Cotton In Arizona.

Cotton has been known In Arizona
many years. Attempts to grow 1t COM
mercially. however have thus far met
with economic failure. due to absence
of concerted effort. inexperienced and
high priced labor and the belief that
with the same soil and water better
returns can usually be obtained from
other crops. Experiments carried on
in recent years have given more def
mite and favorable information con-
corning the crop IN this region. A
leadet Of the state experiment station
w Cotton Growing In Arizona" pre-
sents some of this and will be useful
to prospective planters. 1t is said that
the more recent experiments point
strongly toward Egyptian cotton as
best adapted to Arizona conditions.
The climate of the Salt and Colorado
river valleys IS similar to that of
Egypt. Both regions are irrigated and
IRE distinguished by the long growing
season. SO essential to the proper ma
turing of Egyptian varieties of cotton.

Mason City, Aug. 2S.--That ]. III.
McConlogue, mayor of Mason City. and
a member OF the firm of Glass & Nc
Conlogue, one of the best known law
firms in the state, got his start in life
known to the people of Mason City and
surrounding country. But such is the
truth and the circumstance is of par
ticular interest just at this time on
account Of an incident in connection
with the construction of a stretch Of
new street railway track on North
Main street. A member of the coun-
ell made the complaint before that
august body that the street railway
company was using an inferior quality
Of railroad ties in this Bit of construc-
ton. The new track will be under new
brick paving and the city is particu-
larly DESTROYS that the track be of the
best. The mayor acting on the COM
plant lodged by the alderman Went
out to look over the work and re-
ported that the ties were all right. Now
the people are asking what McCon-
logue, a lawyer, knows about railroad
ties.
when Mayor McConlogue was a
young man and lived on a farm near
Rockwell he had an ambition to be-
come lawyer. That ambition was
his aim and he kept the aim in view
always He worked on the section as
a common hand at 80 cents day and
saved enough money to start into
school at the State University of Iowa
During the summer vacations he con-
tinued his work as a section hand
and finally became foreman of
gang. BY that time he was almost
thru his work in the law department
OF the state university. and 1t is a
fact that he is always proud that he
earned his law education as a common
iaborer. The incredulous are now will
ing to believe that our mayor knows
something of railroad ties and track
construction.
