were rocky and steep Much of the food stored in the boats had been spoiled by wetting and had to be abandoned. From this point Arnold sent two Indian messen- gers to Canada, one to a friendly citizen and one to Gen. Schuyler. The first be- trayed his trust and delivered letter to the British authorities and the other failed to reach Schuyler.
 For sixty miles farther the Kennebec was followed, and then it was necessary to break away and cross over the highlands to Dead river. The carrying place here was about twelve miles long, but two or three small ponds shortened the distance some- what, and in some places oxen could be used. The men, however, had to travel with heavy burdens, and the way was cut up by ravines, swamps, rocky places and tangled thickets. On the ponds the men propelled the boats by oars or poles, and sometimes waded to their armpts and hauled at them with ropes Between the ponds everything had to be carried. On reaching Dead river Arnold reviewed the situation. He had 95O sound men left and provisions for twenty-five days. He ex. pected to reach French settlements on the Chaudiere in ten days if fortune favored
 
 shelter the sick soldiers that had to be left behind and the expedition pushed on up Dead river. For some distance the jour ney progressed favorably, but on the 23d of October terrific rainstorm came on in the night while the soldiers were encamped in a valley near the river The stream overflowed. rising eight feet in Q few hours, and it was with great difficulty that hinar xxvaa gauaH nd once more. The course of the channel was obliterated by the flood, and in the confu. sion seven boats were overturned and their loads of provisions lost.
 This was looked upon as a serious disas ter, and fell upon the second division, witt which Arnold was travelling at the time Morgan was on ahead with hia rihemen and two divisions, under Lieut.. Co.'s Greene and Enos, were following. Arnold now sent back all his sick, and instructed Greene and Enos to do the same, and to bring forward all their well men with fifteen days provisions All possible haste was urged In these instructions The dis. tance from Dead river to Chaudiere lake was thirty miles, and twelve days pro visions were still on hand. The rain, which began on the 23d, changed to snow and ice, and the Dead river near its source was found to be a series of shallow ponds and marshes. The soldiers with Arnold labored faithfully and dragged or pushed their boats through, reached the highlands between New England and Canada, and after an other portage of four miles came to Me gantic lake, the source of the Chaudiere. One half of the journey had been accom-. plished.
 About this time Arnold was joined by two small bodies of scouts that hsd ex- plored the wilderness ia advance of the column and sounded the feelings of the French settlers on the Chaudiere. The

faithful soldiers unabated-such was Ar holds marvellous feat when dispatched by Washington to aid Schuyler in his cam paign against Canada in lT75. The plan was to take the shortest cut across country, and the route selected was up the kenne- bee to the highlands, and then down the Chaudiere to the St. Lawrence. The path way was unmarked for long distance, and Arnold's only guide was the journal of an engineer officer who had made the trip fifteen years before. The troops de. tached from the Continental army to ac. company him consisted of ten companies of infantry and three companies of rifle men, numbering all told HOO men. The rifemen were mountaineers from Pennsyl. vania and Virginia, hunters and fighters, skilled in woodcraft and at home in the wilds. Daniel Morgan led the riflemen, and he was hero whose exploits during the revolution would fill volume. The way he happened to be at Cambridge, where Arnold made up his detachment, showed the stuff that was in him. He was farming peacefully in the Shenandoah valley when Lexington and Concord aroused the ardent souls of the yeomanry, and with company of rugged spirits like himself marched all lIc way lO tiV ANNN ioiu NOhoet WI GOO miles, in three weeks.
 Many adventurous young fellows joined the Canada enterprise for the fun of the thing, among them Aaron Burr, a slender youth of twenty. Nearly all of the men were of the restless. energetic class that ga in for novelties dashed with danger and testing human pluck and endurance, and Arnold was fit leader for them in every respect Pluck and boldness he possessed equal to any, and those higher qualities that belong to men of brains and genius. and which the ordinary mind is quick to respect and to bow to, showed themselves in his every feature and every act.
 The expedition started up the Kenneben from Augusta on Sept. g. travelling ia boats specially constructed for the purpose A small reConnoitering party led the way. Morgans rihemen had the van of the col umn and Arnold accompanied them in a canoe. The difficulties of the journey b. gan at the falls of Skowbegan, near Nor ridgewock, for here the boats and supplies had to be carried on the shoulders of the nen a mile and half around.

@ THE ARIZONA SUGAR COMPANY O

f The capital stock of the company il one hundred thousand 100000 shareI of ten ($l0) dollars each.
 One-haf of the capital stock will b, sold in the Territory of Arizona, payabl, in land adapted to the cultivation O sugar beets, sugarcane sorghum and sac charine products at the market price.
 The other half will be sold for cash, a not less than par, for the purpose of pur chasing, importing and erecting machin cry adapted to manufacturing domestic sugar.
 The fifty thousand shares reserved fol the farmers can be paid for at any tim, within five years from the date of tn, organization in land or it's saccharin, productions, such as sugar beets, sugal cane, sorghum, etc., etc., and the sub scribers will be entitled to draw divi dend pro rata on payments made.
 The fifty thousand cash shares mus be fully paid on delivery, and will b, entitled to a full dividend semi-annually
 It is reasonably expected that tho company can declare dividend of 2l per cent per annum on current business and have some land left.
 After the capital stock shall have beer disposed of and one-half fully paid ir cash, the company will be authorized tC issue equal to one-half of the capita stock, bonds secured by mortgage, upor all the property of the company, pay able in twenty years, with interest al the rate of 5 percentum per annum payable semi-annually, for the purpose of devoting the proceeds to the purchase Of land, and for no other purpose; pro vided, always, that these bonds cannot be issued nor a mortgage on the prop erty executed without the approval of 8 majority of the shareholders.
 The Government of the United States offers to pay bounty of two cents per pound or 40 dollars per ton on domestic manufactured sugar, and to admit ire, of duty, until the first day of July. 1892 all machinery required for its manu. facture.
 The Territorial Legislature, at its last session, passed an act exempting all land used in the cultivation of sugar beets. as we'll as the plant and machn' cry employed in the manufacture of do. mestic sugar, from taxation for ten years.
 We imported from foreign countries during the last fiscal year, sugar, mo. lasses, candy and confectionery to the value of $lOl ,293, 1926, or sent away up wards of one hundred million dollars, which can te retained at home by en. couraging the manufacture of domestic sugar.
 The average yield of saccharine matter from sugar beets in France is only per cent, in Germany 10 per cent.
 In California the average yield is l5 per cent.
 It is confidently believed that the soil and sun of Arizrna will yield much larger polarization from sugar beets than France, Germany, California, or any other country and if these premises are correct,the profits willexceed that of any other sugar factory in the United States.

intrepid band. The THE MAINE WILDERNESS Americans marched toward the garrison and cheered Justify, remaining under the range of the guns while Arnold attempted to communicate with the British leader and frighten him into equalization. Gen. Montgomery, who had succeeded Schuyler, was at Montreal seeking a junction with Arnold in order to storm Quebec.
 The commander at Quebec refused to "parley with rebels," and as he also re- fused to venture out of his castle and fight them in open plain Arnold reluctantly re- tired. His soldiers carried but five rounds of ammunition per man, and sudden out burst of salutes and rejoicings in the Brit ish lines announced that heavy re-enforce- ments under Gen. Carleton were at hand. On Dec. l Arnold and Montgomery met twenty miles above Quebec, and then fol lowed their daring but i'll starred assault.
 GEORGE l.. KILMER
Arizona republican., 1891-04-28

The farmers who may subscribe to the stock of the company will have vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of loss and gain as well as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free from taxation forms a safe investment, and that machinery which can be im- ported free of duty and enjoys immu- nity from taxation, is only subject to loss by fire, which can be covered by insurance.
 Land in Arizona will produce at least twenty. tons of sugar beets per acre, twice annually.
 The market price will depend upon the quantity of saccharine. Sugar beets require neither bagging nor storage; but are cash at the mill, and the company might even be able to ad- vance money on unencumbered land de- voted to their cultivation. It is a matter of consequence in some parts of Arizona that sugar beets ex- tract alkali from the soil better than any other production.
 After supplying the home market in Arizona with sugar, molasses, confec- tions, etc., transportation is the most serious question, and the smaller bulk the production of the country can be reduced into the better for the producer.
 Sugar will bear transportation better than hay, grain, or ores.
 A sugar mill at some railway depot with capacity of 100 tons per day, at s5 per ton for sugar beets, would be a great benefit to the farmers and mer- chants of Arizona.
 The cooperative system of offering the farmers one-half of the capital stock payable in the productions required for the mill has worked well in Germany and France, and in fact the cooperative system in every country is the out growth of civilization.
 The farmers interest in the company will be guarantee to the nonresident shareholders of a vigilant watch!ulness over the management. and by united ef- fort a staple production may be intro duced in Arizona which will enliven the source of all permanent prosperity AGRICULTURE.
 It is not to be overlooked that after the saccharine matter is extracted from sugar beets the residium forms excellent food for sheep, cattle, hogs, poultry, etc., and nothing that comes from the soil is wasted.
 The cultivation of sugar beets may be carried on by the least intelligent labor. Indians, Mexicans, children may all be employed in transplanting the beets and gathering the crop. Only the mill re- quires intelligent labor.
 Sugar industries are being started in many States of the Union less adapted by nature to the growth of saccharine products than Arizona, and an effort on the part of the residents may encourage assistance from abroad.
