 there that has been done in long

 that they will have the pleasure of
 entertaining the members of the
 Phoenix Automobile club at an old
 fashioned barbecue, in the near future probably on April 3rd: the date was
 at first suggested as the 9th prox.. but as many have expressed themselves as more favorable to the former date. that will in all probability be a date marked down in the history of the Buckeye country as the beginning Of new era There will be prime barbe- cued beef, the Buckeye kind. bread. butter, coffee etc, to stay the hunger of the multitude, which We hope will include any parties who may have any kind of private conveyance, and who may be interested in the Buckeye country to the extent that they would
 wish to take longer than one day to look over the country. Such parties can find free accommodations for 1 themselves, and in case they come with teams, for their horses. over night: We expect much that will be of mutual benefit to Phoenix and the Buckeye country to come from thls meeting of the Phoenix businessmen i and others with our farmers. There are many people living in Phoenix
 who have never visited this part of Maricopa county, although located only | short distance west of Phoenix. This
 section has features of particular in- terest to the homeseeker of moderate means. Land Is low in price. as fer ! tile as there is In the world. an abun- dant water supply for every acre un-
 der the canal. The prevailing climate tof the whole valley is the kind that heals the sick, and that will permit YOU to raise oranges or any other kind | of fruits successfully produced in this
 valley. We have land that is produc- | ing more alfalfa seed per acre per year than any other section of the ! United States. We have a man who
 is third in the list of the largest own
 CTS of honey bees in the world. We have man. valuable young horses that i are beautiful to look at, the beef and dairy herds are a source of constant { and increasing importance as money makers.
 1 While we now have a population
 that is maintaining four full school houses, our greatest need is more set
 tiers and while we shall persist in telling the truth about the Buckeye country, at the rate new homes have | been established during the past win ! ter, land under the Buckeye canal will be selling for s2OO per acre within
