COLLEGE WIDOW PLEASES
AUDIENCE AT THE MASON

Patrons of the local theaters are be-
coming very familiar with college yells.
They know a freshman when they see
one now and the sound of an old famil-
lar student song rouses the college spirit
in every listener. 1t makes no differ
ence whether or not one has ever been
student in such an institution, the
course of college education which the
theatrical management has been Offering
this fall supplies all the requisites except
perhaps some of those dry and rather
needless branches which old fogy ''prex-
ies'' and fossilized ''profs" still insist
upon including in their curricula.
The College Widow last night at the
Mason offered a liberal lesson in the
schemes which go to make a winning
football team. This great game. admired
by hundreds of thousands and under
stood by hundreds, demands good play
ers who must be had and held at all
hazards If the girls of the college take
hand in the matter and get a good
player who is bound for a rival school
they are acclaimed as heroines by their
school fellows and their efforts are re-
garded as most praiseworthy.

ly anyone realizes the opportuni- ties presented therein.
 A veritable object lesson in this regard has been presented by the enterprise and energy of Mir. H. w. Kelsey of Nogales, at the Mari posa ranche, on Potrero Creek, but two and one-half miles in a north erly direction from Nogales, on the county road between the line city and Calabasas. This ranche is situated at the debouchement of Mariposa canyon into the Potrero Creek, and it has been known many years as one of the oldest ranches on that road. As the can yon spread out at the junction there was formed a beautiful natu- ral park of about 125 acres, with a rich growth of natural grasses, long used as a potrero (pasture) from which the creek takes it's name. Frequently these grasses have been cut for hay, and the first year of ownership MT. Kelsey realized a couple of hundred dollars from the wild hay so cut from the place. Many years there has been com tortable house upon slight emin- ence alongside the road, overlook ing the place, and therein there nave been many tenants in sequent succession. But no one ever con- sidered the latent possibilities of the rich alluvial flat spread out be- low until the place passed into the

Few realize how great the un-
 utilized agricultural resources of santa Cruz county in the fertile areas along the Santa Cruz and
 Sonoita rivers and in the tributary creeks and arroyos, with the abundant underhow from which to draw water for irrigation, where the natural flow of the stream Is not available. Passing along the course of any of the creeks and arrovos, of which there are many in the county, the traveller comes frequently to small dells or di- minutive parks of one hundred acres or more of rich alluvium, rank with a native growth of vegetation, that are given over gen. erally to pasturage, yet which with cultivation and irrigation can be made very productive; and the water for irrigation is close to the surface in an abundant underhow, which may be utilized easily by digging wells and pumping. In any of these spots, with moderate outlay of money and we'll directed labor there may be established the foundation of a fortune. Yetshard-

Board of Trade.

The regular weekly meeting of the board was held at the board rooms on Tuesday evening; seven directors and four visitors present.
 The secretary reported that dur ing the week last past he had sent out 105 personal letters and had also sent out POO pieces of printed literature.
 Owing to the fact that MT. An derson's withdrawal from the work of the gauging station on the Santa Cruz river had created a vacancy the irrigation committee brought in report recommending that MT. Jas. A. Harrison be appointed to fill the vacancy. The report was unanimously adopted.
 The president appointed the fol- lowing committee to have charge of the arrangements for the annual meeting of the Board of Trade which occurs on August 9th; fol- lowing is the committee: MT. H. NJ. Chapman, chairman; Messrs. Schuckmann, Kelsey and Escalada. This committee will at once begin arrangements for the most import ant meeting of the year, and will make a report on results of their work at the coming weekly meet ing.
 A series of resolutions were of fered by MT. Chapman, thanking the president of the board for his faithful services to the board and the community, and the resolu tions were unanimously adopted. Tn e meeting then adjourned.

chuca mountains there are many opportunities.
 And there can be no question whatever about the markets. The expansion of the mining regions in this vicinity assures great and permanent markets for everything than can be raised on all the lands available, and many times more. Cananea, with its great and grow ing possibilities, is but seventy-fve miles from Nogales, and will be connected by rail with the line city in the near future. There is now population of 25,000 in that great copper camp, and within five years there will be 50, 900 soulsint the camp The nearer camps of Santa Cruz, Du- quesne, Promontorio and Mowry,

ownership of MT. Kelsey, some five years ago. The apparent richness of the soil, and the great profusion of growth of the natural grasses convinced him that with cultiva- ton and irrigation the land could
 be made very productive, and that in the underfow there was an un- failing source of supply from which to draw all the water for irrigation of all the crops that could be

IS not an extravagant estimate to put between 5000 and $6,000 as the value of the hay crop this year. Since harvesting and baling that crop the land has been plowed and planted with corn, beans and mil- let, all of which are growing finely. Twenty-Five acres were seeded with millet, and fifty acres each with corn and beans. Mir. Kelsey esti- mates that from the millet he will realize a crop of fifty tons which will be sold for fodder, and will realize about 1900. And he esti- mates that with ordinary success and no bad luck the fifty acres of beans will yield one ton each, that at two cents per pound will yield $40 per acre, and that the fifty acres in corn will yield 1000 pounds to the acre, that will realize about $1 500 for the crop. Taken altogether the second crop will yield, is the estimate of Mir. Kelsey, about two-thirds as much money as will the first. The total yield for the season is anticipated to run from $S,OO0 to 5000, from 125 acres of land. More than $5,000 of the amount are harvested al- ready and now under cover. The rest are coming on and, while 1t IS not yet as safe to count the yield as it will he after the harvest time, the probability is reasonably with in the limits of speculation.
 Now there are many such spots in Santa Cruz county. Some of them are upon government land, to be had for the taking, in com pliance with the land laws of the United States. Many more are in the ownership of native Mexicans, whose holdings may be bought reasonably and cheaply. Along Potrero Creek all the way from Nogales to Calabasas are several such places. The Santa Cruz river, from the line to Tubac, distance of twenty miles, offers many op- portunities. Also along the So- noita river and other streams that may be mentioned, and particularly along the west slope of the Hua-

lation and importance also. Two thousand tons of hay per month pass Nogales for consumption in Sonora. And that is but one pro- duet that can be raised on these lands that is imported. All come from the Salt river valley or from California. So what is raised here commands the California price with the freight added. And the growth and consumption of these regions can be overtaken never by the productive capacity of the lands available, even though were every opportunity herein indicated siezed and improved to the utmost.

planted. To Mir. Kelsey's mind it was plainly reasonable that if cap illary attraction from the underhow would feed the native grasses so abundantly, from the same source there could be made by pumping a flow to the surface all the water that would give thrifty growth to any indigenous product that might be planted. With that idea he had dug we'll twenty-seven feet in depth, oval in form, SIX F feet in dimensions. That gave such a flow of water that sinking any deeper was difficult, if not impos- sible. Then in the bottom of the we'll he sank two 12-inch iron cas- ings. perforated, thirty feet deep, and pumped out the sand. Those are feeders to the we'll above. Dur ing many seasons the water ris- es in the well, to within a very few feet of the top, and the pump does not lower appreciably the water level. But at other times suction pipes are attached to the pump, and the water is drawn from the feeders below. The we'll sunk as described there has de- monstrated the correctness of Mir. Kelsey's theory, and an abundant supply of water was assured. Then there was installed 30-h. D. boil CT, and a large Cameron pump with 10-inch suction and an S. inch discharge, with a pumping capacity of 600 gallons per minute. To conserve the water and facili- tate its handling there was thrown up square embankment five feet high enclosing an area BOOK 15O feet, with capacity for impound- ing more than one million gallons. From this reservoir ditches and laterals convey the water wherever required over an area of 125 acres under cultivation.
 Two crops are planted and har- vested each year. First the land is put into barley, which is cut for hay. Then it is plowed and plant ed with corn, beans, etc. Two of the engravings upon this page are from photographs of the crop oi barley hay cut and baled this year Under the protecting roof shown in the engravings are 300 tons oi good barley hay, not a bale oi which has been sold for less than $14 per ton and it is early in the season.
