The Consolidated the largest of the great canals
south side The system now consists of 40 miles of
canal rs miles of main laeras and $50 miles of smaller
irrigated.
Besides this great system the following canals with
underlying territory must be considered: The Highland
canal 20 miles, 900 acres the Mesa canal 10 miles, 90
900 acres the Utah. 10 miles, 10000 acres the Tempe Is
miles, 10000.
The entire region about Mesa derives its life from these
systems which also contrbutory in the highest
gree the agricultural prosperity of the country around
Tempe
There is rapidly spreading belief that that part of the
valley which these two ourishing towns are located is
the garden spot of Arizona and developments justify the
growing belief.
It 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
years enjoy the widely circulated distinction of being the
productive fruitgrowng region in the United States
as it is now known to be the chief fruit belt of the valley
1t differs sufficiently in altitude from the rest of the
valley insure semitropical fruits against danger from
frost always imminent in the most favored regions of Cali
fornia
The altitude is SIG feet higher than Tempe and 72
feet above Phoenix rendering it somewhat cooler than either
place in summer and slightly warmer in winter
Vineyards dot the country in every direction and hun
Mesa City, the of this lovely region ideal village

7 miles from Phoenix.
The business and commercial interests include one
ank general merchandise stores hardware store
wo blacksmith shops lumber yard and two saloons
The buildings are of good character and become
nore preentous yearly. AS might be expected in such
ommuniy there excellent church and school facilities
nd the is sufficiently metropolitan support small
pera house.
Communication is maintained with the neighboring
ties of Tempe and Phoenix by of two daily stages
Three miles east of Mesa City is the prosperous village
Leh among whose other industries and features

A CERTIFICATE,
Academy Pupils Get Them
in One Year.
Buildings To BE Begun. The
Medals. TO Close FRIDAY.

Some weeks ago the PRESS report
ed the recelps of letter to Prof.
Graham from the university saying
that graduates of the Mayfeld-Smith
academy would be admitted to the
Junior class there without examina-
tion. A few days ago letter was
received from DR.. Jesse saying that
pupils from this school would be
granted state certificates for two
years, after one year at the universe
ty. This will prove a very material
help to pupils who must pay their
own way to an education.
The building committee met at
the office of Secretary Dunn last
Monday. 1t was decided to begin
work at once. The contract for
digging the basement and building
the foundation will be let on June
Is. Plans for a house 4Ox6O feet
have been approved. Brickwork on
the house will probably be begun by
June 10.
The medals to be given have ar.
rived. They are of elegant design;
and will no doub. be highly appre-
Grated by those who receive them.
The three medals given by Prof.
Graham will be presented by HIM
self, and Editor Tom Allen will
present the Press medal.
The school closes tomorrow. A
good years work has been done, ard
the vacation well earned. Many of
the pupils here this year will teach
the coming winter. Arrangements
Will be made to accommodate 200
pupils next year, and it is confident
ly expected that the attendance will
not fall below that.

THE town of Cisco, Texas, was nearly
wiped out by a cyclone which swept over it
last Saturday. Out of four hundred resi-
dences in the town only one is uniniured.
A train of freight cars was demolished. The
brakeman was instantly killed and the con-
ductor died afterwards from his injuries.
Conservative estimates place the total prop
erty loss at over S2,000,0O0. Immediately
after the cyclone had passed flames were
seen issuing from several of the frame
buildings. 1t is thought some of the miss
ing, Of whom there are score, were burned
to death and their bodies cremated. Over
forty dead bodies have been recovered.
