plague Of vOles or field mice. which
have effected much havoc amongst

cooperation exists between employer

ular and progressive institution. A
telegram received yesterday by the
r. M. Owen Company announces that
1910 two-cylinder REQ roadster won
the Star Cup for its class in the recent
Kansas City, Lincoln, Omaha endur-
ance run. The five days car-smash-

over some of the toughest roads in
Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas, while
the rules governing the contest were
among the most severe on cars and

already long list of sensational VIC

confirm the enthusiasm of the 25,00C

MAN ACCUSED OF FORGERY
FOUND TO BE NOT GUILTY
Jury in Nevada Acquits WelIs-Fargo
Agent Who Shipped "a
Bullion

RENO, New, May 1S.-A jury in
the United States district court at
Carson City refused today to return
a verdict of guilty against George c..
Waite, formerly WellsFargo agent
there, charged with forgery, for having
sent bar of bullion to the United
States mint at San Francisco under
an assumed name, receiving a check
for the same and indorsing it with
the assumed name which, he had given
to the mint authorities.
The case was without precedent, as
the bullion was the property of Waite
and the government simply sought to
convict him on the forgery charge for
making use of the assumed name and
affixing it to a government receipt.
The federal authorities charged that
as the assumed name was not right
fully Waite's, he committed forgery
when he affixed it to the check sent
him in exchange for the bullion.
Attorneys for the defendant con-
tended that he had adopted that name
for the occasion, and was entitled to
sign it to the government voucher. The
Jury refusing to believe he was guilty
of forgery, first decided to return
verdict of not guilty, and then con-
cluded to disagree.

SOUTH CALIFORNIA
IS TO HAVE FOURTH
SUGAR BEET FACTORY
TO START LATEST ENTERPRISE
AT SAN JACINTO
New Plant Represents investment OF
One Million Dollars, Most of Which
Is Already Subscribed in
the East

Southern California is to have an
other beet sugar factory, which will
make a total of four big plants, with
an aggregate capacity of 45OO tons OF
beets a day. all grown on lands adJa-
cent to the factories.
The new plant, which represents an
investment of about $1,OOO,OOO land and
all included, will be located at San
.Jacinto. Cal W. T. Hayhurst, presi-
dent of the company; t. w. Haas, vice
president. and Secretary Showalter
went to San Jacinto yesterday to close
the deal for the site and about 5000
acres of beet land. They are operating
through Roy Malone, land dealer OF
San Jacinto.
The new sugar beet plant will cost
about $75O,000 complete, and will have
capacity of 500 tons of beets per day.
1t was only after looking over the en-
tire beet growing section of the state
that Mr.. HayhuTst selected the San
Jacinto site. The 5000 acres of beet
lands which he will Immediately be-
gin to cultivate have been tested for
Welding this saccharine vegetable.
Part of it is uplands, where the beets
are much sweeter but less prolific. The
lowlands will yield a greater tonnage,
but not more sugar. There are 10000
acres of fine beet lands in the San
Jacinto valley available. The company
will use the dry farming process, espe-
cially in the uplands.
Capital Is Eastern
San Jacinto is located about thirty
miles southeast of Riverside. on the
Santa Fe road, being the terminus OF
the San Jacinto branch of that line
The beet sugar company was organ
lied about ten months ago and between
100000 and 100000 of the stock has
been placed at par There is available
now all the ready cash that is needed
to install the plant and equip the farm.
In the course of two --earS the plant
will probably be doubled.
Mr.. Hayburst. the president of the
company, is president of the Beet Grow
ers' association of California, and the
largest individual beet grower in the
state. Mr.. Haas and Mr.. Showalter
have been eminently successful in grow
ing sugar beets in Wisconsin. and as
sisted Mr.. Hayburst materially in
financing the beet farm. Most of the
capital involved is eastern.
The contracts entered into call for the
completion of the sugar factor within
two years. Planting will start in the
fall of 1910, and beets for the factory
will be ready the following spring. The
beets from the upper land will come in
early, and those from the lower land
will come in late, so that the factory
will have stock on hand at all times
for manufacture.
The other beet sugar factories in the
state are located near this city, the
largest being at Oxnard. The other two
are at Los Alamitos and Chino.
