Well Uader Way.
M. Wormser, au old-time citizen
of this valley, on whom fortune has
smiled quite lavishly, has become
interested in two propositions re
cently, that of the coming of the
railroad from Prescott and the cul
tivation of beets for the manufac
ture of sugir With his usual
sagacity Mr Wormser decided that
the bast way to find out about these
things was to go to the scene of
operations and investigate for him
self.
. Some days ago Mr. Wormser
started for California and stopped
at this Chino ranch, so noted for
beet culture. Here many farmers
were interviewed on the subject
and the big sugar factory was in
• spefcted. The success of this in
dustry has bceu so good, said he,
that the company are increasing the
capacity of the already big plant.
Farmers told Mr. Wormser it was
easy to obtain SSO an acre from
land sown to beets, and that good
beet land was worth fro n S2OO to
i S3OO an acre. It is not all laud
i that raises profitable sugar beets,
said he, but as rule dryer lauds are
best. The manager of the farm
told Mr. Wormser he had a man in
Phoenix who would give away
< BUgar beet seed this season and
superintend the planting or sowing,
and in the fall have the product
analyzed. Mr. Wormser brougiit
some seed with him, which will be
sown in different places on his
various ranches near Tempe, and he
will make a thorough test.
“I learned much I didn’t know
before,” said he, “aoout sugar beets,
how to sow and cultivate, and also
that to get good returns they mils',
be gathered and worked up just at
the proper time. If they do well
here there will be no trouble in
getting a factory for working them
into sugar.”
“How about the new railroad f”
“Well,” said Mr. Wormser, “I
came back over that line from Ash
Fork to Prescott and the line
where the men are at work. The
Southern Pacific or Atlantic &
Pacific have no engines so big as
the ones I see on the n< j w road.
They are tine ones, four of them.
The roadbed as far as is done is the
best kind of work, and the cars
run very smoothly. I rode out this
side of Prescott six miles, or as far
as trains can run now. They are
hauling bridge timbers down that
far and then loading them on
wagons. Lots of bridge carpenters
are at work, and iu Skull valley 1
saw a good many men grading.”
“How many men are there at
work altogether'!”
“I don’t know. They hired fifty
while 1 was there, but some were
let go. Ex-Governor Murphy says
1,000 men are on the line. There
is a little work not yet completed
between Skull valley and Prescott,
but not much. Field, Lincoln and
those other Chicago fellows came
to where the engineers stop this
• side of Prescott and then got in a
wagon to go to the Congress mine.
I think they are interested in it.”
“When do you think they will
gpt the road done to Phoenix.”
“Oh, I don’t know, but they are
working away all right. Tho»'e big
engines are hauling lots of bridge
timbers «.nd they are getting along
1 pretty fast. Don’t ask me any
thing more, for I have told all I
■ know. You can say, though, in
' the Review, that I was over the
entire line and t.ln*y are at work
f with many men, but 1 don’t know
how many. What I have told you,
• though, is reliable.”
Some business is best done quick
, ly and with few words. Other
business, of a more delicate nature,
is commonly entered upon in a
. more leisurely manner. Now and
i then, however, a in in is found who
makes no such distinction. F ir
. mer Jones sought an interview
with Widow Brown. He had long
prided himself upon his short-horn
i cattle; she was in her way as prond
1 of her poultry and pig*. “Widow
Brown,” said he, “I urn a man pi
tew words, but much feeling. I
* posse <m, as you know, between three
and four hundred head of cattle.
I have saved up SBOO or §0 and
I’ve a tidy and comfortable home.
I want you to become my wife.
Now, quick’s the word with me; I
give you five minutes to decide!”
“Farmer Jones,” Baid the Widow,
“I am a woman of few words—l’ll
say nothing of my feelings. I pos
sess, as you know, between three
and four hundred bead of poultry
and about ten score of pigs. X have
nigh $1,200 well invested—my late
husband’s savings and my own
earnings. I tell you t wouldn’t
raairy you if it were a choice be
tween that and going to the soaffold.
Sharp’s my word, and I give you
three minutes to clear off ray
premises.”
The Gila Bend Leader says ranch
ers are busy. Up and down the
river, and along the canals, ditch
ing, clearing, irrigating, and plant
, ing are going on at a great rate.
Nearly every man in town either
owns a ranch or has an interest in
one, so that in these days if*you
, look for a man in town you are
met* with the information, “He is
- down on the ranch,” or, “He has
just gone to the ranch.” All this
sounds well, and » certainly en
couraging. Some fine large spring
showers now, assisted by the ditch
* es later on will insure a prosperous
year to this section, and we are
deserving of all the prosperity that
may visit us, for we are a long pa
tient, and somewhat sorely tried
community of too early comers.
The financial affairs of the north
and south road have been seitled
and they now have all the money
they need to fully complete it. For
some time it has beenvery doubtful
in the minds of many whether the
road would be completed further
than the Congress mine or not.
There will be 1500 men employed
in about three weeks, and work
will be begun at this end, and
prosecuted to completion as rapid
ly as men and money can do it, and
do it thoroughly.—Democrat.

President Collins of the chamber
of commerce yesterday received a
letter from Bruce Per ley in charge
of the Arizona exhibit at the Mid
winter Fair, says the Republican,
saying that the Salt River vail y
exbibit of oranges had t»een award
ed a premium of the first class.
This is the first formal recogni
tion the Silt River valley has ev**r
received and it naturally caused a
great deal of elation to learn that
i* was so pronounced.
Only three awards were made iu
this class and they were determin
ed upon points of excellence ap
proaching a standard of 100 points.
In this class the number of points
were required to exceed 90. Only
one exhibit was given a higher
place than the Salt River valley
exhibit and that only exceeded it
by three points.
Those of the second class f*dl
between 80 and 90; those of the
third class between 70 and 80. The
Phoenix exhibit consisted of fruit
shipped there at the Opening of too
fair while the California displays
consisted of fresh picked fruit.
The decision of the judges of
award is after all only a rnodifi- d
confirmation of the opinion of a
large majority of visitors to the
fair who pronounced the fruit from
this valley superior in appearance
and flavor to any other in the ex
position
The triumph of the valley is due
in some measure not only to the
excellence of its exhibit but to the
activity of the gentleman in charge,
Mr. - Perley. - The effect of the *
awards cannot but be highly bene
ficial to the valley and will result
in the attraction of a large number
of fruit growers who would have
come before if they had known any
thing of the adaptability Os the
country to citrus fruits.
