 The place of the next meeting was left in the hands of the executive com mittee, it being suggested that the as- sociation meet at the Grand Canyon next summer. Heretofore all meetings have been in Phoenix, on account of it's accessibility and the advantages of entertainment and low fares offered by the Arizona fair.

Why Not Have a
 Sugar Factory?
CFrom the Daily EXaminer)

CFrom the Daily Examiner
 H. c. Hester, of Karr, Hester and Speese was in, town last night, and talking to the Examiner he stated that there was one thing that the Yu- ma valley needed and that was sug- ar beet factory.
 MT. Hester says there is no reason why the Yuma people should not have a sugar beet facory here, as the land in the Yuma valley will produce just as good or better sugar beets than the land around Glendale, near Phoe- nix, where the present sugar beet fac tory is located.
 MT. Hester undoubtedly knows whereof he speaks, and it would be a good thing if the Commercial Club or a body of Yuma business men could get together and make a move to SC cure factory for Yuma or to inter- est capital into coming here and start ing one.
 MT. Hester has always been one of Yuuma's staunchest boosters, and he would no doubt be willing to get in and help boost with the Yuma busi- ness men for the location of a factory at this point.

Earl B. Smith, Yuma County's next superior court clerk, had the misfor- tune about two or three weeks rgo to be thrown from a horse which resulted in badly sprained knee.
 The knee has since been in sp.ints but MT. Smith to-day notified the Ex- aminer that he hoped to be around in about another week. at which time he would begin his active campaign
 He also asked the Examiner to ex- plain why he had not heen around among the voters ere this.
 At the time of the mishap the news was published in this paper. but at that time it was not thought that Nr. Smith would be laid up as long as he has.

Ten Thousand For Auto
 Road Race to Phoenix

Bert C. Smith, in the Los Angeles Times of yesterday says:
 len thousand dollars for the Phoe- nix road race the CCm!ne year. That is the mark for the prize for the winning car in 1912, if prominent automobile men and scores of Phoenix autoists have their way. The race was an im- mense success. The fast cars were sent across the desert sands, cutting down the time between this city and Phoenix by the route chosen for the national highway.
 When Harvey Herrick finished with the National in twenty hours and 23 minutes thousands of spectators were thrilled and then enthused. The time was remarkable The national high way problem had been solved and the prominent men of Phoenix had been won over for the greatest road race ever held
 With 100000 spectators at the start and with 10000 excited and cheering Arizonians watching the finish, the Phoenix road race has proved to the world that it is the greatest sport classic of the day.
 From one end of the 542 mile course to the other the throngs in the cities kept tab on the flying cars.
 The above from the pen of Mr. Smith shows that interest in the big race has just started, and the follow ing letters received by Dr. J. A. Ketch- erside, president of the Yuma Automo- bile Association, shows that our neigh bors in the Imperial Valley have also woke up and that next year it be- hooves Yuma and the Imperial valley to see that the roads are just twice as fast as, they were this year.
 The letters follow:

THE ADULTERATION WAR

Nearly five years have elapsed

A. G. Woodman an authority on

Over twenty laboratories have

Over 600 bulletins Of the results

tion about foods rev ived and
strengthened.
Mr.. W)oinan concludes that
in many cases there is gross
disparity between the crime and
the penalty: the sellers and
producers need respect for this law
supremely; and that the people
should think on these matters and

SWITCH LOCK INVENTED
BY GEORGE MARSHALL

A switch which cannot be left
unlocked is boon for which nearly
every railroad in the United States
has been looking. both as a measure
of economy as well as of safety. 1t
is the rule of the roads now that
switch when turned must be locked,
before brakeman leaves it; but il
is rule that is held in the breach
as often as in. the observance. 1t
is not always possible to trace the
neglect to the proper source; for a
key can be slipped out Of lock
without locking switch thereby
exposing train to danger.
George Marshall, conductor on
the day run of the Ely-McGnl
suburban, is the inventor of a
patent which fits the bill, and
which makes it impossib to
remove the key from lock unless
the switch be locked without
breaking the key. A brakeman
who shows up before the super in
tendent of the road with a broken
key, might as we'll have his resigna-
ton with him. The new contrivance
has been tried out and has proved
a success. and Mr.. Marshall has
applied for letters of patent.
The combination lock and key is a
little thing but it is the little
things that count in this life,
making up the big things. I'm
doubtedly there will be big demand
for the article; and Mr.. Marshall
and E. X. Hutchinson. lwho is as
sociated with the inventor, having
put the invention in proper shape
for the patent attorneys and for
the shop, are going to have made
model of the lock and switch.
When tbs is perfected they will be
in position to do business with
anyone, and will then look after
the commercial end of the enter
prise White Pine News.

GOLD CREEK MINE

We are informed bv MIR. Andy

Gold Creek Iron Mountain Mining
and Milling Company has been
perfected and that Salt Lake and
Canadian capitalists are heavily
interested. MIR. Burk and Mr..
Charles Skaggs. however. have
retained substantial holdings and
will have charge of the erection and
operation of the plant at Gold
Creek.
The purchase of lumber for i'm
mediate delivery for b oarding
house, bunk houses and mill has
been made from local dealers.
The machinery, pipe line
scrapers, wagons and otfe er &C.
cessories will be shipped from Salt
Lake on or about the first of April.
The mill building must be ready
for the machinery not later than
the 10th of April.
The mill is the Dyke system,
consisting of crusher and tables
Of fifty tons daily capacity. AID.
proximately forty men will be
employed and the output of the
mill will be ten tons daily in con.
centrates, the value of which is
estimated to he 500 per ton. The
hauling of the concentrates will
require three ten-ho rse teams.
This enterprise will place around
$4,000 per month in the channels
of trade in Elko. The opening
OF the Gold Greek mines will give
an impetus to the mining industry
in this county and its Importance
to Elko cannot be over estimated.

S. H. Wells. former county COM
missioner and a leading citizen of
Moapa valley, passed through Lac
Vegas Wednesday bearing to his
neighbors the joyful trdings that
the board of directors of the Sa!i
Lake railroad had authorized the
building of a branch line from
Moapa to Logan, l3 miles down the
valley.
Un1er the argeement reached
with the railroad company he
people of the valley are to provide
the right of way and build the
station at Logan. The right of
way has already been secured and
the new railroad is nearly COM
pleted three miles out of Moapa to
the gypsum beds, leaving only ten
more miles to construct. The
company promises to have the
branch completed in time to handle
the sea' on's cantaloupe crop from
the valley.
The distance from Moapa to ST.
Thomas is approximately 25 miles
therefore the construction of the
railroad will reduce the wagon
haul from the lower end of the
valley more than one-half. Logan
and Overton ranches arc practi-
cally contiguous, though the post
Offices are some five miles apart.

A KINDLY ACT

Governor Oddie has signed the
bill which permits the child en- of
the Orphans Home to attend the
public school in this city and this a
measure which will result in more
good to the unfortunate children
than anything else that could hap
pen.
Ii has been noticed that when
the children of the Orphans Home
were awav from the Orphanage
that they appeared very shy and
backward and this was occasioned
wholly and solely by the fact that
the children had not the ,pportun-
ity to mix with other children and
to see more of the life that is due
each and every child. The child
ren in attending the public school
will be enabled to mix with the
more fortunate children and will
have the advantages of association
and of the comradeship of children
of their own age and will profit
thereby.
1t has long been noticed that the
children of this city are especially
kind to the children of the Home
and try in all ways to make their
life easier for them.
The children of the Orphans
Home within year will be upon
par with the students of the school
and 1t will be impossible to distin-
guish them by their bearing from
those whose days were spent in the
enjoyment of happy homes. Car
