SALT RIVER VALLEY.

R. Nj. Wallace, representing the coming Los Angeles Examiner, has been in Salt River valley for the past three weeks and has had good opportunity to See something of the country. He has been a good deal over the Southern California counties curing the past two years and has not failed 10 make comparison of the advantages between the two sections. He confided to an Enterprise reporter today his mature conviction that the Salt River valley of Arizona. is all things considered. preferable to even the well-nigh perfect Southern Cali fornia section.
 He says that when the Tonto stor- age dam is completed and sufficient water afforded the valley it will be the richest and most productive section he has eyer seen. Many small areas of Southern California are well irrigated and ara very productive but nowhere is there to he found such wide reach of fertile country so well adaDted to easv irrieatior as in this valley. The severe drought which for years hore dowr soheavilv upon the Southern California counties proved a hlessing in disguise. It forced many ranchers to sink wells in order to save fruit trees and to provide water for even domestic use. In many places an ar tesian flow was secured and in many more an abundance was found which could be successfully pumped for ir- rigation. In few places in California is water found so near the surface as in the Salt River valley and barring the dinerence in favor Of the coast cCTnties on account of cheaper fueh wate- can he pumped cheaper here than there.
 ands here are much cheaper than there. The unprecedented rush of homeseekers to Southern California has ivance6 the prices of farm land in sections convenient to the cities and towns from 5n to 300 per cent during lthe Dast two years. Coed ranch lands within twenty miles Hf los Angeles not nearly SD productive as lands in this county. sell at s20o to $500 per acre. and if adjacent to the citv. at nrices much higher.
 MT. Wallace is enthusiastic over the good fortune which has fallen to the Salt River valley in the now setted fact that the government is to build the Tonto reservoir dam. With re- liable water supply the ranchers will raise more alfalfa and more live stock to the square acre here than in any other known part Of the world With increased farm products for shipment and the completion which will come with increased railroad trackaee through and out of the valley Will come lower freight and passenger rates. Then will the valley be plared upon something like equality with the coast sections and the world Will come to recognize and appreciate it's won derful advantages and possibilities.
