Baptist Church, last Wednesday night.
For a few moments the distinguished
family were held in a spell of conster-
nation as to what the results would be
when the storm was yer. The house
was pelted with grains of corn, after
which the party began singing Stand
the storm" Then the family recog-
nized the storm to be composed of
members of their flock, so the doors
were thrown open and the party ush-
cred into the parlor, where a warm fire
was still burning. '"There is a foun-
tain filled with blood" was sung. Bro.
j. r. Oaff talked, then Rev. Green spoke
giving vent to his feeling for being
thus surprised. Sister FurgesOn re
sponded, after which "God be with
you" was sung and the merry party
dispersed, leaving behind them many
useful and necessary things. Those

The ladies met at the home of Mrs.

thirty strong. These ladies, headed by
a chorus, marched to the home of Rev.
Waterford. and after circling the
house three times and filling the air
with most melodious music, they en-

No more royal reception was ever
given any storming party than was
rendered this party of ladies by the
Reverend and family. After many
stump speeches were made and a hope
that what they left would not cause
neither the Reverend nor his family
to call in a doctor, the party returned
home feeling that they had done an act
only surpassed by that of the Good
Samaritan.

SHRINE DELEGATES
 ARE HOME AGAIN
Had Just as Good Time as the Law Allowed.

J. J. Sweeney and Dr. G. w Nlckers
 have returned home from Louisville, where they went to attend the inn | perial council of the Mystic Shrine. as
 delegates from Fl Zaribah temple. The | former arrived on Tuesday and the i latter yesterday. Both gentlemen re- port a decidedly joyful time. One thing l peculiar about the shrine organization
 is that it's members always have a | good time. or say they do. at least, and that amounts to the same thing so far as anybody knows.
 About the only unfavorable criticism that either of them make is in respect of the weather. People accustomed to
 the bracing summer weather of this region naturally feel uncomfortably
 hot when they get into the torrid and
 humid latitude of Louisville. It was
 not only hot. but it was sweltering. due
 to the moisture, and the frequent showers though the thermometer read
 ing was quite modest compared with
 the home product Nevertheless the
 shriners had their parade and their
 various kinds of joy ceremonies, did
 what work was necessary in the four days stay. and fixed next years meet
 ing for New Orleans. This time the
 latitude was taken into consideration and the date marked up to April to offset the geographical location of New Orleans. Altogether Louisville did herself proud. The decorations were imposing, but not as fine as the deco rations at St Paul the year before. However. the entertainment was per haps better than that at St. Paul and good old southern hospitality was in evidence in all quarters. The big feature was the electric parade. which was a very spectacular one.
 At the conclusion of the council Mir. Sweeney took a siXty-mile excursion to the Mammoth Cave. He felt it a duty to see the famous place, being already so close to it, and says he is rather glad he did so. but he is most pleased with the fact that he. won't have to go there again. He says the cave is big enough. goodness knows, but one can't see much of it at a time He wandered about in it for three hours and while he only saw a little of il. he got the worth of his monev It is not electrically lighted. and one has { q carry a lantern or torch ard can only see little at time. It is well named and notable place. but Mir Sweeney thinks that as natura won der the Grand Canyon is finer than a whole handful of Mammoth caves.
 There were numerous excursions and side trips for the visitors to the city. and the city itself was placed at their disposal. It would be hard to make comparisons with similar occa- sions and hard to imagine a better time than the visitors had in Louis vile. Mir. Sweeney said that beside the delegates there were some other Arizonians in attendance. one of them being Rob Roy. of Winslow

TRACTION ENGINE FOR
 HAULING SUGAR BEETS
Worlds Record Beets are Brought to Glendale.-Farmers Grow Enthus- iastic Over Promising Industry.

AS the work progresses at the sugar beet factory the people of this section are becoming more and more en- thusiastic about the opportunities of fered to the farmer In the raising of beets. and are coming to a greater ap- preciation of what the operation of the factory means to the future of the valley
 During the past few days many wagons of beets, drawn by four horse teams. have made their way through the business section of the city and have been the occasion of much favor able comment. Several car loads daily are now being shipped from this city to the factory and the season has yet barely commenced. In the vicinity of Glendale there is much more activity apparent than in the section of the valley which lies within the radius that ships from this city. Ralph Murphy has so many beets that. ordinary meth Ods of transportation of farm pro- ducts has proved entirely inadequate and he is hauling beets to the factory in a train Of ten wagons. which is drawn by a traction engine. On each trip from the field he brings to tho factory more beets than could be load ed in an ordinary freight car
 According to the reports which have been brought to this city the largest beets which have been re- ceived come from the southeast quarter Of section 2. which is owned by Thomas w. Peck. Not only are the beets from this section the largest which have been seen locally. but it is very probable that for size and qual- ity they have never been surpassed any place in the world.
 Farmers who have been to the fac tory and who are thoroughly convers- ant with the situation. are highly op- timistic concerning the future of the industry in this valley. They report that all of the beets are of large size and that they all show good per centages of saccharine matter Every one who has visited the mill is a booster. and all came away convinced that there are few crops which will prove more profitable to the farmer than will the sugar beet. Many of those who have grown a few acres this year have signified an intention of in creasing that acreage as much as pos sible next season.
 With the optimism which is being manifested and which is certainly jus tified by the results in sight. the rapid growth of the industry and the of other factories int he valley is matter which is almost be- yond doubt.

Fifty Lots Sold in Capitol Addition By Electric Light. Auction at Night Proves Decided Success.

 The bidding at the sale was brisk and none of the properties had to wait long before some one who de- sired the lot spoke up The confi- dence which the real estate men of the city have in the new residence section was shown by the fact that several real estate firms were among the purchasers
 The tract in the Capitol addition. all of which will be sold. contains lS3 lots and is the property of Messrs. Spencer and Loch of the Val ley Bank, who purchased it short time ago.
