ONLY ONE PLACE
O. o Matthews Returns to Phoenix
 After Seeing the World.

Mir. O. O. Matthews, who enlisted and went to the Philippines with the Fortieth |. S. " infantry. has re- turned to Phoenix, which he says IS the only place to live. MT. Matthews left Phoenix with the First territorial regiment under Colonel McCord, and after he Was mustered out he went to Central America and tramped across The country to the Pacific coast with George Niblock, an officer of the First territorial. From there MT. Matthews went to San Francisco. where he en- listed for the Philippine service He spent nineteen months in the islands. though but little of the time in Manila. and most of his service was in the island of Mindanoa. He likes the coun- try there pretty wsll in spots. but has no desire to live there. and thinks a man without capital has no more op- nnr-unities than in this country.
 Returning to San Francisco last June he went directly to his old home in Pennsylvania. and returned to Phoenix yesterday morning via the Santa Fe. He is looking we'll and feel ing good. except for slight cod. Speaking os Central .Ame-ica. he says it is a wonderful country and fhere are sections of it that offer great op- portunities for capital. He enjoyed his long walk across it and gained flesh every day. though he lost it again in Pennsylvania.

hauling will add about s1O, making a grand total Of from S2S to S30 per acre.
 Reets of the quality that should be raised here land these fig.ues are based upon actual results obtained from experiments actually made in this valley) will command a price of from s4.33 to S4.66 per ton. Taking s4.5o per ton as an average price, and assuming a yield of fifteen tons per the grower of $67.50, leaving a not pro- fit of S31.50 for the crop.
 If such results can be obtained. with yield of fifteen tons per acre, is it to be wondered at that. as d matter of history, in all localities where a suc- cessful beet sugar factory has been erected. all good lands tributary to it have doubled and sometimes tripled in their intrinsic vaue, Let the farmers compare ths above results with those obtained in raising the staple crops of this valley and draw their own con- clusions.
 Another source of revenue fer the ranchers and cattle raisers of the val ley will be found In the fact that the beet refuse or pulp, after leaving the factory. is excellent feed for stock and sheep; and when used in connection with alfalfa hay has proved money maker in California. Cobra 1o and Utah. It is. also well known that pulp fed cows give abundant supply of rich. creamy milk.
 The lime refuse containing all of the organic matters removed from the best juice, and most of the salts, ccn- stitute an excellent fertilizer. It is especially beneficial in clayey soils where it acts as a divider. changing the rzf,r IL ing it more mellow and easy to culti- vate.
 The above are some of the reasons and considerations why all farmers at -arse. and every public-spirited citizen. having at heart the development and welfare of the valley. should welcome this new industry"

PROFITS OF FARMERS
What May be Expected of Sugar
 Beet Culture.

In yesterdays issue was presented some of the general facts and figures concerning the beet sugar industry and its possibilities m the United States. R garding the profits to be made by the ranchers in raising sugar beets. Mir. E. E. BrysseiDout. the sup e;intendent of the Central Sugar Com pany, spoke as follows in an interview last night:
 Tt is as yet difficult to furnish cor rect idea with respect to the amount of money the ranchers could clear in raising sugar beets in the Sat River valley. Adequate data is lacking. and the only way we could possibly arrive at the desired figures wouli be to re- view rapidly what has been accom- plished in other states where the beet sugar industry has had years of stand ing.
 From ten to twelve tons of sugar bests per acre may be considered an average crop in Nebraska. Michigan and ether states where lands are not Irrigated. Of course. higher yields than these have been obtained, ani WE know of many instances where, ,suod seasons. as high as twenty-five. twen- weight. and even thirty tons per acre have been harvested.
 ''HoWever,-to be cOnservatiVe,-let us suppose yield of fifteen tons per acre. and base our calculations on this figure.
 The expense in raising sugar bee;s in unirrigated states. estimated from the time the land Is first plowed until after the crop has been 'laid-by, awaiting the harvesting, including all labor. cost of seed. etc, will aggre- gate from SIS to s2o per acre.

WON THE FIRST RAGE
The Most Superb Contest Ever Seen on the Sea-For Half the Course the Challenger Led but was Picked Up on the Return-The Remarkable Finish Set Men ard Women Crazy.

New York, Sept. 2S.-In the closest. most soul stirring race ever sailed for the old Americas cup. the white flyer Columbia today beat the British chal- Ienger over the windward and leewarl course. thirty nautical miles. by la~- TOW heart breaking margin of thirty nine seconds. As Lipton's latest ~s- pirant for cup honors must allow the defender 43 seconds on account of ex- tra canvess in her sail area, the officiai record. under rules, gives her a victoIY ; of one minute and twenty-two seconds
 As a spectacle the contest was su- perb. From the time the two racers crossed the starting line until they fed across the finish line four and half hours later the result was in doubt Excitement aboard the excursion fleet increased until men became frsnzied and women almost hysterieaI- Su evenly matched were the two racing machines. that never after they started were the rival shippers out of each others hail. More than three quarters of the time they were so close that Barr. who had the tiller aboard the Columbia. could have tossed a biscui; lO COplaln sycamore or the shamrock.
 For miles as they beat their way "a the outer mark. the black shadow Of the Shamrock's huge topsaiI was paint ed the big mainsail of the Columbia. During the home sail the yachts, flying like scared deer before the wind. rar almost beam to beam, as if harnessed together.
 As a result of today's race, though faith in the Columbia still remains iu the hearts of patriots all experts a1uii, that the British boat is the ablest s,oDp ever sent across the waters to lift tn@ cup which the old schooner America brought across the Atlantic fifty years ago. The superiority of American seamanship. and naval architecture. as represented by the defender. remains to be established.
 Never before did such an immense crowd put to sea as the one that wens down to the Sandy Hook lighthouse today. The wind at thz start was blowing II knots. The course sailed today was fifteen miles to the wind- ward and return.
 According to the official time ths- Shamrock started at 11:0O:14 and the Columbia 11:0016. The Shamrock was in the weather berth and began 10 draw away from the Columbia at once At 12:30 the Shamrock was in the lead At D. m. the wind was increasing. and the Shamrock still retained the lead. doing great work to the windwar. At +1.25:12 the Shamrock turned tho outer mark. while the Columbia did nai make the turn until 1:25:53. The turn put the Columbia in trim. for at 2:20 she overhauled and passed the sham rock.
 THE ERIN'S ESCAPE.
