SANTA ANA, July 28.-Since Orange
has been county only nine offenders
have been sent to the state prisons from
here, which is certainly very credita-
BILE showing. Strange to say, the first
prisoner taken to San Quentin was
woman, Modesto Avila, who received
sentence OF three years for blockading
railroad track. Her time is now finished
and she is living in the northern part OF
the state enjoying freedom. The last
person sent from this county was Oscar
Wells, who 80 cruelty beat his little
stepson. At the present time there 1s
not criminal case on the calendar, and
no county in the state can show better
record than this one.
ALL FAVOR IT.
The Blade this evening publishes in
terviews with large number OF the
heavy taxpayers OF this county in re-
gard to whether or not they believe the
supervisors should appropriate money
to maintain the exhibit at the worlds
fair. With two exceptions all favor the
plan, and the opinion is almost unani-
nous that further appropriation OF
$500 or 5000 should be made to maintain
it. Orange county can lily afford to let
the display run down, for it will result
in great good to every part OF the coun-
ty. Our supervisors will receive the
endorsement of all If they vote in favor
Of further appropriation for this pur-
pose.

''All arrangements for the placing OF
the $4OO, 900 of our bonds have been
most advantageously made. | have in
terviewed many senators and congress-
men of the Democratic faith, and the
general opinion is that no unfavorable
legislation in the matter OF bounties on
sugar will be made--at least not at this
session OF congress. All seem to incline
to the belief that the sugar industry
should receive encouragement from the
government, to enable US to control our
own sugar supply.
$50 strong have the assurances been

but the contractors on the building of
the works have ceased to have any fears
as to the final result of our beet sugar
industry.
NEARLY all the labor used in the con-
struction of the works will be procured
at home. Ours is a cooperative institu-
tion. Two hundred farmers are inter-
ested in it, and the work will be distrib-
uted largely among them. OF course we
will have to employ some experts to set
up and ran the sugar-making machin-

next season. Only about 1000 acres
were planted this season, and vet the
yield will be upwards OF 10000 tons.
"The planting of beets in Orange
county so far has been experimental,
but it has been demonstrated that tkey
do we'll here. Why, there are some
fields in the county this season which
will produce IS tons to the acre, and 10
analytical tests made show that an aver
age OF 16 per cent of ssccharine matter is
attained. This ought to be highly salts.

net $4.23 per ton.
"The outcome of the Anaheim beet
sugar factory is being watched with in
terest. As soon as it has been proven q
success four more factories will be built
in Orange county and southern Los An
geles county, each having capital stock
OF $500, 900, and worked on the co-opera-
tive plan. 1t is the greatest thing that
