BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
1t Goes Forward Despite Threats
of Two Years Ago.
IS. f. Chronicle.)

10 SHI
The Oxnards, who declared two years
ago that if Hawaii were annexed they
would not spend another dollar on
California beet sugar propositions.
have been fully as active in that re-
spect since annexation as they were
before. The latest news from them is
of S75O,OOO investment in a Ventura
beet ranch of 5000 acres. which they
have added to one of 1000 acres already
in hand. This ranch is to be divided
into small tracts and occupied by beet
growers who will raise the product
used in the OXnards' million-dollar fac
tory.
Evidently the sugar magnates have
recovered from their scare. Not only
is Hawaii in the Union and producing
more sugar than ever. but we are fight
ing to bring the Philippines in also.
Porto Rico is in the same status as Ha-
wall, and Cuba is likely, if not an
neXed, to get reciprocity treaty. New
ertheless, the investments in beet
sugar properties are piling up, and
will, we think, continue TO do so until
the combined production of cane and
beet sugar supplies the local demand
and keeps pace with its increase.
That will take some time. We are
now importing 4.91S ,905. 1873 pounds of
sugar annually. and paying 99.066. Isl
for it, while the amount of our per
capita consumption is steadily gaining.
Adding Porto Rico, the Philippines and
Cuba will by no means glut the mar
ket. Porto Rico produces 10000 tons.
the Philippines 100000 tons and Cuba
$4,000 tons. or 2,57S. $50 900 pounds in
all. This is 340.225.733 pounds less
than the American importations. OF
which. besides. il makes a part. OBJ
viously. therefore. beet sugar produc-
ton and manufacture has an ample
field

AMERICA GETS IN
Steamer Had Been Quar-.
antined in the Orient.
Will Land Passengers at Detention
Station HerA-Tskss FrsiEh On.
Wants 500 Tons of Coal.

The arrival of the America Maru
yesterday morning was what called
the members of the Board OF Heslth
together in special meeting early in
the afternoon. After much discussion
it was decided that the passengers.
cabin and steerage. be landed ut quar-
antine island until the period OF quar-
antine is completed. Since il has been
seventeen days since the case of
plague was reported on board ut Io-
~kohama, there still remain four days
of quarantine. This is in accordance
with the resolution recently adopted
by the Health Board making twenty
one days the period OF quarantine.
The freight will not be allowed to be
landed at all. The America will con-
tinue right on TO San Francisco as
soon as she mas finished coaling. As
she will take on about 500 tons of coal
she will not get away until about the
18th.
After reaching Yokohama the Amer
lea was quarantined for six days. Four
steerage passengers were landed. Two
of these were afflicted with bubonic
plague, one dying the following day.
There have been no outbreaks OF
plague since the steamer left Ioko-
hama. Several cases OF fever have de-
veloped. however. among the steerage
passengers.
The steamer people had the choice
of either having the vessel put in
quarantine here, or of going on 70
San Francisco with all passengers, OF
of landing them on quarantine island
