CHAPTER XVII.

OiNPIBN NNNII.
HNHAT dry season saw the beginning
i of drought that will long hold the
blacklist page in the annals of the San
Francisco basin. 1t seemed but days after
the rains when the sparse grass and new
leafed bushes OF the wilderness began TO
shrlvel UP. Day after day the sun leaped
brazen, from the horizon to the sky, his
first level rays searching out the scant,
stored moisture of wilted foliage, and the
very sap OF the hardy brush. While the
cattle were still fat they became weak and
turned to cactus for nourishment They
,roke down the sickly branches with
their horns and rubbed them in the sand
to free them of the worst of the thorns.

Best OF all, men are coming to realize
this fact and are not only willing but
eager to call women into consultation,
and to be guided, to a great extent, by
their suggestions and plans.

SHERIFF WHEELER OUT
LINES HIS PLAT
FORM

In announcing myself candi-
date for reelection to the office of
Sheriff, believe the people have
the right to demand of me a COM
plete knowledge of the personal
platform in which [ believe, and
which | intend to maintain and up
hold if re- elected.
1st. Because since the advent
of prohibition all usual crime has
deminished, murder and all serious
crime by one half, and because the
banks have more dcpositors, the
merchants fewer unpaid bills, the
mines fewer accidents, because of
these facts l believe in a better
and more comprehensive prohibit
tion law A law free of techni-
calities, one which can really be
enforced by our local officers.
2nd. I believe the old duffy"
gambling law should be restored.
The "Dufry" law actually pro-
,hibited gambling IN ALL FORMS.
1t was repealed through the in
fuence of those who favor gamb-
ling, and the present law given US
instead. The present law Is not
even called gambling a gambling
law; but is referred to in the stat
utes a Gaming law, in other
words, only certain games are pro-
hibited, not all games.
3rd. | believe in enforcement
of all law, and that law may be
really enforced, / believe the peo-
pie should demand of the coming
legislature, laws which really
mean those things the people wish,
and actually desire and intend.
Laws free from all legal catches,
quibbles, and tecnicalities, which
destroy and defeat the people S
will. l am told this platform will
will defeat me, this may be true,

still I do not care to win on any
other. 1 intend to run this race
under true colors.
While all the men opposing me
are good men, | offer the following
reasons, which I believe justify me
in seeking this Office.
Ist. During these times of trou-
BILE along the border, an experience
ed sheriff should not be changed.
1t took me three to attain my
best efficiency, likewise it took my
deputies the same period to learn
the country, the criminals, and
also to acquaint themselves with
officers of other states, including
Sonnra, and TO form frienships
with these foreign officials.
2nd. Due to a great extent to
the personal friendship of higher
Sonora officials, especial care has
been given our County by said Off
cials, Cochise county is the one
border county so far free of bandit
raids or molestation.
3rd. My last years expenses
showed decrease Of seven thou>
sand dollars over the previous year
and we kept under Our estimated
| budged three thousand dollars
less than Maricopa county.
4th. The State Examiner in his
report said of my Office "Itis prob
ably the best kept Office in the
state".
5th. In four years, of fifty cap
ltal offenders, but seven have es-
capped, while Cochise county is the
only county from the Coaot to
Texas which has not permanently
lost one automobile by theft.
9th. l will not be canqidate
next election for this Office, |
therefore ask my friends, who gave
me nearly four to one majority
last election, without the loss of a
single precinct, to again support
me>in this my last race.
Respectfully, Harry c. Wheeler.
Call on me tor your gasoline, dis
tillate and lubricating oils. c. F.

Mr. Van Auken, of the H ST
ings Industrial Co, +, Chicago, who
put in the cannery plant, in ak.
ing over the matter with a repre-
sentative of the Sigma, said,
'You have great opportunity
here. One which with the proper
spirit behind it will bring d large
measure Of prosperity to the whole
community. A great deal depends
upon the spirit behind the move
ment. Put the book of wisdom of
all ages in a blind mans hand and
he will derive no benefit; give it to
an alert, up to date bunch Of
boosters as you have here, and
there is every possibility.
"This canning factory will fur
nish labor, will pay good returns
to tie farmer and stockholder,
bring more cash into town, and
widely advertise Benson. Although
this year has been hard on toma-
toes, there are enough to give a fair
run. With an ordinary year,
good acreage and prevailing prices
the factory will be the most help
ful institution in town.
"You can grow tomatoes here
and good ones. Your product is
superior in quantity and quality
to that of the, east; the season
longer and the plants here more
productive.
This factory will not stop with
tomatoes alone. Iu another year
beans, sweet potatoes and pump
kins will be handled.
"Then, last but not least, is the
fact that the entire output can be
disposed Of locally. In many Of
the factories I have visited the
output is shipped to a long dis
tance market, hut you. have here
at your very door market and
good price. Now combine with
these conditions the good sense Of
your farmers and the ordinary
, business force, and you cannot
help buG make a successful plant.
with tremendous benefits to your
whole community"
Mr.. Van Auken probably visits
in the interest of his firm more
factories, creameries and dairies
Than any one in the United States,
and SO is fully competent to speak
on this subject. He earnestly as
sures us that his firm desires to
cooperate with the local plant to
bring about the largest measure
of success

BENSON CANNERY READY FOR WORK
Building and Machinery All in Readiness to Begin, Put
ting up the Seasons Crop

The coming week will mark the
beginning Of Beoson as an indus
trial center, when the new canning
factory, the first it is hoped of a
series of industrial establishments,
will begin operations. Everything
is ready for the st2rt, with the
exception of the material to work
on, and that will begin coming in
within the uext few days. Then
the factory will commence the sea-
sons run.
On the face Of things the prop
osition certainly looks encourag-
ing, the canning and disposing of
the local crops of tomatoes, beans,
pumpkins and other vegetables for
which this valley is we'll adapted.
The factory will have a rush
capacity of some twenty-five hun
dred dozen cans per day, and will
employ about fifty hands. The
output will not fail of finding ready
disposal. Firms in Phoenix and
Ell Paso are clamoring in advance
for a contract for the entire out
put. With the present price above
the dollar mark it can readily be
seen that the factory in operation
will put an amount of money into
circulation that will aid materially N
in promoting good times.
In regard to the supply of raw
material, probably tomatoes and
beans for the present seasons pack,
some of the farmers have shown a
disposition to hold off, But an es-
innate will show that, under fav-
orable conditions, the returns per
acre are not so bad. An acre is
scheduled to grow some six thous-
and plants, yielding an average Of
eight pounds per plant, with min
imum production of twenty four
tons per acre. At the price that
is paid for tomatoes, 5000 per ton,
this brings the amount received
per acre to $4,000. This should
be fairly attractive proposition
to all who are situated to grow this
crop. Beans, peas, pumpkins, or
whatever else the factory may res
quire, should do equally as we'll
under proper conditions. AS the
best methods are learned and the
growing and producing become
better understood, sufficient
quantity will no doubt be grown
TO supply a much larger capacity.

ARM OF A MAN FOUND
BENEATH RAILWAY
COACH

A mans arm, mangled almos
beyond recognition, was discov-
cred lodged upon brakebeam o.
passenger train To1 when it pulled
into the Benson station about SIX
O'Clock Tuesday morning. The
grewsome discovery was made by
Car Inspector J. w. Gull It was
a right arm, badly mangled and
stripped bare of all clothing, with
the skin of part of the body at
tached. The arm was put into a
recepticle and taken on to Tue
son on the same train.
At the investigation there it de-
Veloped that man by the name
of Johnson, foreman of a grading
outfit at Mongolia, small station
between Deming and Lordsburg,
had met death in some unexplained
way while walking the track, and
the supposition was advanced that
the arm found might have been
Johnson's
The last seen of Foreman John
son, known to have been killed,
was when he left passenger train
and was seen walking along the
tr ack near Mongolia. It is under
stood that part of Johnson's body

identification and preparation for
burial

it now developes that the upper
portion of the mans body was pick
ed up By a steel bar under the
baggage car of west bound pas
senger train and carried until it
was discovered at Benson.
At the time the badly mutilated
right arm and portion of skin
was found on the truck Of the
baggage car, there was mystery
and uncertainty as to the identity
of the victim, the first SUPPOSE
tion being that some unknown hobo
had met a violent death while
beating his way westward.
Then came the news of the death
of Johnson at Mongolia, N. NJ,
and when all parts of the man. 8
body was recovered, it was discov
cred that the arm taken off the
passenger train az Benson and
brought on to Tucson early yes
terday morning was a part Of the
foreman's remains.
The deceased was not employed
bv the Southern Pacific company
but was in the service of the J. M.
Pacheco Contracting Co., through
whom he handled sublet contracts
for the railroad. A brother who
resides in Tucson accompanied the
portion of his brothes's remains
held here East today.
Earl Johnson, a telegraph oper~
ator for the Southern Pacific, who
at one time worked at Mescal,
nine miles west of Benson, is a
brother of the man who was killed
near Lordsburg and to whom the
arm found here undoubtedly be-
longed.

Only Once In Five Years Does Average
