MERE MAN OUTBID BY WOMAN.

Los Angeles Widow Wins Farm
from Wyoming Man at Auction.
Outbid by a woman. This was the
experience Of Edward B. Miner from
the plains of Wyoming, in the contest
for Yuma farm unit G 80, which was
auctioned at the United States land
office, says the Los Angeles Express
Mrs. Mary E. Delo, widow, residing
in this city, was the woman who re-
fused to be outdone by mere man.
The price paid was $2O1.
The land for which Mrs. DeIo and
Mr.. Miner were bidding was a farm
unit which went by default, the sue
cessful applicant in the drawing hay
ing failed to make the first payment
within the ten-day period.
When Receiver Robinson offered this
strip of land at auction a contest for
the farm was begun. .,-.
1T did not require the perception of
a sage to see that the land was want
ed by both Mr.. Miner and Mrs. Delo.
AS quickly as one bid, the price
was raised by the other contestant for
VIZ hc@i LII. i<1pluiy Lu0 price was DlQ
up to 500, and then increased stead
lily until it had scared to 5000. At
this figure, friend of Miner per-
suaded him to withdraw from the bid
ding, and no person seemed willing to
raise the price Of $2O1 bid by Mrs.
Delo.
Receiver Robinson declared that
Mrs Delo had purchased the first
right to file an entry on farm unit
G 33 Of the Yuma land project for
s2O1. In addition to this amount, it
Will be necessary for Mrs. Delo to pay
the regular government price of s65
az acre
Defeated in this quarter, but deter
mined to have Yuma farm, Mr.. Mil
ner studied the blue print showing the
location of the various units, and Sc
lected section which had been al
lowed to go by default by the original
applicant, and filed an entry on it
without paying any money except the
regulation price of S65 an acre.
1t was farm unit C SO, and Mrs
Delo and Mr.. Miner will be near

RECORD FOR BUSINESS
RETURNS FOR 1909 SHOW UN-
USUALLY LARGE PROFITS.
Railroads, Steel, Cotton and Wooden
Concerns Show Gains-Prospects
Are Bright

NEW YORK, May 4.-The great rec
ord of 1909 for business profits becomes
more apparent with every report of the
large corporations of the country.
The railway profits have been made
public through the reports of the vari-
Gus companies and they surpassed in
nearly every instance those of prior
years and in the aggregate exhibited
profits far above expectations of the
most sanguine.
The Steel corporation, the New Eng
land cotton and wooden corporations and
mill companies, all had a most graft
flying year Of business profit, while
firms and individuals throughout the
United States. in the majority of cases,
were well satisfied with the results OF
opera tons of 1909.
A net profit of nearly % per cent
upon cost of production was certainly
an extraordinary percentage of profit
upon articles so necessary to successful
agriculture, and indicates a remark BILE
demand for the articles manufactured
If no widespread disaster occurs to
the crops during 1910 it is almost GER
tain that the sales and the profits for
the present year will go far above even
those Of the record year 1909.
The farmers of the world were never
before in such financial condition to
pay for machinery as they are at the
present time, and they never had such
brilliant prospects for great demand and
good prices for their products as they
have now and these two conditions COM
bined have caused a very great acreage
under cultivation.
With normal yields per acre the har-
vests on account OF this Increased acre
age should show tremendous increase
in the aggregate returns and thus add
to the already great absorbing power
of the agricultural districts for the vari-
Gus manufactured articles required on
the farms and plantations.
