THE ARIZONA CLEANING AND
 DYEING WORKS.

An indispensable necessity in every community is the dyeing and cleaning establishment. and Phoenix has one of these in the Arizona Cleaning and Dyeing Works. located at 239 East Washington street. that is in every way equal to the best.
 It is under the management and personal supervision Of Mrs. Lillur Wilson. and Is equipped with all ap- pliances that tend to send out superior work. She dyes. cleans and presses ladies silk and woolen dresses. shawls and clothing. curtains. portiers. mems suits and clothing of every descrip- ton. The most delicate garments are made to look like new without In any way injuring the color or shrinking the goods. Goods are called for and de- livered and any one desiring a general renovation of clothing should ring up black 35S and receive back. bundle of satisfaction. Every parcel before leav- ing the establishment must pass the inspection of the proprietress. whose long experience in this line enables her to execute work on the most expensive and delicate fabrics.
 Mrs. Wilson is an energetic business woman who has established a patron age that reflects credit upon her ability.

cry wagons, and continued to deliver he put in a Corliss engine and ten ton plant In 1897 his son. w B. Lount. bought an interest in the plant that he had helped his father to es- tablish. and upon the death of the elder MT. Lount in 1901, he took sole charge of the business. In 1899 the factory was again enlarged by the in stallation of 20 ton machine and this year the capacity was raised to 35 tons per day. The plant now is one of the most modern that can be found any where and the building is supplied with 69s00 cubic feet of ice storage room, where the ice that is used 10 ship the melon crop is stored until it Is needed. Mir. Lount also takes the out put of the Peoples Ice and Fuel Co., which amounts to 25 tons per day. and has absorbed the plant of the Arc tic Ice CO.
 Thus we see the early efforts of the father brought to fruition by the busi- ness sagacity of the son, and the ice business of the town In the hands of a Lount. just as it was in 1879 when the first plant was installed. Not withstanding this condition. ice is served to patrons here at exactly the same price as is paid by the consum- CTS in Los Angeles, where there is great deal of competition and where fuel oil. which is the chief item Of ex- pense in the manufacture of ice, is only about one half the price it is here.
 We do not think another town in America can offer q parallel to this condition-one man having an abso- lute monopoly of q business. yet sell ing his product for the price asked in a field where there Is lots of competi- tion and where the cost of Tnanufact ureing is at least, twenty-five per cent. cheaper than il Is here. It Is this live and let live spirit that has made Phoenix such desirable place of resi- dence. and it is such men as MT. Lount who are helping to build the Greater Phoenix that is bound to come in the near future.
 The plant is under the supervision of Eugene Jackson. who came to Phoenix as a boy in 1876 and has been identified with the plant since 1881. Much of the success in this bus mess. like in every other successful concern. is due to the character of the people with whom the head of the concern surrounds himself. and in the phenomenal development of the PhOe- nix Ice factory. Eugene Jackson has played conspicuous part. He has been faithful to his trust and has giv- en of his best efforts to foster and build up the business.

BARTlETT-HEARD RANCH

About two miles south of the City of Phoenix. just across the Salt River. lies what is probably the largest and best improved alfalfa ranch in the United States. This INDperty belongs to the Bartlett Heard Land & Cattle Company, who have in cultivation nearly 1000 acres. about 5000 of which are in a fine stand of alfalfa.
 This company bought this tract about eight years ago from the Mich cal WorInser Estate. The larger DOT tion of the land purchased had been cultivated largely by renters. for from twenty to thirty years. but on pur- chasing this tract The Bartlett Heard Land and Cattle Company immediate ly began the process of making the property a model ranch under scien- tific and economical methods of irri- gation, and today the vast fields of practically weedless alfalfa of this company bear witness to the success of their efforts. In fact the alfa ta raised by this company is so well known for its high quality that it us- ually commands a price in excess of the regular market.
 The Bartlett Heard Company, in ad- dition to raising alfalfa to supply the hay market, are large feeders of range cattle; they also make a speciality of raising high grade. registered cattle. Their fine herd of Durham cattle is headed by Chief Douglas. who won first premium in his class at the last two Territorial fairs. and they also have in their herd, Craggs b. a very re- markable Durham heifer. who won sweepstakes at the last Territorial fair. and comes from the famous Mar tin Flynn Short-horn herd Of Des Moines, Iowa. as does Chief Douglas.
 This company are also raisers of work horses and mules and have the distinction of winning the majority of blue ribbons in mules at the last three Territorials fairs.
 The headquarters of this company, consisting of quite a little village mostly Of brick buildings, is near the center of their ranch. near which is the largest and finest grove of euca- lyptus trees in the valley, and throughout the ranch this company
Arizona republican., 1908-04-01

are now growing groves of these high ly desirable trees.
 At four points throughout the prop erty the company have erected ranch homes. most of them of brick. and at al of these places attractive grounds are maintained.
 In addition to alfalfa raising and cattle feeding. the Bartlett Heard Company are large raisers of grain and alfalfa seed, and are now planting part of their land to cantaloupes for shipment the coming summer; while on the south portion of their ranch. close to the mountains. they are pre- pairing to put in quite an extensive tract in oranges on the advise of ex- perts from California who pronounce this among the finest orange land in the Salt River Valley.
 IL had originally been the intention of MT. Bartlett and MT. Heard, in de- veloping- this property to its present fine condition. to keep the ranch in one holding making it the finest large ranch in the world. but owing to their great interest in the reservoir and the development of the valley, they are now seriously considering sub-dividing about 4500 acres of this property. un der the San Francisco canal. into twenty and forty acre farms. to be handled by colonization with the idea of making of this tract the model IT, rigation colony in the Salt River Val ley. If this Is done the colonist would have no uncertainty before him as he could take hold of land already in q high state of cultivation. with an as- sured water. supply. with soil prov en to be ideal, and with the great ad ditional advantage. under the liberal plan proposed. of buying not only at very reasonable prices but when de- sired. on a system of deferred pay rnents at q moderate rate of interest

grown, after the first crop of hay has been made with time enough left to get three months pasturage from the same land. ..-. ---.4s- .
 Crops other than alfalfa are profit ably grown here. The available area being limited the farmers who do grow grain receive the same price for it at home as quoted in Phoenix. thereby saving the cost of hauling to market. The stockmen need all the grain that is grown in Buckeye to SOW in their alfalfa fields to make winter feed.
 Buckeye being a less distance from Gila Bend than Phoenix. large num- Der of fat steers are shipped iron, Gila Bend to California with sav- ing to the shipper of about s30 per car; for that reason the buyers look tO Buckeye first. Cattle begin to move from there before they have con- sumed any expensive feed. resulting in a greater profit to the owners.
 Schools. There are four good schools at Buckeye, favorably To- cated for the convenience of the MfO are ate enough to call Buckeye their home. Many of the religious de- nominations are well represented.
 The Free Methodists have a church building and parsonage at Liberty. and the Baptists two churches, one at Buckeye and another near the Palo Verde school house in the lower part of the valley; all of which are well attended by appreciative audiences.
 Many very valuable horses and mules are also raised here. w B. Long has an imported Percheron horse of as good breeding and quality as can be found in any country. P. H. Moore has a gaited saddle stallion that has proved very profitable to him and his neighbors.
 John R. Norton, w. A. Evans and s. P. Wayne, can be included in this list as being owners of very useful and valuable horses and cattle. As being very successfully engaged in the cattle business could be mentioned George Day who has Q fine herd of registered shorthorns. the increase from which are readily sold at a very early age at satisfactory prices.
 Also included in this list as being successfully engaged in the business could be mentioned J. R. Norton, W. R. Long. P E. Moore, w. A. Evans. Conger & Johnson. John G. Roberts. Benson Bros. the Wessex Company, F. B. Collins. H. A. Hammels, John Knight. and many others.
 James s. Day for many years was very successful in raising beef steers for the California Market. Geo. Day is now carrying on the same business and the general method pursued was. and still is. to keep number of well bred large cows on the ranch and feed the steer calves from these cows together with others bought from men owning good cows. These calves mature very early and weigh when 2i months old about 1150 pounds each. and sell for to Az cents per pound. thus realiz- ing a very handsome profit in q short time.
 Fruit-Very little attention has been paid to the plantig of orchards and vineyards. but where any interest has been manifested in this line very suc- cessful results have been obtained.

 This exceedingly fertile valley com mences twenty-five miles from Phoen- K In southwesterly direction and a little west of the confluence ofthe Salt. Gila and Agua Fria rivers.
 s There are sixteen thousand acres of land that can be irrigated from the Buckeye canal; ten thousand of which are new under cultivation, the principal crop being alfalfa.
 Because of the fact above stated in reference to the three rivers, and the seepage derived from the large body of land irrigated in the Salt River val ley an abundance of water is assured for the small area of cultivated lands.
 Because Of the close proximity of the White Tanks mountains no more land can be covered by the canal so the liberal supply now possessed will al- ways be available for the above mem ticned sixteen thousand acres of land. It cannot be diverted to any other land.
 Very recently the farmers who own the land bought, from the holding company, the canal system and are now operating it themselves. so the cost of water to them is the exact amount that is required to divert it from the river. and distribute it to the farmers. The cost of purchasing the canal amounted to seven dollars and fifty cents per acre, with ten years in which to pay for the same which is a very small amount as com pared with other irrigation systems.
 The quality of the soil as indicated by the government soil map, issued by the United States Department of Agri- culture. consists of four different kinds namely, Maricopa sandy loam, Marico- pa gravel. sand. fine sandy loam and Pecos sand. It will be noticed the four different kinds of soil mentioned. are the most desirable for agricultural or horticultural purposes, and respond very readily to any attempt at culti va,ion.
 A large per cent of the land now being irrigated is seeded to alfalfa as this is considered the most profitable crop. where plenty of water is obtain able every month in the year.

A large number of the people now liv ing there are dairying very success fully. many of ther1 having their own separators, others take the milk to a public separator at the town of Buck eye. from which place a wagon leaves every day for Phoenix with about two thousand pounds of cream.

 For several years quite number of farmers have directed their attention to raising alfalfa seed. Phenomenal profits are being derived from this industry. from five to six hundred pounds of seed per acre having been secured in many instances. and sold for from ten to twelve cents per pound. This is the one place where two crops of seed can be successfully

 I then bought so acres of land for s35oo.OO paying one third down and remainder on time. By close attention to business have been able to increase my holdings to 2s0 acres of the best of land. well improved have plenty of work stock, farm machinery. etc.
 In 1906 l sold alfalfa seed and pas ture to the amount of s60D0, and in 1907. s7000.00 worth. and am in far better position for 1908.

Hogs Hogs that have been raised at Buckeye have been uniformally ex- empt from any disease.
 The people are happy. and contented. being conscious of the fact, that the Buckeye country Is a very healthy place to live. and knowing that their property is increasing in value every day.
 But notwithstanding the fact that the people now living there are mak- ing money by farming the land, there are some who have more acres than they need. and are willing to sell part of their holdings. and as compared with prices prevailing in other parts of the Valley at very reasonble prices.
 B. A. Hadsell. a farmer. cattleman and bee keeper in the Buckeye Valley says:
 q was born in the thick woods of Ohio a half century ago. My educa- tion was with the ax and blow. Be- lieving that there were better oppor- tunities in the west, tried my fortune in Kansas during the drought and the grass-hopper time, but the mortgage took my farm.
 T was a commercial man on the roads for ten years; also took quite Atlantic to the Pacific, I never found climate or soil as good as this where a man with limited means could get a start and make money as fast as can be done here. with the advance of real estate. alfalfa cattle, bees, horses. hogs. etc.
 q came to this valley about eight years ago with nothing: l hauled wood 35 miles at $500 cord with which I supported my family; 1 bought claim for 1850; paid part in wood and the balance on time, which l have since improved and is now worth 5000. took bees on shares traded wood for store boxes and worked them over into bee hives. l now have ten large apia- ries under the Buckeye. and ship my honey by the carload. l first took in cattle to pasture. finally bought g cows and calves on one years time at ten per cent interest. disposing Of them at the end of the year at a clear profit of s240.00. after counting out the pasture and interest. I then bought l60 calves and have been turn ing off from three to five thousand dollars worth of cattle and honey each year since. 1 have laid up about s1i.- 900 in the past five years besides graduating four children. which l am confident l could not have done in any other country"

PHOENIX ICE FACTORY.

There are not many instances where man establishes a business in a town and after a lapse of nearly thirty years still continues to control the line in the town where he established the trade. But this condition is true of the ice trade in this city. ss..ssse.
 In 1879. L. D. Lount came to Phoenix and put in an ice plant with capacity of one half ton a day and had his product delivered to his customers in wheel barrow. Even in those days he built a reputation for square deal ing that increased his patronage to such an extent that in 1882 it became necessary to. enlarge the plant. which he did. putting in a five ton machine. The business had outgrown the wheel barrow stage and he put on city deliv-
