There is not another portion of Mari copa county the size of Buckeye sup porting two creameries. The secret of it all is in the water supply. There IS more water for irrigation here than in any other agricultural region in Arizona. No night irrigating is done in this locality. There is sufficient water so that all work with the wa ter is accomplished in the day time, therefore better work is done and the farmersis happier and assured of longer life, as night irrigating is con-

 J. NJ Carter has moved from the Mrs. Frank Lyman place onto his own place and will erect a new house in the immediate future. He now has some of the material on the ground for that purpose.

 Considerable work is being done just now on the canal. The work of extending the south branch from the west line of the w. H. Howe ranch west one mile through the Clarence Carleton place has been completed The work was done with teams and followed up with a gang of Mexican shovelers under the guidance of Frank Fowler of Phoenix. After com pleting the new work they com menced going over the rest of the south branch of the canal and are removing all the weeds and other ob- structions. Work is also in progress on the main branch. this work is for the removal of some sand that has accumulated in the bottom of the ca nal from the head down to about the Fields ranch. The water is all out of the canal being turned out at the new waste gate. It has been out four days and will be out for two or three days yet.
 Some of the young people Of Lib- erty have for several weeks been holding dances in the Blackmer school house on Friday nights. The practice is very much objected to by the majority of the tax payers and patrons of the school for the reason that the desks, stove and other furni- ture are removed from the house, and with this unnecessary handling are more or less damaged and during the time that term of school is in pro- gress as at present, the pupils books are disarranged and general confu- sion and annoyance is caused the pupils and teachers on each Monday morning.
 Having has commenced on a num- Der of the ranches, considerable be- ing cut and some is now in the stack.
 Work on the Liberty brick yard is progressing nicely, all the fuel neces- sary to burn the kiln is now on the yard and it is expected by the man. agement that the fires will be start ed in about two weeks.
 Since the talk of a railroad from Phoenix to Buckeye there has been considerable interesting discussion as to where would be the best location for a road. Whether down the base line wagon road through the settle ment or out on the desert, has been the interesting point of the discussion. Some believe the road should be travelling through would see the fine ranches, homes, and cattle of our val ley. Others are of the opinion that people have a destination decided on before starting on a trip and do not care enough for what they see through a car window to make it worth the cost to the people of for ever enduring the annoyance of a railroad in such close proximity to their homes. It has been suggested that the proper place for the road would be on the desert just north of the canal, and that the canal com pany construct an automobile drive along the south bank of the canal This could be done with but very little extra expense to the company, as, all the earth necessary in the construc- ton of a good road along the canal will be eXcavated in the near future in the cleaning and enlargement of the canal, and about all the extra cost would be in the proper placing of the dirt. With a good drive along the canal bank it would be hard to find a prettier view in Maricopa county than to be seen looking south from the canal over the beautiful fields of alfalfa.
