Why Not Have a Sugar Factory? fFrora the Dsily Examiner) H. C. .Kester, of Karr, Kester and Speese was in- town last night, and talking to the Examiner he stated that there was one thing that the Yu ma valley needed and that was a sug ar beet factory. Mr. Kester says there is no reason why the Yuma people should not have a sugar beet facory here, as the land in the Yuma valley will produce just as good or better sugar beets thtvn the land around Glendale, near Phoe nix, where the present sugar beet fac tory is located. Mr. Kester undoubtedly knows whereof he speaks, and it would be a good thing if the Commercial Club or a' body of Yuma business men could get together and make a move to se cure a factory for Yuma or to inter est capital into coming here and start ing one. ' Mr. Kester has always been one jf Yuuma's staunchest boosters, and he would no doubt be willing to get in and help boost with the Yuma busi ness men for the location of a factory at this point.- O ; Popular Young Man To Be Married (From Tuesday's Examiner) Ike Leposky, one of Yuma's popular young, men will leave to-night or to morrow for Stockton, Cal., where he goes to wed Miss Edna M. Rice, of that city., : i It will be remembered that Miss Rise was for about a year an employe of the -local telephone exchange and during ner residence here made many friends, who will-be glad to welcome her back to Yuma, Mr. Leposky has been a resident of Yuma for several years and is well knownand well liked. The ceremony will take place in Stockton, at the home of the bride's parents, and after a brief honeymoon trip, the happy couple will return to Yiima to make this city their future home. A Ike's friends are already preparing to give the couple a royal reception on their return, and the Examiner joins with their many friends in wishing them all the advance congratulations possible.' Bert C." 'Smith, in 'the os Angeles Times of yesterday says: len thousand dollars for the Phoe nix road race the ccmina year. 1 hat is the mark for the prize for the winning car in 1912, if prominent automobile men and scores of" Phoenix autoists have their way. The race was an im mense success. The fast cars were sent across the desert sands, cutting down the time between this city and Phoenix by the route chosen for the national highway. When Harvey Herrick finished with the National in twenty hours and 23 minutes thousands of spectators were thrilled and then enthused. The time Was remarkable. The national high way problem had been solved and the prominent men of Phoenix had been won over for the greatest road race ever held. With 100,000 spectators at the start and with 20,000 excited and cheering Arizonians watching the finish, the Phoenix road race has proved to the world that it is the greatest sport classic of the day. From one end of-the 542 mile course to the other the throngs in the cities kept tab on the flying cars. , o The above1 from the pen of Mr. Smith shows that interest in the big race has just started, and the follow ing letters received by Dr. J. A. Ketch erside, president of the Yuma Automo bile Association, shows that our neigh bors in the Imperial Valley have also woke up and that next, year it be hooves Yuma and the Imperial valley to see that the roads are just twice as fast as, they were this year. The letters follow: Brawley Investment Company Brawley, Cal., Nov. 11. Dr. J. A. Ketcherside, Yuma. Dear Sir: Received yours of the 3rd, also let ter from Mr. Ming in which he asked us to forward to you 4 copies of a map of the auto road from Brawley to Yu ma. We are forwarding these to-day under separate cover, and we trust you will be able to use them for the advantage of both Brawley and Yuma. Notice of Estimates Yuma County Water Users' Association.

( H. L. BELTZHOOVER, Sec'y. - R. G. STJTT, President. It is ten miles from Brawley" to Im perial and 4 miles from there to El Centro, and 126 miles from there to San Diego. It is about 22 miles from Ogilby to Yuma as shown on the map, and about 16 miles from Ogilby to Araz. We will have the road in fairly good shape as far as Mammoth, and we may be able to get some of the road im proved between Mammoth and Yuma by next Saturday night. We will alto send out a machine to sign the road some time next week, and will have a machine or two in Yuma to meet the Westgard party. Wish you could get some of the vork done on that end as we will hard ly get it all finished in lime for that party. Yours very truly, R. C. JECKELL. C. J. PARK Civil Engineer Brawley, Cal., Nov. 11. Dr. J. A. Ketcherside, Yuma. Dear Sir: I just returned from a trip from Mecca on the south and west side of the.Saltori Sea. We found that -a road could be built that way but it will require some work before it will be passable with a machine. I am preparing a map showing road from Yuma to Mecca. As soon as I get some printed, I will mail you one. We have an outfit working on the road to Y.una. Yours truly, C. J. PARK. o Now it is up to Yuma to get all hands and the cook busy on the roa from Yuma to Phoenix. With a whole year to work in, and with the territor ial road, or part of it, to pe built iu that time, and with our neighbors in the Imperial valley giving us aid such as the above, the race next year should be run in 18 hours at the most, because the new territorial highway if we can get it completed, will cut off fully forty miles between here and Phoenix. And certainly every cne in Yuma who has any influence, should begin NOW to boost for better roads. mmW Mma MmmW mm Hi To have pure and wholesome " W ) food, be sure that your baking - (h) powder is made from cream ..

The place of the next meeting was left in the hands of the executive com mittee, it being suggested, that the as sociation meet at the Grand Canyon next summer. Heretofore all meetings have been in Phoenix, on acccount of its accessibility and the advantages of entertainment and low fares offered by the Arizona fair. It is appreciated, however that the entertainment de tracts in a measure from the full con sideration of the serious matters that so deeply interest the handlers of the mail.
