A REAL EPOCH.

The actual starting up of the sugar factory at Glendale yesterday was the beginning of an epoch in the valley. The word "epoch" is often used care lessly and etxravagantly. In this case it is a good word in a good place.
 The sugar factory was not inaugu- rated yesterday. Nor was it yesterday that it's success was assured. But yes terday the first ocular evidence of its part in the future of the valley was afforded
 It may be said to be definitely known that the farmers will receive for their crops, this discouraging. experimental first year. hardly less than quarter of million dollars. Some of them, though not all. would have reaped profit from their lands if they had been planted to other crops, but the profit would not have been so great. But other lands. which would have lain idle, will bring to their owners an amount per acre equal to more than the land could have been sold for a year ago.
 However. satisfactory as the beet sugar situation became yesterday with the movement Of the machinery at the factory. the fact that it was put in mo- ton was a very small thing in com parlson with the now certain future of the beet raising business in the valley We believe that next year the farmers will be paid half million dollars for sugar beets, and we further believe that. within a few years, million dol lars annually from this source may be confidently counted upon.

THE ACTIVITY OF MIR. ANDREWS

Delegate w. H. Andrews has armed himself with doub,e- barrelled shot eun. so to speak, in this statehood fight and is discharging it right and Iett among friends and foes. indiscrlml- nately and regardless of the line pe tween the two territories which he IS seeking to obliterate.
 He has deluged Arizonians with comics of the statehood bill in two sec tions. one applying to Arizona and New Mexico and the other relating to OKla- homa and the Indian Territory. rms literature is quickly 10 lowed by per sonal letter in which he assumes that the addressee is filled to his own meas ura of fullness with enthusiasm for joint statehood. We should all tram together" advises Delegate Andrews republicans. democrats. prohibitionists and socialists" Age, sex and previous condition of servitude bar no one from giving joint statehood a boost.
 This guileless soul then imparts in formation which we have had before It's now or a long time, perhaps never before we'll have such a chance again The power of the majority is recog- nized in the letters of Delegate An drevs. There are, he informs us, eighty-five millions of people backed up against the statehood door declaring that Arizona and New Mexico shall not come in unless they enter hand in hand.
 Delegate Andrews joint statehood campaign is in full swing. We do not know what progress he is making in New Mexico but We know that his typewriter is running riot in the en- emy's country. We know that he is wasting a lot of House of Representa- tives stationery and we regret to say that he is employing his congressional franking privilege in the dissemination of literature for the conversion or Ari- zonians. This leads us to wonder whether or not in his next campaign (assuming that he will again be a can didate) he will enclose his appeals for the suffrage of the peop.e in franked envelopes.
 As We have before remarked, Dele gate Andrews was not always Tor JOlht statehood. He was nominated by those who opposed jointure and we have no doubt that his supposed attitude in opposition swelled his majority in the election. Having, as he imagines, seen the error of his youth, he is now ex- citedly making up for lost time.
 Notwithstanding the delegates ap- parently random system of conducting this warfare 1t proves that he and the New Mexicans are not hopeless of the result in Arizona. No foe in any con flict is so insignificant as to be disre- for the opponents of joint statehood in Arizona to emulate the activity of this scatter-gun New Mexican delegate.
