The Consolidated is the largest of the great canals of the south side The system consists of 40 miles of main canal 75 miles of main lateras and 5O miles of smaller ateras so distributed that 100000 acres of land may be irrigated.
 Besides this great system the following canals with underlying territory must be considered The Highland canal 20 miles, 15OOO acres the Mesa canal 10 miles, 2O 900 acres the Utah. 10 miles, 10000 acres the Tempe 15 miles, 3OoOO.
 The entire region about Mesa derives its life from these systems which are also contrbuory in the highest de- gree to the agricultural prosperity of the country around Tempe
 There is rapidly spreading belief that that part of the valley in which these two Aourishng located is the garden spot of Arizona and developments justify the growing belief.
 is not improper in this connection to describe briefly the grounds upon which this belief is based and the natural reasons why it is
 The country about Mesa will probably within the next ten wears enjoy the widely circulated distinction of being the most productive frugrowing region in the United States if now known to be the chief fruit belt of the valley
 It differs sufficiently in altitude from the rest of the valley to insure semropcal fruits against danger from frost always imminent in the most favored regions of Cali fornia.
 The altitude is S6 feet higher than Tempe and 172 feet above Phnx rendering it somewhat cooler than either place in summer and slightly warmer in winter

 The business and commercial interests include one bk n general merchandise sores one hardware store two blacksmith shops lumber yard and two saloons
 The buildings are of good character and become oore nretentous yearly As might be expected in such community there are excellent church and school facilities and the town is sufficiently metropolitan to support small opera house.
 Communication is maintained with the nelghborlng cities of Tempe and Phoenix by means of two daily stages

., Elisha Gray's Wonderful Invention How Writing Is Sent from One Place to Another - Secrets
 of the Machine,

p-of Elisha Gray, of Highland Park, Il, has devoted his life to the perfec- ,r of systems of communication by ,,,,ricitv. His first work pertained improvements in the Morse tele- ,rb, which, for many years, was the .,r means of transmitting intelli- .ree electrically. These improve s,rts were followed by his printing ,'sgraph, which transmitted Roman S,racters, and was especially adapted ,nriyate line work. A number of these sv printers are still in use. His ,vt invention was the musical tele- sone which enabled the operator to ,l,y upon an organ in Chicago to E.T York audience. From the musical anne the speaking telephone, of which Inf Gray was the inventor, and for ,sieh history will give him credit. most simultaneously with the speak | ], telephone, was his production of se harmonic telegraph, allowing ;bt messages to be sent over one T,a at the same time. But his crown . ], effort is the most wonderful of all +trical inventions, the telauto- 1Dh. or long distance writing ma t1e
 This consists of a transmitter and a esiver associated for use at one zton. The structure of these in-
 Tments is remarkably simple and s,o!d of complication, and the mode operation is in all respects direct nd positive. The methods for trans -,ing the electric impulses to the
 ,s. and then converting them in the sqyer into the corresponding move y1,s of the automatic pen, are of a ,g,ive character, and are therefore Zw dependent upon accidental ssrges in conditions.
