LARGE AND QUICK PROFITS.

The cultivation of the sugar beet is
destined to be an immense interest in
Southern California, as it has been for
long while in Europe. The French
Revolution, amongst other things, re-
suited in the severance of Hayti and
other French sugar-producing colonies
from the mother country. This disrup-
ton was followed by the Napoleonic
wars, which rendered the introduction
into Europe of West Indian and South
American sugars very difficult, and, at
times, impossible. Napoleon 1. stimu-
lated the production of beet sugar by
bounties, and its culture was also en-
Enthusiastically adopted in Germany.
Not even the most pessimistic individ-
ual will dare to contend that the pro-
duction of sugars and syrups can be
overdone in the United States. A high
tariff never brought American produc-
ers up to the point of supplying tithe
of the demand for home consumption.
There is literally millions in it, in
region like Southern California. The
yield of the beet under the
happy conjunction of the sun and
soil OF this section will be some
thing out of the common, and
the proportion of saccharine matter in
the beet will be quite exceptional. The
great drawback which the makers of our
dry wines have to encounter is the ten
dency of the grape, in this climate and
soil, to run to sugar. This gives US the
supremacy in the manufacture of sweet
wines, such as our ports, sherries and
angelicas. The virgin soil hereabouts is
SO prolific that it is hard to arrive at an
average yield of beets to the acre. The
soil is anywhere from eight to eighty
feet deep, and of inexhaustible fertility.
The percentage of saccharine matter
carried by the beets grown here is un-
usually large, frequently running up to
Is per cent. The profits which the beet
farmer will reap will therefore be ex-
ceptionally large. The chances are great
that the net returns from an acre of
ground set out in the sugar beet will more
than equal those of a we'll appointed
with the difference in favor of
the beet that there will be no need of
waiting for the maturing of tree or vine.
The government bounty of two cents
pound on domestic sugar gives stability
to the interest.

THE Taxpayers Protective association
has it in its power to be splendid
agency for good in this community. The
extent to which the taxes have been
swollen in this city and county is SIM
ply appalling. To say that much of it
is robbery is to put the case mildly. In
the meeting of the association held on
Saturday the statement was made that
between $4,000 and $1,000 worth of
plumbing was done on the old court
house during the past year. We believe
it is contemplated to occupy the new
court house during the coming July.
Such statements ought not to be made
unless they are true. If true, they con-
stitute crime OF a grave magnitude.
This large sum was simply thrown away
as respects the county, and doubtless
for a purpose. The HERALD, the other
day, made reference to an alleged
forced balance in the county's book
keeping. A member of the association
confirmed that rumor. Here is splendid
work for public-spirited citizens. "Hew
to the line, let the chips fall where they
may" This is an inevitable prepara-
ton for honest and responsible admins

ANOTHER appeal is made against the
confiscation of property by the scheme
of widening Los Angeles street to the
city line. There ought to be general
movement against these nefarious pro-
grammes of spoliation. Our correspond
ent says that it is understood that the
movement was engineered by an ex-
councilman in the interest of corpora
ton, and suggests that if this corpora
tion wants the street widened it ought
to pay for it. The HERALD entirely
agrees with this view of the matter.
The modest property owner ought to
have some rights that even the council
should respect.

THERE is no reason why great fish
canning industries should not grow up
here. The crayfsh, which is specially
abundant in our waters, is really far
superior to the lobster. The barracuda
is notable for it's whiteness and firm
ness. We have shoals and shoals of
minute smelts, which would make an
admirable sardine. Then we have a
great variety of fish which could be
picked, potted or canned. 1t is in
our power, as the olive orchards of
Southern California increase, to rival
the tuna and sardine products of the
Mediterranean, which, canned, form
such delicious adjunct to meal. AS
garnishments for the table, these deli
cacies cannot be surpassed, and we can
certainly equal them from the waters
which lie between San Pedro and Santa
Catalina. To extend the operations of
such a cannery all that is needed is to
send schooners down to the coast of
Lower California, where turtles of enor-
nous size, abounding in the famous

dino is due to the fact that water has

Peri must have been out of sorts at

there will be no acquisitions to this list.
