SUGGESTIVE FIGURES.
Few people realize the immensity of
the beet sugar interest in the immediate
perspective in Southern California. The
government bounty of two cents a pound
on domestic production is the real in
centive to the prosecution of this speci
alty with energy and success. Take, for
instance, the Chino beet sugar experi
ment. This year, on the Chino ranch,
some three thousand acres will be set
out in the sugar beet. In the immedi
ate neighborhood of the Chino, there
will be a thousand additional acres.
Those who are most competent to make
an intelligent estimate say that the yield
of the beet in this section of Southern
California will amount to twenty tons
to the acre. These figures look extrava
gant, and they would be in any other
quarter of the United States, but here
they are not in any sense extreme.
This estimate would give eighty thou
sand tons of beets as the total outcome
of tbe Chino country and its vicinity
this year. By experiments made by
those interested in the new industry the
beet of this section of Southern
California will yield, at the least,
eighteen per cent, sugar. In other
words, these eighty thousand tons of
beets will yield upwards of thirteen
thousand tons of sugar. The govern
ment bounty alone on this showing will
be $520,000. This is at the rate of $130
an acre from the federal bounty, to say
nothing about what the sugar will sell
lor. Putting the price of sugar at only
two cents a pound—the sum given as a
bounty—we find that the net returns
from this four thousand acres would be
$1,040,000, or at the rate of $260 to the
acre. i
The total cost of the Chino plant, with
all its expensive imported machinery,
will be only $600,000. Nothing is more
certain than that this entire outlay will
be more than reimbursed in the first
year.
It is not surprising that, under the
circumstances, there is a great move
ment for the cultivation of the sugar
beet in Los Angeles and the adjoining
southern counties. A Chicago cap
italist, connected with the firm of
Rand, McNally& Co., on learning of the
great profits incident to this business,
has announced it to be his pur
pose to start another beet sugar
manufactory in this neighborhood.
There is nothing at all extraordinary in
this. The vineyards of Europe yield
about one ton of grapes to the three or
four common to the vineyards of Cali
fornia. Our soil is specially rich in
saccharine constituents. There will be
the same disproportion in our favor in
the yield of the sugar beet, as compared
with the sugar farms of Germany and
France, that there is in that of the grape.
The bounty of the government gives
atability to the industry, and there is no
earthly reason why Southern California
should not reap a rich harvest from
an agricultural experiment to which
this region is so happily adapted.
Amonoht the many works calculated
to bring Southern California prominent
ly before the people is The San Gabriel
Valley, the Heart of Southern Califor
nia, which was issued by the enterpris
ing citizens of that place as a souvenir
of the Southern California orange carni
val, which was recently held at Chicago.
It is prefaced by a poem of A. T. Haw
ley, whom old Angeleiios will remember,
entitled San Gabriel Mission Bells,
and is rounded up by a short description
ot the valley, from the pen of Mr. James
M. Tiernan. Ten thousand copies of
this publication were issued and distrib
uted at Chicago. The old mission was
founded in 1771. In passing it may
be well to mention the fact that in 1870
the Archduke Ludwig Salvator, the
nephew of the emperor of Austria, spent
some months incognito in Los Angeles.
When he returned to Vienna he issued
from the imperial press a beautiful
volume illustrated with sketches from
his own pencil, prominent amongst
which was an illustration of the oid
Mission. This souvenir brochure is
also ornamented with a cut of this
venerable structure. The editor, in
summarizing the claims of this exquisite
region, indulges the following just re
marks :
In fertility, too, this favored valley
excels; a signal proof of this is the fact
that, whilst all the missions of Califor
nia were started on an equality, each
being entirely dependent upon its own
resources and those of the surrounding
country, the San Gabriel Mission soon
became by far the richest of them all.
, Here nature is met with in her kindest
mood. She makes no stubborn fight to
withhold her treasures, but rather yields
up her riches abundantly to gentle
persuasion; whilst, in addition, the
abundant supply of water, the depth of
soil, and freedom from wind and storm,
all unite to make this spot a veritable
Garden of Eden.
Nothing in the power of tongue or
pen is too good to say of the matchlesß
San Gabriel valley. The scriptural
Eschol and the Vale of Cashmere could
not have surpassed if they equaled this
delightful epot, even with the flowery
poetry of Moore thrown in as to the lat
ter region of enchantment.
BLAINE AS A DIPLOMATIC THIMBLE
RIGGER.
There are wheels within wheels, and
this sort of intricate machinery is well
illustrated by the Harrison administra
tion. We are told that this public func
tionary is determined to appropriate
some of the triumphs of this "grand
administration" to himself. The Her
ald would beg to intimate that it would
require a ninety million magnifying
glass, of "double hextra power," to em
ploy the earnest and eloquent language
of Samuel Weller, to discover anything
like "grandeur" in this administration.
To the man whose impressions of mat
ters and things are regulated by
common sense, it would seem that
we have a sort of cheese paring
administration—one in which the Amer
ican eagle is made to take on a rather
dyspeptic and enfeebled look. When
Thomas Francis Bayard was secretary of
I state for the United States, under Mr.
| Cleveland's administration, there was a
; quite general impression that he lacked
vigor, and was rather disposed to give
the tuaviter iv modo undue, prominence
jin his intercourse with the British
embassy. We confess that we
slightly shared that impression our
selves. But what a lion-hearted
diplomat was Bayard as compared
with the great Jingo secretary of state
of the Harrison regime t Here we have
it announced that this year the Bering
sea is to be a mare ciau»um, and that not
even the Alaska Fur Seal company is to
be allowed to take a seal. Of course,
this is a very diaphanous covering of a
square back down. No such concession
could ever have been wrung from Mr.
Bayard, notwithstanding his pleasant
and courtly intercourse with the British
embassy at Washington. The whole
thing looks very much like a preliminary
to a dead crawfishing on the Bering sea
question. We are told that this
action ot the American govern
ment is traceable to the direct
initiative of Mr. Harrison himself, who
desires to cut a figure in this "grand
administration." This may or may not
be. Blame was expected to do a great
deal of roaring by his special admirers
whenever an opportunity presented
itself of twisting the tail of the British
lion. He was supposed to be the mod
ern embodiment of Bottom the Weaver,
who asked to be cast in the lion's part
because he could roar. And, lo and
behold! we find the Plumed Knight
roaring as gently as any sucking dove.
This surprises no one who is
really familiar with Blame's career.
When he was President Garfield's secre
tary of state he showed himself to be
! the moat timid of all diplomatists ; and,
to the surprise of those Irish Americans
who were disposed to take stock in him,
he allowed Irish American citizens to
languish in British prisons without mak
ing anything that could in common
courtesy be called a protest. And there
they languished until President Cleve
land came into power, and interposed a
peremptory protest which secured
their release. Perhaps the most sen
sational surprise in our later po
litical history is the tameness of our
Jingo secretary of state when he is
placed iv the exact position in which
he could begin to twist tiie tail of the
British lion aforesaid. He instantly be
comes as mild as mils. The angry
frown disappears from bia brow, the dis
sonance from his voice, and he emerges
as mild a mannered man as ever scut
tled ship or cut a throat. Verily, the
unexpected ia alwaya sure to happen to
those misguided admirera who think
that James G. Blame is anything but
what he is, viz., a most consummate
actor.
The Taxpayers' Protective association
ought to be strengthened and energized.
In this movement there is the nucleus
of much good to the people of this city
and county. The attempt of the board
of supervisors to browbeat Mr. Edgar
Moore, the expert, should not be al
lowed to stop the investigation. It
should rather stimulate our citizens to
earnest and united labor. What has
become of the prodigious sums raised by
taxation in this county? Will anybody
pretend that we have either roads or
bridges, or anything to show for these
prodigal outlays ? Where have all these
imperial sumsgone? And echo answers,
"where?" An admission of gross irreg
ularity in the drawing of warrants has
been made by the board. Keep up the
good work and make it effective.
In all probability if the taxpayers of
Los Angeles county had understood that
an incident of a Republican ascendancy
would be the prominence given to one
Aaron Smith, there would have been no
Republican ascendancy. The fact that
this individual can be made a public
issue will undermine and blow up, so to
speak, any party or board that identifies
itself with him. There are entirely too
many supernumeraries about the court
house, and the most offensive of them
all is this man Smith. Down with the
official parasite! Blessed be the man
who introduces a new vedolia cardinalis
to rid us of the political white scale.
The work of the coming Columbian
exposition is being systematized. Hon.
L. J. Rose has been assigned to the
charge of the wine and horse depart
ments of the California exhibits. It
would have been difficult to have made
a better selection. What Mr. Rose does
not understand about these specialties
there is no use of any one else trying to
learn.
The crop reports from Southern Cali
fornia are most encouraging. Ventura
and San Luis Obispo counties report a
promise of the largest yields ever re
corded. Los Angeles county may be put
in the same category, and with special
emphasis.
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD- THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 7, 1891..
The report of the New Orleans grand
jury is evidently not partial to the
Mafia, and the majority of the press of
the United States quite as evidently
stand in with the grand jury. One very
strong point is made in that document,
and that is that the books of the Italian
consul at New Orleans show that eleven
hundred Italian convicts and suspects
have beenianded in the Crescent City
in the past few years. This is a circum
stance that the Marquis Rudini ought
to be made acquainted with with all
due particularity and dispatch. It has
a very powerful if oblique bearing upon
the riot.
A correspondent in other columns
takes a sensible view of the widening of
Los Angeles street. He believes in
invoking the aid of the courts to protect
property holders. This is square, sensi
ble talk. There is no warrant by which
a city council can confiscate a man's
property. The process known as an
injunction lies as against any measure
confessedly oppressive and unjust. Mr.
Burnett and the other property holders
ought to stand by their rights and fight
the spoliators to the bitter end.

GOT OFF EASY.
Captain Verney Sentenced One Year on
A Plea of Guilty.
London, May 6.—Captain Verney,
member of parliament, today pleaded
not guilty to the charge of procuring a
governess, Miss Ueckett, for im
moral purposes, but pleaded
guilty to a conspiracy to pro
cure her. Captain Verney was then
sentenced to one year's imprisonment,
without hard labor. During the trial
the court was packed with people eager
to witness the sensations of the case.
Captain Verney, though downcast in ap
pearance, pleaded in a firm voice.
Counsel for the defense in his plea for
' the prisoner, alluded to the prisoner's
distinguished services in the Crimea
and iv parliament, and undoubt
edly won sympathy for the dis
graced ex-naval officer. The recorder
in sentencing Captain Verney, said he
had come to the conclusion,through th?
evidence given, that the case of Miss
Nellie Beckett was not the only case of
procuration in which the Captain had
been implicated, and there/ore he could
not lean towards the side of mercy so
! much as he could have done had it been
an isolated case.

A NEW SWINDLE.
HOW DR. BEAM OF SAN DIEGO WAS
FLEECED.
He Tried to Get Something for Nothing
From the Railroads — But He Is
Swindled by an Expert.
A novel plan to beat the railroads and
make money has been made public
through inquiries at the Oceanic Steam
ship company's office as to the genuine
ness of certain letters requesting free
transportation from Kansas City to Los
Angeles over the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad in favor of Dr. 11. F.
Beam, a former resident of San Diego,
says Tuesday's San Francisco Examiner.
Tlie letters are type-written, dated from
San Francisco and bear a forged sig-
I nature of J. D. Sprockets it Bros,
j They are on what purports to be
I letter blanks of the Oceanic Steamship
I company. The letter heads, however,
are as much forgeries as the body of the
letter and signature, being evidently
printed in the east for use in this swind
ling venture. Dr. Beam has written to
Messrs. Spreckels, inquiring whether
the swindler, whom he calls Jackson,
had turned up ut San Francisco, He
had represented himself to be an officer
of the Oceanic company, traveling upon
credentials issued by Messrs. Spreckels,
and bad induced Dr. Beam to part with
$40 for a free first class jjhss from Pitts
burg to San Francisco, plus a loan of
$25. He had furnished Dr. Beam with
general and special requests for free
transportation in Messrs. Spreckels'
name; but the pass did not materialize,
as the railroad officiate referred the mat
ter to San Francisco and discovered
the forgeries. It ia presumed that
this ingenious swindler has robbed
more than oue individual who was
willing to run risks to secure cheap rail
road transportation ; but it is the duty
of the first passenger agent to whom his
| bogus credentials are exhibited to retain
theno, and hand him over to the au
' tliorities to answer for his fraud. Dr.
Beam appears to have been easily duped,
as he confesses in his letter to Messrs.
Spreckels that in exchange for $40 be
was persuaded to accept a general letter
over their signature, setting out that he
had been for three years a surgeon in
the employ of the Oceanic company,
when, in fact, he had never been in its
employ ; and when thisjletter was found
insufficient he traveled with Jackson
from Chicago to Kansas City, where
he subsequently received a special
letter, purporting to be signed
by Messrs. Spreckels, expressing re
gret that the general one, which recited
a lie, and which was post-dated several
months, had not been found sufficient,
and inclosing a special request for free
transportation for him from Kansas City
to Los Angeles. These letters were sent
to General Passenger Agent Nicholson
at Topeka, with a request that the pass
be forwarded to him at Kansas City,
and when it did not reach him he wrote
to the Oceanic company, telling his
story, and asking that Jackson be made
restore his $66. Jackson, it is needless
to say, has not appeared in the Oceanic
company's office.
