CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
 INTERESTING SESSION
The Question of Securing South Side
 Sugar Factory.

The most important feature of the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce directors in the library rooms Tues 1 day evening was in the hearing of the report of the committee appointed to ! investigate the probability of securing a sugar factory for the south side, with the probable location at Mesa. It was brought out that there is a condition made by the Southwestern Sugar and Land company and that is that the Mesa farmers grow enough sugar beets to warrant the building of another fac tory. IL was understood at the meet ing that the sugar beet company is ready to build another factory just as soon as the business will warrant another, and in order to accomplish this end it has begun to appear that the Mesa ranchers hold the key to the situation. In other words, if the Mesa farmers will plant enough beets they will be given a factory The chances are that the Chamber of Com merce directors could resolve and offer their moral support. but in the end the sugar company would be un-
 
 the sugar company wants is sugar beets, and as soon as the ranchers get ready for another factory they will be accommodated.
 From the indications evidenced by the amount of queries concerning this section of the country it appears that Mesa is to enjoy a greater influx of land buyers than ever before in her history. The real estate men are com mencing to enlarge their lists and get them in shape for the coming fall AL ready good many strangers are ap- bearing on the streets and, in the opinion of a good many of the old timers. there are more people here at the present time than during any previous year. The short crops throughout good many of the east ern and middle states. it is believed l will furnish their share of the men who desire to find location in the Salt | River valley.

The Town's Delegation to the Dollar

The managers of the Bryan banquet which will be held in Phoenix tonight, in their efforts to draw a headline so high that no republican could look over or no ar-democrat could peep under, never gave a thought as to whether the rock ribbed, dyed the wool democrats of Mesa could be al lowed to enter. They knew the Mesa democracy to be the guaranteed kind. It has only been year ago that the story went the rounds that a school bond election at this place resulted in five votes being cast for Mark Smith.

RIG FOR DESERT WELL
 HAS BEEN ORDERED
Move of Queen Valley Development
 Company.

Since the incorporation of the Queen
 Valley Development company for the
 purpose of putting down a series of
 wells on the desert south and east of
 Mesa which will be used for irriga-
 tion purposes there has been an 'if'
 spelled with a large I before nearly every proposition that has come up for consideration, but it has begun to appear that at least one plan has been matured. for the drilling rig, a Marietta manufactured by the Lie decker Tool company. has been ordered and will arrive and be put to work not later than November l. Several propositions were put up to the com pany, but the directors have had in mind Ihe purchasing of a rig that would stand the test and so there might be no hitches after the work was actually begun. In this respect they had the information available of the government men who are drilling the wells south of town. The rig ordered is the same as that used by the government on the deep wells. It is equipped for boring a six teen-inch hole and to a depth of 500 feet should it become necessary. It has been proven, however, that water can be had at the 300-foot level in such quantities that it will rise to the 1OO-foot level.
 The drill will be under the direction of A. R. Rowland, who has been with the government in the same capacity until a few months ago. The first well will be put down on the Rowland tract. which is located in section 24, township l south and range 6 east The advantage in drilling at this point is that the success of the flow will go a long ways toward proving the section intended to be irrigated.
 The plan of the company is to allow one share to every 160 acres of land. There are between fOrty-five and fifty shares already issued. The company concerns itself with the putting down of the wells, but does not extend to the securing of power for pumping purposes. That is a matter that each homesteader must take care of him. self
