Messrs. Editors :---Being an old residellter
of ysuF section Of the country and knowing
also that large number of yonr readers
would be pleased to read an account of this
thriving and fast growing town, | have con-
cluded to send y0u brief and rs concise
an account Of Mckeesport and vicinity as
can
McKeesport is situated Mt the confluence
of the Monongahela and Youghiogheny riv-
ers about fifteen miles above Pittsburgh.
The town was laid out in the year 1898 by
John Mckee. IL was, until a few years ago,
dependant almost entirely on the coal trade
of the two valleys MOnongahela and YOugh.
To-day. it has population of about ten
thousand inhabitants and its prospects are
very encouraging. Ii there is town in the
United States that can claim a metropolitan
character, think il is Mckeesport. Our
population is composed of the following
nationalities and perhaps more which have
escaped orr observation: Americans, Ger
mans. Irish, English, French, Italians,
Sweeds. Hungarians and Welsh. There are
i'm the town, thirteen places Of worship.
four public schools, two demoninational
schools, one academy and two privats
schools. We have also four public Halls;f.f
indifferent size, but there is in cOurSgf III
construction and almost ready for Q.cuna-

TnoUeH many new houses have
been put up about town within the
past four months, there is yet de-
mand for more, and the person whe
has money to invest in putting up
buildings that can be let at reason
able rates will find it profitable in
vestment- Buildings of three or
four rooms that can be let for from
$12 to $50 seem to be most in de-
mand- At present we do not know
of single room to let and but one
house. the owner of which is absent

cupied for some time.

THE rains that have just fallen
have perhaps been of no great bene-
6t to the valley al present, d pending
as it does almost entirely on irri ga
tion, but they probably insurs a con-
siderable fall of snow on the noun
tains which means an abundance OF
water in the valley for irrigating
purposes at the season when irriga
1ion is most needed. The Salt River
valley il AWAY sure of crop. Its
lands are rich, the water supply
abundant, constant, and distributed
when and where it is wanted; and
the average excess of agricultural
product over those portions of the
country which depend upon rainfall
for crops, will pay the extra cost of
irrigation many times over. Our
valley has therefore become a most
desirable farming locality, and all
our farmers who have conducted
their business on business principles
have rapidly accumulated wealth.
Large crops are produced each sue
cessive year and the success of our
farmers is conclusive proof of suffi-
cient water supply and the advan-
tages of its artificial distribution.
