Utilization Of the Fund.
At the figures quoted the rent of the
ground will not add very much to the
revenues of the government. 1t Is esti-
mated, however, that the money thus re-
allied from the annual rent of one acre
of ground will pay for the building Of

As explained by Capt. Hannum. the
plan is designed more with the view
of conserving and preserving the natural
resources than with any idea Of increas-

be in line with the general project for
the permanent improvement Of the Ana

provisions of the pending river and har-

2S,259 domestic orders, with a total

twelvemOnth, and their valuation was
but $1,69S1S.
While the Phoenix office issues more
orders than it pays, the average sum of
the paid orders is so much greater that
it brings the total far above the total
of the orders issued. The contrary is
the case in Bisbee, Globe Jerome and
other places with a large foreign popu-
latiOn. In those places there are almost
no orders at all to pay, while they are
issued in large volume.

That the pOstOffices of Arizona do a

In Arizona there are POI money or

cal year ending June 80, 1910. was
351.S57, with a total valuation of

During the same period 17,154 inter-

CROP YEAR REPORT
ON SALT RIVER VALLEY
Net Results AS Announced by the
Reclamation Service.

An interesting report of the opera
tions of the reclamation service in the
Salt river valley for the crop year of
1910 has been made by the engineer in
charge.
During the past year the service
maintained and furnished water
through 400 miles of canals for 131, 1864
acres, the largest area ever watered in
the valley. The water supply was am
pie throughout the year, although this
has been a season of unusual drouth
and low water. The lands in crop
received more than five acre-feet of
water. or sufficient to cover each acre
five feet deep. The maintenance and
operation of the vast system of canals
in the Salt river valley is a more COM
plicated and difficult problem than it
would be in the northern country, ow-
ing to the fact that the irrigation sea-
son is twelve months. Repairs and en-
Engagements must be carried on in con-
nection with irrigation. for there can
be no shutdown of the works.
In the valley, crops are growing all
the time. The harvesting and plant
ing occur every month in the year. An
enormous amount of work was required
to put the irrigation system in it's pres
ent condition. All the old canals
which were absorbed by the govern
ment were in need of repairs; most OF
them were too small and had to be
enlarged and many new canals were
constructed Today everything is
working perfectly and is probably sup
plying a larger area than any single
irrigation system i'm the United States.
Agricultural experts declare it is with
out doubt the most fertile and pro-
.ductive agricultural district in the
United States.
The most important single factor in

HOW BOARD SUPPLIED
VISITORS WITH ROOMS
CITIZENS ARE THANKED FOR AS
SISTANCE GIVEN.
Was a Large Listing of Rooms-Over
600 Persons Were Assigned.

Six hundred and fifty people We're
furnished with accommodations by the
board of trade during fair week
Though no accurate records have been
kept, it is known that this number is
far in excess of those who last year
found rooms through the board
A condensed report of what was done
for fair visitors last week has been is
sued by Secretary Harry Welch, and
is as follows:
November IL, 1910.
I'VE had actually 4S7 rooms listed
most of which were double rooms. and
some had extra cots. The files show
that we sent out approximately $50
people, Many of the rooms were filled
twice and some three times. The peo-
pie securing rooms We're accommodated
at all hours Many people did not reach
the board of trade until sometime after
the last trains We're in. For example,
on Thursday evening the last train ar
rived at 1920 p. m. and two gentlemen
and two ladies were accommodated
with rooms at 1890 and five gentlemen
at 1920 a. m. These people arrived on
the 1890 train.
THE office of the board was kept
open continuously from Sunday morn
ing at a. m. until Tuesday morning at
a. m. Thereafter the office was open
from a. m. until . a. m. In addition
to finding the people with room ac-
commodations many daily were sup
piled with information concerning din
ing rooms, and a large number of the
people visited the office to look over
the papers that were on file from all
parts of Arizona. Visitors also made
use of the writing tables and the tele-
phones.
