A GARDEN SPOT.
Inducements Offered By the SOuh Side to
 HOmeSeekerS.

The Consolidated is the largest of the great canals of the south side The system consists of 40 miles of main cana 75 miles of main laeras and 15O miles of smaller ateras so distributed that 100000 acres of land may irrigated.
 Besides this great system the following canals with underlying territory must be considered: The Highland canal 20 miles, 15OO0 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 Aourishing towns 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 so
 The country about Mesa will probably within the next en wears enjoy the widely circulated distinction of being the most productive frutrowng region in the United States m # i now known to be the chief fruit belt of the valley.
 It differs sufficiently in altitude from the rest of the valley to insure semi-tropca fruits against danger from frost always imminent in the most favored regions Of Cali Iforna.
 The altitude is S16 feet higher than Tempe and 172 fact above Pbenix rendering somewhat cooler than either nlace in summer and slightly warmer in winter

 The business and commercial interests include one bank seven general merchandise stores one hardware two blacksmith shops one lumber yard and two saloons
 The buildings are of good character and become more pretentous yearly As might be expected Ill su'n community there excellent church and school facilities and the town is sufficiently metropolitan to support sma opera house.

and one is impressed with the har- mony of the whole figure.
 The artist, Miss Jean P. Miner, is a native of Wisconsin, the daughter of a Congregational minister of Madison. She has been for several years stu dent at the Art institute, Chicago, and is member of the Palette club. She is not only close student, but, as this her most ambitious work shows, pos sesses that power of insight which coupled with the creating faculty marks the true artist. The statue of Miss Miner is one of the best things so far produced for any of the state build ings. The present figure is better than the one ruined by freezing and shows that the artist is growing in ex- pression and strength. The figure was originally intended to be in Vermont marble, but it is thought now that it will be cast in bronze.

under gale Of wind from the west, ale shrii

Within two hours the iirc had consumed s'

The Tearing Up Of Car Track Causes .
Fight In which Three Mon
rre Killed.

The tearing up OF the Schuylkill Traction
Company's tracks at Gllberton, PennsyivAnAs
on Monday night by the borough officials re-
suited most disastrously. When the company
officials heard Of the movement they Al once
sent force Of men to try and eneee ana
amicable settlement. When the break In the :
road was reached, President II. E.'JoneF of
the Traction company, with Richard Amour
Shenandoah, chief Of the company's police,'
got oil the car and In few moments had a. :
fected settlement and the tearing up Of the
track WAS stopped. In the car were . number
OF men taken on at Girardvillc, members OF
the National Guard who had with them rines
belonging to the company While the rail-
way onicials were engaged IN converting With
the borough officers, some Of the crowd

In addition to PaiGtt, William Hughes,
