wind shifted a bit TO the southwark. requiring
the removal OF the spnnakers. The Navahoe

two not having sailed the same course the
others and about 1910 they squared away on
course FOR Point judith. and set their spin
makers to starboard. AS soon as they got dead
before the wind the Vigilant began to show her
old style IN this direction. In the old Valkyre
times IL was said OF her that she could go down
the wind as fast as thistleblossom. She
now began steadily to overhaul the Carroll
sloop. and at 1890 succeeded In taking the lead.
There were many among the yachtsmen OF the

the Vigilant to beat the Navahoe but the fact
was that the older boat was sailing at a mag

IAN enterprise has been started to build a
factory at Roswell, seventy-fve miles north
OF Eddy. with a capacity Of one hundred thou
sand tons OF beets per annum. The beets needed
for this factory would give the farmers Of the
vicinity $4,000 a year In cash The labor re-
ouired in the factory would be at least SlJO.OOo
per annum There is nothing In the agricultural
line which can add so much to the prohts OF the
farmers and to the welfare of a community In
general as a beet-sugar factory, and look for
the development OF this industry under the
present tariff very rapidly. As to the effect
upon the American Sugar Refining Company
Sugar TrusO in my opinion many or the new
beet-sugar factories will find 1t to their ad-
vantage TO make sugars instead or re-
fined and sell them to the trust or other re-
fineries Certainly this will be the case where
beet sugar factories are situated so as to reach
rehneries without paying excessive frelgnt
rates The Pecos Valley factories VIII probably
ship their products OF raw sugar to the re-
Aneries Of the American Sugar Company In New

its product Is cents a hundred pounds within

the present price Of 81 60 for glucose be main

representing interests social. p'usical,
churchly and military The production
is an illustrated musical spectacular re-

The central figure of the representa- ton
is Luther famous trial ut Worms. The
