: BEET SUGCR.-The San Francisco
Commercial Herald has been arg6iug that
the manufacture of beet sugar in California
will not pay, The Bulletin of that city
thinks otherwise, and TINS replies to its
coEtemporary's statements:
The Commercial Herald. usually a very
good hiend of our manufacturing interests,
seems to he lending IFS columns lately to
persistent efio to write down beet sugar
experiments in California. Correspon>
dents of the Bulletin having controvrrted
some of ifs statements and corrected its
estimates of expenses and profits, the
Herald returns 10 the subject at length,
AID makes no points that have not already
been sufficiently met in our columns. If
beet sugar making will not pay in Cali
fotnia, why does the writer in the Hirald,
who is identified by publication of lis
name as a party largely interested in the
sugar refueries, take so much trouble to
write il DOWN. 1t is suggestive fact that
no anxiety was shown IN this score until
the Alvarado mill had entered the market
as a competitor with a good article of 'su-
gar. aud other best sugar mills were pro-
jected in other localities.
