Roads to Wealth
The Way is Plain, But Travellers Must
 Learn How to Walk.

There are numerous legitimate, clear ly defined methods by which a person of average intelligence, average ability and average occupation may so set aside his regular weekly savings, no matter how small, that in reasonable time, he may, with definicy be inde- pendent and in a position for larger in- vestments, or live comfortably from a compounded interest on his savings, as reward for his tenacity and thrift.
 With little earnest study, any per- son should acquaint himself with these methods 2nd be able to choose to his liking the one for his adoption.
 With the method chosen, the way is plain.
 All that remains to be desired now, is the cardinal virtue of will power.
 Otherwise, stick
 Any weak minded flop can have the desire for wealth. and even plan or start to save. It takes a man of large calibre to do it. To those who are in- vestigating the various methods as mentioned, we suggest a study of the several folders as issued, free, by the Phoenix Building and Loan associa- ton, AZ Uorth Center street. A postal to R. H. Greene, secretary, will bring them to you.
 One of these plans is the seven per cent gold bond. The provisions of these bonds furnish the required stim- ulus for keeping the Saving" interest afloat, and the profits of the system in- sure the largest interest earning capa- city provided by any iron-clad financial association.

William R. Hearst, Contestant |.

William R. Hearst has so seldom been right in his various public atti- tudes that many will arrive hastily at the conclusion that he is wrong now in his contest for the New York may orally. The fact that Tammany is against him is much in his favor, for he never before mad so tricky and dis reputable an enemy. The coming to his aid of District Attorney Jerome, who is a constitutional opponent of fraud and graft, is in his favor. Candidate Twins, who could not have a personal or political sympathy with MT. Hearst, is also supporting him in this contest because, as he says. he was defeated by fraud.
 The bulk of these frauds are alleged to have been committed in the noto- rious sixth assembly district, in which Leader Murphy resides.
 It is hardly supposable, on mature reflection, that Tammany would have given an opposing candidate a square deal there or in any other district Wlllllll US COllIOl- JeIOIIle IlllllSeil suffered equally within the jurisdic- tion of Tammany, and but for the de- velopment of his strength elsewhere he, too, would no doubt be a contest ant.
 Taking into consideration the oppor- tunities of Tammany hall it's we'll known propensity to not only take ad- vantage of opportunities, but to make them, and the exceedingly narrow margin by which it's candidate was elected, there appears to be better ground for contest than the average election contestant has.
 This time MT. Hearst finds himself supported by a strongly respectable element which mas no interest what ever in his political fortunes, but be- lieves him and the right of suffrage to have been victims of jobbery.

Of the thousands Of routine letters that
are written every day Is stamped or

officers and the like, the bank comes MS

carried at 2 cents an ounce or a cent

west SIDE ORCHARDS
GROW fine APPLES

Frank Chandler, who owns one OF
the large orchards nesting at the
foothills of the west side of the val.
ley, feels that his side Of the valley
Is not given the prominence it prop
erly deserves. Mr.. Chandler says the
West Side will produce more apples
this year than any other section OF
the valley.
He further believes that the foothills
of this side of the valley offer the
best apple orchard lands in the state.
That foothil' lands are best for ap-
Pies has been demonstrated for year
in Virginia, Arkansas and other east
ern apple sections. "Ten years from
now, the foot hills of the West Side
will be producing the bulk of the
Hood River apple CROP" says Mr..
Chandler. "Mr. Church has the larg-
est crop of apples this year be has
ever had, while the orchards of Mr..
Castner, Charles Chandler and Mr..
Pregge are loaded heavily. Yes sir,
the West Side can more than hold its
own when it comes to making up the
carloads of apples which leave Hood
River this fall. "
Mr.. Chandler has seven men busy
gathering his crop of 1900 boxes of
apples. Some of his Northern Spyes
yielded remarkably well this season.
From y nine year old trees he gath
cred II boxes which he sold for 81. 80
box. One of these trees yielded
II boxes, all of them four-tier.
