A PUBLIC RENEFACTOR

1t may consistently be said chat the
final link in the chain of YaVapai's in
dustrial progress is being welded today
by the building of the railroad to the
mineral fields OF the Bradshaws. Fol

mitted that wha motive prompted

what influence of a legislative charac-
ter authorized the enactment of liberal
laws 10 encourage such measures, III
either event the wisdom of railroad
building in Yavapai has been verified.
In this especial instance CT the Brad

TIE GREENE CONSOLIDATED
Col. Greene's Denial OF Even a FOun-
dation for Recent Rumors.

Rumors regarding changes of man
agement of the Greene Consolidated
have been set al rest by a private TEL
egram received yesterday from Gel. W.
c. Greene, who was at Nogales. For
more than month it has been report
ed chiefly in the east that the controll-
ing interest had passed out of the
hands Of Col. Greene and it was even
reported that he had been deposed from
the presidency. The controlling inter-
est. it had been stated, had been &C
quired by the Amalgamatad, R0ckefel-
Ter. H. H. Rodgers. Edwin Hawley and
f. H. Hartman.
1t was further stated that 4 great
deal of the stock OF the company had
when one of the recent pinches in
Wall street came the stock passed into
the hands of the Amalgamated
In his telegram Col. Greene says all
these rumors are without foundation:
that the Amalgamated does not own 4
dollars worth OF the stock OF the
Greene Consolidated: that he himself
has ben busy for months increasing
his own holdings. and that he has the
situation fully in hand.
Ii viii be remembered by readers of

first reports Of changes in the mana ge-
ment OF the company We're reported the

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
Special Agent Saylor Predicts a Bright
Future

The Department of Agriculture has issued
a report on the progress of the beet sugar
industry in the United States. The report
contains papers by Charles F. Saylor, spe-
cial agent for the investigation Of the beet
sugar industry: B. T. Galloway, chief of
the bureau Of plant industry; ]. E. Tracy
OF the bureau Of plant industry; Truman
@. Palmer Of the same bureau. and F. H.
Chittenden Of the division Of entomology.
In his reportMr. Saylor says:
I'm reporting on the progress OF beet
sugar industry in the United States for
1902 l do so with feeling of satisfaction
inspired by more nearly complete realiza-
ton or hopes than was the case when
made my last report Not only have more
and larger factories been installed but
many of those in operation have largely
increased their working capacity.
The industry today has bright future
With the signing of the protocols Of the
European Sugar-producing countries and
Great Britain. at the Brussels conference
the artificial stimulus to overproduction of
the worlds sugar ended. placing the sugar
industry of this country on a basis subject
to no laws but those Of its own enactment
and those naturally evolved from healthful
trade relations. The cartel Of Germany
Will no longer place sugar on our markets
al less than the cost of manufa curing it.
There is an end to the unnatural arrange
ment which compelled the people of several
European countries to pay heavy tax on
the sugar they consumed in order to sub
sidtze the sugar exported. and thus enable
tho manufacturers to sell In other countries
at less than the cost Of production"

FURRY AMONG employees.
Rumered Change in Districts Method
of Paving Salaries.

There was quite furry OF excitement
at the District building this morning when
it was rumored that as result OF certain
representations made by the new District
auditor a complete change Is to be made
in paying off employees. 1t was stated that
the members of the police force would be
required to sign the pay roll ten days in
advance Of receiving their checks. 1t was
also stated that such day laborers employed
on the streets and elsewhere as are unable
to sign would have to make their MARKS,
for In most cases they cannot write, the
same leigth of time before receiving their
monthly or semi-monthly wages.
The overseers and foremen of the labor
ing gangs reported that such a rule would
be very difficult of enforcement. as labor
ers were constantly being discharged and
others engaged. 1t was impossible to say
where a laborer engaged upon the District
work today would be ten days from now.
Inquiry developed the fact that Auditor
Garrison had reported to Commissioner
West, who has supervision OF the auditing
department. that 1t had been the custom OF
the auditor In the past to audit the pay
rolls of the District in blank.
That is, the auditor would execute what
was really not voucher but statement
as to certain amounts to be paid to certain
employees Mr.. Garrison did not think he
should be called upon to audit these pay
rolls until the employees had signed them.
1t was agreed. however. that for the pres
ent the old systems Of paying Off are to re-
main in effect
An ARRANGEMENT will be made to have the
auditor simply approve" the pay rolls as
made out In the disbursng office. The en-
ployeS will continue to sign at the end Of
the month or fortnight. as the case may be,
and the pay roll returned to the auditor with
all the signatures attached for final audit.
This Is the system followed in the govern
ment departments. and it Is believed to be
the most simple and safe.

Engage In General Row.

jeff Grimsley, young farmer of Fair
fax county. Va. and Al Smithson, son OF
the man in charge OF the naphtha launch
with the Langley airship party. endeavored
to settle a quarrel Of long standing yester-
day, 1t Is said. at a tournament held at
Riverside Park, near Mount Vernon. As a
result a general fight was brought on, In
which. it Is understood. a number of SOL
diers from Fort Hunt took hand. In the
fight between Grimsley and Smithson the
former was said to be getting the best Of the
argument when number of men took the
side Of Smithson and gave Grimsley beat
ing. At this point the soldiers came to the
rescue OF Grimsley, but they were driven
off by the partisans of Smithson. The prin-
cipals In the fight remained. with others. 1t
Is said on the grounds when the last car
left for this city, and 1t is stated both were
armed, and had agreed to settle the dispute
In the old-fashioned way. AS there is no
communication between this city and River

ascertain whether or not the proposed duel
took place.
