His neighbors laughed at the crooked LOWS after the trees Wers planted and ridi- culsd the idea that the owner of the ranch ever would live to see them bear fruit in 8 profitable quantity. They went ahead and planted almonds, and while Cooper did not grow rich as fact as they did, his olive orchard com menced to bear few years ago and with a crude machine made at home, which resenbled an arastra, began to produce oil in small quantities. This year his profits from his ordhsrd will reach $75. .O00 and he has the most inl- proved machinery to produce 1t. It might be well to state that his neigh bors went broke on almonds, This simply goes to show what there may be in store for any man who will begin in the same way.
 Arizona offers many opportunities for young men who are willing to take hold and work upward from a small beginning. Tne great trouble with all of us is that we want to make money too last and oyer-reach our selves, while thoae who are willing to call Arizona their home will be the future solid men of the richest section Of our territory.
