Uncle Sam" Will Get a
Fifth of a Million From
the Salinas Plant.
Three Cargoes From Germany
Now Await Unloading in
This Harbor.
Everything Which Gould Be Made in
America Was Given to Home
Manufacturers.

Some idea of the magnitude of the sugar
beet industry now under way in Salinas
may be obtained by casual glance at the
investment of capital in machinery for the
manufacture of sugar.
Though everything which can be made
in the United States has been purchased
or arranged for in this country, it is fact
that even the largest manufacturing
plants in the United States are not pre-
pared to make the ponderous and peculiar
machinery used in the manufacture of
sugar from the sugar beet. Owing to this
fact much machinery for the great Sa-
Iinas plant has been bought in Germany.
There arg three cargoes from Germany
now in this harbor and many more are to
come. The Custom-house records show
that Claus Spreckels paid out in duties on
machinery imported from Germany last
week $54, 374 10, which is 2 mere beginning
of what is yet to be expended in the same
wav.
The Government OF the United States
will collect as duIies on the machinery TO
be used at Salinas As per cent on $500 900,
or 1925, 900. All of this machinery will ar
rive in a few months. Thus it will be
seen that the industry will swell the reve-
nues of the General Government as well
add to the thrift and general welfare of
the people of Salinas and the beautiful
country adjacent thereto.
Speaking of the matter yesterday, Mr..
Spreekels said:
"There is much machinery made to bet
ter advantage in this country than in Ger
many. This is true especially of the GEN.
trifugal machinery, the 9000- horsepower
engine, which was made by the Bahcoek
& Wilcox factory and of the electric ma
chinerv and pumps. But there is great
deal of the machinery which cannot be
made without special appliances, such as
exist IN the great German machine-shops
only. If the sugar ind usIry goes forward
generally in this country the Risdon and
the Union Iron Works will make the ma
chimes necessary for the manufacture of
al the machinery need IN the beet busi-
ness. IL would be almost impossible to
have this work all done here now, but We
have bought everything possible in this
country, as We intend to do in all this
work

Attempts to Commit Suicide.

A Married Woman, Name Unknown,
Attempts to Commit Suicide.
A married woman about 80 years of age
threw herself into the bay last night from
the hay wharf at Third and Berry streets.
A sailor on a scow schooner, who had
been watching her and who had OWNED
her intention when he saw her throw off
her hat and cape, jumped in after her and
took her ashore.
The ambulance was summoned and she
was taken to the Receiving Hospital. On
the way she secretly pulled a penknife out
OF the pocket of her dress and was about
to draw the blade across her right wrist
when she was observed and the knife
taken from her.
Sne positively refused to give her name
or address or any reason why she wanted
to commit suicide. At first she wanted a
messenger to send word to her hush and,
but changed her mind. A few minute be-
fore lump ping into the water she went into
Bohlan's saloon and asked for drink, but
did not get 1t.

A Big DEMAND
FOR OUR LUMBER
Dealers Cannot Fill the
Orders That Are Pour
ing in From the East.
The Mills Are Running at Full
Capacity to Supply the
Orders for Shingles.
Prosperity in Many Industries the
Cause of Increased Prices for
Forest Products.

The Ium bermen are beginning to enioy
some of the prosperity that Is swee ping
over the country. During the past three
months there has been such an increased
demand for lumber that the dealers are
unable to fill the orders. Many of the
firms in town have been Obliged to refuse
orders as their books are now filled with
more than they can get out for MANY
weeks. The mills are running in full
blast, but the output is not near large
enough to supply the demand. In conse-
quence the price has gone mp consider
ably. Lumber that was selling for SO per
thousand three months ago is now bring
ing $13.
There IL phenomenal demand for
shingles east of the Rocky Mountains.
and the sawmills of Washington, and of
Humboldt County in this State, are kep
running night and day. The price has
advanced from 81 thousand to 81 35.
with prospect tnat it will go still higher.
The shingles made on this coast have
driven the Eastern shingles out of the
market. which is now being supplied bv
the product of Washington and Cali.
fornia.
1t is estimated that 200o carloads a
month are shipped to the East at present,
and those who are in position to know
state that the output this year will exceed
| $1,000 carloads. The superiority of the
California redwood shingles over the red
cedar shingles of the Washington forests
1s becoming well known, and, in conse-
| quence, the orders tor the edwood article
are increasing daily. One firm alone re.
| ceived an order recently from the East fol
sixty carloads.
A member of the Pacific Lumber Com.
pany said yesterday: 'tThe lumber in.
| dustrv IS now in much better condition
| than it has been for long while. The peo.
| pie are more prosperous, as business has
revived in many branches and the people
are able 10 make improvements They
! are sending In orders so fast both for lum
Der and shingles that we are unable to FL
| them.
1.-THE prices for lumber and Shingles has
advanced, and l have reason to believe
| that they Will continue 10 do so. for the
mills on the coast cannot turn them ou,
fast enough to supply the demand. The
tariff has had good deal to do with this
for the cheaper grades of pine lum be
which were formerly supplied by Cana
dian merchants have been shut out Oul
mills are running up to the limit, but we
| cannot fill our orders and we are obliged
to refuse great many that come in. !"
Simpson d. Co., the lumpe merchants
made similar statement. Orders were
coming in to them from all over the Stat,
in such numbers that they were compelled
to notify many of their patrons that they
would be unable to ship to them as ali tine
| output for some time to come had already
| been contracted for.

WASKICKEDDOWNSThIRS
W. E. Bradbury, the Millionaire
Capitalist, Convicted of
Battery.
The Jury Took Only Six Minutes
Deliberation to Arrive at
Verdict.

w. E. Bradbury the millionaire ca pital-
ist of expectorating fame, was convicted
of battery by jury in Judge ConIan's
court yesterday afternoon, and ordered to
appear for sentence tomorrow.
The complaining witness was Paul T.
Durney, a piano-tuner and furniture pol.
isher. He testified that on Septe IN Der /
he called TO see Mrs. Irwin, proprietress of
the Bradbu Hotel, Polk and California
streets, about turing piano.
While waiting for her on the second
landing the defendant ordered him out oi
the place, took him by The shoulders,
kicked him downstairs and forced him
into the street. He raped on the door.
and when defendant opened he said: "Sir,
I will have you arrested for this" Dur
ney claimed that he was a gentleman and
wanted to act like gentleman, but be
objected to the indignity of being kicked.
Mrs. Irwin testified that Durney called
to see her about tuning the piano, and as
she was busy she asked him to wait for s
few minutes. She saw the defendant force
Durney out of the front door.
B. ]. Boylan, a deputy license inspector,
testified that he was on the second land
ing, and saw the defeneant kick Durney
down stairs and push him out of the front
door.
The defendant claimed that Durney was
making disturbance, and he told him to
be quiet. AS Durney continued to ges-
ticulate and talk loud defendant took him
by the shoulders and gave lin boost
with his knee, following him downstairs
ard pushing him out of the door. Dur
ney burst open the door, and defendant
again closed ii.
Bradbury was subjected to severe
cross-examination by Prosecuting Attor.
ney Mogan, during which be admitted
that he might have kicked Durney in hi.
excitement. He might have told Durney
that he was the "boss" of the place. In
his heart and to the best of his judgment
he did not mean to kick Durney. He
tried to evade questions put to him, until
the Judge lost patience and sharply re.
buked him.
The ury was only out six minutes. II
is likely the Judge will infict the severest
punishment within the law.
