Henry ONnard Of the Chino sugar
factory, Ia a communication to the
Los Angeles Chamber Of Commerce,
points out that the climatic condi.
tlons are such that a beet sugar iat-
tory. by selecting It's soil, can extend
its planting and manufacturing sea
much longer than IN any
other part of the world. One of the
great advantages lies in the fact that
having no rains after certain sea
sou the crop can be cultivated and
harvested at very much less expense
than anywhere else. This years ex
perience has proved that conclu-
sively. Each factory, similar to the
one we have here, says Mr., OXnard,
means an outlay Of about 5000, 600,
and the United States will require
1000 such factories to supply it with
sugar in 1900. The building of
these factories will start up the coal
and iron mines, as well as the
machine shops all over the United
States, giving employment directly
to thousands, and a far greater i'm
petus TO our national prosperity
than could be obtained in any other
channel
Louisiana sugar men are Directing
strongly to the appointment of
negroes as inspectors under the
bounty law.
The Chino beet sugar factory has
reported TO The Treasury Department
at Washington total manufacture
of 82j tons of refined sugar since the
commencement of work there. The
bounty upon this amount of sugar
amounts to $50, 200, which is Ger
tainly a good nest egg toward the
cost of the factory. As the factory
has only been in operation the short
period Of three months, this bounty
would represent SIC, 200 for a cam
paign of SIX months. Government
Inspector Loranz reports that the
average yield of beets at Chino is not
as hi,h as was estimated earlier in
the season, being only about eight
tons per acre. The falling off is due
to lack of cultivation. He estimates
the beet yield at AIvarado at from
ten to twelve tons per acre, and at
Watsonville twelve tons upward
This section shows the highest ton
mage per acre and the best saccharine
percentage.
The Cooper and the Moro Colo
ranches in the Pajoro valley will be
in beets next year and also a consi-
derable acreage of land III the
vicinity of Blanco is expected to be
seeded for beets. The company will
have all it can do, with the present
capacity of its plant, to handle the
probable crop of 1892. The factory
will doubtless be enlarged.
Home made sorghum is for sale in
Kettle Falls, Wash, where the de-
mand far exceeds the supply. For
the past eight years sugar cane has
been successfully grown in that vici-
nifty. 1t points to new industry in
Washington.
Quite little breeze has been stir
red up by the announcement that z.
II. Cahill aud fifteen other keepers,
who were appointed by the Superior
Court in February, 1890, to assist
the receiver placed in charge of the
American sugar refinery, have not
been paid, although Attorney Gen
eral Harris contention that the
claims were not valid was decided
adversely to him by the courts last
month. The keepers claims amount
TO some $4,000 and it is stated that
one Theodore Metzzer has offered to
negotiate settlement for a consider
alton of 20 percent of the amount
of the claims. The Examiner has
been ferreting the matter out and
says that Metzger in his interviews
with the claimants made statement
that the compensation he was to re-
ceive for collecting the money had
to go to other parties, and Attorney
General Hart is one of the said
parties, although be, Metzger, now
denies that he used the Attorney
Generals name in such connec-
ton.
B. G. Weir, the chief United
States sugar inspector at Chino, has
been in this city. He says the sugar
factory concluded running its beets
over week ago and has consumed
LILY tons of beets, turning out
100000 pounds of sugar. The
factory has shut down until it can
be ascertained from Washington
whether it will be permitted to hold
its syrups over to next season before
they are run through the machinery
and reduced. They claim that if the
syrups are permitted to age a little
they will crystalize easier, and claim
that it is a hardship upon them if the
Government compels them to run
new syrups. The penalty which the
Government provides for not so doing
hot I'll
