CHAUTAUQUAIs IS B|G SUCCESS
 IN DOUGLAS

DOUGLAS, Sept. 21.-(special. J.
 Were the management of the chau- tauqua to do nothing more it has not failed since 1t brought to Douglas sunshine" Hawks and gave the sub scribers and the others who were for tunate enough to purchase single tickets for Saturday night a treat so dlst1nct as to warrant the assertion that the lecture was far and away the best which has ever been delil- cred in Douglas. In saying this the international is voicing the opinions .of practically every one of the large audience which filled the amphithea- Ire Saturday night.
 Sunshine" Hawks is more than lecturer. He is a rare combination of the natural born comedian and the natural born tragedian. His con trol of facial expression can only be compared to Richard Mansfield In his great play of Dr. Jeckyl and Mir hyde. Beyond tnls -'sunshIne Hawks has studied human nature and has solved that problem until 1t is an open book to him.
 He uses a few grains of nonsens to season a dish of sound commo.i sense and does it as successfully as the greatest chefs prepare their most delectabIe connections to tickle the palate of the epicure.
 sunshine" Hawks makes one laugh, and one is glad to laugh. He goes further and not only makes one cry but glad that he can cry. He IS in a distinctive class of his own ana has won the hearts Of all of Douglas who heard him on Saturday night i All who were then present want to hear him again next Friday and they are spreading such glowing accounts of what he sad and how he said Ii on Saturday night that his next ap pearance win bring out one of the largest auriences seen during the | Chautauqua course and the reception which he receives next Friday night will make him feel that he is truly in the house of his friends.
 It was not alone what he said, nol how he said it that won his audience Others may express the same thou ghts as he but the combination O what he says, how he says lt, ana withaI his peculiar and pleasing per sonality combined to make him more pleasing than the others. He hal left his imprint on Douglas and I will be a long time before he is for gotten.
 It was a crowded auditorium tha greeted Rev. J. l.. Stewart when h' mounted the Cnautauqua rostrun last night.

ALLUV|AL SOIL
 IF ARIZONA
 RICH AS EGYPT

" As OuTious Idcl-dnd one which wildly illustrates what manifold va riety of land wealth is to be found within our own borders-that the riy- CT valleys of Arizona resemble closely the Nile delta in soil. climate and ir. rigation, they contain the same allu- riched by the silt-laden waters.
 Arizons's Potential Wealth.
 The resources of Arizona are not generally appreciated There are inn mense riches hidden in it's hills. The copper, gold and silver mines now worked are valued at $300,00O, 900. Though technically desert" it has a large arabic area and the soil has 9 to 30 per cent of plant-feeding soluble matter-while over in Europe they wrest a living out of land which has only per cent.
 Int Salt River Valley
 is an oasis in the desert-one of the glories of Arizona. To the traveller ap- preaching through the solitary gray plains and dark brown mountains, its luxuriant vegetation is a sight that amazes and delights. The capital city, Phoenix, possessing every modern fed- ture of civilization. is one of the mag ical results of irrigation. As in Da- mascus, its wealth is the gift of it's streams. The Salt River has been a scene of irrigation enterprise since 1865, but progress has been ten fold more rapid in the past ten years. The valley is 40 miles long by to 15 wide, and its arabic area is about 400, 900 acres. The rain fall being only to inches annually, the valley is wholly dependent on a supply of water from the Salt River and the Verde. This supply is fortunately assured by the immense drainage area-90 per cent of which is under Government inspec- tion and control, in Indian reserva- tions or national forests-and also by the Government irrigation works un- dertaken at a cost of $6,O00000.
 The BIossoming Desert
 Grasses and cereals flourish in the ! Salt River Valley. Alfalfa, the favor ite forage of great rivers. There is !, the same dry, bracing atmosphere, un. , der a cloudless sky. Irrigation is just as necessary and just as magical in it's effects. But there is this great difference in favor of Arizona: Mod ern farming methods and machinery will quadruple the yield per acre and render farming immensely productive. and supplies the best of grazing.
 The Alfalfa

 T had to chain him. said Mrs. Stetka to the police, in giving her ex, planation. He is so bad. He runs away and steals newspapers and can't do anything with him to keep him home but to tie him. I am so busy all the time I can't keep my eye on him and all the rest of the children and do my work at the same time''

With prices Of alfalfa hay at y1O or SIP a ton, there should ne profit iA such crop-one, too. which enriches
 rather than imDoverishes the land. Good yields of wheat, barley and oats are obtained. With the increase of land values. owners of the large farms will quickly cut up their holdings. Ten acres of this valley land is sad to be ample for a family.

The Yuma Project

Another great project in Arizona is the diversion of the waters of the Colorado river by means of Laguna dam, 10 miles nodth of Yuma into two canals. The bottom lands com prise 17,000 acres in the Yuma Indian Preservation; in California. 20,guO cres in the Gifa River Valley in Ari- zona and 53,O0O acres in the Colorado River Valley in Arizona. Here the soil is the same rich, alluvial deposit as in the Salt River Valley, producing with the application of water enor- nous crops of alfalfa, vegetables, sugar beets, nuts, melons, fruits, cot ton, cane and corn.
Bisbee daily review., 1909-09-22
semi'TrOplcal Fruits

A considerable acreage is devoted to orange culture-the fruit command ing high price in eastern markets, which it reaches very early. Grape fruit does well. Melons and canta- loupes of the Valley are famous for their flavor. particularly those of Mesa. Olives are thriving crop, the keeping quality and flavor of the oil being excellent.
 Other fruits grown successfully are the peach, apricot, pear, fig, almond. grape and strawberry. Profits from strawberries of $500 to 5000 an acre are reported.
