LOS ALAMITOS

LOS ALAMITOS, March 31.-(Regular
Correspondence Towns in Southern
California frequently spring into exis-
tence in a night like Jonah's gourd. Los
Alamitos is one of that kind. The first
OF last November there was no such
town. Fifteen days was all that was re-
quired for building a branch railroad
from Anaheim to Los Alamitos, dis
tance of nine miles, to connect the South
ern Pacific system with the sugar beet
town of Orange county.
Five months time has brought into
existence a busy little town where last
October there was nothing but vast
sheep range. The cause oe this develop
ment Is beet sugar factory now being
erected which will have capacity of $50
IONS of beets per day the present season
and 800 tons per day-the same as the
Chino factory-next season. American
machinery is being put into this fac
tory, and thus it will not only keep at
home large sums of money now sent to
foreign countries for beet sugar, but it
also keeps at home the money that would
otherwise be sent to Europe for the beet
sugar machinery. The factory will be
ready to start up on the 18th of June
If there are no unavoidable delays.
There will be $500 acres of lands planted
to sugar beets this season in this vicin-
1ty, about one-half of which are now
planted and about one-quarter of which
are now up and growing.
Los Alamitos as town will soon have
as much backing as a business center
as Chino now has, mad there is no rea-
son why in the course of very few years
this town should not grow to become a
duplicate of the beet sugar town in San
Bernardino county.
The Southern Pacific company will
hob liz l.
here from Los Alamitos to Long Beach.
thus forming a belt line that will be
very popular with tourists and pleasure
seekers who desire to take a short trip.
