AS TO SUGAR BEET Gull TURE.
THE CHINO COMPANY LOOKING
FOR LAND.
Sacramento Has the Right Soil and
Plenty of It-What Is to
be Done?

Secretary Carrere of the State Luna
cy Commission, is from the southern
part of the State where he has had
opportunity to observe the workings
of the beet sugar industry, and is TAX
ing quite an interest in the movement
here in the direction of sugar beet cul-
ture.
A few days ago he had occasion to
write one Of the men at the head of the
Chino beet colony in Los Angeles Coun-
ty in the effort to interest that compa-
ny in this section. and received in reply
a telegram as follows:
Louis Hatch left Chino this morning
to join Henry Oxnard at Barstow, Tex,
to inspect a very favorable locality
where a large land bonus and other IN
ducements are offered for the erection
of factory"
The significance of this message IS
this: 1t shows that the Chino people
are open to conviction; that they are
locking for favorable location for sugar
beet growing, and that where other
things are equal they expect certain
concessions In other words, they are
working on a business basis, which
after all. is at the bottom of every en-
teTprise.
Sacramento has the right character
of soil for the growing of sugar beets
This fact was conclusively shown
in the article published in the
Record Union a few days ago.
She has enough of such ground to yield
great wealth to the county, and the
farmers are ready to engage in the in
dustry whenever there is promise of a
factory being ready to use the beets
grown by them.
The next proposition is to secure such
factory, and it is expected the Chamber
of Commerce will devise some method
by which this can be brought about
Where all the conditions are so favor
able, Sacramento cannot afford to hold
back and permit such an opportunity
to escape.
Wheat will not always bring a dol
lar a bushel but land that will pro-
duce frst-class sugar beets can be
made profitable through all the coming
years 1t is a good thing to talk VI
matters Of this character, but it is g
better thing to act There has been
too much talk and TOO little action IN
the past. with the result that we stand
Just where we did many years ago.
It is high time Sacramento We're out
of the old rut. and the way to get out
is to step out. Nobody is going tc
come along and pull her out If the peo-
ple manifest no disposition 10 help
themselves. Nature has done her full
share for US, and We owe irto ourselves
10 improve the opportunities afforded Us
for making future prosperity a certain
".
Now is the time 'to get q move On
as the saying is, or others VIII step n
and shut US out. What are we going to
do about it, and how are we going to
do il?

JENNINGS STAID AWAY.
But the Jury Went Right Along
and Convicted Him.

Early in the morning of September
9TH, Special Officer Fred Almos arrest
ed w. H. Jennings for maliciously and
willfully drawing a diamond, set in n
ring. across the plate glass in a score
of windows on the south side of X
street, between Fourth and Eighth
streets.
Jennings was charged with three sep
arate offenses, and when arraigned, en-
tered pleas of not guilty to each. He
deposited $500 in gold coin to insure
his appearance in court, and the case
was set for yesterday afternoon.
When the case was called Jennings
did not respond, and, as before stated
in these columns. nobody expected him
to do so. Most of the jurors on the
three venires summoned to try the
cases were present, and attachments
were issued for those absent. They
were brought in, and the cases proceed
ed as regularly as though Jennings had
been in the dock.
The first charge related that Jennings
had defaced the show window at so Is
street. and the evidence of guilt was SO
conclusive that the jury was out only
iong enough to write out a verdict of
Guilty as charged The two other
charges followed in rapid succession,
and verdicts of guilty We're rendered.
AS is usual in such cases, sentence
was postponed until the next legal day,
which will be tomorrow, at which time
the $500 deposited will be declared for
feited and an imprisonment sentence
will probably be entered, which will
hold good provided Jennings can be
arrested within one year from the date
Of the commission of the misdemeanor.

Yesterday evening the horse of Mrs.

an uncovered well about eight feet deep.
Various plans were suggested by those
