 As to the reservoir. h. believes that o..c of the greatest benefits to be de- rived from il will be the development of watar power, upon which MI. Max n T to0ched II his address last sf4tur- day.

 i'c- Chandler spoke of melon grow ing as enc Of the great possibilities or the valley with an adequate water sup- ply.

The dealers told him that roihinG finer could be raised anywhere in the En;ted States and that since they could be put upon the market so early they would cG1n- la:nd the growers price. He said 2 carload of Salt River valley canta- i"Vpes was worth as much as a carload cr California oranges.
