proved. am convinced now more than
ever that this is one of the industries for
which the Pacific Coast, at any rate GER
tain sections of it, is peculiarly adapted.
Seeds of the sugar beet have been dis
tributed from Washington to the Rio
Grande and the experiments are proving
successful wherever there is proper soil, a
dry climate and the sun does not get too
hot to burn the leaves. Lately l have seen
fine beets from Spokane.
81 may be oyer-enthusiastic in my be-
lief of the utility of this industry in the
way of developing the resources of this
State, vet believe my enthusiasm is well
grounded 1t solves the problem how a
small ranch can be made to pay without
irrigation. 1t solves the problem, What
agricultural industry can man engage in
that will bring him in sure, safe return?'
1t solves the problem, What shall be done

the problem, How shall the thousands of

ductive be made to raise good cropsp
The annual report of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1894, gives detailed figures on
the workings of the different beet-sugar
factories for the season of 1898. Some OF
these figures are still quite interesting, and
show Chino to stand first in the list. both
for tonnage yield of beets per acre and
sugar Weld per ton. These figures give
ample justification for the claim that
Chino possesses advantages for the growth
of sugar beets superior to any place where
they have vet been grown in America. We
produce few of the figures from the Com
missioner's report:

mereial ThraldOm.

To-day the prominent business men of
San Francisco will be given an opportunity
of testifying to their faith in the new val
ley road.
That enterprise, so auspiciously started
by Claus Spreckels and his committee of
twelve, has commended itself in practical
form to all hitherto asked to lend helping
hand. Already over million and half
dollars has been subscribed to the new
stock and the two million mark will speed
lily be reached and passed.
Apart from the sentiment of the idea
the patriotic feeling of helping CALIFORNIA;
eman cipation-the business men regard a
heavy subscription as the soundest of bust
ness investments.
"What is good enough for Claus Spreck-
els and his friends is good enough for me, "
is the common remark, and in the par
lance of "the street" there is likely to be a
general scramble to get in on good thing.
Valley road stock is expected to be valua-
BILE before long. So the twin motives of
patriotism and pocket are both squirting
merchants to join the good company of
stockholders before it is too late
The committee of twelve will meet to-
day at O'Clock, and in the meantime a
canvass of prominent downtown houses
will be made for subscriptions. The
amount of ground covered will depend in
part on whether check-books are in readi-
ness when the committee arrives, but as
all are agreed on the vital importance of
the road not much delay on this account is
expected by the canvassers.

BARRIERS WILL UNITE.
In One General Protective
Association.
BOSSES And JOURNEYMEN.
Their Organization Was Effected
Yesterday.
DISAGREEMENT ON SUNDAY CLOSING.
A Manifest Desire to Improve the Trade.
All Bosses Not Yet Decided
How TO Act.

To improve the moral, intellectual and
social condition of members, and to aid
unemployed members in finding work at
their trade, are the fundamental principles
underlying a movement among the BARRIERS
of the city to form an association to be
known as the BARRIERS Association Of San
Francisco.
There is nothing narrow in the scope of
organization; no lines drawn between the
employer and employee. That is, at least,
the understanding which was decided on
at meeting of the tonsorial artists held at
Foresters' Hall, 102 O'Farrell street, yes
terday afternoon. The movement for or
ganization grew out of the meeting called
by the BARRIERS Protective Association, a
beneficial organization, to consider the bill
which has been introduced in the Legisla-
ture providing for the closing OF barber
shops on Sunday altogether.
At that meeting it was decided to send
out petitions for signatures asking the
Legislature to pass a law under which
BARRIERS must close on Sundays and legal
holidays at II NJ. sharp, as there was con-
siderable opposition to keeping the shops
closed all day. Judging from the senti-
the petitions will not be sent to Sacra-
mento. As one member put it, the Legls-
lature could not create a half holiday Tor
BARRIERS or anybody else.
The meeting was called to order by j.
Klitch. He expressed regret that there
was not larger attendance, but attributed
the fact more to the fine weather than
willful lack of interest in the movement.
The object of the meeting, he said, was
to advance the profession in general-jour-
neymen and bosses alike. Matters were
coming to critical point in the business.
If something was not done soon every one
would be working until 9 o'clock every
night and all day Sunday. The speaker
knew that there were many BARRIERS in the
city who kept their shops open all day
Sunday. This was something, he said,
that should be stopped. The meetings
held recently had been called by the
bosses, and now the journeymen must
stand by them, and see that at least half
ton by BARRIERS generally.
He reviewed the work OF the old BARRIERS
Union, which had succeeded in having
the shops closed at o'clock each week
night. Now that the present movement
had started in so well, even if the attend
ance was not so large as it should be, the
speaker hoped there would be no collapse
through lack of cooperation. A committee
had drawn up a constitution and bylaws,
and he thought it would be in order to
have the same read.
William G. Seppich, one of the thirteen
bosses present at the meeting, objected to
the document being read until some of
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1895-02-04

those gathered had spoken their views,
and it was learned whether the BARRIERS
really wanted to organize. While he would
like to see an organization, he doubted
whether the project would be carried
through.
George A. Aubertin spoke as one deeply
interested in the purpose of the meeting.
1t puzzled him why the BARRIERS did not re-
spond better to the cause favoring a better
ing Of their condition. The proper spirit
seemed to be lacking, and without it moth
ing could be done. He made a strong ap-
peal for the BARRIERS TO try to raise them
selves to the level OF professional men.
q good barber is professor in his bust
ness, yet he is ignored whenever he goes
into society or elsewhere, simply because
he IS q barber. They must destroy this
prejudice by elevating themselves. To be-
gin, If shops were compelled to close at s
p. NJ. on week nights and IL NJ on Sundays
and holidays, BARRIERS would have some OPP
portunity to improve themselves.
Paul Hamann expressed his views very
forcib1y. He had only arrived here last
April, and as member of the BARRIERS
international Union, which is strong in
the Eastern States, he had never worked
on Sunday before coming here. He did
not believe in any half-holiday. Let the
BARRIERS maintain the whole of Sunday as
a day of rest, the same as other craftsmen
in trades and professions. He advised or
ganization to help the cause of progress
in the profession. The Legislature could
not grant any half-holiday concessions.
J. 2. Frenna, another of the boss bar
bers, spoke of his past experience in max
ing fights to assist the cause of the profess
sion. If there was a unanimity of senti-
ment and a mutual hearty desire to stick
together in the organization movement, he
was in favor of it. He was decidedly OPP
posed to closing the shops all day Sunday !;
but he did want to see the II o'clock propo-
sition go through. 1t was useless to ex-
pect any legislation as regards that,
though, for no such action could be taken.
No laws could be passed for any special
class of people. The only way to make a
success was for the BARRIERS to be true to
each other.
The president spoke once more favoring
a Sunday-closing law taking in the entire
day. The BARRIERS could say to the public:
"Get shaved on Saturday, or else wait until
Monday morning."
George a. Vazina, lately from Los An
geles, favored the union of bosses and
journeymen.
A motion to the effect that Secretary
David Martin read the constitution and
bylaws was lost, while one to organize
was carried
The roll was then opened and twenty
iourneymen BARRIERS signed it and paid
their initiation fee.

dorm CANNOT Be FOUND.
His Health Requires Very Frequent
Change Of Climate.
He Is Regarded As an Important Wit
ness for the People in the
Mcdonald Case.

All of the witnesses in the r. II. Melon
aid case have been subpenaed with the ex-
ception of D. S. Dorm, whose whereabouts
is still unknown. The prosecution has
been unable to find him so as to serve him
with the process of the court.
The prosecution believes that Dorm will
not return to San Francisco until the trial
of Mcdonald is ended.
NJ. A. Dorm stated yesterday that he did
not know his brothers whereabouts.
"My brother" he said, sis somewhere in
Southern California. Heis travelling about
from place to place, and is on his way back
in about two weeks. l do not think he
knows exactly when he will return, as he
is travelling leisurely as his fancy dictates.
l had letter from him few days ago, in
which he said he was tired of being in the
cold north and was enjoying himself in the
warmer south.
"My brothers trip has nothing to do
with the Mcdonald trial. Last year l was
away for considerable period, and my
brother decided to take well-earned rest
this year. He had been overworked, and
needed some recreation from business. I
cannot understand why the prosecution
wants him as witness in the Mcdonald
case. All that he knows about the matter
he learned as an attorney, and he would
not be asked to divulge his clients secrets.
AT any rate, he would not do So"
Assistant District Attorney Edgar PICK
otto, who is connected with the prosecu-
ton in the Mcdonald trial, has different
view of the matter. He said: eve are
still trying to find D. S. Dorm. We have
hunted all over for him. He has been To-
Gated in several different places, but as
soon as he learned he was known he left
for some new place. He kept moving so
rapidly that we could not reach him with
the necessary legal papers. If he is trav-
cling for his health he must have been ad-
yised to jump about very quickly. 1 be-
ieve he is in some place where he can be in
communication with this city, and that he
will not return until the Mcdonald trial is
over. We expect him back then. We be-
lieve he knows several things about the
matters of the two banks which he did not
learn in his position as attorney. Wewant
to ask him certain questions, and we be-
heve that he does not want to answer
them"

M. X. Kelly Was Badly Frightened by
a Female Friend.

a Female Friend.
Mrs. Katie E. Graves, a prepossessing
young woman, was arrested on the corner
of Fourth and Folsom streets yesterday
afternoon on charge of carrying con-
cealed weapon.
She was arrested at the instance of M. K
Kelly. young man with whom she had
been keeping company and whom she said
she dearly loved.
Kelly rushed into the Southern Police
Station in great state of excitement and
informed the officers that there was a
woman down on the corner who was about
to shoot him. Officers Dillon and Crockett
hurried out and found the woman, who
was waiting for the return of Kelly.
A search at the station revealed the fact
that she had a very neat-looking thirty
eight callber revolver and also bottle of
laudanum.
The woman denied that she intended to
Kill Kelly, but said that she intended to
take the laudanum for the purpose of
committing suicide Her affections were
conferred upon Mr.. Kelly, she said, and
without him life was not worth the living.

all with the fatal drug.
Mr.. Kelly feels quite sure, however, that
he would have been subject for the

IN asking her to wait for him a moment,
during which time he procured police
assistance. He saw the pistol in the bosom
of Mrs. Graves dress, and that is what
frightened him.
