large its Social Circle and add to the
charm of It's social life. One quarter
section of land thus subdividcd will
add thirty-two families to the com
munity and correspondingly increase
the trade OF the town.
This movement for the building OF
Homecrofts or small garden homes In
the outskirts Of existing towns or vii
lagos or in the suburbs OF the cities
is a logical enlargement OF the central
idea around which the National lrri-
cation Movement was organized.
That idea was that the greater the
number OF such small garden farms
the greater the general prosperity and
stability OF the country. The success
Of the Homccroft Village near Phoe-
nix will lead to its duplication In the
neighbOrhood of many other cities and
towns throughout the country.

will 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. 1t 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 Subdivided 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 its
branches would of course be one of
the most profitable adjuncts of these
intensively 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 he.
Ing no reservoir. the river was Mt Its
lowest stage, and the supply of water
the shortest. All this will be changed
by the construction of the Tonic Basin
Reservoir.
Believing that the first practical
demonstration OF the profits to be de,
rived from garden farms of this class
should be so organized a. to embody
The Delta independent., 1906-08-10

ness men especially Of every town
and village in the country. 1t will
be q demonstration and working
model for the subdivision Of land now
held In large tracts near every town
or village into small Garden Homes
where the prosperity Of the many
who will intensively cultivate such
small garden farms will contribute to
the volume of trade and prosperity
Of the merchants Of the town and eu-

culiarly adapted to the culture OF the
crops which yield the highest acreage
profit with intensive cultivation.
Second, water right in the Oldest
and best canal system in the Valley,
which will be added to by water
right in the Tonic Basin Reservoir
from the national government, and still
further supplemented by right in the
cooperative water company that will
own and operate the pumping plant.

work which brings me in four or FIVE
times as much money rs the salary Of o
senator. But if there is demand on
the part Of any considerable number Of

and I should run whether I got elected
or not" ...

past week or 80 and have hardly seen
paper from there, but I see the leg
islature has adjourned leaving the dis
pensary where it was. To tell you the
truth" he added, II think that is a
good thing; that is, since they killed
the Morgan bill. But since they fail
ed to pass that it is better not to mess
things up any more than they are.
It is best to let the people settle it, as
they will in the coming campaign"
How are the issues to be defined?'''
."Oh, I suppose Senator Tillman will
agi.ate it, favoring the dispensary, and
somebody will run against him, taking
the other side" *
