ORANGE LAND
NEAR PHOENIX
IS VALUABLE
William Coleman Rogers of
New York Pays $4,000
Cash for 80 Acres In Salt
River Valley.
(Phoenix Republican.l

What is probably the biggest indi-
vidual deal in Salt River valley orange
land was consumated yesterday when
George NJ. Hahn sold 20 William Cole
man Rogers of New York his S0-acre
ranch in section 20 for a cash consid-
Grafton of $4,000. The transaction
was made through a local agency.
This ranch which is known as the
"Buena Vista" is situated on the
Crosscut canal about a mile from the
Arizona. Thirty acres of II are plant
ed in oranges which are now ready for
picking. The crop of oranges alone is
worth $4,000. The oranges grown
on this orchard last year amounted to
about that sum when marketed. They
were some of the finest of those ship
ped TO eastern cities. Besides the
thirty acres in oranges a large part
of the ranch is planted in alfalfa.
There are two houses on the ranch,
large barn and stables. II is about
Sb miles from town in one of the best
sections for orange raising in the
valley.
William Coleman Rogers is the son
of a well known New York banker.
With several other young men, he
came to Phoenix last summer after
looking over orange lands in Califor-
mia in the Riverside district. His com.
panions who, it is understood, were
schoolmates of his at Yale university,
have also at different times invested
in valley lands. They are Foster FL
Rockwell. R. J. SchweHpe and William
I Everett Fields. Fields and Schweepe
bought forty acres il section Al and
it is reported though not verified that
Rockwell has just purchased the Ari-
IONA Water company grove.
| They are all young men of the right
stamp for the future development Of
] the valley and their heavy invest
ments in orange land is hound to
make that class of land take a jump
! in price It is flatteriag compliment
: to the valley that after several
months residence and a careful in
| spection of California lands Mr.. Rog
/ ers decided to invest his money In the
valley rather than pay the exorbitant
prices demanded for fruit land about
Riverside.
The deal has been pending during
the past week and several realty y.Ien
tried to get the big deal.

SHELTER CITY
WILL TRY FOR
THE CONGRESS
Conceded That Douglas Is the
Place For Next Mining Con-
ference-Time Is Pressing
and Prompt Action Needed.
Douglas International-American. )

douglas Observation-Disclosures
A year ago the citizens OF Douglas
contributed fund tor the purpose OF
sending delegation 70 Joplin, Mis-
souri,, 70 make an effort to secure for
this city the 1898 annual meeting OF
the American Aiming congress. r..
s. Douglas, j. A. Lewandowskd, Char
ley Hanson and others went on the
trip to Joplin, and while they did not
secure the session of the congress as
desired, they succeeded in putting
this city in line for one OF the future
congresses of this organization.
II was then conceded by the ma
1ority Of the members of the Joplin
congress that the meeting to be held
in 1909 should come to this city. 1t
is still believed that the congress can
be brought to Douglas If a proper eff
fort Is made by this city The 1908
congress viii meet in the city of
Pittsburg on December 2 and continue
in session four days When this con-
gress meets there should be dele
cation from Douglas on the ground to
push the claims of this city for the
distinction of entertaining this impor.
tant and distinguished mining organi-
cation here next year. The widely
known and rich mineral section which
surrounds Douglas makes it an ideal
location for the session of the con-
gress.
Money Could Be Raised.
year ago the matter of raising
the necessary furd- for the deIega-
ton which was sent to Joplin was
easy and II is not to be doubted that
the people of Douglas would respond
as promptly and literally now as they
did year ago, when it is known that
the opportunities for success this
year are splendid, whereas a year
ago the effort was regarded as expert
mental but good way TO advertise
the city nevertheless.
At the Joplin congress F. S. Douglas
was prominent in the work for Doug
las and he made large acquaintance
among the members of the congress.
and to him many personal pledges for
the future were given. The friends
of Mr.. Douglas are of the opinion that
he should now accompany another
delegation from Douglas to Pittsburg
and follow up the good work done a
year ago.
The chamber of commerce has al
ready done some corresponding with
other sections of Arizona and practi-
cally has the assurance of a hearty
support from all the delegates from
Arizona to the congress at Pittsburg.
With this help assured there is lit
tie doubt that Douglas can win this
congress with a proper effort here.
Time is Pressing.

ROOSEVELT REJECTS
TERMS, SAYS RUNOR
President Will Not Compro-
mise With House on
Program.

According to a sensational and cir
cumstantial story in circulation this af-
ternOon, President Roosevelt has
changed his mind. and decided TO reject
the terms which ' ere offered TO him on
behalf Of the Ho lse leaders by Repre-
sentative Watson of Indiana for the
Government OF the legislative program
from the remainder OF the session.
Until after noon today It was supposed
the President had accepted with such
grace as possible the apparently newt
able rejection Of the large part of his
program by the powers OF the House
Then caue the remarkable story that
the Presiden. was determined to make
another effort to force his program
through. II was said that he woulc
probably send another message next
week couched in the most vigorous
terms and demanding that Congress a
least bring out the measures from The
committees and vote on them.
1t Is further said that the President
is prepared TO appeal strongly 20 the
country to sustain him in his insistence
that Congress put Itself on record. He
believes that II votes can be secured
most Of the measures in which he Is
deeply interested will pass.
Whatever justification there may b
for this report. 81 is certain that the au-
thorities on Capitol Hin have been z
good deal nustered about it. and tn,
understanding as to the future OF th'
session is just now very much mixed.

HOUSE CONSIDERS
PLANS FOR SUBMARINES

with much uncertainty, as If II sus-
pected a mine under it, the House to-
day tackled the submarine boat phase
Of the naval program, as outlined by
the naval appropriation bill. Chairman
Foss, IN charge of the bill, seemed to be
in an attitude Of dcdsing something all
the time. ana yet ali the time hoping il
would not be touched off.
With the four battleship proposal put
TO sleep, the submarine advocates felt
quite certain that they would get eight
submarines instead OF the four recon-
rnended by the President. There was a
tendency on the part Of the Treasury
watch dogs to give the President his
way, especially in view Of the woeful
defeat his battleship policy met yester-
day.
Everyone seems nervous about the
submarine scandal breaking out on the
floor and considerable anxiety was ex-
pressed as to where It might lead If il
should once get well StaIned.
The membership looked TO Representa-
tive Lilley, author Of the charges that
the Electric Boat Company had used
improper methods to secure submarine
legislation, to bring the matter up.
Nearly every member OF the Naval AZ
fairs Committee was on hand to de-
Tend himself against any possible at
tack for the part he had played in the
preparation of the bill
Although the attendance on the floor
was not so large as yesterday, more
members were within call Of the bells
than when the battleship question
came up
