Sugar and the Eounty.

The sugar bounty has not only st mu-
lated tina product on of beet sugar in
California, but also of cane sugar 10 the
southern states, pecisliy in Louisiana.
The product of that state for tie year
ending June 80 was 452, O63, 627 pounds,
of which only about 22,OO0,OCG pounds
fell below the STANDARD. The bounty
has caused bn increase Of the acreage
and Improvements in processes of
manuf acture. Under the ola process
but about 100 pounds could be ob-
tanned from an acre. but by tie new
process 27iS pounds is the averape. l.
is stated that between 5l5,OC0.02O and
5l5,GJU.0O0 has been expended for new
machinery in the last two years.
The beet industry is making as rapid
progress, though upon narrower basis.
California heads The list IF beet sugar
states, with Neb; aska, Utah and Vir-
glnia in th- order mentioned. The cane
sugar interest and the beet sugar inter
est are practically the same. Both de-
pend upon duty on foreign sugar.
1t remains to be seen whether the
democrats. with their peculiar ideas Of
what cOnduces TO the prosperity Of Il
country, will decide to knock out this
promising industry. - Los Angeles

TIE WEEKS WEATHER.
Ideally Auspioious for the Cattle
and Eruie Rancher.
For the week ending Aug. II. 1898.

For the week ending Aug. II, 1898.
Good rains have fallen 10 all sections
during the week, and the average pre-
c:pitaiion for the entire territory has
probably been considerably above the
normal. The following comparisons in
this connection are given: At Tucson
the normal for the week is seventy
seven hundredths Of an inch, and the
amount that fell wss one and sixteen
bundredths inches. At Yuma the nor.
nal is twelve hundredlhs of an inch
and the amount recorded twenty five
hundredtbs of an inch.
A highly favorable feature Of the
weather since the beginning of he
present rainy season, is that the rains
have occurred at such intervals as to be
of the greatest possible benefit 20 vege
tation, which, with the seasouaole tenn
peratures, high humidity and moderate
sunshine, have combined to make the
past few weeks period of idea auspi-
ciousness.
Reports from all sectin are invar a.
bly, encouraging and gratifying.

Ancient IRRITATION.

The truth Of SoIomon's saying that
There is nothing Few under the sun"
is constantly being verified. II is well
known that the mysterious ancient in
habitants of Arizona had vast systems
of irrigation canals and reservoirs, and
now it appears that they We're &C
quainted with the method Of obtaining
water by submerged dams. While dig
ging in the salt river valley an i'm
mense dam of this character was re-
Gently discovered, extending a distance
Of three and a half miles. 1t is so
well preserved that, aft r thousands OF
years, it still brings the under-dow of
the Salt River TO within d couple OF
feet of the surface, thus causing on
excess of water in that locality which
led to the excavation tn discovered
this work Of ancient times.

Mr.. Tdllm6dge then headed the
horses down stream. They were going
swimmingiy, the wagon floating fairly
we'll. when the wheels on one side struck

water. Screaming and excitement fol-
lowed. Bojorqnez was thrown iuto tie
deeper side and fioated and swan down
stream at a terrific rate. Two or three
hundred yards down he caught a mes

himself up, and escaped.
Meanwhile the 1allmadga family
were having lively times. Mrs. Il IL
adge had been caught IN the harness
and was very sure she was in great dan

however. He also helped out the girl.
They got to shore in safety-tha same

pocket knife.

washing out the gravel there. The ex-
element over the discovery of such a
vast amount has caused rush from

WASHINGTON, Aug. i4.-While the

cations are that the senate will devote

another remedy for the financial stu =
ton, that of permitting natl nal banks
to issue currency to the full par value

REPEAL.

Developments In the senate today
were decidedly discouraging to those
who hoped for the unconditional repeal
of the Sherman law.
The introduction by Senator Voorhees,
Of bill for an increase in the currency
and its reference to the committee OF
which he ls chairman, indicates that the
finance committee will first seek relief
ia recommending the issue of national
bank notes To the par value of bonds
deposited, and that the questions Of
free coinage and repeal of the Sherman
act will be relegated 10 The future for
more leisurely consideration.
Later in the day, when Senator Vest
reafIismed alliance to bimetallism
and spoke against the unconditional re-
peal of the Sherman act, repeating
men found greater cause for disappoiBt-
ment.
Vest then addressed the senate on
his resolution in favor Of bimetaliism
and free coinage of gold and silver, and
declared he would not vote for it's re.
peal without a guarantee for silver as a
money metal.
When the senate met an avalanche Of
Of petitions vera read and referred.
Some prayed for the repesl Of the pur
chasing clause of the Sherman law,
quite as many were against req, al; sew
eral we're for free u-e Of silver rs legal
tender in United States, and some
were for the free coinage of silver at
ratio Of sixteen to one.
Perkins, republican, of California,
made his debut in the senate with the
presentation of various memorials from

tute for the purchasing clause of the

NEW York, Aug. 49, Bradstreets
says: Special telegram and inf rmation
received through the press and trade in
the last few days indicate the likeli-
hood of a crisis in the cotton region,
owing to the liability of banking ipsti-
tutions there to advance the funds
necessary to move tie cotton crop with
anything like the usual freedom. 1t
becomes plain that few, IL any, south
ern banks would, if they could, advance
funds TO cotton buyers to enable the
latter to hold the staple for an advance
in price, and recent disturbances
among southern financial institutions
began to raise question of how the
cOttoncrop Is ID % % " I'd 1t all In
asmuch as 1t costs about S50000,C00 for
gathering and preparing for the ship
ment OF the crop Of 100000 bales, it
becomes plain that the phrase sad
vancing funds TO move the cotton crop"
has real and living mea ing.
A considerable proportion of the
cotton crop is raised by negro tenant
planters and owners of land are ex-
pected To make the necessary advances
to provide for picking. ginning, pressing
and baling. But with southern banks
using clearinghouse certificates, and
IN many instances permitting de-
positOrs TO withdraw only trivial sums
OF money daily, the problem how to
borrow SjO,OO0,G00 or more becomes
serious one. BrGdstreets learns that
arrangement was made yesterday by
the secretary of the treasury in view
of the emergency referred to by which
the government, On the deposit of cur
reDcy at the sub-tre8sury on being adj
vised Of that fact will telegraph the
subtreasury at New Orleans an order
to pay a like sam of money IN silver
dollars. This arrangement will go far
to relieve the financial stringency at
the south with respect to the cotton
crop.
