MONTAUK POINT.

AIontauk Point is a stretch of II 900
acres of hills, plains and valleys, over
which the sea breeZes blows away.
Few people have ever gonethere. 1t is,
in fact, rather out of reach, situated as
it is about 116 miles from New York
1 is a wild bit of country and consid-
cred an ideal place for an army camp.
About 5000 acres of the best land on
-Fthe point is owned by the Montauk
Company, which jealousy guards its
property. There is good hunting, or
was before the army went there, on
the point. But, not strange to say,
few hunters go thither because of its
extreme loneliness and distance from
home places The Long Island Rail
road runs to Montauk Point, and those
who desire to visit their soldier friends
must take that road. The railroad has
done good service in handling the sol
diers. Montauk Point has total pop
ulation of twenty-five, and as many
as five houses built on the extreme
eastern dip of the land

NEW RAILROAD.
Arizona's Latest Line Into the Noun

AriZona's Latest Line Into the Noun
tainS.
President T. NJ. Murphy of the S. F.
p. & p. railroad and of the P. & E.
railroad, with his wife, yesterday en-
tertained about thirty ladies and gent
lemen by giving them an excursion
over the new railroad to the end of the
track. A special train left the depot
at 9 O'Clock in the morning, returning
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon the trip
being most delightful one from start
to finish.
The new road, although only twenty
six miles in length will rival in the
beauty of its scenery the main line
in proportion to its length. From the
place where it leaves the S. F. P & P.
six miles from town the road for about
two miles winds among huge noun
tains of granite rocks, piled up in pro-
miscuOus PROPULSION there While look
ing from the main line one would nat
ura1ly conclude that it would be al
most impossible to build a rail road
through such promote tories of rock, a
ride over the road seems to demon
strate that nature had intended that
railroad should be built through there
some time, as she provided a strip just
about wide enough for the right of way
where it could be constructed at com
paratively small cost and with an easy
grade. At the same time it took an ex
perienced engineer, such as W. A. |
Drake, chief engineer of the S. f. P. |
e 2. railroad to discover natures in |
tentions in the matter Any one riding |
over the road connot but be impressed |
in the selection of the line, through |
what, TO an Inexperienced man, would
look like an impoSsibility.
The scenery over this two mile ride
through the rocks is simply magnifi-
cent, and the echoes of the locomotive
whistle as the sound is thown from
rocky wall to rocker mountain side is
grand and entities it to the name of
Echo canyon. The grade is easy and
the road, where it energies from the
rocks, enters the Lonesome valley plat
eau and has a gentle descent from
here TO Lynx creek, skirting the foot
Nils on the western side of this eX-
ensive valley. *-Journal

GOVERNOR MURPHY.
Arizona's Chief Executive Pays Tue
son a Visit.

1T is four years since l visited your
city" said Governor Murphy when
seen at he San Xavier last evening,
land l note that wonderful changes
have taken place in the appearance of
Tucson, such as your people have just
reason to feel proud of. My visit here
was not planned when I started from
Phoenix as L expected to go to Yuma.
change occurred in my plans and 1
thought I would give day to look at
the old Pueblo and meet many pleas
ant acquaintances; nothing more.''
The Governor though that with Pen
rose as the standard bearer this fall
the republican party would win out
handsomely. He felt that the distur-
Dances which had occurred in the ranks
were now fully healed up and that vic
tory would perch upon the banner of
the party in November. He was salts
fed that Mr.. Penrose would finally con-
sent TO be the party'S candidate for
Delegate.
Governor Murphy said he had ap-
point Miles Archibald of Prescott to
be yard master and gate keeper at the
penitentiary, Ira 2. Smith of PhoeEsssE.
TO be assistant superintendent and that
he had the name of Herbert Brown OF
Tucson under favorable consideration
as the successor of Col J. w. DorrIng
ION, superintendent of that institution.
Mr.. Brown will be notified in all like
lihood this week.
81 shall continue to weed out where
occasion demands" said the Governor
During the day Col. Herring drove
the Governor about the cit and other
prominent gentlemen paid their res
poets.
1t was the intention of Col Martin
to have the First regiment band seren-
naded the Governor but he requested
that no demonstration be made. He
will visit Tucson on the 9Th and meet
with the university board of regents.

Messrs. Lowery and Davidson of the
base line republican club are on the
war path. They gave a party not long

missed their pictures which were
doubtless taken from their gold bound

They suspect two of Mesa's young la

they send their own pictures in return,
marry them or go to Jail. The boys do
not care which horn of the dilema they
accept as revenge in any form will be

A GRAND INDUSTRY.
some Facts Regaring the Beet Sugar
Business.

some Facts Regaring the Beet Sugar
Business.
Reference has been made recently in
the Times to the anxiety felt by those
who are interested in the beet sugar
industry as to the probable effect upon
that industry of the annexation of
SPANS island possessions. the Philip
pines and Cuba, with the consequent
free admission of sugar from those is
lands in increasing the quantities, as
the business would be developed by
American energy and capital.
Only those who have Investigate ted
the subject have Il clear conception of
the vast Importance of this beet sugar
industry in the United States. From
citizen of Los Angeles, who is thor
Oughly well informed on the subject
the Times has obtained some facts
and figures which show in a striking
manner. how great a thing the beet
sugar industry may become in this
country should its development not
be choked by large importa tons of
free sugar from abroad.
Four years ago the consumption of
sugar in the United States was:
Tons. Valued.
Consumption ..2,O24694 $ 2s,s71. $50
Production ..... 305.S0O 2O.2S3. Oh
Importation -. 1.71S.S94 los. 5SS, GAG
Since then the production of Amer
lean sugar was somewhat increased
and the importa ton somewhat de-
creased, although the large consump-
ton has tended to equalize matters.
The following ia bic shows the source
of supply of sugar for the United
States in 1894:

REAL LEADERS IN THE WAR.
William Mckinley.

In the history that will be written
during the middle of the twentieth CEN
fury the first place in American states
manship will be held by three-George
Washington, Abraham Lincoln and
William Mckinley. The prediction
may seem premature but the present
always falls short in its estimation of
the proba Utilities of the future. Like
the other two, he displayed the rare
foresight, sound judgment, adamant
firmness and complete confidence in
the people that are the absolutely ne
ceSSary qualifica tons for the pilot who
guides the nation through critical per-
iodS. His election saved the nation
from Reputation and dishonor; it won
for the nation the admiration and re-
spect of Europe, which it could never
claim before. Like the other two he
was cruelty misjudged and grossly ac-
cuSed; like them he forced the world
to confess that his integrity is with
out flaw, his courage unquestioned, his
firmness impregnable.
The recognition of his ability is. al
ready manifest in the incipient custom
of the people of referring to him as
William Mckinley. Great men eclipse
and obscure titles. 1t is George Wash
ing in the popular reference to the ma
ton. not General Washington nor Pres
ident Washington. The great Ameri-
can commoner is Abraham Lincoln,
that and nothing more. Titles confer
dignity only to small men. Who would
think of referring to Phillips Brooks as
doctor or bishop? Dr. Beecher does
not mean Henry Ward Beecher to the
people. There is only one Mark Hop
kins. Three-fourthS of the people of
the United States do not know whether
Paul Jones was a captain, commodore
or admiral, neither do they care
Among the list of American presidents
our present chief executive will stand
out as William Mckinley. That is the
sole title which his greatness will en-
dure.
He is the popular idol of the people,
because he trusted them. Here he is
exactly like Lincoln. AS one of the
people, he had unfaltering faith in
them. Thus does the London Times,
most conservative of journals, speak
of him:
eff foreign observers might presume
to have an opinion upon his conduct,
it would probably be that President
Mckinley has kept his finger constant
ly upon the national pulse and has
known how to stimulate and direct ma
tional thought without too marked out
running its movement. Everything
has been done in the open, every move
has been discussed as a possibility all
over the United States before the gov
eminent was irrevocably committed
one way or the other. and the result
of this cautious, tentative. policy is
that where he stands at this moment
the president has the whole American
people at his back
Distinctively he is a president of the
people; the true chief executive of the
nation 1t is no overestimation to
make him one of the trio whom the
IA ton will ever delight to honor.-St.

PRESSING THE BUTTON UNDER
FIRE.

6ne of the distinctive American
characteristics emphasized by recent
military events is GOODNESS at critical
moments. This was shown in a dozen
ways during the battle of Manila. 1t
was demonstrated in the destruction
of Cervera's squadron at Santiago. 1t
was strongly in evidence during all
the land engagements which led to
TOral'S surrender.
Harry L. Beach of Chicago, who was
at the front as newspaper correspond
ent in all the operations before the
fall of Santiago tells of an incident
which occurred while the American
boys were stOrming San Juan hill. In
this the most stubbornly contested bat
tie of the war the boys in blue were
forced to fight their way against a
whitening fire up a long hill to dis
lodge the nemy ON the crest. 1t was
hard work Beneath q scorching trop-
zeal sun the boys were easily over

ment and the extreme heat. One de-
tachment led by Lieutenant Wise, son
of John S. Wise of Virginia. forced
to halt three times for brief periods of
rest. During these breathing spells |
while the Mauser bullets were whistl- |
ing on their deadly missions, young
Wise busted himself by taking kodak |

Of the boys who went up San Juan hill |

ness at critical moments counts for
great deal, and the American possesses
hat quality in an astonishing degree.
