The farmers who may subscribe to the stock of the company will have e vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of loss and gain as we'll as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free from taxation forms 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 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, molssses, 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 $5 per ton for sugar beets, would be 8 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 we'll 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 2 vigilant watchfulness 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, Mexicsns, children may all be employed in trsnsplanting 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.

And iuiy dreaming wandered forth
DER the lcyei stretch OF sand.
And it seemed as paced the yellow plain
Kissed hy the blue Atlantic there,
Like, y picture Of this worlds pleasure and
pain
And OF mans small journey here;
A page for the print of life's progress, made
I,v the agcless sea for the sons OF men
who labor ana delve like the child with his
spade
For the tide to level again.
Here tho 10y builds castles with ramparts
brave,
Daring the storm from bis turrets gay,
And the ocean sends him one laughing wave
And washes them all away
There the youth starts forth and his pride
awake5
AT the thought of az ultrod world to win,
Till he finds that each needless step he takes
Has trodteu its record in.
Then the man cres: This is n wilderncssr'
Sec. he searched the sands for some ves-

Till be found footprint whose way was his,
The small! light step OF woman.
Then look, what u change in their gait and

From weary rudge TO lghtsome spring
AS onward together the smooth sands trace
Their rhythmical journeying.
Here once, it seems for awhile by theirs
The tiny feet of a child ALT,
But a souall must have caught them unawares
And swept them away with it.
Yet forward ever those footsteps 60
Ger furrow and ridge still side by side.
Sometimes falterlng, faint and SLOW,
But always out towards the tide.
Stop! here they severed awhile and look
How they tried, with tears, to blot the trace

But only the sea can eflace.
And at last the Golden bay is crossed
To the ripping margc of The shadowy deep,
And the footprints of their lives are lost
In the oceans purple sleep.
Lost? But is there no further shore,
No new found land of our later faith?
Hare they walled the waves like Peter Of

AFRAID OF CHOLERA.

How Thoughtful Southern Tramp Got
His Longed-For Drink.
81 was making trip through Missis-
sippi during the hot weather of last
month";" said a gray-haired commercial
traveller, as he stretched his legs in an
easy chair in the lobby of the Powers
hotel last night, land brought up for
dinner one day at one of those queer
old-fashioned hotels which can still be
found in many of the southern states.
81 had had hot and dusty ride, and
SO l stepped into the bar-room for a
mint julep before going into dinner.
There was the usual crowd of loungers
always to be found about country

and all wearing the listless look which
characterizes the average southern
cracker.

bar and in husky voice asked for
some brandy. The bartender placed a
bottle before him and the man filled
the glass to the brim. He drained it in

when the bartender reached over and
grasped the bottle with the remark:
This is no distillery. old man. guess

What a Fire Reveals.

The six-story brick building at the
southwest corner of Fulton and Nassau
streets, New York city, once occupied
by the Sun, and lately deserted by the
Commercial Advertiser; was burned
September Is. The property belonged
to the estate of Moses Y. Beach. II
fronted 113 feet 0 inches on Fulton
street and 81 feet 10 inches on Nassau
street After the fire the agent of the
estate told the Sun reporter that the
building was worth about $4,000, and
was insured for s25, 600. The Tribune
placed the loss on building at $50, 600.
According to the city assessment rolls,
completed not many weeks before the
fire, the assessment of this pieco of
property, land and building included,
was $40, 900. If the estimated value Of
the building is correct, the land must
have been assessed at 100000. ~
This piece of property now lies cum
bered with the blackened ruins of the
fire, and reduced to prairie land, save
for whatever value may lie in the dam
aged cellar and it's walls. According
to the Sun, the site of the ruins has
just been sold to Lewis s. Wolff for
1885,, 900. In other words, the land
without the six-story building is worth
to Mr.. Wolff s235, 900 more than land
and building were assessed at for the
purposes of municipal taxation. The
owners have been collecting rent on

not less than $50, 600, and have been
paying taxes on rather less than one.

YESTERDAY IN THE COUNTY COURTS

The final argument in tine mandamus pro-
ceedings of Robert Berry against Controller
Grier, to compel the payment of fees for
holding inquests as Deputy Coroner, took
place yesterday before Judges Collier and
Slagle.
attorneys Moore and Mcfarland appeared
on behalf of Mr.. Berry and Robb and FItz-
simmons for Controller Grier. The argu-
ment was opened by Mr.. Fitzsimmons reading
the answer of the Controller to the mandamus.
He assigns as his reason for refusing to pay the
Deputy Coroner hat the act of 1889, under which
lie was appointed, is a general act and does not
Wy to Allegheny county, which has speclaI
laws
.e act of ls4l, which was re-enacted and
made special to Allegheny county by the act OF
1856 he asserts is the one under which the
Coroner works. He can only deputize Justice
OF the Peace to hold an inquest In his absence,
and Mr.. Berry is not Justice OF tne neace. iOea e
He further maintained that the act of 1889 Is
uncoustit utioual, because IL provides lor pay
ing the Deputy Coroner by fees, whereas the
CONSTITUTION says that in counties having over
l5O. .0OU inhabitants all county ofncers Shall De
paid by salary.
". d. Moore replied on behalf of the Deputy
Coroner. He asserted that fees and salary
were not synonymous, as was shown by the
Constitution and statutes. The term fees"
as used in this case, he said, meant the COM
pensatlon allowed by law for doing the services
named, ana had no relation 70 salary. The act
of 1855 fixing the salary of county officers IN
counties OF over 100000 population, only ap-
plies to those officers who entered on their
duties after the census of 1890 became known,
which was January ], 1891. The other officers
remain under the act OF 1881 The acts of lSo6
and lS4l being special, he claimed, were uncon-
stiIutional
John 5. Robo next spoke for Controller
Grier. He contended that under the act or
1856 only Justice of the peace could be depu-
tized to hold an inquest The Constitution
provides that all county officers shall be paid
by salary. and IN the act of 1881 there is no pro-
VISION for a deputy coroner, and the plain i'm
plicatiou from the provision of the statute is
that there should be no deputy coroner. If
there should be deputy coroners, then their
salaries should ne fixed by the Salary Board
under the act of 1876 as the salaries of deputy
aheriffs are fixed Iu conclusion, he contended
that the act OF 1889 was unconstitutional.
The Court took the papers and reserved de-
cSion.
