AN UEISHABIrABLE DESERT

Is in truth the most productive land on the globe, and that there is water in abundance
 bring every foot of it under cultivation, only waiting for the magic wand of capital to develop it. There is no water-storage scheme on tie Pacific coast that has one- half the natural advantages and SO few en gineering difficulties as the can Carlos reser voir. Here nature has built the abutments in ever-living rock, and all that is left for man to do is to put in the headgate. the bluffs which form the gorge being only separated by paltry 20 feet. country is drained through this narrow canyon 200 miles square. representing 10000 square miles. or larger than Maine and Massachu- setts combined. The rainfall Is sufficient to fill the reservoir twice year. and the land to be brought under cultivation is praeti- cally limitless. This may read like fairy tale. but is is every word true. and has been
 eriied time and again.

PRICES OF LAND.

Improved lands. with government title and water right, can be bought for from S20 to $50 per acre. according to location and im- provements. In the immediate neighbor- hood and to the south of the Casa Grande ruins there are thousands of acres covered with heavy growth of mesquite timber yet open to settlement. These are among the choicest in the valley. Water in inexhausti- ble quantity is found at depth of from twenty to thirty feet; in fact, river seems to be flowing underneath. Here is a splen- did opportunity to take up and improve land with pumping system of irrigation. which is said to be successful on small tracts.
 However. with the completion of the San Carlos reservoir, pumping will be thing of the past. and it Is only mentioned here for the purpose of showing what can be done. and to magnify the further fact that what was once considered

Unlike the Salt river, the waters of the Gila are fresh and pure; the soil contains no alkali, is a deep. rich gray ash, especial ly adapted to the growth ofthe prune, olive, almond, peach. fig. pear, apricot and fruits of all kinds, which pay largely on the invest ment. It is also the natural home of alfalfa. which grows in the most prolific manner. The grape does exceptionally well in this valley. and wine and raisin culture is destin- ed to become prominent industry. Citrus fruits have been cultivated to limited ex- tent; there are number of orange trees in the neighborhood of Florence which bear their golden fruit each year without pro- tection, and a few date palm trees are also in full bearing. The season is from six weeks to two months earlier than Southern California. which gives fruit growers an appreciated advantage in

THE CASA GRANDE VALLEY CANAL

A reservoir covering 1900 acres. having storage capacity of eight billion gall Ions, in the southeast corner of township 6. range g, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below it, but those above suffer by a shortage of water during few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con- struction of a huge reservoir near San Carlos, which would stC re 23I .396 acre-feet of water, capable of irrigating 1iO,69S acres of land. All of this land would be in the vicinity of Florence. The estimated cost of the dam is Sl .0Ss, ,92s. This survey was made by order of Congress. for which S200O0 was appropriated. Mir. ]. D.

Schuyler considers per- fectly feasible, would store 550.000 acre-feet of water and the reservoir would have life of sixty three years without dredging.

UNTOUCHED BY FROST.

Orange and lemon trees require slight protection during the winter for a year or two, until the wood is sufficiently hardened,
 While 1t is a popular thing for one to say that he is mot here for his health." it is an undisputed fact that for all pulmonary ail- ments no climate on earth is equal to South ern Arizona. and there are numbers of active, industrious citizens, with but one lung, who came here years ago, expecting to live but a few weeks. But for all that, the wonderful Casa Grande valley is some thing better than health resort.
 That portion of the great Casa Grande valley lying along the line of the Southern Pacific railway in the vicinity of Casa Grande and Arizola is at present, and with good reason, considered one of the most desirable portions of this magnificent Southern Ari- zona, Great changes have been made in the appearance of this part of the valley during the last ten years. It was about that long ago that the Florence canal was completed and the work of actual improvement begun. It is useless to deny that under our present water system there Is nothing like suffi- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land.

escaped unhurt. He marshalled his
men and led them through the thick
smoke down the stairway and safely
into the street.
There were II employees and a num-
Der of outside workmen on the eighth
floor. A ladder reached from this floor
to the roof which would have enabled
those upon that floor to reach the roof
of an adjoining eight story building but
in the excitement this means of es-
cape was forgotten. Several made
the terrible leap to the sidewalk and
were crushed, while the others ran the
gauntlet of smoke and fire down the
rear fire escape. Among those on the
eighth floor who jumped and were
killed were H. A, Sparrow, an expert
electrical contractor, and Charles e.
Sparrow, his nephew and assistant.
The firemen as soon as they arrived,
devoted their whole attention to the
work of rescue. AS some of them stood
within the scorching heat with nets
outspread to receive those who leaped
from the burning building their COM

pavement. When the fremen arrived
Commerce Street was filled with these
unfortunates and for an hour the
police and hospital service was taxed
to it's utmost capacity.
1t looked for a time as II the entire
block would become prey to the flames
but the falling of the walls Of the
burning building prevented the spread
of the flames. By noon the fire was
under control, and at 2 o'clock a force
of men ordered by the department of
public safety began the work of clear
ing away the debris for the purpose
of recovering the bodies Of the victims
buried in the ruins.
Small buildings in the rear of the fur
niture building and also to the west
of the burned area were crushed by
falling walls. The fronts of the stores
on the south side of Market Street, OPP
posite the fire, were all more or less
damaged by the heat.
