THE HOUSE THAT CANT BUILT.

Valentine Cant, one of the most solid ranchers and stockmep CD the south side, was born near Chester, H., in the year 1884. He spent his
 childhood days going to school, learn ing the science of forming and mould ing a character so broad and sound as to stand the storms and temptations of the battle of life in after years. I Reaching the age of majority in 1854, he left his native state and went west. For years he engaged in the m ming, | farming and stockraising businass in | the states of California, Oregon and Idaho, winning respect as a gentle man, business man and citizen wher- ever he went. In the early sos he came to Arizona, spent some time in- vestigating the territory, and finally
 in 1892, bought a large ranch nine 1 miles south of Tempe. He did not settle on this ranch until 1895, how | ever, as the work of adjusting his in
 terests elsewhere required a great deal i of time and travelling. When he did
 settle, he pursued the course identical
 with himself-that of a builder. The ranch had been cultivated, but had grown to weeds and brush, the land
 was as rough as nature left it and the
 ditches reminded Mr. Cant of a de
 parted race. Under the builders di-
 rection the wrestle with nature be
 gan in earnest. The land was clearad
 the old fences rebuilt and new e: l constructed, the desert 1eveled, ths
 ditches repaired and Heightened, snf
 the whole place seeded to alfalfa. MT Gant's time and money was not spent in vain, for this then seemingly God forsaken spot, now, with it's herds O.
 fattening cattle, reminds one of na
 ture's sweetest smiles.
