THE BALTIMORE PURCHASE
Of HAWAIIAN SUGAR FACTORS

BALTIMORE, December 22.-After
an examination of conditions sur
rounding all the Atlantic and Gulf cit
les, announcement was made today
that the Sugar Factors Co., Limited,
Of the Territory of Hawaii has pur-
chased about twenty-five acres Of
riverfront land near the city, and it is
likely that a sugar refinery will be To-
Gated there by the concern. The state
ment:
THE Sugar Factors Co., Limited, o.
the Territory of Hawaii, has purchased
about twenty-five acres of the Wagner
Point riverfront property in Anne
Arundel County, which is suitable as
sugar refinery site The owners of the
property do not know when they Will
build a refinery on this property.
Hawaiian plantations which pro-
duced 425, 1000 long tons in 1911 ship
ped and sold their raw sugar through
the Sugar Factors Co., Limited; about
10000 tons of this were sold to the
California & Hawaiian Sugar Refining
Co.'S refinery on San Francisco Bay.
The remainder, 2SS,OOO long tons, we're
sold to Atlantic Coast refineries. The
total production of the islands in 1911
was 5O6,O9O long tons. The Hawaiian
planters are Independent of any rein
ing interest in the United States.
This site was selected after an eX-
haustive examination of all the Allan
tice and Gulf cities as the proper and
most suitable point for distributing
their sugar, Should circumstances ever
permit this"

An analysis of the reports of sani-
tary inspectors showing the work done
since November 8, 1911, when the mos.
quito compaign was started, to the13th
of the present month, shows that a
total of 309,574 inspections were made
These inspections include house gut
tiers, street cutters, standing water,
cesspools, privy vaults, holes and low
places, catch basins, leaky fixtures, ba-
nanas and other plants, swamps,
ponds, troughs, tanks, tubs and other
receptacles, tin cans, bottles, ETC.,
water barrels, and vacant houses.
During the first month of the work
about twelve miles of bitches were
dug, and 5000 holes filled in trees. A
total of 26,129 banana and other plants
were inspected, and 205,59O tin cans
and bottles were collected.
Much Inspection.
Since the beginning of the work, H.
829 house cutters, 14,060 cesspools,
privy vaults and catch basins, and e.
1873 water barrels were inspected; mos
quito larvae were found in many Of
these places. Up to the 18th Of lin
uary the employees of the Board OF
Health had filled with cement 1892
holes in trees.
According to the reports, about $780,
900 tin cans and bottles have been col
lected, which does not include the
much larger number gathered ZAP by
individual householders. Many of
these tin cans and bottles still remain
along the sides of the roads and
streets in the outlying districts, and
unless they are soon gathered up by
the garbage department the work al
ready done in collecting and 9iiing
them in heaps will have to be done
over again, as they are already becom-
ing scattered and are still in condi-
ton to furnish breeding places for
mosquito larvae.

The bandit wore a light colored soft

Rhein says he was forced by the
robber to look away during the time
that the mail was being rined, and at
no time did he see the bandit take
piece of mail. Warner noticed just
before the train pulled into Redding
that the robber took from his pocket
an open.faced gold watch, which he
wore with a fob. Rhein says the
man did not wear a white collar, as he
was first described but wore a light
soft shirt with a dark four-in-hand
necktie.

SAN FRANCISCO, January s.

gagged in competition with the Gulf
states and ports for one of the rich
est industrial prizes in the possession
of the United States.
1t is nothing less than the $25,OOO,-
900 cotton trade of the Orient, and to
win this involves the setting out and
seeding of vast acreages in the I'm
perial, San Joaquin and Sacramento
valleys for the raising of such cotton
as the Imperial valley has already
demonstrated California can grow,
and which, in the opinion of experts,
is far superior in quality to the cot
ton raised in the Southern states.
The Chamber of Commerce of this
city is to be one of the leaders in tine

the front in recognizing the superior
quality of cotton grown in this state
and with the Chinese revolution near
ing a probable termination, the Orient
is going to demand more and more
cotton from the United States annu-
ally, according to those familiar with
the situation.
After Larger Contracts.
For this reason, efforts are to be
made shortly to secure larger con-
tracts for the California product, and,
that California may be able to sat.

of exploitation, intended to attract
cotton growers to the state and there.
by extend the cotton-feld acreage,
will soon be started. The bane of
cotton-growing in the South is frost,
the faintest nip of freezing weather
stopping the development.
This phase of cotton-raising is not
existent in the California valleys, and
that is one of the reasons why the
average production of cotton per acre
in California is practically double that
of the Southern states, and one Of
the reasons why California is begin
ming to loom up as the most attract

In the Imperial valley, where thou
sands of acres of cotton blossom and
bloom, the gross proceeds per acre
on cotton alone have been sos. To
this the value of 1000 pounds Of cot
ton seed at S15 a ton is added, max
ing the satisfactory return Of approx
imately $40, which, less the cost al

leaves a net profit of $40 an acre.
