Profit in Beet SUGAR.

Richard Grid, the owner Of the Chino
rancho, San Bernardino county, and
principal owner of the enormous beet
sugar factory at Chico, is at the Occi-
dental He says beet sugar making is
a great success. About 100000 worth
of improved machinery, including the
pEecess of extracting sugar from the
beet mOlasses, has recently been put i'll
making the plant cost fully s1,000,000
There are. Mr.. Grid says, 1000 acres
of beets on the Chino ranch and 1900
more in the vicinity. The crop will
amount to about 5000 or 10000 tons
It would have reached 100000 but for
the dry weather. He says there is
money in beet growing. The gross
value per acre of the product of the
beet land is from $50 to $50 and the net
profit from $50 to $40 an acre. Last
year he got i54,090 pounds Of beet seed
from abroad, mostly from France. This
cost $4,000.
There is enough good beet land in
California, from San Francisco south
to supply sugar for the whole world,
said Mr.. Gird. sFhe consumption is IN
creasing fast. Two years ago We used
on this coast $1,000 tons of sugar. We
! are now using 20 pounds to each per
son on the Pacific coast. San Fran

HOLDS THE RECORD.
Wonderful Time Made By Tom horn At

Wonderful Time Made by Tom horn At
Phealx, 4, T., In 1891.
Ia the territories of Arizona and New
Mexico there used to be held as a kind
of annual tournament in August to the
fair or else as a special entertainment,
very often comprising among other
features, horse racing, a bull fight,
bale. and fiesta. Roping contests are
generally held in a large field OF in
closure such as the interior Of a race
course. Inside this compound is built
a small corral, in which are confined
wild beef cattle, usually 3-year- old
steers, Just rounded up off the range.
/ The contest is time race, to see who
can overtake, lass0, throw, and tie hard
and fast the feet Of steer in the
shortest period. The record was made
at Phoenix, A. T., in 1881. The contes-
tants we're Charlie Meadows, Bill Ne

Tom Horn, all we'll known YaqusFos of
the Mexican Arizona border. Tom
Horn won the contest. Time, 49,
seconds, which I do not think has since
been lowered.
Two parallel lines about as far apart
as the ends of a polo court we're mark
ed by banderoles or guidonS. a steer
was let out of the corral and driven at
a Tuu in a direction at right angles to
the lines marked. As the steer crossed
the second line a banderole was drop
ped which was the signal for vaquero
to start from the first line. thus giving
the beef a running start of 80 yards

ing without the touch of the rain-to
follow the steer-often anticipating his
turns by a shorter cut. When the va.
querO got within 80 yards of the beet
the loop of his RATA was swinging in a
sharp, crisp circle about his right arm
raised high to his right and rear, and
when 20 yards closer it shot forth, hoy
cred for an instant, and then decended
above the horns of its victim, which a
moment later would land. a sOmersault.
Before the beef could recover his sur
prise or wind, he would have a halt
hitch about his fOrlegs, a second about
his hindlegs and a third found all four
a snug little bunch, hard and fast.
Tom Horn is we'll known all along

guide, packer, scout and as chief of In.

Driving Our Canital.

Populists claim most diligently that
the interest bearing debts of the United
States are over s30,OOO,OOO,OOO. The in
ferest on this vast sum far exceeds the
total producing power of the United
States at this time, The producing
classes farmers and manufacturers
must eat and be clothed.
How to do this and pay the interest
is a problem.
a problem that means starvation, de-
stitution and misery.
A list of the debts is an interesting
study.
First, as near as the facts can be as
certained the total open accounts of
merchants, manufacturers, etc, amount
to 5l1,0O0,000,000 in round numbers.
By the census of 1890 and POOr's
manual for 1892, the Indebtedness of
the United States was reported as fol
lows:
National, 1891, 96O,1O4
State and municipal, S135, 210,543.
Railway bonds in 1898, S., 463,611,004,
Farm and homo debts, S2,500,000,G00.
Mortgages on realty, street railways,
manufactures ana other like business
enterprises, S., 350,000,000
National bank loans, g, 1853 69,805.
Loans by state, savings and private
banks and trust companies, g, 251, 764,
292.
Total Indebtedness. $50, 1863 ,848, on
which the productive labor of the coun.
try is paying annually an interest
charge of S1,854, 1881.
Every dollar Of debt, whether its
character, is a mortgage on labor until
paid. Plunging cities into debt is folly
and crime. If our people were out of
debt they would be prosperous; in debt
deeply, as they are now, prosperity is
out of the question.
Upon this showing any state, city or
county in the nation that succeeds in
driving out capital is doing itself a
kindness. The interest account is as
large as the producers Of this nation
can stand.-Denver Road.

THEY RODE THE RAPIDS.


Sheriff Hare says that the people Of
Nehalem are beg mining to think that he
lives out that way. During the past
week he has made three trips on ma
portant official business. While making
these trips Mr.. Hare generally rides in
double rig, but there are many places
where he has been compelled to leave
his horses and carriage at q friendly
farm house and foot It eight or ten
miles, as the case may be, to the place
he wishes 10 reach. The other day while
returning from the Hopkins ranch which
IS a good distance above Jewe.l, In COM
pany with Hopkins and another person.
one of the PARTY suggested to ride back
TO Jewell in a canoe. The sheriff was
willing and all three went to the river
bank. The canoe was procured, and
everything was in readiness when Hop
hins backed out, saying that II was too
dangerous an undertaking to ride through
the rapids Of the NeIhalem RIVER In a
small canoe. Seeing that Hopkins could
not be coaxed into making the trip the
other two concluded to attempt i them-
selves. They set out, but before half
the journey was accomplished both wish
ed they had never started. The narrow
escape the frail craft had from being
smashed against the sharp rocks; the
many crooked and sharp turns in the
swdtt running river kept their hair on
end, and when finally they reached
smooth water a happier couple Of men
was never seen. Mr.. Hare says that
having come out safely he was glad of
the experience, but does not feel as II he
would care to try 1t again.
