PHOENIX, ARR, MARCH 2, 'O6.
To COLORADO STATESMAN.
DENVER. Colo.

In the early morning a few days
ago l rolled into Phoenix, Arizona,
capital of the territory and princi-
pal city of vast agricultural val
ley. Within radius of 20 miles
there are half million acres of till
able land; prospects as fine as one
needs. The National government
will build the great Tonto dam for
irrigation and allow settlers to pay
back the money on easy Install
ments without interest. The cost
of the dam will be S4,00O,00O. 1t
will be the highest dam in the
world-270 feet above foundation
and next to the great dam of the
Nile in Africa.
AS L came into this valley in the
early morn | was impressed with
the luxuriance of vegitation-sem-
tropical plants, for here l see the
umbrella, fan tree and pepper tree.
Here they grog oranges, grape
fruit, olives, apricots, figs, lemons,
peaches, grapes, pears, pumgran-
ates, strawberries, watermelons,
cantalopes are the main products.
Alfalfa finds an ideal soil and
cline here. A market for all these
at hand. Never any snow to speak
of and no ice, frost or real chilly
weather. In summer when we
complain of heat so much no one
ever suffers from sunstroke. No
wind over 5 or six miles an hour,
hence, in this fertile valley, hurri-
canes, cyclones and tornadoes are
unknown. A normal population
of 10000 is swelled during winter
to $4,000; level streets, churches,
schools, parks and driveways, ho-
tells and theatres make it one of
the favored spots of earth for the
man who would take life easy.
We have a colored population
here of about 400, most all of
whom are doing we'll. About so
persons are property owners and
are industrious people as evidenc-
ed by the different lines of activi-
ties in which they are engaged viz:
First-class dining halls, barber
shops, upholstering, plumbing,
janitors, city gardeners, laundrys,
club room, manicurist, dress max
ing, etc. Among the prominent
property owners we might mention
Mrs. Bolton, Robert Stearns, Val
entine, Caldwell, Steele, Nelson,
n. Green, j. A. Green, Wiggins,
Payne, S Smith, j. A.!Lewis. Sill
vers, Miss Essex, Vaughan and
many others.

Like ray of sunshine through
clouds of threatening darkness
came the news from Kalamazoo
Thursday last that Bert Burton,
colored, charged with criminal JAS
sault, has been acquitted of the
charge. Mr.. Burton and Miss
Daugherty pretty white girl, be-
came lovers in the town of Three
Rivers last year and, deciding to
marry, they ''eloped" to Kalamazoo
to have the ceremony performed.
In this they were frustrated, as
they could not find anyone to
marry them, and they stopped over
night at a hotel. Burton was ar
rested the next morning and the
girls father swore out a warrent
against him, charging criminal as
sault. Not only was Burton ac-
quilted of the charge, but the
crowd of white people in the court
room applauded the verdict. Miss
Daugherty was a witness in the
case and was true as steel to her
affianced husband, her testimony
being entirely in his favor.

WOULD Be VERY DANGEROUS.

Editor Every Evening: The writer
was SURPRISED to notice, in a report of
the proceedings of the last meeting Ct
the Street and Sewer Department,
that they are considering giving a per-
NIT for a railroad siding to cross at
grade on Front street between Wash
ingon and West streets.
Zach unprotected siding of this kind
is a menace TO life and Ircperty. This
applies particularly to Front street,
which is the ouly level thorouRhfare
running east and west in the lower
part of the city, and Is therefore trav-
eled by more teams than any other
street 10 this section. The argument
may be advanced that other sidings
across streets at grade have bsen al
lowed, why not this My answer is
that when the eity VAS much smaller
the danger Of such crossings was not
realized, and therefore the privilege
was freely granted by the city. As an
evidence Of this, when the old Phila-
delphia, Wilmington g. Baltimore rail
road was built, that company was al
lowed to lay all their tracks on and
aoroas streets at grade but few years
ago, when the Baltinore q Ohio Rail
road Company was building its line
through a section Of the city lat that
time the outskirts) they crossed above
and below street grades. Now the
successors of the old Philadelphia, Will
mington & Baltimore Ra ilroad Go.
the progressive Pennsylvania Railroad
Co., are spending millions to over
come the danger &C life and property
by elevatinR their present surface
track through our city wherever posi-
BILE, and through every other city in
which these same con ditions exist.
In the face of the above facts is il
right for the progressive city of Will
mington to take a backward step il
this matter ] therefore wish to pro
test against the Street and Sewer De
partment granting privilege for thii
grade crossing, which, II allowed, will
undoubtedly be a menace to life anS
property. Citizen.
