]. H. BARNETT.
The Pioneer Druggist of the Salt River Valley was Born in San Bcrnardino January 17, 1857.

When J. H. Barnett left Ventura, Cal, his native state, in December. 1881 he headed direct for the Salt Riv- CT valley His cash capital at that time was $S2, coupled with pluck. He got a job on the Mesa canal in the section known as the rock cut, and worked there for two months. then accepted d position with Goldwater &; Co. of Phoenix. where he remained for about ten months and returned to Mesa and worked on his ranch that he started to buy with other realty out of the $32 he brought with him. He remained on the ranch for eight years and on July 24. 1890. opened drug store in an adobe on the corner of the Main and Mcdonald streets. Mesa. and became post master by appointment or President Harrison, where he remain ed for q year and half, until he nov ed to a wooden structure built for him which he occupied, including another for four years. on the expiration of ms appointment. Twelve years ago his business had grown to such propor- tions that he decided to erect the Bar nett Block that is today one of the best brick buildings in the Mesa coun- try, having d frontage of 30 feet by lOO deep. two stohies high with arched fire proof basement and freight and pas senger elevator. it being the first building in the entire valley to install elevator service.

THE ARIZONA LAND COMPANY

The rapid growth and development Of Mesa and the famous country sur rounding it may be attributed in d great measure to the energy, sagacity and liberality Of the real estate deal CTS. The establishment of the Arizona Land Company a year ago is an eX- ample of what can be accomplished by a trio of young hustlers, who. during that time according to the Mesa Free Press. transacted the largest realty deal in the history of the Mesa coun- try. Their efforts. however, are not confined to large transactions, for their istings include all kinds and size of ranch and city property either i'm
 proved or unimproved. In addition they also negotiate loans in reasonable sums that oftimes helps prospective purchasers to acquire possession of a ranch with only small amount of cash capital to start on. Such loans usually bear eight per cent interest. Their Insurance department is repre- sented by five dollar for dollar com panies whose combined assets and

BEE CULTURE IN MESA.

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir:-Bee culture for one who iS adapted to that kind of work is one of the most profitable industries in the Salt River Valley. on account of tine climatic conditions the bees can wOril long seasons and their supply of sweet flowers and blossoms is practically un- limited the year around.
 have an apiary Of 900 colonies sit uated two and half miles East of Mesa in the heart of the alfalfa grow ing district which last year brought me in $1000. and was what I consid- cred an average yield. The colonies with separator. extractor and para phernaiia necessary for the successful handling of bees cost me 5000. It can be seen from this that l am paying for the cost of my plant every two years which l figure is as good as invest ment as can be found in the Salt Riv- CT Valley. Last year I received 7c for my honey and 1 had 1j0 pounds of wax which l sold for = cents per pound.
 At the present writing the bees are getting their sweet from burr clover They /begin on the cottonwood which sometimes stay green all winter. They leave the clover for the alfalfa and then comes the mesquite. There is no finer favored honey anywhere than mesquite. It never becomes strong and always commands the highest market price.
 Bee culture is a business within it. self which needs considerable care and attention. One before entering it as an occupation should know that he likes that kind of work. The condi- tions around Mesa are especially suited for the business and it is money making proposition.
 IL is possible to double the colonies every year but I have never done that. l am getting to the age when be- lieve in working only a reasonable length of time each day and I cut down the real activities as much as possible.

past record makes comment umneces- sary.
 The Arizona Land Company was in corporated year ago. and the officers of. the organization are not only ac- tive in realty circles on the South side. but also in any matter that per talns to the future welfare of the Mesa section. The officers of the company are Chas. F. Jones. F. M. LeBaron and James Miller. Jr.
 MT Jones is d native of Indiana. but has been resident of the valley for the past three years. Previous to the formation of the company he devoted his time to newspaper work which has been not only of great value to the company. but to Mesa as well, for he originated q system of farmers let terS from the Mesa country to eastern papers around the section from whence they had come. that has been quite productive of good results. He is also Secretary of the Mesa Produce Grow CTS Association. and was delegated by Mesa Chamber of Commerce to see the ranchers in that section relative to having them tell of their wonderful crops by letter to the Republicans Home Seekers Edition.
 Mir. LeBaron is a native product of the Salt River valley who has spent the greater part of his life in the study of soil culture and gardening. and this fact has given him an insight on climatic and soil conditions throughout the valley that is an i'm portant asset in realty work. This coupled with his wide range of ac- quaintance with the ranchers in that section enables the company to secure the choicest listings. He is Nice-Pres ident of the Mesa Produce Growers Association aud director in the Mesa Chamber of Commerce. being Chair man Of the Exhibit Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. Mir. LeBaron has been highly successful in handling the real estate department of this company.
 Mir Miller came to the valley eleven years ago from California. and his knowledge of that section and his fla miliarity with this. places him in position to not only see. but know our natural advantages over the Golden State. He spent two years in the county recorders office and the knowl- edge he gained during that time in regard to conveyancing, gives him an insight that is one of the most inn portant features in 9 realty transac- tion And his careful work in regard to all legal papers is feature of vital importance not only to the companV. but to all purchasers as well. All legal papers are carefully examined before leaving the office and the com pany points with pride to the fact that in not a single instance have corrections been necessary.
 This company is proud of their rec ord of the past year and refer their prospective customers to any bank ar business house in the city to seek in formation as to their methods of doing business.
 They have published several book lets and folders descriptive of the val ley which they send out to all who ask for them. They originated the little folder.

THE MESA ICE AND
 COLD STORAGE CoMPANT.

The establishment of the above named company year ago is another instance of the unlimited faith Mesa business men have in their city. It is to be doubted if there is another town in America with three times the population. that furnishes customers and business men along their main business streets with a system of re- frigeration that is piped to them the same as gas OE water.
 To do this, the Mesa Ice and Cold Storage company was formed with such well known business men as Adam Gliem. president: Ernest Cris mon. secretary; and Chas. B. Crismon. treasurer. They have installed 15 H. P. motor and d 25 H. P. steam engine which operates the direct expansion ammonia system. which not only furn- ished patrons with frigidity but in addition has ample capacity at the plant. of 5000 cubic feet for the benefit of the public who do not wish to in- stall the system in their place, or are too far from the plant or street con nections.
 The plant is so arranged that they cannot only supply any demand the citizens may make. but ample space was reserved to enable them to enlarge from time to time to meet and keep ahead if possible. of the rapid growth of Mesa This modern 20th century system of refrigeration is not only cheaper and better than ice. but it is a necessity and convenience that usu- ally only metropolitan cities can boast
