Bishop's Boston Bakery BAKERS OF CROWN AND QUALITY BREAD ANAHEIM GAZETTE SUGAR FACTORY IN EXCELLENT CONDITION SITUATION IN EUROPE MAY MEAN ANOTHER PROSPEROUS YEAR FOR PLANT AMPLE SEED ON HAND FOR PLANTING CROP FOR THE COMING CAMPAIGN It's an evil wind that blows nobody good. A year ago the five big sugar factories of Orange county were facing what was considered a certain loss in the campaign before them owing to adverse legislation by the powers at Washington, but with indomitable courage they determined to swallow the loss and then, if necessary, prepare to wind up their business and sacrifice the millions of dollars invested in the plants. But the fickle wheel of fortune turned around, and the campaign of 1914 closed with the most prosperous year in the history of the industry. The coming year they see another prosperous season ahead unless the wheel should turn and leave them where they were a year ago. For there is no stability in the market under the present tariff law, and the saving price was merely a speculative one. The Anaheim sugar factory closed its fourth campaign on Friday morning, November 6. Beginning the season with an anticipatory loss the plant, presumably made a profit although the actual figures will not be made public until the annual meeting of the BUICK A M A H H.

Beginning the season with an anticipatory loss the plant, presumably made a profit although the actual figures will not be made public until the annual meeting of the stockholders in January. Speaking of the year's business A. R. Peck, president of the company said: "The 1914 campaign as far as the operation of our mill is concerned has been the most satisfactory one we have ever had. This can be attributed to various causes, such as an improvement in the quality of the beets and the organization of the employees under Superintendent Jessurun. "We have cut 65,323 tons of beets and made 180,000 bags of sugar and 111,220 bags of molasses beet pulp. "In the beginning we contracted about 8500 acres of land and harvested approximately 7000 acres, having lost some acreage through floods of last spring. "The average sugar content in the beets cut at the factory this year was 18.64, which shows quite an improvement over 1913, notwithstanding the fact that the farmers received 75 cents per ton less for beets this year, the actual difference was only about 35 cents per ton, which was considerably more than made up by the increased tonnage per acre. "We have on hand at the present time as much beet seed for our next years work as we used during the present season, some of which we have obtained at rather high price; however, the price to the farmers for next year's planting will be the same as heretofore. In addition to what we now have, we expect 1000 bags from Germany, and we believe the farmers are well enough pleased this year to give us additional acreage for next year's planting." The destruction, or at least, curtailment, of the output in the five leading sugar producing countries in Europe insures a good price in the marts of the world for next season certainly, and for a number of years to come, probably, consequently our plants will no doubt be able to escape the danger that threatened them, and others will be built to assist in developing our local resources. Two and a half carloads of agricultural products from Louisiana and two carloads of agricultural and horticultural products from Missouri, gives material evidence of the intention on the part of the Mississippi valley to be outdone by no section of the country in the wealth and variety of its exhibits. Glen Fleming, secretary of the Louisiana Commission, writing from New Orleans, declares that such is the grade of the displays that no state can surpass them. Japan has begun installation of large exhibits in the Palaces of Food Products, Education and Liberal Arts. These are in addition to the three quarters of an acre of manufactured products, booths for which are nearly complete in the Palace of Manufactures. More than 600 tons of additional exhibits from Japan are due to arrive on the Tenyo Maru early in December. The Minnesota state building is to be a distinct novelty in exposition structures according to the plans received by the division of works. The building or buildings will take the form of model farm houses with out building and will serve the double purpose of model farm and social headquarters for visitors. It is to be surrounded by gardens, orchards and all the appurtenances of the farm. One thousand tons of exhibits consisted by the Chinese government to the exposition left Shanghai on one of the big Inners for San Francisco and arrived December 1. The Chinese pavilion is practically completed. The Washington state building is completed and was dedicated on December 2nd at a ball given by the state commission. The Washington building is the second state building on the grounds to be dedicated and is one of the most beautiful and imposing. From England and Holland there arrived November 23, 123 tons of rare blossoming shrubs and bulbs consigned to the horticultural department. With these was a large assortment of unnamed roses entered in the $1,000 competition. One thousand tons of plants from the imperial department of agriculture, Tokyo, arrived from Japan on November 23. This shipment is to be used to beautify the garden surrounding the Japanese pavilion. There also arrived with this shipment 520 tons of exhibits for the Palace of Liberal Arts and Manufactures. This is the fourth large consignment from Japan to the exposition. The Hawaiian building is completed and the installation of the great aquarium tanks that are destined to hold the famed painted fishes of the islands are now being installed. The first consignment of fishes arrived early this month, in specially constructed tanks on the Matsusia in charge of Fred A. Potter, superintendent of the world famed aquarium in Honolulu. The final shipment of the Philippine THE GRAY ESTATE George F. Gray, slain recently in San Francisco by an Italian laborer whose wages he refused to pay, was long supposed to be extremely wealthy. When his will was admitted to probate, his widow testified that his estate had no greater value than $500, the contractor having met with many roverses. Gray had been declared a bankrupt shortly before his death. A divorced wife believes there are documents in existence indicating a fortune of at least $800,000 and that these are being acquainted. An inquisition into the matter is now being conducted. Gray was formerly well known in Orange county, where his company did considerable cementing business.

BEE MEN ARE HOLDING HONEY State Convention in Los Angeles Finds Diseases Leasening—New Officers Elected The meeting of the State Boekeepers' convention which was held in Los Angeles closed Thursday last, after one of the best meetings ever held by the state body. A large representation was had from the various parts of the state, delegates being present from all the counties as far north as Glenn county. Among the notable features was the election of a northern man, Prof. Lynch of Modesto, as president for the coming year. A B. Shaffner is to again serve as secretary. Among those who attended from this county were I. B. Pleasanta, E. A. Horney, Andrew Joplin, George Brown, Mr. Kimball and Mr. Mathews. In the reports made to the convention it was found that according to the various county inspectors the diseases which have been giving the bee keepers much trouble in past years, are not so prevalent this season and seem to be diminishing. Both the American and European or black brood are not so bad this year, for all of which the keepers are thankful. It was found from the reports that the 1914 crop has been a very good average crop, and the quality of the honey has been exceptionally good. But owing to the unsettled condition of all markets due to the war much of the honey is still on hand, and a very low price is causing the bee men to hold their honey. The prospects for the coming year's crop are exceptionally good to the early rains and the likelihood of the plants to give us additional acreage for next year's planting. The destruction, or at least, curtailment of the output in the five leading sugar producing countries in Europe insures a good price in the marta of the world for next season certainly, and for a number of years to come, probably, consequently our plants will no doubt be able to escape the danger that threatened them, and others will be built to assist in developing our local resources. The final shipment of the Philippine exhibits arrived on the army transports Sherman and Sheridan the middle of the month. The work of the installation of the Philippine exhibits is going rapidly forward under H. O. Cresson, superintendent of construction for the government. The commissioners from Chihli province; China; arrived in San Francisco November 30; on the Manchuria; accompanied by secretaries; attaches and attendants to a considerable number. Chi Yi Yeu; secretary of industry for the Chihli province bureau of exhibits for the exposition; Lu Ching, Y. T. Lou; a graduate of Yale; Tu Huen Ha; secretary; Chu Yen Ping; investigator; Hau Yal Nion; Lu W. Han; attendants made up the party. China's appropriation of $750,000 for her pavilion and exhibits ensures her most wonderful display ever sent from the Orient. The National Pavilion, a reproduction of one of the Sacred Temples of the Forbidden City, built by a company of fifty native artisans sent to this country for the purpose is now practically completed.
