Results Over The State

As result of last Mondays elec-
tion in Arkansas, the Democratic
ticket has swept the state, winning
out by even larger majority than
was given John S. Little in the
Democratic landslide two years ago.
George W. Donaghey, the Demo-
cratic nominee for governor, has
carried every county in the state
over his republican opponent with
the possible exception of three,
Newton, Searcy and Ouachita. In
the latter county, which is safely
Democratic, the Republican state
ticket won ont with a majority
ranging from 8 to 200 votes. This
was due to the fact that liquor men
were appointed as election commits
sioners, instead of the men who were
commended by the Democratic cen
tral committee of the county
Fulton county, which has hereto
fore had a Republican representa-
tive, elected a Democrat this time,
but the county voted "wet" on the
liquor question.
The next Legislature will have
about five Republicans in the lower
house, but the senate will be solidly
Democratic.
Although returns from all conn
ties are not yet available, yet enough
are in to insure a Democratic ma
ioriry in the state of from so, 600
to 5000.
The indications are that there
will be no material change in the
number of counties permitting the
sale of liquor, although reduced
majorities for license in several
counties indicate an increase in the
total majority against license in the
state.
Late returns show that Amend
ment No. Q has received a safe ma
iority, while No. 10 has been
hopelessly 'snowed under"
Pulaski county went "wet" by
about 1000 majority. but the pro-
hlbition forces are claiming that
fraud was practiced. Two years
ago Pulaski county polled
1866 votes and gave a majority
of 1872 for license. This year
there were 1900 votes polled with
a majority of 1000 for license.

The Dwight 3. Heard Office Close
Large Deals in Olive and Orange
Lands.

The exceedingly healthy condition of
1.-THE real estate market was reflected in
an interview with Mr.. Dwight B.
Heard today Mr.. Heard stated:
in spite of the festivities of the fair
we have been exceedingly busy In SELL
ing real estate since the first of No
ivember and have two automobiles and
one or more rigs on the road almost all
the time with prospective, bona fide
home seekers. Among the actual sales
concluded since the 1st of November
are the following:
j. c. Herr Of Los Angeles bought
ten acres of orange land just adjoining
the cross cut canal p. ]. Mckinney,
who is always looking for good offer
ings. bought a nicely improved little
ten acre tract near Glendale for a little
more than 5000 per acre. A sale which
means a decided impetus to the olive
industry is that made during fair week
| to J. c. Pearson Of California, of 20
acres in olives formerly owned by the
Arizona Water. company just east Of
the Munger olive grove. This property
is all in bearing olives and Mr.. Pear
son, who has bought the tract for a
little less than $4,000, will at once i'm
prove it and proposes to establish a
first class oil mill and manufacture a
high quality OF oil.
"One of the healthiest signs of the
time is the increasing demand for quite
small tracts. During the past week we
have sold two ten acre tracts in the
Nelson sub division southeast of town,
TO NTv- hal -ar ~ EJihhinrr Minn
and the other to Mr.. Wright of Phoe-
nix.
Among the large sales which have
been brought to focus recently is one
sale of $4,000 of orange land, full de-
tails of which will be given shortly.
In addition tothe above l have a
number of fairly large transactions in
orange land which will be concluded
within the next few days.
"All the above sales have been on
the north side of the river: on the
south side we have been equally active
w H. Phillips, who at one time lived
in the valley, has just returned from
Nevada and bought a very finely i'm
proved 20 acre tract three miles from
Tempe of Messrs. Lescher and Lilley
for $4,000 He has already settled upon
the property and is improving 1t.
Near Mesa this week concluded the
sale of 40 acres of fine cantaloupe land
to Messrs. Locke and Brown, who are
ALREADY hard at work on this property
Improving it's condition.
These sales since the first of No
vember aggregate over forty thousand
dollars, a large portion of the property
having been brought by new people
who will establish homes on the land"
Mr. Heard stated further: The ma
jority of these purchasers are paying
half cash for their property, the bal
ance 1 am always glad to advance them
as | am fortunate in having an in
creasing demand on the part of eastern
clients for Salt River valley loans"

SUGAR BEET RAISING
In SALT RIVER VALLEY
Timely Tips to Farmers Who Expect
To Grow the Lucrative Beet.

If there is anybody in Arizona who
Cadwallader In 1903 he raised the
record crop of sugar beets in Colorado
On nine acres he raised 301k tons or
33la tons TO the acre. The price re-
ceived was IS a ton.
Mr.. Cadwallader has been interested
in sugar beets as well as cantaloupes
for a number of years. He is now
travelling in the interest of sugar con-
Germ and also represents the firm OF
Crutchfield and voolfolk of Pittsburg
to whom he disposed of last seasons
crop of cantaloupes raised at Glendale.
While here a few days ago he made a
careful examination of the country
about Glendale with reference to beet
growing.
The country here is well adapted for
growing beets," said Mr.. Cadwallader.
1T is Just as good as any and may
prove. better than any. 1 have not
made an examination of the plant, but
Il will say that you have excellent men
at the head of it. Their regulations in
Colorado, Kansas and elsewhere is A l.
and neither of them could afford not to
make a success of this particular plant
as they have of the others which they
have handled. If plenty of water is
obtained there can be no doubt of their
success.
Sugar beets are easily grown and
are one OF the best money makers
farmers can raise. Catalogues and
sugar beets go well together. 1 mean
by that that they should be rotated.
Ill e,
loupes and then one OF sugar beets.
Two or three crops OF sugar beets
should not be grown on one piece of
soil and then cantaloupes. 1t does not
destroy the flavor of the cantaloupes.
but it holds them back and in this val
ley early to market means highest
prices"
This year in Colorado a sliding scale
of prices has been established instead
of the old rate of IS a ton for sugar
beets. Under the IS system all of the
farmers proceeded to raise the largest
beets they could with little reference
to the per centage of saccharine matter
as it is easier to grow a four pound beet
without saccharine than it is with the
requisite Is per cent of saccharine.
To obviate this, a sliding scale was
established this year. For beets test
ing Is per cent of saccharine with so
per cent purity $3.50 is paid and for
every added per cent of saccharine SO
1-3 cents to the ton is given. This
makes the averaged price paid about the
same as formerly and insures the quail
ity of the sugar beet.
The average yield in Colorado is Is
tons to the acre.
