The Beet Sugar Factory Project-LocaI
Affairs.
SANTA ANA, Jan. 6.--There has been
a great deal of talk lately OF the estab-
lishment of beet sugar factory in this
locality, but the business had taken no
definite form until yesterday, when the
statement was made at meeting of the
chamber of commerce that there were
parties who are willing to advance the
money for the building OF factory as
soon as the farmers demonstrated that
they are in earnest and are willing to
plant sufficient beets to justify building
a factory.
The farmers are willing to do their
part, and it now appears that there is
nothing in the way and that the much
coveted enterprise will be set on foot at
no distant day.
The past two nights have been the
coldest that have been experienced in
Santa Ana this winter. There was some
ice both mornings, but no damage has
been reported to the orange crop thus
far. >.-
The stockholders OF the Anaheim Co
operative beet sugar factory have decided
to increase their capital stock from
s50O,000 to $750.OOO. The stockholders
decided on that course by unanimous
vote. The Gazette says: After the
increase of stock had been voted E. F.
Dyer, the beet sugar expert and manu-
facturer, who is large holder of stock,
was called on and said that ne pre-
sumed what this meeting wanted to
know first was what the proHpects were
for putting up the refinery this year. In
his opinion this meeting settled that
question right here. There was no ques-
ton about the erection of the refinery
this year. The representatives. of the
bond buyers we're in Los Angeles wait
ing the result OF the meeting. They
were waiting to look over the papers,
and when they found them TO be ali
right, would report on the same favor
ably to their bankers, and that would
give us the money for the beginning OF
operations. As for himself, he was here
to put up the sugar factory. By the lat
of next August you will see the smoke
rolling out of the smokestacks, and the
factory making sugar out of your beets.
There is no doubt about the factory go
ing up this year. The outlook is good.
The Story Of A Kiss is conceded to be
the greatest comedy drama ever written.
Madelin Merli certainly possesses the
divine spark which is famed to per-
feet flame in the quarrel scene. Rage,
hate, emotion, pride, keen sarcasIn,
Jealousy and love she portrays in less
than eeven minutes. But like many
Italians she possesses a wonderful
amount of feeling aud power, and is
equal to the task. The p tt burg Leader
says: The Story of A Kiss is probably
the greatest society drama ever penned.
Its light passages are bright and humor-
Gus ita tragic lines full of deep emotion.
Miss Merli gives mastery English in
depreciation, has great dramatic powers
and scores q well-merited success.
