SUGAR BEET FACTORY
Lines Run for Main Building-Con-
 struction Begins This Week.

Theodore Hapke, the superintendent of the construction company that is going to build the sugar factory at Glendale, reported last evening that his engineers had run the lines for the Elain building of the plant. He also said that prelimina4ies had been made for the sinking of a well and the erec- tion of d windmill to furnish a water supply during construction; that esti- mates of local contractors would be considered Monday and probably the work for the foundation would be let It is likely also that the engineers will on Monday begin the running of the line for a spur Of the S. r., P. & P rail- road from Glendale to the site of the plant.
 These things look like business, and before the planting season arrives the sugar factory will loom up in a most dignified manner. MT. Hapke, who eX- poets to leave for couple of months as soon as he gets construction under way, said he never saw as promising conditions anywhere as now exist in this valley. He is so well satisfied of the future that he has himself purchas ed a tract of land, knowing that it will = ally, he thinks, reach $2OO per acre in the vicinity of the sugar factory and other favored locations. He has made his purchase already for the reason that he feared prices might be soaring before he got back here.
 In discussing the probable effect of the building of the factory, MT. Hapke said he had been interested in the con he north and every one of them had prov en a wonderful benefit to the adjacent country The most notable incident, perhaps, was at Loveland, Colo. Thir- teen years ago he went there to report on conditions for the building of a fac tory. Land was then worth about S25 per acre. The factory was not built for certain reasons. Nine years later, when the first factory was built at Loveland, the land had not increased in value to exceed s an acre, even after large irrigation works were con structed. But with the building of the factory then prosperity came and in that little section comprising three counties there are now nine factories and all good land is worth $2O0 per acre. Very similar conditions exist at Rocky Ford.
 In comparing these places with this valley MT. Hapke mentioned something that has been but infrequently spoken of here, and it is one of Arizona's s greatest advantages in beet culture That is that planting and early culti- vating of beets should be done here in the winter time when the farmer has few if any other crops growing. It is the time of year when he has the least to do. By the time his beet crop is out of the way his alfalfa, grain and other things come on, and then too if he chooses he can raise a crop of sor- ghum or something else after the beet crop. The whole care of the beet crop comes when the farmer has the most time for it and when labor is most easily obtained, the most pleasant sea son of the year for work. The water for irrigation, too, is more easily ob- tained and less needed for other prlr- poses.

A BUSINESS CHANGE MT. Weeks Resigns Presidency of the B. B. Co. of Prescott.

At a recent meeting of the board of directors of the Bashford- -Burmister company, D. M. F. Weeks rendered his resignation as president, effective June 1,says the Journal-Miner. MT. Weeks retires from the head of this concern with the best of feeling and good wishes of his associates, and is making the change solely for private reasons, and for the purpose of seeking some lower altitude. believing that such d change will be beneficial to his health James A. Hope, who is now first vice president will succeed to the presi- dency of this concern, and he needs no particular introduction to the people of this section, as he has been actively identified with the management for the past two or three years, and is quail fled to fill the position in every sense of the term.

PRETTY CIRCUS WOMEN.

They Must Have Good Looks Nowadays
 as Well as Good Muscles.
 There is 8 new kind of circus girl, just as there is a new chorus girl. Tne letest thing in chorus girls is slight anc piquant, and in marked physical con- trast to the opulent, stalwart beauty who was formerly considered the only type adapted to stage display.
 The new kind of circus girl is stri>.- ing principally on account of her in- creased comeliness. The hard-faced. dyed d-haired rider with her set smile and gastly little coquetries is a thing of the past.
 The women are nowadays fresher, prettier and nearly always better dress ed than they were in the past. Cornell ness seems to be regarded now as irn- portant as their athletic skill.
 One very mediocre acrobat was a woman called "The Beautiful Geral- dine, who was successful ten years ago fl om one end of Europe to the other, rot because she was skillful in her work, but on account of her supposedly great beauty. Yet today she would not seem so much above the average of looks at the Madison Square Garden.
 Their dressing is also more tasteful in its colors and the women who this year ride in habits are in every way smarter looking than they were in the past. But it is her looks that differ entiate the present-day circus girl from her predecessors. She is rapidly be- coming a thing of beauty as well as of muscle and daring.

A Woman's Wealth.
Paine'SCelery
Compound
GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH. TO DEBILlTATED AND
RUN DOVE WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writer's that the greatness Of a nation depends
much upon the physical condition OF ITS
women The general conditions which con
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those yogefs by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the tact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and deblli-
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sckly women
earth's great rescuer and health builder,
Paine's Celery Compound. Thousands of
healthy women around us owe their present
vigor, activity, and robustness to Palne's
Celery Compound. Mrs. Stephen Smith, st.
Paul. Mimi, tells how she was snatched from
the grave; she says:-
81 had bad attack of la grippe this spring
and was at deaths door, and no one ever
expected me to recover. | was so weak that
as soon as they brought out of one faint
l was in another. / could not take any
nourishment, and doctors medicines did me
no good. A friend advised my husband to
get me bottle of Paine's Celery Compound,
which he did, but had no faith in it. The
second day after taking the Compound,
began to get real hungry and took an interest
in things. had everything that money and
loving care could supply, and with that and
Paine's Celery Compound, l am now dong
my own work, while three months ago was
almost in the grave. 1 know that l owe my
health and strength to Paine's Celery Com
pound, and shall always recommend it."

murderers need no longer fear death as
a punishment for their crime?
The Moth Carolinian OF today may

seems that man can no longer COM

either turn our murderers loose Or take

It is too often the case that MUIR

that jurisprudence should recognize de-
erees in murder as IN every thing else,
but if We can't convict man Of MUIR

peal our law which authorizes hang
