A general stockholders' meeting of the

THE ANAHEIM SITUATION.
At Anaheim, the meetings held for the
purpose OF organizing similar company
have been marked by exceptional en-
thusiasm. The plan as it is being ag-
itated in that district is in many ways
different from that employed in Ca.
huenga, and the special features offer a
great advantage over the scheme as it
has been materialized in the Rodeo de
las Aguas. In Cahuenga, the subscrib-
ers only bonded their land in order to
raise the necessary funds, but did not
themselves advance any portion OF the
sum needed. The people of Anaheim
are going at it in more businesslike
way, and every subscriber not only
agrees to bond his acreage for the
growth of sugar beets, but also advances
10 per cent of the interest in the whole
represented by his subscription. That
means that of the $375,00 needed for
the plant, 80 per cent will be secured by
bonded land, while $37 800 will be con-
tributed in cash by the subscribers.
The great advantage to be gained is
apparent. In order to reap benefit from
the new industry in 1892. it will be
necessary to rush things. The govern
ment has removed import duty on
sugar-tactory machinery until the first
of next July, and it is therefore essen
tial that the machinery should be
landed at Galveston before that date.
1t requires considerable time for order
ing. manufacturing and transporting
such machinery, and if any time must
be wasted in addition, insorder to secure
money enough to make a preliminary
