The Sugar Beet Industry.
Several years ago the sugar beet industry was taken
up by the people of the Pecos valley section In Eastern
New Mexico, and a big sugar mill was moved from
Milwaukee to Carlsbad, where It did successful service
for one or two seasons. But front some cause or other,
the production of sugar beets suddenly ceased In the
Pecos valley, and after standing idle for a few years,
the big sugar fat lory at Carlsbad was destroyed by
fire.
The memory of the successful production of sugar
beets has evidently still lingered In that portion of New
Mexico, for recently there has been a revival of beet
sugar talk that covers all of the Eastern portion of the
territory that Is susceptible of Irrigation, and contracts
are being made for the planting of sugar beets and
the building of sugar factories. At I’ortalcs the plan
Is as follows:
The sugar company takes a mortgage on the farm-
er's land for 360 per acre payable In twenty years and
drawing Interest at 0 per cent and Issues to him a like
amount of preferred stock In the sugar factory guar-
anteed to pay 6 per cent dividend counter balance*
the interest on the mortgage, so the farmer has In
reality no interest to pay on said mortgage. The su-
gar company binds Itself to pay off this $60 per acre
mortgage at the end of twenty years and have the
mortgage released without any expense whatever to
the farmer. This preferred stork Is held permanently
by the farmer and continues to pay him « per cent
dividends.
Upon the execution of the above mortgage in favor
of the sugar company the company will put down a
surface well and Install a pumping plant for the farmer,
paying for the-same; or where a farmer has good land
with, water on it. the company will make him a loan
to the approximate amount of what would be expended
for a well and pumping plant in case he had no water.
The money thus expended upon the farmer’s land or
loaned him Is to be repaid to the company In twenty
equal annual payments without Interest.
The farmer agrees to grow the sugar beets under
the supervision of an experienced superintendent fur-
nished and paid by the sugar company to the extent
of thirty acres out of 160, or fifteen out of eighty acres,
for the period of this contract of twenty years, for
which the company contracts to pay the regular mar-
ket prlro.
Now. the signing up of 32.000 acres, the nmount
required under the proposition* means, putting approx-
imately this whole amount of dry land under water am!
cultivation: It means 6,000 acres of sugar beets (the
company will. In addition, sign up 4.000 aercs more far
the growing of beets with the farmer who Is already
on his feet and In operation paying the regular market
price for the same, as the company must have 10,000
acres In beets to justify a factory). It means the build-
ing of a sugar factory at a cost of $1,500,000, using
1,000 tons of beets per day and employing 460 laborers;
It means the Introduction Into this locality of the most
profitable agrleultural crop that the farmers can grow,
doubling the net returns of alfalfa with one-half the
water; It means making unproductive and almost worth-
less land productive and valuable; it means the sugar
company and the farmer working hand In hand, the
company putting up the money and putting the farmer
on hi* feet, and the farmer helping the sugar company
by furnishing beets to be worked up Into sugar.
spent In field work, nor does the state appropriate any-
thing for such purposes. This discovery, so Import-
ant for the farming Interests of the state, remains un-
developed. It would require both time and money to
Investigate the different localities Involved, hut nothing
•can be dope, owing to an entire lack of funds.
"The same situation maintains In regard to nltrtfe
of soda. Deposits of this valuable material have been
found in Presidio county, where there Is abundant wa-
ter within three miles. This deposit has been known
for several years and It Is also known that It exists on
the lands of the public school fund. It has been pros-
pected to some extent and material of excellent quality
hah been uncovered.
"But the bureau Is In ignorance of the extent of
the field, the thickness of the workable beds and tho
local conditions affecting the mining and treatment
"Aside from certain deposits of nitrate of soda In
Death \ alley. California, which do Jiot seem to be ac-
cessible now, there Is no other locality In the Unitcrf
Slates as promising as this locality In Presidio county,
according to Director Phillips. All of the nitrate of
soda of commerce comes from Chile. This country has
a monopoly of jfce industry. The Texas deposits may-
or may not be of commercial Importance, but while
little Is known concerning them this little Is decidedly
encouraging.
"The sulphur deposits of El Paso county, described
In Bulletin No. 2, of the university mineral survey,
1902, long since out of print, are attracting attention
now. But there Is no publication on the subject nor
a dollar than can be spent In acquiring fresh Informa-
tion or reprinting old rJfrorts.
"Here are three subjects of great commercial pos-
sibilities: Phosphate rock, nitrate of soda and sulphur,
Many requests are belhg received concerning them but
there are no publications that can be sent out.
“If the mineral resources of Texas are to he Inves-
tigated and advertised, ,it must be through state aid.
Private Investigations are not for public use.
"It Is to be hoped that Governor Colquitt will throw
the weight of his Influence for an appropriation. Texas
has vast fields of undeveloped wealth and our lawmak-
ers should he willing lo vote the money for the devel-
opment of these phosphate beds. A vast bed of phos-
phate In Montana, recently discovered by the geolo-
gists of the federal government, was saved for tho
people by tho prompt action of President Taft.”
Caused Considerable Damage to
New County Road
Blocking Legislation.
The prohibition ^majority In the Texas senate is
making no friends for its cause by their Illogical, un-
dignified and wholly unjustified filibustering. Their
action rnay provqke reprisals and will certainly drive
from their cause men who desire to see the plans and
policies of Governor Colquitt carried out, or at least
given a trial.
Valuable time Is being lost In the adoption of pro-
gressive measures and the money of the taxpayers is
being wantonly wasted by the left-overs In the senate
and their tactics rbr delaying tho work of the legisla-
ture.
Remedial legislation ns well as constructive legis-
lation Is needed and that without delay to start Texas
upon a new era of growth, and any man or men who
deliberately and for personal spite or petty political
purpose obstruct the orderly conduct of business in
either branch of the legislature will be held respon-
sible and will be punished by those of their own fac-
tion who appreciate tho necessity of greater things
pertaining to the development of Texas.
The believers in prohibition have a majority in ths
house, but their actions are In striking contrast to thoso
of the senate. The reason Ib not far to serje. The mem-
bers of the house were all elected last year and fresh
from the people, inspired by the desire to work for
Texas and having a dun regard for the wishes and In-
terests of their constituents, havo gone to work In a
business-like way.
In the senate there are many hold-overs, filled with
a penchant for freak legislation. Imbued with Camp-
belllsm. holding In contempt the wishes of the people,
regardless of the needs of the state, who will go to
any^dengths of foolishness and aslnlnlty for spltefulnesj
and fanaticism. These have the power to clog the
progress of legislation and are doing it at the cost of
the state’s Interests and the taxpayers.
"There are many ways of committing suicide;" said
a Texas statesman, the other day. "and thla is one of
them;” a fact which the hold-overs will discover to
their dismay when too late.

Ysleta, Tex., Jan. 20.—A big waih-
out occurred in the county road be-
tween Ysleta and Socorro during
Wednesday night by the breaking of
the banks of the Franklin canal.
About one-haif of the new road for
a distance of seventy-five feet waa
washed out. Will Davis was on the
job at day break and by night Thurs-
day he had the road in such shape
that It could be used. Davis at-once
ordered a car of rock and the road
will soon be In good shape again.
Tuesday Keys Ochoa of the Ysleta
Meat and Supply company, was up
before Judge Folx on the charge of
selling uninspected meat He ad-
mitted that he had sold the beef.
Mot claimed that the county commis-
sioner's court had no right to pass
a law to have his meat inspected and
make him pay the inspector. The
Jury was al! from Missouri and could
not give a decision without the law,
so the case was continued till Thurs-
day to give the court a chance to get
a cop/ of the law to show the gentle-
men from Missouri, and after the
judge read the law, the jury took
the case and returned a verdict of not
guilty.
An unusual sight at this time of
the year Is an apricot tree In full
bloom In the yard of the Yslota Hotel.

Mrs. Whiteside, wife of United

in San Elfzarto when after leaving

and dropped down throwing up tho
hind end of the wagon spilling MBs.
Whiteside, her two children and her

rule, will be 55 cents, a saving to the
shipper of 33 per cent. The an-
nouncement follows:
“A decision was reached today by
the principal express companies
which is of far reaching importance.
Instead of two companies which may
handle an express package making
a separate charge on each line, the
charge will be the same as If one
company had carried the package
from shipping point to destination.

plan for through service at through

nouncement one of the conferees said:
“It has always been customary

HOTEL ARRIVALS,
Necessity of Mineral Survey.
Three of the most valuable minerals used in coril-
merce and a necessity In agriculture and manufacturing,
are known to exist In Texas. They are phosphate rock,
nitrate of soda and sulphur. Yet, because there I* no
mineral survey of the slate, their quantity and loca-
tion are practically unknown and the state Is losing mil-
lions of dollars every year because of want of know-
ledge of these facts which is essential to the develop-
ment of these minerals.
It is worthy of note In this connection, that only
three of the mineral resources rf Texas are named.
There arc known to exist coal, Iron, gold, silver, quick-
silver, precious stones and the rare metals. The loca-
tion. the character, the quantity of none of these can
ever he surmised or known without a mineral survey
of the state, for aa Prof. Phillips, of the state uni-
versity remarks: "Private Investigations are not for
public use.” hence the work must he done by the state.
Prof. Phillips, director of the bureau of economic
geology and technolory of the university, has Issued a
circular telling of the phosphate rock and nitrate of
aoda in Texas.
"Rome time ago.” says Prof. Phillips, in comment
on the necessity for a mineral survey, ’••here was re-
ceived at this office a letter from a reputable mining
man engaged In the phosphate industry, stating that
he had found phosphate rock In Texas that carried 82
per cent of bone phosphate. This would be classed
as extra high grade material, much above the average
of the rock from Florida, Tennessee or South Carolina,
•nils authority further stated that £e had not been
Able to follow the dlacovery up or to locate the deposit.
The rock was found as ’float’ in a creek, but the time
at his disposal did not allow him to prosecute the mat
ter. At other localities he had found rock of fair quof-
tty but not so good as the above.

The Proposed Mining Law. *
The mining law' proposed by Senator*Hudspeth at
Austin will not meet with the approval of those who
hope to see the mining Industry given an opportunity
to start and grow and prosper In the state. The average
mining man Is not Interested In the mining law in so far
as it applies to the non-metailic minerals which are
rightfully a heritage of the public school children of
the state, hut he is interested In having put on the sta-
tute books a law that all lands sold by the state in
which the metallic minerals are reserved shall be open
to prospecting and acquisition by the discoverer or the
rediscovered or those who follow him. for all time to
come at a price which will make it possible ror the
prospector to enjoy the. fruits of his knowledge and labor.
IN TOE PUBLIC FORUM
The big Chicago packers who are continually im-
posing upon every consumer of meat tn the United

WAIT FOR THE TRIAL.
Fort Bliss, Texas, Jan. 20
Editor Times:
The death of Corporal Frank Rich-
ard of the hand has cast a gloom over
the garrison. Richard was well liked
by everybody; kind hearted, sober and
wholly unselfish. His comrades wish
to enquire of E! Paso people through
the Times how it comes that the man
who deliberately murdered him was
immediately set at liberty on condi-
tion that $1000 be guaranteed the
county treasury in case the murderer
elected to cross over to Juarez.
When the 23d infantry took over
the Sulu Archipelago It was found
necessary to revise many of the More
laws and customs. One of the most
important reforms instituted pertain-
ed to the killing of men. The pre-
vailing prices at that time for mur-
der ranginkJrom $200 to $1000. This
anetent rule of criminal Jurisprudence
was immediately abrogated and the
Mosaic statute substituted. Murder-
ers were apprehended, tried and
hung.
The Sulu Archipelago is 12,000 miles
removed from El Paso and there Is no
quid pro quo for the man who kills
his fellow until it has been made clear
that he waa justified in so doing. We
may further state that as a result of
the rigid enforcement of law and or-
der the crime of murder has been re-
duced to 3 per cent of what it was
when the 23rd Infantry first occupied
the islands.
There la a persistent tendency to
raise the question: "Is El Paso 12.000
miles from Jolo?’
The evidence set forth In the Times
leaves this a case of cold-blooded
murder. The victim, it appears, was
on friendly terms with his slayer; a
visitor at his house on his own Invi-
tation: In company with his wife by
his own request.
No plea of the unwritten law was
made when this man was arraigned;
he stood mute.
He not only shot hts friend from
behind but It will probably be proven

accused announced that he would put
on every physician and druggist In the
city in a nattempt to show that Mrs.
Schenk had not bought arsenic from
any- of them. This plan was stopped,
however, Prosecutor llandlan's ob-
jections being sustained.
Later the defense attempted to put
in evidence the affidavit of Alice
Thomas, secretary of a Pittsburg de-
tective agency to bring out con-
spiracy against the accused. This also
was ruled out. ,
Mr. O'Brien said \ln his opening
statement It was hoped that all evi-
dence would be in in three days.
Dr. Osborn, the first witness called
by tho defense said that he had at-
tended many cases of arsenic poison-
ing. He had visited Schenk with Dr.
Hupp, the attending physician. There
were no symptoms of arsenical poison-
ing, he declared.
Dr. Osborn testified that if an ounce
of sugar of lead had been placed In a
bottle of quinine elixir, the lead would
have been precipitated and would have
had little effeqt on the person taking
the medicine. He said further, that
the amount and quantity of lead given
Schenk wold indicate that he had not
been a very sick man.

Issnoiotcd Press Dispatch.
Washington, Jan. 20.—The Cahill Iron
Works at Chattanooga, Tenn,, a .defend-
ant In the government prosecution of the
so-called bath-tub trust, has changed Its
answer to the government’s civil suit
and has entered what, In a criminal ac-
tion, would amount to a pica of guilty.
Frank H. Caldwell, president of the
Iron works, and John J. Mahoney, Its
vice president and secretary, are co-de-
fendants. In their, amended answer they
admit tho alleged violation of the anti-
trust law in the agreement with the
Standard Sanitary Manufacturing com-
pany hut set forth that December 17
they withdrew from it and released all of
the jobbers who whre parties to the price
fixing contract. The company says that
it has returned to the prices that pre-
vailed before the trust agreement was
made and promises not lo make another
such agreement. It is willing to submit
to the Injunction the government seeks
and will not contend further.
Whether the company’s attitude will
have any effect on the government crimi-
nal case has not been decided.

LITTLE MICHIGAN BOY
HANGED BY PLAYMATES
Associated Press Di*patch.
„.^nn„Ar^or’ ^flch- Jan. 20—That
little Foster Campbell, whose dead
body was found last night hanging in
a shack built by the boys of the neigh-
borhood, met his death at the hands
of a former playmate, seems indicated
by the finding today of a "good bve”
note on tho outside of the shanty. This
note, misspelled, written with chalk
with childish characters, follows:
"Good by. Davel” (signed) Loise H.
"Davel” the police believe was in-
tended by the writer of the note to
mean "Devil” and Loise H” evidently
was intended to convey the impres-
sion that Loise Herron, the closest
friend of the dead boy, was responsi-
ble for his death and had scribbled
the farewell. Not the slightest sus-
picion, however, attaches to the Her-
ron boy. who is only seven years old.
It l« the belief that some older boy
knotted a rope around the 'little fel-
low’s neck and tied the loose end to a
rafter. The rope was drawn too tight
and death resulted.
The police tonight are without n
clue to the identity of the supposed
slayer.
