The beet sugar factory at Glendale,
Maricopa county, will start up next
Monday. This years crop will not be
as heavy as in subsequent years and it
is not expected that more than two
months of work will be required to
convert the beets into sugar. Another
year the factory will run much longer.
In fact it is expected that enough
beets will be contracted for for next
year to run the factory eight months
and that will be kept up year after
year.

M. A. Otero, former governor of
New Mexico, returned few days ago
from trip to Europe, where he went
soon after relinquishing the Office of
governor to Governor Hagerman. Gov.
ernor Otero was strenuous opponent
of joint statehood, up to the time he
left New Mexico for his foreign trip
and it seems from his first expression
on the subject after his arrival home,
that:he is of the same opinion now as
before he left several months ago.
ex-governor Otera is power in New
Mexico politics and if he should "stand
pat" for separate statehood or none
there is hardly possibility that the
vote on joint statehood would be fav-
orable to the proposition. This is the
recognized condition in New Mexico to-
day by those who are in possession of
all the facts concerning the politics in
that territory. y.-Douglas International

Chihuahua, Sinaloa and other parts OF
the republic, says the Phoenix Enter
prise. Private letters received here
indicate that there is much cause for
fear that northern Mexico will see a
general uprising on September 16,
which is Mexico's greatest holiday,
unless the government officials get the
situation completely under control. In
the remote mining districts of Sonora
and to the south there are number of
Phoenix people, as well as several
hundred from other parts of the terri
