 active in its business life. They are interested not only in selling property but in the moral and intellectual well fare of the city, it's upbuilding in every proper ,7ay. Most of them have been identified with Phoenix for many years. A very few only are among the later arrivals but their enthusiasm, their business methods and their reputable standing entities them to equal con sideration. Some of them will be more specifically mentioned in what follows.

ENTERPRISE VALLEY.

Leaving Gila Bend. a station on the $. P. R. R. and going north for ten miles you come into one of the prettieSt and most fertile valleys in Arizona This valley is known as the Enterprise valley and lies on the north and west side of the Gila river, and is forty-fiVe miles, one comes into one of the pretri- est and most fertile valleys in Arizona surrounded by mountains on the nOrt h. west and south and the Gila river runs in a crescent shape around the east side after passing through a gap in the mountains at the northwest end of the valley.
 This valley contains about six thou sand acres and is watered by the En- terprise canal the head of which Is To- cated and taken out in the rock forma- tion where the river passes through the mountains and it is said to be by all who have seen it. the safest and most substantial of any canal on the river The canal leaves the river at right angles through a rock cut, there fore avoiding all danger from flood or high waters. The head gate of the canal is so constructed that it works automatically, and when flood waters come they are turned down the river instead of into the canal. The canal has a fall of two and one-haIf feet to the mile which makes current that will carry off all sediment therefore avoiding the expense of frequent cleaning.
 P. M. Hargrave who owns two-thiris of this canal and is one of the first settlers in the valley. having been there for the past nineteen years. has a farm of several hundred acres which is one of the finest and best improved in this section of the territory
 The soil of this valley is a rich allu- vial and sandy lOam made from de- posits by high floods from the river during the past centuries and this soil is adapted to and will grow any of the cereals and deciduous fruits For grapes and berries there is no better soil. Alfalfa grows to perfection. mak- ing from seven to eight tons of hay per acre per annum.
 Mir. Hargrave has a most desirable property, his lands are level and irri- gable and easily handled and would make one of the best propositions for a stock ranch in southern Arizona He is now offering his interest here for sale and any one interested can find him by addressing a letter to him at Gila Bend.
 Another advantage this valley has is a perpetual flow of water at all sea sons, the river passing through the narrows in the mountain and the water

E. A. sPAULDINe.

P. A. Spaulding has lived in the val ley but few years but he has been an active man ever since he decided to locate here. His acquaintance with valley lands is not alone by observa- ton but by actual experience as a farmer and horticulturist. He engaged in the raising of oranges at once and proved successful in the business. Nov ing to the city he opened a real estate office and acquired considerable city property as well. He is looked upon as one of the city's broadest minded business men, willing to cooperate in anything for the public good. He has made money since coming here and expects tc make more of it. He also expects to help other people make money. Those who want to see him may find him in his office in the Win ters building on west Adams street.

THE ARLINGTON COUNTRY.

What is generally referred to as the Arlington country is an extension of what is known as the Buckeye section being located the most westerly tract in this county in which there is any con siderable area under cultivation. It is also the newest or latest section to be supplied with irrigation water. Of the virtue of its soil there is no occasion for special mention as nearly all the valley is of wonderful fertility when amply supplied with water. And Ar lington has the water, which is more to the point.
 The area accorded in descriptions of nearly every section of this valley, is defined not so much by geographical boundaries as by the amount of land which has been supplied with water for in every part of the valley there is some more land available were the wa ter at hand for it's cultivation There fore when it is stated that the Arling- ton country has an area of about eight sections it is meant that water for that much land, 2,400 inches has been ap- propriated by the Arlington Canal com pany, from which the settlement de- rives it's name.
 The Arlington community owes it's existence to cooperation and the same principle is perpetuating it's prosperity. The Arlington Canal Go. was organized in August 1899 by farmers who had filed on several sections of government land, the company appropriat1ng from the unused waters of the GiIa river, a sufficient head to water at least eight sections of land. Owing to the fact that the river water sinks above and rises again there is always an ample r~nvVn ,HwrN lington canal head which is about five

E. E. PAscoE.

F. E. Pascoe began his operations here as a money Ioaner representing outside investors and gradually drffted into the real estate and brokerage bus mess as a natural sequence. He has been identified with the city for many years and though his career has not been spectacular his business has been one of constant growth and expansion. Like most of the local agencies it is not confined to any one line but em- braces house renting, collections and nearly everything for which a reputable and capable resident agency is desired.
 He has nicely furnished quarters at 110 north Center street and is always at home to the man who wants to talk business. His motto is if you want anything, see Pascoe.

E. J. BENNITT.

E. J. Bennitt's business is one of the oldest established agencies in the city, MT. Bennitt having been actively engaged in the banking business here before he made a specially of loans, investments and real estate. In the days when capital was just be- ginning to look this way, MT. Bennitt was regarded as q safe and conserva- tive man to deal with and was en- trusted with large sums by non resi- dents. On the death of Major J. w. Evans who conducted q very similar business MT. Bennitt settled up his

OTHER DEALERS.

Special mention cannot be made of all the brokers of the city nor of the many who in a quiet way are engaged in disposing of their own holdings as opportunity offers. There are a num- Der of this class who are entirely worthy of confidence. Of the firms above mentioned it should be said that these brief references by no means cover the details of their business. Nearly all of them carry house renting, insurance and similar lines usually found in connection with the real es- tate business.

Their offices is at 43 west Adams street.

THE MEN WHO DO

As indicated in the beginning all these things are to be accomplished by far seeing business men. There is all ways an agency between cause and eff feet though both be natural phenomena. Though every wide awake and ener- getic citizen either with or without means will contribute, the work of no class of men at this particular period in the life of Phoenix, will be of more benefit both to the town and to the prospective investor, than that of the real estate dealers. Nor is it more than fair to say that the real estate dealers of the city fully appreciate both their opportunities and their responsibility. Most of the Phoenix brokers are men who are firmly anchored to the town.
 Their purpose is to encourage a per manent prosperity. They have borne their share of the strenuous life, they hope to reap the just reward of confi- dence and fair dealing. They expect to participate in the profit taking and they expect to enjoy their share of the permanent prosperity. They have bar gains to offer and plenty of them. Bar gains that will net them fair commits sions and yet leave more than invest ment margins for their patrons. They expect to accomplish results by square dealing with each other and with their clients. And in this age of organized business it is a recognized fact that a proper commission to a reputable bro ker is a good investment and money well earned by the broker. It is his business to be in perfect touch with conditions and to advise as well as to persuade. His main capital is his bus mess reputation and he must guard it jealously- To that end the real estate dealers of this city sometime ago in corporated what is now known officially and legally as the

bushes affairs and succeeded largely to his cIientage. Probably no man in the valley has placed so many large loans as has Mir. Bennitt, nor has any con- surnmated larger or more important realty sales His offices are located on Center street in the Goodrich block.

Washington, May 2S.--There is one
vacancy in the grade of chaplain in
the army and it will be filled by the
appointment of Rev. John e. Dallam,
pastor Of st. Andrews Episcopal
church. Minneapolis. who has been
recommended by Bishop Satterlee of
the Washington diocese. Speaking Of

Dallam's efforts to be made chaplain
of the Thirteenth Minnesota volun-
teers during the Spanish war. An
other was chosen. Nothing daunted,
the pastor enlisted as private in
Company B of that regiment, making
a fine record as a soldier. His con-
gregation gave him leave of absence,
refusing to accept his resignation. Mr..
Dallam was not a candidate for an
army chaplaincy and the tender has
been made without solicitation on his
part. Bishop Satterlee was strongly
impressed with his manly qualities and
it was thru his Recommendation that
this appointment came. Mr.. Dallam
did not know anything about 1t until
the official word reached him in Min

CLOSED DOORS AT CAPITOL.
Former Auditor Enraged at the Sight

Language to Public Examiner john

r. c.. Dunn former state auditor,
had stormy interview Thursday aft
ernoon with his successor, S. G.. Iver-
son, in the latter's office. Judging
from what has leaked out, the con-
versation was decidedly warm one.
Mr.. Dunn came in and sat down
for a talk with Auditor Iverson, but
soon noticed two or three men work
ing on some books at a long table In
the room
: ''Who are those fellows?' he de-
manded.
s'They are some of Mr.. Johnson's
employees checking over the records,
Mr.. Iverson replied.
The candidate for governor flew into
a rage at once and delivered TRADE
at Johnson. He strobe up and down
and out into the corridorn saying:

Let him dig all he wants to. Let him
do his worst, the
Returning to Mr.. Iverson, he spoke
peremptorily:

Mr. IverSOnS sCourteousfy requested
the, accountants to step out and leave
them alone, and then closed the doors.
They were closeted for an hour, and
when they separated Mr.. Dunn was
still enraged.
An office employe said of the In
cident:
eff Mr.. Iverson had lost his head
and got as mad as the other man was

side or the other. Then, as happens
whenever a large company. of boys
are banded together, the active dis
turbers got busy. They harassed the
Greeks in many small ways. But the
decent element that which wanted a
fair and above-b board fight, squelched
the Others.
However, rowdytsrn could not be
entirely eliminated from the contest.
The bitter denunciations of the fra
ternities by the loud and eloquent
speakers at public meetings created
a, feeling against the members that
could not be repressed. Whenever
secret society man would pass along
the walks, or across the campus, there
would follow him from dormitory win
dows and classrooms the derisive call
of Frat! Frat!'' And not tnfrequent-
ly would there fall onto him, from
some mysterious high-up place pa
per bag filled with water-or worse.
The "anti-frat" fight along in the
ing subject in the minds Of the stu
dents. The literary societies took up
the subject and debaters argued about
it. The struggle for control of the
college publication was feature
which was somewhat bitter. Ulti-
vailed and there was elected a board
Of editors that was as fair-minded as
was possible in those exciting times.
The "outsiders' continued to make
| things unpleasant for the fraters, and
their behavior eliminated in a dis
graceful and bloody attack on them
while they were given a reception in
honor of the sorority ladies. That
battle was one of the hardest and
dirtiest that was ever fought by col
lege men.
The surviving outsiders" Of those
days say that one of the non-secret
I literary societies went to President
Chamberlain one day late in May,
1888, and asked permission to use one
Of the rooms in the chemical build
ing for a meeting. It was to be a
social affair to follow the regular
being made for the serving Of re-
freshments President Chamberlain,
being told that it was likely that the
meeting would not begin until some
time after o'clock said he would
not permit the. students to go into any
4 affair of that kind at that late hour.
Several days later, the outsiders
say, the Delta Tau Delta fraternity
boys went to the president and sought
4 permission to use the room for a re-
ception to the fraternity girls on the
+. same night. This was granted. The
fraternity boys and girls repaired to
the building for their so.ree at about

to stifle their interest in the college
itself and to center it in their own or
ganization and it's members.
They said, in the arguments winch
they made against the "frats," that 1t
was the duty of every student to aid
his fellows in every way possible, es-
pecially those young men who came in
from the farms and were unfamiliar
with school life and who, unless aided
by more fortunate students, would be
unable to get the most out of their
college life. The fraternities, they ad-
mitted usually got the cream" of the
boys, and these, as soon as they got
into the exclusive societies, became
selfish and did not give their aid to
those of their fellows who most needed
assistance There were few young
men of this class who fought the fra
ternities all thru the sos. From 50
to 80 the agitation against the frater-
mites, which, necessarily were be-
coming even more exclusive than for
merly was very strong by spells, and
gradually it increased.
