There are also several olive orchards
near Phoenix. One industry that
especially excited my curiosity Is. the
Cactus Candy factory ut this place.
l am told, however that there Is only
one variety OF cactus that can be
nsed. 1t Is known as nigger.head
cactus. have eaten some OF the
candy but cannot say like 1t.
l find great number OF people
here for the benefit of their health
who have pulmonary affections. l
can surely recommend the climate
for those Affected that way.
One industry that was new and
novel to me was ostrich farming.
There are several ostrcih farms near
Phoenix. The largest has l,l00 os-
triches.
North of Phoenix about 20 miles Ii
located the Glendale Beet Sugar fac.
tory. But do not know whether II
has proved profitable or not.
Fresh young onions and radishes
are served at the hotels and restau
rants at the present time Feb. 4th.
On Tonic creek seventy miles east
Of Phoenix, Is being built the Tonic
or Roosevelt dam. 1t is being built
by U. S. Reclamation Service. Work
was begun about three years ago and
II will .require year or more yet tC
complete 1t. When the dam is com.
pleted and Tonic Basin fills with
water II will make lake eight miles
long, and will contain about one mil.
lion three hundred thousand acre
feet, or about third more than the
great .Assonan dam across the Nile
river. The u. :. government has
built telephone line from Phoenix
to the dam, In which they used three
inch iron pipe for poles SEE In con,
crete. There are several undesirable
features and drawbacks The Two
principal ones being poor railroad
accommodations and no manufactur
ing, owing to lack Of raw materia
| such as iron, coal and timber. anc
there being only two branch lines o.
railroad. Both freight and passengel
rates are very high. There are man,
other very interesting features O.
which ] may write another time.
