WONDERFULLY CLOSE RACE
Six Day Cycle Teams Are All in
Bunch.

New York, Dec. 1s.-The fifth day of
the six day bicycle race opened with
the American teams fighting for first
place. They were jaded and stiff from
their experiences OF yesterday, however
and apparently lacked advantage over
their foreign rivals. The latter held on
with grim determine ton, and hour after
hour the tired men in the leading posi-
ton went pedaling around the great
ring closely punched. Every man in
the race was in bad shape physically,
and it was admitted that it would be
necessary to administer drugs to many
of them to carry them through to the
end of the race. Fully 5000 persons
remained in Madison Square Garden all
night King tried to steal lap at 4:30
O'Clock, but the bunch Immediately took
up the trail and the effort failed. He
renewed the attempt, and after mile
chase the tired and weary Lawson was
Tapped. A half hour later King tried to
repeat the performance, but Lawson
hung on. The latter was then relieved
by julius. At 6:20 o'clock Jaak sur
prised the crowd with a sprint, and
julius lost a lap.
At O'Clock, after riding for 100 hours,
the men were 1919 miles behind the
record. Two hours later this loss was
increased to 50 miles and nine laps. The
score at 8 o'clock was as follows

A GREAT YEAR FOR FRUIT
Outlook Bright For the Biggest Crop
 Ever Known.

All indications point to the greatest crops of all kinds this year that have ever been grown in the Salt River val- ley. The fruit and vegetable outlook is particularly bright. and in oranges. peaches. apricots. etc. the size of the crops will doubtless touch record mark.
 There can be no doubt of tremen- dous lot of deciduous fruits. while the great amount of irrigation that has been done and the big supply of water in prospect makes anything else but an immense crop of citrus fruits, virtually an impossibility.
 The Melon Growers association Is anticipating the shipment of over half hundred carloads. There are more cantelopes planted in the valley than ever before. Last year there were but about twenty cars sent north. but it is believed that number will be doubled or tripled. There has been a very large planting of strawberries. one man. John Lamazou. having put in 100000 new plants at his ranch near Wilson's crossing. The first berries will be in about the middle of April. There has been a big planting of po- tatces. and local shippers expect to send out more than ever before.
 Nearly all of the Arizona oranges arc gone. but the demand is not decreas- ing. Mir. George Buxton said yesterday that orders were received every day from New York. and that the dealers there preferred even the smaller Ari- zona fruit to that of the latter ana larger California oranges. A few Jaffa oranges and few pomelos are still left of the Arizona crop. but most of the or anges for sale here are from California. A considerable quantity of green truck is coming from local gardens and in two weeks there will be large supply. Eggs are growing more plentiful and cheaper. They are retailing at 20 cents per dozen. as against 35 cents and 40 cents a month ago

WHOLESALERS IN SESSION.

St. Louis, Mo, March 1.--Wholesale merchants and commercial travellers throughout the country are interested in the conference being held here today by the general passenger and general baggage agents of the southwestern railroads. as the chief subject under consideration is the transportation of mercantile samples as personal bag gage or as merchandise. The greater part of this business is now carried free. but the general baggage agents desire to bring about a change in this condition of things and subject all such baggage to regular express rates. If all the southwestern roads can be brought into line and the proposed change become effective the result will be considerable increase in the rev. enues of the roads and a consequent loss in the pockets of the commercial travellers and those employing them.

point built the town, which few
years ago, consisted of hut or two
and thousands Of prairie dogs. Next
yeal fully 1000 acres of beets will be
in cultivation. The output will be
increased as rapidly as possible, and
every day the demand for workmen
is increasing.
! "a general estimate of the cost OF
construction, cost of operating and
general results to be counted upon
of beet sugar factories in this dis
trict, as taken from the Rocky Ford
plant, places the general average of
sugar in the beets at IL per cent.
So far as the Arkansas valley in Col
orado is concerned, this percentage
is beng largely exceeded; the mini
mum percentage of sugar being
about IA per cent, while the maxi
mum has reached % per cent, with
co efficient of purity ranging from
80 to 95 per cent. In stating these
results reference is especially made
to the factory at Rocky Ford, built
and worked by the American Beet
Sugar company, a New York corpor-
alton, which works two factories in
California, and three in Nebraska,
the one at Rocky Fork being their
fifth. The experts in charge of this
last factory all express surprise at
the results of this first campaign,
and they have become thoroughly
convinced that this valley ARKANSAS
valley, Colorado) is the ideal sugar
producer, thanks to its equable eli
mate, ample supply of water for ir'
rigation, cheap fuel and limestone,
and an unlimited extent Of available
land for beet culture. 1t is expect
ed that the same company will erect
one or more factories in addition to
the one at Rocky Ford, one to be
built further east and the other west
of Rocky Ford.
"As an example of the quality OF
the sugar beets produced upon thif
land, it may be mentioned that &c
far six car loads Of beets from one
field have been tested with results
as follows: One car load. 1853 pei
cent; three car loads, 1873 per cent
ane two car loads 20.4 per cent"
