OFF FOR SAN JOAQUIN TO
NOTE BEET SUGAR CULTURE
TRADE EvANGELs LEAVE LOS
ANGELES TONIGHT
Will Visit the Rich Territory Near
Lake TuIare Which Southern CALI
fornia Capital Is Fast
Developing

Tonight at 7:S0 the delegation of Los
Angeles business men whom the Secur-
ity Land and Loan company and the
Pacific Sugar corporation will sepd to
Tulare, Kings and Kern counties to see
the progress of development there caused
by Los Angeles capital, will start for the
north.
They will also seek to establish closer
trade relations between central and
Southern California.
Over 200 will be aboard the special
train.
Corcoran is the objective point, as the
corner stone of the million dollar sugar
factory will be laid there by Mayor A. C.
Harper.
Earlier in the day Visalia will be visit
ed to inspect the company's sugar fac
tory there.
Some 1000 acres of sugar beets were
sown to supply beets to this factory for
it's first seasons run.
Owing to the destruction of machinery
and material In the San Francisco fire,
and to the very great scarcity of labor
prevailing throughout the period of the
construction of the Visalia plant, it was
not completed to point where the manu-
facture OF sugar was practicable until
September 1906. Consequently q great
quantity of beets that had been harvest
ed and delivered could not be used for
The manufacture of sugar, but were sliced
and the pulp was utilized for stock feed,
although at considerable loss to the COM
pany. However, on a very short run of
beets harvested at the seasons end, a
considera BILE quantity of white sugar was
made, and a great quantity of molasses
was stored for use during the next sea-
son. This season the output ran into the
thousands of bags
The outhern Pacific railroad runs from
Hanford through Visalia to Porterville
and thence back to the main line at a
point in Kern county. The Santa Fe rail-
road runs from Fresno through very
fertile part of Tulare county to Visalia,
and thence onward to Corcoran, where 1t
joins the main line of the Santa Fe that
runs from San Francisco through Han
ford and an intervening very fertile
stretch of territory to Corcoran and
Bakersfield, and thence to the east.
The recently established town of Cor
coran is an important point in Kings
county situated in the northwesterly end
of Tulare lake, the largest body of fresh
water In California
In the spring of 1904 the Pacific Sugar
company began the erection at Visalia of
q beet sugar manufacturing plant of a
daily capacity of 400 tons; also the Cor
coran plant. which is an extension of the
Visalia enterprise on a larger scale and
ritory.
The trade evangels will return from the
San joaquin valley Tuesday.

The LordIy Transfers
1.-THE other day 1 was on a car with
fifty-eight people riding behind a teams
ter who stayed on the track with his
wagon from First and Los Angeles streets
to the Westminster hotel.
Three times the motorman asked him
to turn out his team so that the carload
of people would not be delayed. Did a
policeman arrest that man? Was law
found for that? Not much.
1.-THE yellow journals have preached to
the teamsters that they own the streets
as much as the rich corporations and as
a consequence fifty-eight people lost time
and patience until that teamster got good
and ready to turn out.
Down in Texas when teamster or
any one else obstructs a load of passen-
gers unnecessarily he goes to Jail for it.
Don't we go on the broad democratic
principle that the greatest good should
be to the greatest number2
why don't the prosecuting attorneys
enforce that ordinance?
Huntington a Spender
"And they say that Mr.. Huntington
takes away the money he makes here.
Does he? Mr.. Huntington puts into his
system the money he raises through bonds
that he sells in the east. He puts his own
and eastern money back into the lines
here
''And I want to tell you he has almost
reached the limit
HE has told us to quit new work and
await results.
IF the people want the service they
had years ago 1t may come.
eff they think he has made mistake
in building a magnificent terminal depot
in the heart of the city perhaps these
terminals can be- abandoned and the
building converted into a business struc-
ture.
IT hope this won't be regarded as
threat We seek cooperation with the
the politicians, but the people.
"Why, the other day a delegation from
Santa Ana told me that law would
be passed there abolishing air brakes and
the restoration of the old
hand brakes, alleging that cars with air
brakes slip.
such is the outcome of the theory
that every city through which our cars
pass can regulate the service.
Where would be get any return for
our Investments
'Mr. Huntington has invested s50,0O0,00o
of his own, his friends and relatives
money and has caused as much more to be
invested in Southern California by peop-
pie who erected homes and established
their business near the Huntington lines.
I'm the words of the president Give us
a square deal.'

Glover, son of Mrs. Eddy, founder of

given out dor publication statement
relative to the dismissal of suit brought
by himself and others against Calvin
Frye and others.
The statement says in part:
1T is disclosed that Mrs. Eddy was
worth over a million dollars when it
had been claimed that she was worth
only $4,000. Five days after the suit
was brought she was constrained to
put substantially all her property into
the hands of three trustees. That reso-
luton was enough. 1 stand ready to
defend the rights of my mother and
my rights as her only child and heir
For the present l am satisfied with hav-
ing forced the execution of the trust
deed which has taken the control of
the property out of the hands of men
in whom have no confidence.
MY only regret is that my mother
is to be kept by them a.virtual prisoner
in her own house during the remainder
of her life. This feeling is embittered
by the fact that while in Concord my
brother and 1 were not permitted to
see her unless we agreed to conditions
which our sense of honor rendered inn
possible"

STANDARD STAIRS

There are still some directions. says
the Lancet, in which the need Of q
standard Is urgent The desirahility. for
example, OF standardizing the steps OF
all staircases IS seen in the fact that
so often a fall on the staircase is due
to the irregularity Ia the height OF the
steps.
A common cause OF accident is the
Kicking OF the edge OF a stair when as
cending. In descending also an irregu-
larity In one step may easily upsetrth
equilibrium Of a person. To the aged
and infirm the descent Of an irregularIy
stepped staircase is a source of terror
Yet how many staiEcas@s are con-
structed absolutely alike as regards the
height OF the steps2 We should say very
few. and not only Is there little unl-
fOrmity existing between different stair
cases, hut the steps themselves in the
same staircase are often irregular. The
periis Of an ordinary ladder would be
enormously increased If the rungs were
placed at irregular intervals.
