PRODUCTION OF SUGAR California Leads the States, With 35 Per Cent of Country's Output The following table gives the production of California beet sugar in recent years: Year. Tons. 1888 1,910 1891 5,224 1895 23,827 1899 42,100 1902 73,761 1908 99,613 1910 144,747 1911 150,000 California beats all previous records and leads in the production of beet sugar for the year 1911. The foregoing table shows the tremendous increases in the production in beet sugar, of which California produces 35 per cent of the entire United States. Authenticated estimates are to the effect that the 1911 crop in California consists of 150,000 tons—3,000,000 bags or 300,000,000 pounds. The output, with sugar at 5 cents a pound, will be worth $15,000,000. The 1910 output was 144,747 tons, and sugar sold at an average of 4 cents a lb., and an estimate of the total production was $11,000,000. The figures and facts are given by Robert Oxnard, vice president of the American beet sugar company, one of the earliest pioneers in the industry in the state of California. He is a reliable authority on the subject and is in a position to judge conditions accurately. Oxnard knows the pulse of the unsteady sugar market in every tropolis of Europe and America. There are sixteen states in which sugar beets are grown, and distributed among them are sixty-three factories. Of these sixty-three factories, California has only eleven, but the peculiar adaptability of its soil to beets and the mildness of its climate have given the industry an im- breathed his last, the end coming shortly before 11 o'clock. The body was removed to Santa Ana, where the funeral was held on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. When religious persecution drove numbers of the old families from Scotland the Montgomerys became established in the north of Ireland and from that country three brothers crossed the ocean to America prior to the Revolutionary struggle. One of the brothers settled in the commonwealth of Virginia, another settled among the planters of the Carolinas and the third established a home in Georgia. William Montgomery, who belonged to the Carolina branch, enlisted at the opening of the first war with England and aided the patriots in winning independence, serving with distinction under that illustrious commander, General Thomas Sumpter. In the family of the Revolutionary hero there was a son, A. B., who was born and reared in South Carolina and became an extensive planter in Mississippi and Arkansas, making his home meanwhile in Nashville, Tenn., where he held the highest social rank and numbered his friends among the aristocracy of that city and state. For his wife he chose Miss Davidella Flournoy, member of a prominent family of Lexington, Ky., and they became the parents of nine children, of whom one daughter and one son, Victor, alone survived. The parents came to California in 1875 and settled at Santa Ana, where both died and were buried, the father being 82 at the time of his demise. The beautiful city residence of the family at Nashville, where his birth occurred April 28, 1846, was the child hood home of Victor Montgomery, and until the outbreak of the civil war his life passed happily, surrounded by every comfort which wealth can bestow or refined taste can demand.

Oxnard knows the pulse of the unsteady sugar market in every tropolis of Europe and America. There are sixteen states in which sugar beets are grown, and distributed among them are sixty-three factories. Of these sixty-three factories, California has only eleven, but the peculiar adaptability of its soil to beets and the mildness of its climate have given the industry an impetus sufficient to place it first among all its competitors and to assure it the greatest future of any section in the country. From the first it seems that sugar experts realized the wonderful possibilities of California in its adaptability to the sugar beet. The first sugar beet factory in the United States was constructed in California at Alvarado, and as a living proof of the success of that speculation by its builders the Alvarado factory has continued in operation ever since. The largest beet sugar factory in the world is also located in California, at Spreckels, and has a daily capacity of 3000 tons. The eleven factories in the state have a combined capacity of 11,000 tons daily. Oxnard said it would be difficult to make a correct estimate of the amount of raw beets raised in the state this year. But from the estimate of 300,000,000 pounds it is calculated 1,110,000 tons of raw beets were grown by California farmers this year. The acreage planted to beets was about 100,000 acres. As a strong confirmation of the signs of prosperity by reports of the record breaking crops of citrus fruit, lima beans and walnuts, comes the news that the output of sugar is the biggest in the history of the industry, the biggest output of any state in the United States. That the beet sugar industry in California is fast becoming one of its most important branches of agriculture is seen in a comparison of this estimate with Colorado for the past three years. In 1908 Colorado took first place in point of production with its total of 200,000,000 pounds of sugar. In 1910, having an increased acreage and a high sugar content, California forged ahead with a production of 250,000,000 pounds, Michigan came second with 224,000,000 pounds and Colorado third with 197,120,000 pounds. The beautiful city residence of the family at Nashville, where his birth occurred April 28, 1846, was the child hood home of Victor Montgomery, and until the outbreak of the civil war his life passed happily, surrounded by every comfort which wealth can bestow or refined taste can demand. While he was a student in the Nashville Military Academy the cloud of war darkened his home city, whose gallant sons espoused the cause of the confederacy with a devotion natural to all who fervently loved the land of their birth and the spots hallowed by the graves of their ancestors. At the opening of the war the father was very wealthy and the son helped him to burn over $1,000,000 worth of cotton in order that it might not fall into the hands of the union army. This loss, together with other misfortunes inseparable from war, reduced the family to poverty, but all was relinquished with a spirit of loyalty to the confederate cause. It had been the father's promise that the son, as soon as sixteen years of age, would be allowed to enlist in the southern cause and in accordance with this agreement, May 1, 1862 the youth entered a cavalry company of confederate soldiers. During the latter part of the war he served as scout under General Nathan B. Forrest. Among the principal battles in which he fought were those of Iuka and Corinth. During the battle of Greenville, Miss., he was taken prisoner and conveyed to a transport, which sailed up the Mississippi river. At a point on that stream just below the mouth of the White river he jumped from the boat into the water and got into a skiff and reached the shore. The undertaking was hazardous in the extreme, but was brought to a successful consummation in his return to his command. The close of the war found him, with arms surrendered and property lost, but with the natural buoyancy of youth to aid him in accustoming himself to new conditions. Desiring to complete his education he matriculated in the University of Mississippi at Oxford, where he prosecuted his studies with ardor and enthusiasm. Upon leaving the university he took up the study of law under that famous statesman and jurist, Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, and in 1868 he was admitted to practice at the bar of Mississippi.

PIONEER JURIST PASSES Judge Victor Montgomery Breathes His Last at Huntington Beach Victor Montgomery of Santa Ana, dean of the Orange county bar and president of the Orange county bar association, died on Wednesday evening, Oct. 18, at Huntington Beach, whither he had gone with his daughter, Miss Gertrude, the day before, intending to remain for a few days preparatory to taking up the Overacker case in the superior court on Monday, in which trial he was leading counsel for the defense. Judge Montgomery had complained of feeling ill for some days previously but his indisposition was not considered serious, and his death came as a shock to his many friends. Judge Montgomery registered at the Huntington Beach Inn and was about the seaside town all that day talking with friends and late in the evening partook of a hearty dinner, returning to his room soon afterwards, where a little later he was found in a state of collapse by his daughter who went to see her father before retiring for the night. The family were immediately summoned to the bedside of the stricken man, but before they arrived he had natural buoyancy of youth to aid him in accustoming himself to new conditions. Desiring to complete his education he matriculated in the University of Mississippi at Oxford, where he prosecuted his studies with ardor and enthusiasm. Upon leaving the university he took up the study of law under that famous statesman and jurist, Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, and in 1868 he was admitted to practice at the bar of Mississippi. However, a short time later he was induced, owing to the failure of his father's health, to return to the family estate in Washington county, Miss., in order that he might assume management of the plantation. Disposing of property in the south in 1875 the Montgomery family removed to California, where the young lawyer again took up the practice of his profession, remaining at Anaheim for a number of years. Later he removed to Santa Ana, where he entered actively into the work for the organization of Orange county. Since then he has engaged in professional work and has practiced in the federal and California courts. During the year 1884, when Grover Cleveland was the democratic candidate for president, Mr. Montgomery was the democratic candidate for state senator, and he was justly proud of the fact that in his home district he led Mr. Cleveland by 584 votes. To him belongs the distinction of having drawn up the original bill providing for the creation of Orange county and he was one of the leaders in its organization, as he has since been a prime factor in its development. As a criminal lawyer he has gained a widespread reputation and through his broad knowledge of that department told me that he had ding a patient with materially relieved electric bed-warmers.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE of jurisprudence he has been able to successfully defend a number of men charged with murder. In common with all residents of Southern California, the fruit industry deeply interested Mr. Montgomery. Not only has he made a scientific study of the occupation, but he has had practical experience on an extensive scale, having planted 60 acres in citrus fruit in Orange county and about the same amount in walnuts. Horticulture in all its branches was a subject of especial interest to him and with agriculture also, both as conducted in the south and in our own state, he was thoroughly familiar. All movements for the advancement of his town and county appealed to his co-operation and sympathy. As a member of the board of education he promoted school work in Santa Ana and elevated the standard formerly maintained for such activity. With his family he held membership in the Presbyterian church of Santa Ana, in which he has been chosen to act as trustee on numerous occasions. Fraternally he was associated with the Ancient Order of United Workmen. His pleasant home in Santa Ana was presided over hospitably by his wife, whom he married in 1879 and who formerly was Charlie Louise Tarver, of Brown Co., Tex., but from girlhood a resident of California. They are the parents of three children, Tarver, Gertrude and Louise, all of whom make their home in Santa Ana, where the son for some years has been interested in the real estate business.

The usual sights on entering an Eskimo habitation are: On the way opposite you a steamer-like berth covered with skins—the sleeping quarters of the family; underneath, or in front, sit one or two women, busily sewing; to the right, a man making hunting gear. Never will you find an Eskimo family idle. All occupants are naked to the waist, sometimes only covered with a loin cloth. Along the wall on either side burn several lamps. These lamps are shallow soapstone basins filled with the oil of the seal, whale or walrus; along the edge is placed a little ridge of moss, which answers the purpose of the wick in our lamps. The lamps do not smoke, and, besides illuminating, throw a great heat. Above the flame hangs a piece of blubber, to replenish the oil, also a tea kettle. You are cordially invited to take off your things and stay awhile. This means disrobing to the same extent, for the air is foul and the temperature that of a Turkish bath. If you come during meal time, which is at any hour of the day, you are cordially invited to partake; you decline and no offense is given. If the meal consists of frozen fish, blubber or something they know the white man abhors, some joker will especially entreat you to join his dish and then there is a great laugh all around. The Eskimo loves to laugh, play practical jokes on his friends, respond in witticism, and is of a happy, childlike disposition. Treachery, stealing and lying are practically unknown among them, the two latter only since some of them have imitated the white man.

NOTICE is hereby given that by virtue of an order of the Superior Court in and for the County of Los Angeles, State of California, made and entered in said Court on the 2nd day of October, 1911, the undersigned executors of the last will of Horace W. Chase, deceased, will sell at private sale the following described real estate, located and being in the County of Orange, State of California, in separate parcels, viz: In the Rancho San Juan Cajon de Santa Ana, described as Lots One (1), Two (2) and Three (3) of Stockwell's Subdivision, as shown on a map recorded in Book 6, Page 10 of Miscellaneous Maps in the Recorder's Office of Orange County, State of California, less five acres off the THE AGE OF ELECTRICITY "Thirty years ago," said a member of congress to a newspaper reporter, "I walked six miles over a hot and dusty road from my country home to the county seat to see a circus that advertised to have on exhibition a light made by electricity. There were scores of others in our neighborhood who went, not to see the circus, but to get a sight of this new marvel, the electric light. "That was thirty years ago. Last month, on advice of my physician, I went out to a suburban sanitarium for treatment for a rheumatic trouble. At the corner I took an electric car that carried me to the suburbs. There I entered an electric automobile that whisked me a mile farther, to the sanitarium. Having arrived there, I was taken by an electric elevator to my room, where the attendant turned on the electric-light and switched on the electric fan. A moment later the house physician came in. On leaving me, he said I would be notified when to come down to the treatment room. Soon after his call an electric sign on the walls flashed the words, 'Treatment Room.'" "On going down to that apartment, I had an electric-light bath, after which the physician applied electric sponges to my aching joints. When I returned to my room the electric telephone at the head of my bed rang, and lying there, I talked to my secretary in the House office building in Washington. He had called me up to ask after my health. "Just before day the next morning I awakened, and desiring some hot milk, summoned the night attendant by pressing an electric button. When I made known my wants the attendant retired, returning in a few moments with a small electric stove, on which he soon heated a palatable drink. Before rising that morning I had an electric massage. The nurse told me that he had just been attending a patient with a chill, and had materially relieved him by packing electric bed-warmers about him. "During the forenoon I had a slight attack of nervousness. I was placed in an electric chair—not the electric chair—and its gentle vibrations soon sent me off into a soothing sleep." "During the afternoon I had occasion to communicate with a colleague on a matter that I did not care to trust to the telephone. According- ILLICIT DIAMOND BUYING.
