every possible advantage and safe
guard, Mr.. Maxwell employed two of
the most expert agriculturists In the
Salt River Valley, whose long resi-
dence there and familiarity with the
country peculiarly qualified them to
select land to the best advantage.
These gentlemen, the BroOmell Broth
ers, spent several months looking over
land and finally selected a tract adj
joining the tracks of the Phoenix &
Eastern Railroad, one mile from the
street railway in the city of Phoenix,
Immediately under the Salt Canal, and
having the oldest and best Of all the
old water rights in the Valley. To
these old water rights will be added
the Government Reservoir Right as
soon as the reservoir system is COM
pleted.
The soil in this tract is the finest
alluvial loan, resulting from thousands
of years of rich deposit from the Salt
River, but above all danger Of over
flow. For more than year the Rural
Settlements Association has been at
work preparing this land for subdi-
vision and settlement. 1t has been all
leveled and checked and distributing
| bitches and cross bitches built, the
avenues planted with palms and olive
: trees, and everything done to put the
tract in the best possible condition for
BODYBUILDING and for cultivation in
vegetables, and melons and all kinds
Of truck gardening and small fruit
and berry culture.
SURE CROPS UNDER IRRIGATION
For such products, the absolute Ger
tainty of water supply always and a
any time whenever needed without
any human possibility of shortage il
the corner stone and the only SURF
foundation for success. Any uncer
tainty' in the water supply means
failure.
Realizing this, and bringing to
solution Of the problem his long ex
Iperience and wide observation of tn
essential elements Of complete success
in the making of such homes as it ha
been planned should be made on thi
tract, Mr.. Maxwell went still beyon
the assurance even of water from tn
river and the government reservoir
and there has been put down on tn
property a group of wells, on which
pumping plant will be constructed
These wells have an ineXhaustible sur
ply of underground water which wi
furnish more water than can be use
for the irrigation of the lands in que'
ton. The pumping plant will be Of
ganized as a cooperative water con
pany so that each home owner in til
tract will have his proportion of owne
Iship in it, and the furnishing
pumped water to adjoining land ma
be made a source of substantial prof
. to those who are so fortunate as to
! co-owners in the plant None will
t allowed to become co-owners in it e
( cept those who acquire one of Il
Q tracts into which this Rural Settl
G ments Association land will be su
$ divided. 1t is therefore manifest tn
: the tract of land which is now bell
L subdivided by the Association und
It the direction Of Mr.. Maxwell, with N
Y j. w. Broomell acting as Local Sup'
e intendent on the ground offers t
;, following advantages to the hon
e seeker:
r First, a selection of the very b.
n tract of land so far as quality of
h land is concerned, that could be fou
II in the Salt River Valley-rich and
IT exhaustible alluvial bottom land,
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1906-08-10

win be developed for use by the resi-
dents Of the lands irrigated In the
Valley below from the reservoir, for
pumping water FOR irrigation and other
purposes. The work on this stu
pendOus government structure Is being
pushed forward with all practicable
haste. Il Is believed that in less than
two years from to-day the water from
the reservoir will be flowing into the
canal OF the Salt River Valley. In
much less time than that the govern
ment will be furnishing electric power
for running the pumping plants OF the
farmers In the valley and furnishing
electric power for all the purposes for
which power from this source can be
used.
SMALL GARDEN FARM TRACTS
More than a year ago Mr.. Maxwell
conceived the Idea that the highest and
best use TO which the lands under this
great government irrigation system
could be devoted was that they should
be subdiyided into small tracts for
garden farming, berry culture and the
growing Of small fruits, melons, and
other products Of intensive cultivation.
The raising Of poultry In all It's
branches would Of course be one of
the most profitable adjuncts of these
intenslyely cultivated garden farms
In the past this character Of land cul.
ture has not been practicable In the
Salt River Valley because of the fact
that at the season Of the year when
the water was most needed, there be
ing no reservoir the river was at lis
lowest stage, and the supply Of watel
the shortest All this will be changed
by the construction Of the Tonic Bash
Reservoir.
Believing that the first practlca
demonstration Of the profits to be de
rived from garden farms of this elias
should be so organized as to embed.

ing Phoenix. This lake will hold TX
times as much as the s million dol
lar Croton reservoir which has just
been constructed to supply New York
City with water, and it will hold more
than the great Assouan dam across the
Nile. Many of the day laborers on this
work are Apache Indians, now peace
full remnants of Geronimo's wild band.
A Power Canal has been taken out
above the reservoir which will carry
the water around the mountain side
above the level of this artificial lake,
to a point just below the dam, where
it win be dropped over in water
fall 200 feet to the power house. In
this way, and by other drops which
will be placed in the river and canal
system, twenty thousand horse power

river level. Eight hundred feet wide
at the top or curb, it will form a giant
wedge connecting the towering cam
yon walls, and become, as the en-
gineer's report states, as immovable
and everlasting as the adjoining rock.
1t will create a lake, backing the
water up the Salt River IA or 10 miles
and 10 miles up the Tonic. When the
reservoir is completed the water will
flow in the river channel for A miles,
and then be diverted by means of
canals to the irrigable lands surround

and village In the country. Il win

This movement for the building OF

Is a logical enlargement of the central

That idea was that the greater the

the greater the general prosperity and

The crowd yesterday was the

excited fans while outside of the

begging and pleading to get in.
The game itself was only an or
binary one and not of the nerve-rack-
4 ing kind that might be expected to
be the means by which the Sox fin
ished their remarkable leap to the
top. Every move the players made
was interesting nevertheless. for
there was still the small element of
uncertainty that caused the spectat-
ors hearts to sink whenever New
York secured the least advantage
and to almost leap out of their
threats when the Sox would make
an especially brilliant play.
At first the Highlanders seemed
to have the best of it. and for a
while hit Walsh with alarming fire.
