BIG RUSH OF SUGAR BETS.

Hundreds of Tons Daily Reach the
Salinas Refinery.
SALINAS, Oct. 17.-Some idea of the
rush at the Spreckels sugar factory
may be gained from the knowledge
that several extra freight trains have
been coming and going daily over the
Southern Pacific tracks for some weeks
past. Yesterday an extra with twelve
gondola cars heavily laden with beets
arrived in the forenoon. The cars car
ried $50 tons OF beets, and this was
only a small portion Of the daily re-
ceipts. Then the northbound extra
freight takes away daily from six &C
seven carloads of sugar to the refinery
at San Francisco. This output will ay-
erage about $50 tons daily.

Sets Lightning to Work.
Near ST. townsville, N, z, Is a farm
of $50 acres belonging to- q. R. Beardslee
On this place is a. complete electric
plant, which produces the current for
lighting and heating as, well as supply
ing the power for either operations con-
nected with the FARM
This electric installation is the first Of
its kind ever used for doing the work Of
farm hands.
All the mechanical energy is supplied
by nature, and the cost Of maintenance
Of the plant is inexpensive 1t has dem
onstated that electricity used for manual
labor is a success.
The farm land is situated on both sides
Of the East Canadian creek, which is a
good-sized stream containing two falls
within the bounds Of the Beardslee prop
erty. These waterfalls. one Of which is
sixty feet and the other 100 feet high,
furnished the power.
The owner of the farm employed the
Westinghouse, company to put this
scheme in operation. =, 10 2 * -
TIL smaller fall was used as the oper-
ating power and near 1t was built a
power house in which was placed a $780,
Kilowatt Westinghouse generator, con-
nected with a horizontal turbine oper-
ated by the water
From this central power house the
current is transmitted by wires to the
dwelling house and other buildings.
One motor of ten-horse power runs
a moving machine. another threshing
machine and third works a 44-inch saw
for cutting logs.
The farm house is brilliantly lighted
and well heated by electricity. The kitch-
en- is supplied with an electrically heated
cooking stove, and in the laundry the
fiat irons are heated by the same power
In the dairy the churns and other appli-
ances all have electric motor attach

Miss Julia Vettar.s She comes from
Centralia, Wis, and has been in Min
neaponS about year. All who are in
terested In the case agree in the state
ment that the woman, while an inmate
of house of ill-repute, met Golling, and
that week later they were married.
Beyond these facts, and the additional
one that Mrs. Golling returned to her
old life and did not live with her hus-
band, the stories are conflicting The
woman says she wanted to live with her
husband. but he refused, pleading pow
erty, and that he often demanded money
OF her. Ceilings parents assert that the
woman infatuated the boy and induced
him to squander all his savings
Mrs. Golling, when seen at the police
station before her release, gave her YER
sion of the affair. Last spring, she said
they went to Chicago to visit some of
his folks He had about 5000 with him
and she had SIPS. When they returned
he began to abuse her, and later started
divorce proceedings. Friday evening he
sent for her and she met him at Hoff1in's
drug store. He wanted to go to the thea
ter, but had no money, and tried to Dor
row 1t from her. Finally she was induce
ed TO pay & for a room at the hotel.
He fought with her through the night
ana wanted her to give him money. but
she refused, and he threatened to kill
her- Yesterday morning he asked her to
take a walk and she consented. After
ihuch persuasion she decided to send g.
letter to the house where she had stopped
saying she would not go back She did
So and they started towards the Guar
ahtee building and up Third street. He
again asked her for money and she be-
came frightened and decided to leave
MN: She noticed that he kept his hand
OF, ms nip pocket and knew that he had
revolver there
Seeing two men standing on the side
walk she ran to one of them and asked
Ior protection, and was told to call a
policeman. With this Golling drew the
revolver and fired at her She could fell
nothing further about the affair.
