indicates freedom from killing frosts, the iron wood lands being always selected by experienced cultivatiors for citrus culture. The land will warrant the highest reasonable expend ture for irrigation
 And concludes h:s report by tha fol- lowing unqualified endorsement of the enterprise: ''It needs no extended statement to show this to be good in- V stment, My opinion is that you can safely em bark Tn this enterprise, and by giving it ordinary good business at- tention, make a handsome profit" The headquarters of the company were removed to Phoenix last month, working plans were formulated by Curran & Hussey, the engineers of the company, and actual work of construc- tion is already in progress.
 The system secures storage irrigation whereby the cultivator sees his water piled up for him before he does his planting, and though it involves great additional cost, it is vastly superior to any system dependent upon the flow of stream, which in an arid country is so variable during the growing season.
 The company is composed of Penn sylvanlans, with the following board of directors: Curtis G. Hussey and L. M. Worden of Pittsburg, Pa.; H. B. Beatty, H. McSweeney and Willis J. Rulings of Oil City, Pa.; H. F. James of Franklin, Pa. A. J Davis of Clarion, Pa., and s. c. Symonds and Wade H. Rulings of Phoenix, Ariz., of whom Willis J. Rulings is president, H. F. James, vice. president; c. G. Hussey, treasurer, and H. B. Beatty, secretary.
 The policy of the company is simply to furnish water to users; to facilitate as much as possible the acquisition of the land by small holders: and to make each water user a stockholder in the company, thus securing practical CO., operation, economy in the use of water and in many ways promoting the in- terests of the company by an appeal to the self interest of it's patrons.
 It is apparent, of course, that the company's true interests will be pro- noted by having the land under it's canal promptly occupied by home builders rather than that it should be taken up by spectators for rise in land values because the home builder will not only have permanent interest in the welfare of the company, but will promptly furnish it certain and reliable revenues.
 The company while ready to dispose of it's stock on reasonable terms, and offering it's water rights at $20 per acre in ten equal annual installments, have in pursuance of it's policy adopted a plan which will place a farm home within the reach ot every man who can and will work, but who has no money to pay for costs of filing reclamation.
 Thus man having right to file upon desert lands, may purchase a share of the stock of the company, a water right for the land he files upon, and secure loan of the funds neces- sary to perfect his filing right, upon condition that he pay $25 per month for stipulated time, and that he will, after he has made his final proof, pay his indebtedness, with a moderate in- terest, in annual installments
 After he has made twelve monthly payments, his contract is non-forfeit- able, and to enable a man who has nothing but his two hands to mature his claim to this point, the company will guarantee him twelve months em- ployment at GU stomary wages, if he will apply part of his wages to the pay ment of the monthly installment.
