Leaves Benson
To Locate in
Mining Camp

Nicholas Martinez. who for sew
eral years has been engaged in bus
mess in Benson, sold out this week
to Mr.. Eduardo Martinez and is
closing up his affairs preparatory
to removing to Mineral Hill, near
Twin Buttes, where he will engage
in business. For some time past
he has been contemplating this
move, as he and his brothers have
mining property in that locality
which require his attention.
"Nick" has been lifelong resi-
dent of this community and is we'll
known and highly respected by
all.
Besides being accompanied by
his wife and baby son, his mother,
Mrs. Loretto Martinez, will also
probably go with him to the new
location.
His successor, Eduaro Martinez,
IS the son of Dario Martinez, q
well-known cattleman living near
Meseal. He is we'll known and we'll
liked in Benson and many friends
wish him much success in his new
venture.

in regard to teparies:
''The tepary bean is one of the

there is but little water for irriga-
tion purposes. Many people have
stated that they prefer these to any
other kind of beans; and some who

the teparies are the most palatable
kind of beans"
, The method of cooking has much
to do with their palatableness, the
bes, way being to boil in two wa
ters, drain and add boiling water
for the finish, seasoning with salt,
butter and cream.
Tepary beans are strictly an

1OAdd New Food
. Product to the
Worlds Market

Professor Stanley F. Morse oI
the University Of Arizona agricul-
1ural extension service and state
representative of the U. s. Depart
ment of Agriculture, was in town
Tuesday. He is concerned with
every phase of sArizona's agricul.
tural development, and such being
the case, was naturally interested
in Benson's new canning factory,
now nearing completion. He made
. visit to the plant and expressed
himself as thoroughly pleased with
the building plans and the methods
thst will be adopted in conducting
the business as outlined to him by
Manager J. w. Dixon.
Professor Morse brought to the
attention Of Mr.. Dixon the merits
of the tepary bean as canning
product, one so new that az mar
ketable commodity it's value is al
most unknown except in a few
Arizona commu mites where it has
been grown upon small scale. As
proof of it's value as a food product
Professor Morse stated that the
large cannery of the Van Camps,
we'll. known throughout the coun-
try, had given the beans try-out
with excellent results; said that it
!. y found that the same weight
of teparies would produce a fourth
more in bulk when canned than
the ordinary white navy beans.

pressed with the proposition and it

Want Daily Mail Service
Santa Cruz Patagonian: Why is
it that thousand people, more or
less, living between Fairbank and
Nogales, are denied their Sunday
mail Is it the fault of the govern~
ernment, the fault of the mail con-
tractor, or does the fault lie with
the people themselves ? There is
certainly reason for this miscar-
riage of public necessity. 1t is
robably safe to say that there is
not another section in the United
States with as many bona fide resi-
dents as are living in this territory
but what receives mail at least once
daily for every day in the week.
Years ago, up to the time Of

was very satisfactory to con-

But since the completion of the

is its handling OF the mail intoler-
able, but its transportation facilities

Benson's points were all won by
William Etz, who took first place
in the low hurdles and shot put,
second in the high hurdles and
third in the discus throw.
On Friday afternoon trial heats
in the ioo-yard and 22o-yard dash
and both hurdle races were pulled
off.
Claude Sipes ran fine race in
the 22o-yard dash, but owing to
lack of opportunity for practice
failed to place. If Sipes trains for
this event next year it will taBe a
faster man than any present at
this years contest to take it from
him.
Charles Powell ran the hund red,
and finished close behind the win
ners in good time.
The first victory for Benson
came IN the trial heats of the high
hurdles. Etz took the first heat in
II seconds, almost twenty yards
ahead of his nearest opponent, with
out breaking his stride once. A
small dog running across the track
in front of him provided an extra
obstacle in this race Half an hour
later he also won his heat in the
22o-yard low hurdle race in 28 Sec
onds.
Marler, OF Phoenix, ran his trial
heat in the high hurdles in II I S
seconds, ard the low in Fl rs sec
onds; SO every one expected a close
race between Etz and Marler in
both. The high hurdle race on
Saturday afternoon fully came up
to the expectations Of the fans"
Marler, an athlete with four years
experience behind him, got away
from the mark almost two yards
ahead of Etz, but the latter's bet
ter form in clearing the fences and
steadier, more uniform stride be-
tween obstacles soon brought him
even, and at the finish line Mar
ler head was about two inches
ahead of "Bill's,' although they
breasted the tape even. So it was
Marler's gold medal, in the best
race seen at the University in
years.
Dewey Sabin took fourth place
in the broad jump, and should have
had at least second, but the toe OF
his shoe touched the ground about
an inch in front OF the mark, so his
best jump didn't count. He jumped
10 feet 10 inches, and the winner
of first place only 10 feet 1o4 in
| ches, so great hopes are entertain
ed for FIRST place in this event
next year. This was Dewey's first
meet, and he did better than ex =.
pected.
The next Benson victory was in
the shot put, in which Etz won first,
Martinez fourth and Mendevil sixth
place, from field of twenty -oue
contestants. Etz broke the state
record by 81 inches, getting the
shot out Al feet, 81 inches.
In the discus throw Etz got

luck, as they certainly didn't have
