In a late number of ths Pheenix
 Gazette communication was published
 purporting to be written from Y4nma and signed c. s. B. The letter is re- markable production, its main features being untruthful and malicious. The statement that the greater portion of this county is covered by a 'land
 grant," is false. The assertion that the town of Yuma is in like position, is untrue. In fact the letter is one mass of inaccuracies and 1t does not seem possible that we have man in our midst who wcx3d- write such a conmqnication, which is bound to in jpre this prosperous and rapidly grow ing section. If the writer does live in this County it behooves our citizens to discover hlhT as such. letters are a curse to the interests of Yuma county. The "severalland grants" that ''G. s. L. writes of exist onlyin the fevered and diseased imagination of some malacious person or chronic kicker. The letter would. have been comm ented upon sooAer,. but as we receive the Gdzett. only bi-monthly it could be done only at this late day and we sincerely hope that G. $. B. will give Yuma County

BCxWoOd,

The charming and valuable little evergreen tree, whose wood is essential to the engravers' art, the ebony of the temperate zone, and the favorlte of cabinetmakers, is tree that Arizo nians ought to plant. It makes at the utmost a tree of not more than thirty feet in height and IS growth is prover bially slow. Still, there is profit in the wood. Circassia and Georgia were the home of the box, and as the tree was carried over Europe, all objects that were first made of boxwood took their names from the tree, and so we can trace its wanderings through philology. The box is propagated by seeds5 cut tings and layers.

THE BEET SUGAR ENTERPRrsE

Farmers among the rocky caVerns and
barren hill slopes of the New England
states make a good living, and many of
them acquire a competency off a few
acres Of So called lands, while a farmer of
the west does no better tiiling 100 acres
of the most productive land on earth.
This is because the vast populous centers
with their many manufactures aud
hundreds Of thousands depend on the
farmer for bread stuffs. The New Eng.
land farmer has right at his door a ready
market for every bJnch Of lettuce, every
onion, every tomato, every pea pod he can
raise. OF this kind Of stuff the western
farmer can grow more abundantly than his
New England brother, but must let all go
to waste except what his family can use,
because he can not ship it east. He is
compelled to raise what can be shipped to
the pepulous centers-such as meat AID
grain.
Therefore all admit that the farmer is
more prosperous with local markets for his
prodice. We want, consequently. manu-
factories. But We cannot make chairs and
stoves conveniently where the raw material
must be shipped IN. Western capital is
casting about for manufacturing enter
prises that can win in q prairie Country.
The following Washington special to the
Sioux City Journal is suggestive:
"Al Ledeiman, representing the board
Of trade, of Grand Island, Neb.. is in the
city. Mr.. LedGimaa is on bis way home
from Canada, where he purchased a beet
sugar plant which is to be erected at
Grand Island. A compsny has been
formed with capital of $500 900, and 1000
acres OF land have been secured on which
the experiment of manufacturing sugar
from beet roots will be tried in Nebraska.
The plant which has been secured is Of
German and French manufacture 1t is
said that the quality of the soil in the
valley around Grand Island is of such a
Character as TO warrent the belief that an
enormous production OF sugar beets can
be secured, Beet culture, according to
the experts. must be carried out ia sys-
tematic manner. Not only must great
care be exercised in selecting and sowing
the seed, but the crop must by alternated.
Fifteen hundred acres will, in all proba-
bility, be planted this year and next year
the remainder of the tract which has been
secured. Then every other year the al
tsraete half will be sown to beets. Mr..
Ledeiman thinks that the enterprise will
prove successful and profitable. He says
that the Nebraska men that are ct the
head of the scheme mean to give it a
thorough test, They hope to build up an
industry on the banks of the Missouri
which will prove Of enormous benefit to
the entire west and perhaps lead to an ex-
teusion of the sugar producing industry in
direction that has not get been attempt
cd to any great extent in this country"

the first time in the history Of the country
(Mr. Clay) the Presidential candidate
stumped the country in his own bshalf.
Nr. Blaine also presented his claims in
person forty years afterward.
Mr. Clay and Mr.. Blaine were each de-
feated at last by silly prejudice. Ia the
case Of Clay it was wave Of anti Masonry
too late TO be subdued. II was the foolish
ALTERATION, Rum, Ronanism and Rebel
lion, that defeated Mr.. Blaine In both
cases New York was the pivot
The President elect in 1874 was up like
rocket and down like astick. The loss
OF his best adviser left him at the mercy
Of his own ineficiency, and he disgusted
even his own party.
The President elect Of 1884 has also lost
his right hand man, Daniel Manning.
In lsis Mr. Clay was the candidate Of
his party, but the choice fell upon pop-
ular man, who had nothing but military
history and handle to his name, General
(Zaek) Taylor.
Mr.. Blaine will fall as did Mr.. Clay and
General "Phil" Sheridan will be the next
