AT the afternoon session, B. G. More

He would not swear positively that the
defendants were the men that robbed
him. He positively identified them at
the preliminary examination, but after
seeing those men in Ogden, one of
whom, resembled one of the defendants,
doubt arose in his mind and he was
afraid serious mistake might be made.
In view of his evidence, District At

impossible to convict the defendants
and rested his case. Mr.. Caine, the de-

the motion and the jury brought in a
verdict of not guilty.
The defendants were then discharged

ANALYSIS OF
SUGAR-CANE
SAMPLES FROM VALLEY PLAN
TATIONS AT FAIR.
Show High Degree of Pure Sugar
Content, and Very High Rate of
Purity-Cane From Four Planta-
tions in Valley Competed for Prize.

An interesting feature incidental
to the Midwinter Fair Held at
Brownsville last week was the test
of the various samples of sugar cane
which were entered in competition for
the prize which was offered for the
best exhibit of sugar-cane grown in
the valley. This test was made by
Dr.. George Pichl, who is chief chem
list at the sugar plantation of the
Ohio and Texas Sugar Company near
Brownsville The latter company,
having been asked to judge the cane
entered in the contest, did not enter
any samples from its plantation. Dis
plays were made by the following
plantations:
Piper Plantation Company, Rio
Grande Sugar Plantation, both of
which are situated some miles below
Brownsville, Garza's plantation, a
few miles north of Brownsville and
Hills plantation at Harrington. The
report of the chemical analyses was
made by DR.. Pichl to the committee
on sugar exhibits, the report in full
being as follows:
January Is, 1909
Mr.. Caledonia Cara, Jr., Chairman
on Sugar Exhibit.
Dear Sir: An analysis of the sew
eral samples of sugar-cane offered in
competition shows the following:
The juices in the canes of the Bru-
lay and Piper samples were of equal
quality but Piper's samples were in
better condition and would yield
more juice for a given weight of cane
than would Brulay's samples. The
size of the cane in PipAr's exhibit
would also indicate a larger tonnage
per acre.

canes of the exhibit take precedence

Yours very truly,
DR.. GEORGE PICHL,
Nte gu.

An encouraging feature of the re-
suits of the foregoing analysis is the
showing of exactly the same quantity
of pure sugar in the samples from
the Brulay plantation, on which cane
has been grown continuously for
something like thirty years, as that
contained in the cane from the Piper
plantation, on which land cane has
been in cultivation only two years.
This goes to show that continuous
use Of the land for sugar production
does not exhaust its productiveness.

RURAL TELEPHONES
INCREASING FAST
OVER 5000 PER CENT GAIN IN
ELEVEN STATES IN FIVE
YEARS.

Two thousand three hundred and
fifty per cent. seems rather large
figures to be dealing with, even
when one is considering as broad
a subject as the increase in the
use of rural telephones. Yet it is
fact that in the five year period
ending Dec. 81. 1907, the number of
phone stations in the rural dis
tricts of the western states did jump
1850 per cent. In actual figures.
the eleven states which constitute
this group had 1859 country tele-
phones at the end of the year 1902;
five years later they had 62,774.
These figures form the most strik-
ing part of the latest telephone Gen.
sus. Statistics placed side by side
for comparison always speak an in
teresting story. One may deduce
some telling facts from the following
table, showing just how many rural
phones each Western state had in
