GLENDALE CANTALOUPES
 ARE HIGHLY PROFITABLE
Figures Compiled by Ralph Murphy
 Are Almost Beyond Belief.

Figures that will be astounding and almost unbelievable to persons unfam- iliar with the wonderful productivity of Glendale loess and the profits to be made in cantaloupe growing when soil and market conditions are right, have been compiled by Ralph Murphy. vice president of the Glendale Cantaloupe Growers association.
 During the season that has just closed. MT. Murphy had charge of two separate patches of cantaloupes. One was on his own place and the other on the farm of the Glendale Land company. The two patches contained F F acres and the net returns, over shipping expenses were $64S4.OO.
 MT. Murphy's Cantaloupe patch con- taIned { 1-10 acres and produced 1733 crates of melons, an average of PA crates to the acre. After the cost of supplies freight charges and com missions had been deducted, the sell ing price was $3623O6 The expenses of growing and harvesting were S6S3.34. leaving d net profit to Mir Murphy of S2989.72. or s412,64 per
 The Glendale Land companv's patch comprised 4-1O acres and the production was 1860 crates. The aver age was 2j1S crates an acre.
 The net returns were S2S6112 and as the cost of production and harvest ing was only 56OOO, the company realized clear profit of s23O0.92. This amounts to S426.10 per acre.
 Had MT. Murphy and the Glendale company come their own work as thp ordinary farmer does. their profits would have been even higher. Both hired their planting. irrigating and harvesting done. Of course. one man could not do all the harvesting alone, but Mir. Murphy estimates that had he done as much of the work as one man could do his profits would have been Sl24.2O more while the Glendale Land company would have realized s143.60 additional had it been an in- dividual farmer doing his own work.
 No, these two patches on which Il had charge are not representative of the entire district" said MT Murphy. in reply to a question. They were probably the best patches in that sec tion. Our soil was exactly right and market conditions were favorable. We raised some very high grade melons and obtained the best prices paid dur ing the season. One car of standard grade cantaloupes which we shipped to Boston. sold for $5.35 per crate. This was the highest price we re- ceived.
 As a whole. the members of the association cleared about S10O per acre, which is high considering the fact that much of the acreage was poor Some of the land used for the growing of CantalOupcs was wholly unsuited to that purpose and the yield therefrom was very light

ENGINE DRIVER FORBES
 BURNED IN EXPLOSION
Was lighting Powder, Which Blew Up
 and Caught Him.

Engine Driver James Forbes of the Phoenix fire department had a narrow escape from very serious injury yes terday fornoon as the result of d pc culiar accident. As it is, his face is badly burned and his hair and eye brows badly singed.
 In igniting the fire under the boiler of the steamer. there is employed an ordinary shell from a shotgun, loaded with powder and cap. The pulling of a string releases a hammer which falls upon the cap, exploding it and ignit- ing the powder, which in turn ignites the fuel in the firebox. A quantity of these shells are constantly kept on hand. They have always been kept in a pasteboard box which was placed on a shelf in a cupboard
Arizona republican., 1910-09-02

Yesterday it was found that mice had been gnawing at the shells and had eaten through the outside of sev- eral of them exposing the powder. In order to prevent further depredations. Forbes decided to destroy the damaged shells and secure a tin box for the new ones. Accordingly he spread the damaged shells upon box and touched a match to them.
 In an instant there was a binding flash and Forbes fell backward. dazed and suffering from the smart O. bad burn. He was aware that the powder would flare up as soon as the match touched it, but had underestimated the distance the flame would likely ex- tend.

.FOR PROTECTION
 OF THE LEssEEs
Resolutions Approved by Candidates
 For Constitutional Convention.

The holders of school lands in this county are sure that their interests will be protected in the constitu- tional convention, whatever party may send the delegates. There was an adjourned meeting of the lessees yesterday attended by about one hundred Of them. Most of the candi- dates of both Iarties were present and pledged themselves to labor for the protection of the holders in all their rights which they have ac- quired by years of industry.
 The Labor Party was represented by a resolution.
 The pledge of the candidates came in the form of an endorsement of the following resolution:
 Whereas. the congress of the United States by its act, being chap ter 95, Fifty fourth congress. first session, approved April :, 1896. gave to the territory Of Arizona the priv ilege of leasing school lands within said territory; and whereas said ter ritory under authority of an act of tH' fSlSldluTe or lc9' reldtlnS to the leasing of school lands. has leased many of such school lands upon the terms. subject to the conditions and with the rights and privileges set out in said legislative act of 1897.
 Now, therefore, 1t is further re solved that 1t is the sense of this meeting that the constitutional con vention of Arizona should make suit able provision for the complete pro lection of those now holding leases on these school lands. so that they shall be secured to them full com nenSafinn r.r their rrpdecpSsnre in in
