THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY
 NOW COMING ID THE FRONT
SUGAR THE WoRL IS NOW EXTRACTED FROM THE REETs-DEMAND IS CONTINUALLY INCREASING AS
 THERE IS DANGER OF OVER PRODUCTION YEARS, THE INTERESTED

from beets which has grown from 72,- 000,000 pounds in 1899 to nearly 1,200,- O00,000 pounds in the present year, an increase of over 160 per cent
 At the present time the beet-sugar industry is established in seventeen of the United States, with seventy-one factories in operation and several oth- CTS in course of construction.
 Half a million acres are planted to sugar beets, and $45,OOO,OOO year is distributed to farmers, laborers, trans portation companies and sellers of supplies in the operations connected with the making of beet sugar.
 How far this from representing the sugar-producing capacity of the coun- try is shown by the fact that the area estimated by the Department of Agri- culture as adapted to sugar-beet grow ing comprises roundly 275,OO0,OOO acres, and that the use of one acre in every 200 of this area for beet culture would enable us to produce all the sugar we now import.
Arizona sentinel and Yuma weekly examiner., 1912-09-12

The Examiner article on the beet sugar industry which appeared last Saturday has created a world of inter est and is live topic of conversation on the streets. And it is self-evident that when some of the live interest crystalizes Yuma will be good for at least one beet sugar refinery and that in the not far distant future.
 Beet sugar making is fast becoming a. leading industry in Arizona and the west generally, and although the growing of sugar beets, from which more than half of all the sugar used in the world is now extracted, has been encouraged for a century in Europe, it was not until twenty years ago that it began to be seriously attempted in the United States, and only within the past decade has it risen to a position of commercial importance. How rapid the growth of the industry has been in recent years is shown by the in crease in he amount of sugar produced

CAMPA TELLS B|SbEE PAPER
 STOP PUBLISHING WAR NEWS
WILLIAM LGeETT OF cANANEA WAS UNWILLNeLY MADE THE MESSENGER TELL THE BIssEE REVIEW TO STATES HE IS CONDUCTING MANLY WAR;" TAKING PROVISIONS AND ARMS

BISBEE, Sept. 9.-The latest devel- opment in the Mexican situation is a verbal message direct from General Campa to the Bisbee Daily Review, the gist of which is that the Review better "cut out' it's war news. Will jam Liggett of Cananea was unwill- inly made the messenger for this bit of news.
 Liggett left Naco about BOO o'clock yesterday afternoon in an automobile for Cananea. AS he rounded a spur of the mountain just out of Naco he ran into a crowd of rebels driving a number of horses MT. Liggett lost no time in speeding up and getting away from the band, but in so doing, when making another turn, ran into another crowd of rebels with General Campa. There was no chance to es- cape. He was held up and questioned regarding the situation at Naco ana Cananea.
 During the conversation Campa took a copy of Fridays Bisbee Daily Review from his pocket and read to Liggett the news of that issue of the Review

generally. We know that in all mat ters like this it is necessary to pro ceed slowly. We have studied the con
 ditions among girls and women in in
 dustry and know the suffering, misery crime and vice that are produced by a wage hat is insufficient to enable a grl or woman to keep body and soul together n surroundings of ordinary de- cency
 "Mr Wlson's fears that the employ CTS of those women, if obliged to pay them proper scale, would reduce all ther other employees to that same min- imum wage, are groundless. The en- ployers who now pay employees a starv- ation wage prove by that fact that they are paying all their employees the very least they can get them to take. It is needless apprehension to believe they would reduce them to a minimum only if the minimum for the poorest paid were raised above starvttion point It is an objection of the school room and will not have weight with those who know what life is.
 'T believe that MT Wilson, whose sincerity of conviction I do not ques- tion, has been misled by the fact that he has gotten from laws laid down by political economists who wrote when conditions were utterly differ ent.
 'T want to point out that Mr. Wilson and the democrats are not really pro, gressive They show a queer kind of toryism in the way they stand for the states rights.

and pronounced the account false.
 Tell those people over there to cut it out" declared the General, ''We are conducting a manly warfare here and are taking nothing but provisions and munitions of war We are not molest- ing women at any place and I have ordered six men shot who attempted to molest women"
 The scene, of the holdup was the old dry farm, and while Liggett was virtually prisoner, rebels raided the dry farm, confiscating all the food stuffs, horses and ammunitions.
 Some of the rebels debated what was best to do with 'Leggitt and one suggested that they confiscate the au- tomobile when Campa declared that if Liggett or his property was molested someone would suffer for it.
 Liggett did not ask Campa how he came to have copy of the Review on the same day of it's publication. He was in a hurry to reach Cananea and after a half hour of QuiZZing and a lecture by Campa, was allowed to de- part, reaching his destination about 2 o'clock in the evening.

THE LATEST DO|NGS
 IN THE JUSTICE COURT

The greater part of yesterday was devoted to the trial of the case of Gandolfo vs. Greenleaf, in which John Gandolfo sues Sheriff Greenleaf for $100 This is the sum in which Clerk Wilson was indebted to the Gandolfo Hotel at the time of absconding, and at the time the effects were siezed by the Sheriff on attachment by E. F. Sanguinetti The value of Wilson's effects was not equal to MT. Sanguin- ettt's bill and there was nothing left for MT. Gandolfo. The latter however claims that he as good or better right to $100 of the Wilson property and on this claim bases his suit

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 9.-Wood. row Wilson's criticism of the Progress sive minimum wage plank was charac- terized by Colonel Roosevelt, in a speech here today, as purely acad- emic."
 "It is an objection of the school room and it will not have any weight with any who know what life actually is," he said.
 Colonel Roosevelt's day here began with an automobile parade and he was warmly received. His speech was de liVered from the balcony of the Mason ic temple to a densely packed mass of people who cheered him for several minutes.
 Of the republican national conven- tion he said: They thought they could steal the nomination and we would grumble for a while and then lie down. They picked the wrong man. The next time they try It, they had better pick the men they hold up.
 But I'm not going to discuss the republican party" the Colonel went on, "as I never discuss dead folks"
 Colonel Roosevelt then turned to the minimum wage plank. Governor Will son, he said, had condemned this pro- posal
 "He states" said the Colonel, that he is utterly against this plank for various reasons, among them because he thinks employers, if such a law is enacted, would reduce the wages of their employers to the minimum pre- scribed by law. Such fear is ground less. We do not, at the moment, take up the question of a minimum wage
