The rate in tons of beets per acre raised in
California, as compared with the yield in
France and Germany where the greater
amount OF this sugar is made, Is greatly Ia
favor of this State, averaging i've TO seven
tons more per acre, accounting only for a
single crop here per year. while If two crops
upon these river sipage lands can be raised
Annually, as so generally and confidently
claimed, the yield per acre would ba in
| creased about three times that obtained on
the Continent of Europe. There has never.
however, been any question in this State as
to the fact of beet culture paying the farmer.
at prices paid by the factories, and even at
the present time
CONTRACTS TO FURNISH BETS
At the Isleton factory at So per ton are ac-
cepted by them as affOrding better remuuera-
ton than can be obtained from any other use
of their lands This is 81 less per ton than
the average paid by factories in Germany and
| France; but when the far greater yield per
acre is considered, the remuneration TO the
| beet-grower here far exceeds that in Europe.
| The question OF whether or not the making Of
sugar here can be made profitable to manu-
! facturers, would seem, when brought into
! comparison with the cost attending its foreign
manufacture, and considering the difference
| in price obtained for sugar produced, to adj
nit of no uncertainty in solution. The fac
tories here can obtain unlimited supplies of
| beets of superior quality at three-fourths the
price per ton paid in Europe. The manu-
tacturer in this country has no Government
duties whatever to pay, and Congress has pro-
tected the manufacture Of beet sugar by a
| tariff against other nations of from 2 to I
cents per pound, whereas the various Euro
pean Governments exact revenue of from 2
! to cents for every pound there made.
'ruF AUvApsro FACTORY
Is selling its entire production, and could
readily sell many times more at ten cents
per pound, wholesale, without moving it
from its warehouse, while the price obtained
in Europe does not exceed seven cents per
pound. With these undeniable facts so
largely preponderating in favor of our man
ufactUre, when accompanied with the proper
application of the appointments and methods
found to be most successful, it would seem
that this industry, in the portions of the
State most favorable to the raising of beets,
would eventually take precedence over all
Others, and not only prove n blessing
by increasing the demand for labor
and supplying by home production a
leading commodity and necessity of life,
but also as affording a safe and remunerative
field for home Investment of savings and CAPT
tai. A large number in this city are already
deeply interested in the present revival of
the beet sugar enterprise. based as it is upon
the present managers experience at another
factory, and have intirnated their intention
of establishing other factories between this
city and Isleton, should the present move
ment prove successful.
ABsCoNDED.- Henry Deyhel, partner of
J. B. Keuney, who keeps saloon on Second
street, between l and J. left the city last
Thursday morning and has forgotten to
come back and make good certain moneys
and other articles taken with him. On the
morning referred to, he stated to his partner
that he was expecting some money from San
Francisco to be sent from Oregon, and that
ne was going down there to see about it, aud
would return that night. Previous to leav-
ing, Keuney asked him if he had money
! enough to 90 with, and he replied that he had
that he would not need much. After he
was gone his partner discovered, however,
that Deyhel had taken what money there was
III the till, amounting to S25 or more,
and subsequently it was ascertained that he
obtained at one place ffteen-dollar pair of
pants, to be paid for on his return. He also
took one OF EberhRrdt's finest double.bar-
relied shotguns, with fail accouterment, which
he borrowed. He also borrowed S25 from
gentleman, and tried to borrow 500 from
| another, but failed. 1t has now transpred
that $500, which was in his hands as Treas
urer of the Caucasian Lodge in this city, has
been taken by him. His trunk, which was
left in a conspicuous position at his room, as
it would now seem designedly to prevent
suspicion of his non return, was Yesterday
opened and found to be empty. Nothing has
been seen or heard of Deyhel since he left on
the 22d, and whether he went to San Fran
cisco no one seems to know.

stitutes complete performance. Last even
