’s shoreline boulevard will meet with hearty approval later on. A VERY PRESENT NEED A matter which the press and people of Santa Ana and of the entire northern part of the county should take up with vigor is that of securing better electric railway service between the Placentia, Fullerton, and Anaheim districts, and the county seat. The territory to the north greatly needs better and quicker means of reaching Santa Ana and the beaches and such better facilities if afforded would be largely patronized. On the other hand Santa Ana would be greatly benefitted by the coming to this county of more of the residents of the northern part of the county who are now practically debarred from coming by insufficient railway communication. The Southern Pacific could add greatly to its prestige and incidentally, largely to its revenues in Orange county by giving us the service suggested. This can be done either by electrizing its local lines, which move we understand has been under consideration, or by connecting up the two sections of the county by means of the Pacific Electric line. The Blade hopes to see this matter taken up earnestly by the chambers of commerce and other commercial bodies and by the people generally. The press, too, could and no doubt, will do good service here and with a long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether, we can hardly fail to get what we need. Let’s try it—Santa Ana Blade. FULLERTON The question of whether the sale of alcoholic liquors shall be licensed in the city of Fullerton will be determined by the voters on November 25, that being the day selected by the city trustees. The city attorney has been instructed to prepare the formal notice of intention to call the election, which ordinance will be passed by the trustees at the next regular session. The city clerk has inspected the list of signers of the petition for the election and found the required 25 per cent of qualified voters had signed it. The action of calling the election is mandatory on the part of the board of trustees. The fight against the saloon will be vigorously waged by the temperance element. Very little interest was manifested in this city in the election Tuesday, only a small percentage of the electors voting, and many of them only on a few amendments. The city has signed a contract for a term of five years with the Southern California Edison company for an improved system of streetlamps which will be installed at once. Contracts will be let this week by the Santa Ana co-operative sugar company for a warehouse and beet sheds. The contract for the factory proper was let several months ago to the Dyer company of Ohio. That company’s construction engineer, John Riegel, is now on the ground, and will begin work next week. The new sugar company has as its manager H. S. Thatcher, formerly of Lamar, Col., and F. L.
