" two hundred yards from the railroad
depot, and without waiting to view the
town the visitors at once repaired there.
AT THE FACTORY
Vice President Clark led the way, and
was followed by the entire crowd all
expecting to be able to make sugar them
selves when they returned. Some of the m
were even jokingly debating upon what
they would DO with their sugar after
they had begun making it. That not
one man in every half hundred knew
anything of what he was to see is GER
tain, and although their practical knowl-
edge of the Industry was probably not
advanced by what was shown them,
there was not one who was not intereste
and instructed by witnessing what few
had ever seen before. Those who went
there expecting to find a small concern
employing a few hands and enclosed in
a tract Of an acre or two were more than
surprised at the magnitude of the plant
and expressions of amazemsnt at the
size of the buildings and admiration OF
the perfect arrangement of the works
were heard on all sides.
The visitors were first taken to the
dump where the sugar beets are delivered
by the wagonload to the factory. This
part of the plant itself was almost worth
the trip to see. Huge wagons pulled by
eight and ten horses were drawn vi
a long incline to a movable section of a
nigh platform from which sloped tbs

Loomis' mother Mrs. Smith, on East
Thirty-SecOnd street


Thrty-second street.
Not long ago little Edward ran away
and lived for three weeks at the fruit
cannery near the corner Of Jefferson and
Main streets before his parents found
him. Last Saturday he ran away again
and was picked up on Boyle Heights by
Officer Ditewig, who found him at a
house where he had gone to ask for
something to eat. He sent the child to
the police station. Mr.. Loomis was noti-
fled Of his sons whereabouts and on
Wednesday called to take him home.
The father was driving delivery wagon
for one of the bottling works in the city.
At the first house where he had to leave
an order he handed the lines to his SON
and told him to hold the horse. Instead
Of obeying the youngster embraced the
opportunity to escape and lit out. Yes
terday he was again caught and Officer
Henderson was detailed to take him
home
Mrs. Smith, Edwards grandmother,
stated that the boy was not to blame for
running away as his life was made mis-
cradle at home by his step mother, who
treats him with the greatest cruelty
The boys father is not at home much
of the time and he is left almost to the
sole charge Of the step-mother, who is
said to be a woman of irascible temper
The family lived with Mrs. Smith since
the burning of their Sierra Madre home
until yesterday, when Mrs. Smith re-
fused to allow Mrs. Loomis to remain
in her house any longer.
When the trouble first came up Loomis
made an effort to get his son committed
to the Whittier Reform school, but In.
this he failed. His trial on the original
charge of cruelty will come up In the
police court tomorrow

His Slide for Life

Henry Windsor of Winstead, Conn.,,
met with a peculiar accident Monday,
and by cool calculations saved his life.
While repairing the slanting roof of a
house he made misstep and slid down
the roof at a rapid rate of speed. In
stead of clutching at anything in the
hope of saving himself, he allowed him.
self to slide as rapidly as possible over
the caves. A narrow passageway sepa-
rated the house from hotel full of VIM

would carry him across the passageway
into one of the windows, and he was not

HOW SUGAR is MADE
From here the party entered the fac

the machine at one end of the plant and
saw and tasted the sugar that came out
at the other end. Between the two places.

machines at work. They watched the

into sugar, but so far as knowing what

making was concerned. OF course, a
technical explanation of the manufac-
ture of sugar was impossible with such
a crowd, although the officers of the
company and the employees did all that
they could to make their visitors under
stand the nature of the different stages.
The operatives even stopped their
work at times to give some questioner
as good an idea as possible of just what
function was performed by certain ma

repeatedly remarked upon, for the floors
