SALINAS, CAL., Aug. 22,—This has been an important day in the history of Salinas. Three weeks ago to-day Claus Spreckels met the farmers and business men of this valley in mass-meeting here, and made them the grandest offer ever given to a i municipality, viz., that he would erect at Salinas the largest sugar factory in the world—one that would consume 3000 tons of beets every day and turn out 450 tons of refined sugar—and that the only condi- tion he would exact of the people here was to raise the beets necessary to supply such a factory. To supply the beets nec- essary for such a factory requires an acre- age each year of 30,000 acres, and Mr. Spreckels asked that contracts be signed and delivered to him showing tnat the farmers would guarantee that acreage for the ensuing two years. Since that time a committee has been at work securing the necessary contracts from the farmers. The committee has been greatly retarded in this work by the fact that many of our large landholders are out of the State—the largest land- holder, David Jacks, who owns 20,000 acres of beet lands, being in Europe and cou!d not be reached by cable—but notwith- standing these difficulties the committee has worked among tbe smail landholders, who signed contracts readily. To-day an answer had to be given Mr. Spreckels, and & mass-meeting was called to make up the balance of the acreage re- qured. The large pavilion was fillea with farmers anxious that the project should be a success. William Vanderhurst was chairman of the meeting, and speeches were made by Hon. W. J. Hill, Edward Berwick, James_Bardin and others. But the speech of Mr. Bardin was the most practical. He gave a detailed statement of the result of his crop of beets raised on 225 acres. The net yield for the 225 acres was $59 50 per acre. He had paid out $4000 for freight on his beets, which he would have saved had we a factory at Salinas, which would have made his net profit about $77 50 per acre. He clo-ed his address by saying: “Claus Svreckels can get along without the Salinas Valley, but ihe Salinas.Valley cannot get along without Claus Spreck- els.” Great enthusiasm prevailed all through the meeting. As a result contracts for the ensuing two years for the acreage required have been signed and Salinas rejoices over her future. Already people are pouring in here from other sections of the State in search of beet lands, and it isexpected that the population of our town will be doubled within a year, for all of which Salinas owes a vote of thanks to Claus Spreckels, the sugar king and public bene- factor. Excavators in the neighborhood of Gizeh discovered an almost perfect yacht or pleasure vessel, which has been ascribed by experts to the eleventh or twelfth dynasty, or about 3000 years B. C. PYTHIANS AT SANTA MONICA. A Day Spent in Parades, Picnicking and Games, With Dancing in the Evening. SANTA MONICA, CaL., Aug. 22.—To- day was a great one here, at least in a Pythian sense. A big crowd was in at- tendance and every one, from jolly Chan- cellor McGlashan to Adolph, the mascot of the Los Angeles knights, and all the Rathbone Sisters, who, by the way, are a mighty big family, enjoyed the festivities equally with their brothers. At 8:15 A. M. guard mount was held and then there was battalion dritl from 9 to 10 A. M., which was reviewed by Chancellor McGlashan., After dinner there was a grand parade about town. The picnic festivities were interspersed with music, parades, speeches, games and lunch, the last of which was pretty well in evidence all day long. This evening there was more dancing. To-morrow divine services will be held at camp at 9 o’clock. District Deputy Grand Eh.nce.llor, Rev, L M. Merlin Jones, preaching, with music rendered by members of tue order. 2 Mrs. Lydia Monroe, grand chief of the Rathbone Sisters, arrived to-day and was warmly welcomed by both the sisters and brothers. ’ The executive committee of the associa- tion has eight members, as follows: H. R. Arnold, San Diego; Isaac Springer, Pasa- dena; E. J. Flemming, Pomona; Dr. Mc- Kenzie, San Bernardino; J. H. Dorn, Escondido; G. E. Bittinger, Riverside; A. Parsons, Los Angeles. Pacific Lodge, No. 203, elected their dele- gate, Sir Knirht G.atto, to act' on the committee. The flag presented by Pacific Lodge, No. 203, as a E:ize to the best drilled company will be hotly contested for. ———— Simon Corcoran Dies at Vallejo. on Georgia street about a week ago, died this atternoon from the effect of -the in- juries received at the time.

Holden of Lick Observatory sends out the following report of the partial .eclipse of the moon to-night. The observations were made by Projessor C. D. Perrine. Light clouds partially obscured the first contact of the shadow, but they soon cleared away and the sky was clear during the remainder of the eclipse. The first certain darkening by the penumbra was at 8:35. The tirst contact with theshadow was at 9:23:31. The last contact with the shadow was at 12:31:50. The obscured portion of the moon was quite bright, the more promi- nent markings being easily visible. The earth’s ahadow was a copper color near its center, shaded to a somewat greenish tinge at the edges, the penumbra being of a light pink tinge. ————— FLOUR MILL BURNED. Eleven Thousand Sacks of Barley Also Consumed. i MODESTO, Cax., Aug, 22.—Modesto had alarge fire to-duy which completely de- stroyed the Modesto flour mill and 1100 sacks of barley which was awaiting crush- ing. During the temporary absence of the engineer the engine set fire"to a large stack of straw which was used for fuel. The building was a large two-story frame structure and was soon a mass of flames. The firemen devoted their attention to saving the frame strnctures adjoining. The mill was valued at $4000, belonged to W. B. Wood and was not insured. The barley belonged to a number of farmers. The lessee of the mijll was A. D. Willard, and he loses his summer’s work. He had just put the mill in order and expected a MODESTO VALLEJO, CaL.,, Aug. 22,—8imon Cor- coran, a highly esteemed citizen and resi- dent of this vicinity for the past thirty years, and who was thrown from his buggy good season’s work. et gk & Suusalito’s Carnival.
