MARSHAL BROWN AND
 HIS MARATHON RACE
A Swift Footed Red Skin Kept the Lead For a Time.

During the course of the council meeting Wednesday evening MT. Brown stepped in and deposited two bottles of wine on the desk. It tran spired that it was in no wise his inten- tion to treat the crowd; rather the two bottles represented the fruits of a long and extended chase from which the marshal was still panting He had been a witness to a transaction be- tween a Mexican and an Indian in which the two bottles he held and a third one had been exchanged. After the negotiations had been closed and the Indian was in possession of the liquor, Mr. Brown laid his hand upon the Mexican, whereupon the Indian started toward the butte on the high gear. Turning the Mexican over to a bystander for safe keeping. MT Brown gave chase. The Indian in the mar shaTs estimation would make a good Marathon runner with a little training for he far outdistanced the officer. He circled around the Lukin block and in the moonlight passed nearby where the captive Mexican was being held. The man holding him became excited and letting go the Mexican took hand in the chase for the red man. He at last fell upon him and it was discov- cred that the Indian was somewhat handicapped by the presence of three bottles of wine in his shirt; one of them was broken in the fall and the other two were the ones the marshal held as evidence in the case. The Mexican made good his escape but his identity is known and his apprehension is only a question of time. He has been with the P & F.. bridge gang and still has wages due him to the amount of S25 If he ever returns to collect that. it means a term in the pen for him.

FINE SEED YIELD Of
 ARLINGTON FARMS
Two Forty Acre Traets Thresh 52o
 Pounds to the Acre.

The Republican. has had hay stories and barley stories and railroad stories from Arlington this year, but this is the first alfalfa seed story of the vim tage of 1909 C. w. Peterson was up from Arlington yesterday and reports that the thresher is now busy harvest ing alfalfa seed in that section. All the acreage that was allowed to mature seed is turning out nicely. but there are two forty acre tracts that have given such an excellent return that they are entitled to special mention. One belongs to Andrew Anderson and the other to Will Fitzpatrick.
 The yield from these two fields has been at the rate of 520 pounds of threshed seed per acre. which valued at the conservative price of ten cents pound is $52 per acre for the seed alone. The threshed hay is also worth considerable and that with the hay crops cut before the alfalfa was allow ed to go to seed, means decidedly fine revenue per acre for those ranches.
 While everybody familiar with local conditions knows the lower country soil is equal to the best and the water is just as wet, it is believed that these two patches were influenced to hump themselves this year in the hope of showing the people that the need of railroad was not an idle dream.

 The most successful remedy in this country for the cure of all forms of female complaints is Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound. It has stood the test of years and to-day is more widely and successfully used than any other female remedy. It has cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflam- nation, alteration, fibroid tumors, ir- regularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, flatulency, indigestion, and nervous prostration, after all other means had failed.
 If you are suffering from any of these ailments, don't give up hope until you have given Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound trial.
 If you would like special advice write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, for it. She has guided thousands to health, free of charge.

them UP with beet tops. The tops keep
the beets in fine condition and preserve
them from shrinking. For these beets
the farmer receives from the company
90 cents per ton additional. which pays
for the extra labor In SLIDING. The
other beets have been delivered in good
shape, about so per cent on cars and
the remainder by wagon to the I.ehl
plant or at the cutting stations at Pro-
yo. Springville and Spanish Fork.
This year the factory started cutting
bects Oct 1. and Will probably run
we'll into February. A good run Is
being made and an excellent grade oil
sugar is being turned out. The prob
able output of sugar will be 10000, 900
pounds Quite a number of improve
ments have been made the past year in
installing new machinery. new pumps,
etc. which facilitate the handling or
tho juices.
While the farmer benefits greatly by
a good beet crop. so does the laboring
man, as over $4,000 will be paid TO
about 80 employees of the factory this
campaign. The factory also gives en-
ployment to n large number of men
during the summer and in other ways,
which adds greatly to the general pros
perity. In addition. many thousands
OF dollars are paid each year for new
machinery. bags, coal, coke, lime rock
and other supplies. The company now
finds a ready market for all pulp both
at the Lehi plant and cutting stations
at a good price. What pulp the beet
raiserS do not use for cattle feeding is
sold to cattle and sheep companies, who
feed here. and at the plants a large
number of cattle and sheep, which also
gives the farmers !, good market for
their hay at a good price,
The beet sugar industry has been and
is without doubt the greatest factor I'm
this locality In advancing the prosperi
ty of the people. rs 1t not only pays the
farmer and the laboring man large
sums of money each year. but 1t makes
the farmer a better farmer. as 1t
teaches him to be painstaking and to
study the value of his soil; thus 1t is
fact that the farmer who raises beets
is the best raiser of grains and all other
crops.

rAH AND IDAHO'S SUGAR RECORD FOR 1909
Great Year at Lehi Factory

HE past year in the beet business
for the Lehi factory has been
most successful one. There are 1,S4O
farmers OF Salt Lake. Utah. Wasatch,
Snnpete and Sewer counties who havo
raised about 10000 tons of beets for
which they will have been paid about
$6o5 900. This great tonnage was raised
on little less than $500 acres of beets.
There have been practically no failures,
and while some have raised a very
heavy crop, the general average has
been very good this season, so that
each beet raiser has had good returns.
The raising of the beets alone gives
great deal of employment and distrib-
utes money In so many hands that 1t IS
q great factor in the prosperity OF the
different towns,
The farmer realizes more each year
that the raising of sugar beets is his
best crop. as he knows before plant
ing when he can deliver his crop and
what he will receive for same. which is
not the case with his other crops.
While most of the farmers have
raised a very good crop, the following

there are Just a few exceptions to this
condition. which must be expected. The

the farms are small, and most of the
work is done by the family, is one or
the favorable conditions. as nearly all

only two years of the 10 that we
have been in this business has the beet
crop failed us, and that by reason of

beets; over this the farmers could have
no control. We trust Il viii be many

The greater portion OF this beet land
has been growing sugar beets for the
last two to four years conSecutively.
Ninety per cent OF the farmers in this
valley are making this crop their first
consideration, hence the great success.
l consider the farming in this valley
is done as scientifically as at any place
in the intermountain region, for the
farmers realize the necessity of the
selection of proper land. and of doing
the work at the proper time, such as
the thinning, wedding. hoeing. cuti-
waiting and irrigatlng; we notice where
irrigation is very carefully done, and
the water used economically. the best
results as to tonnage and sugar con-
tent is obtained.
1t is no uncommon thing for the
farmers to thresh so to 100 bushels of
oats per acre and 40 to so bushels OF
wheat per acre after growing three or
four consecutive crops of sugar beets.
l consider this valley, with its perfect
irrigation system, one of the most pro-
ductive in the west.
Previous TO the building of the sugar
factory. there were only about three
or four houses where the town of Gar

no tonnage of sugar beets all over the
state, the best results coming from the
Sugar City field. and the most unfavor-
able from Nampa. where the crop was
so light that the beets were shipped to

The tonnage at Sugar ran from 10 to
IS tons to the acre with the best grow
ers who accomplished very good re-
suits.
Notwithstanding the fact that ex-
ceedingly high prices prevailed In all
other kinds of farm products, the grow
ers generally feel that 1t Is a good
thing to raise as many beets as they
can In connection with their other
crops as they are fully aware that
beet culture has had a tendency to
stimulate the prices of other products,
raise the standard of their farms con-
siderably and increasing the fertility of
their soil. thus giving greater yields in

were planted last spring, and about

Is about the same yield that has been
