PROSPERITY SHOWING
 WORTH TALKING ABOUT
Large Valley Holdings Being Cut Up More Rapidly Than Most Peo-
 pie Imagine.

| Herewith is presented another pros perity" showing that is worthy the careful consideration of all readers, and l especially those who are not yet con vinced that the Salt river valley is moving along toward the fulfillment of its ambitions about as fast as the engine of progress can pull it without getting a hot box
 During last winter there was an ele- ment among the people that kept in sisting that business was not as good as the preceding winters. Facts were published from all the business barom- eters such as the postoffice, the rail road business, merchandising, etc, showing that they were mistaken; that there was a fine expansion of business in every way. The particular com plaFnt was that the larger land hold ings were not being cut up fast enough, that new settlers were slow in coming in. Finally in April when the great register was made up for the election of the Water Users association, The Republican printed tables showing that during the year preceding there had been a gain in voting acreage over that of the preceding year of 11,127 acres, or 10.2 per cent. By voting acreas is meant that no member may vote more than 16O acres, no matter how much land he owns. The add ed 11.127 acres shows that that much acreage had been clipped from the big holdings and put in the hands of oth- CTS in parcels of from one to 1G0 acres The showing might be subject to some discount for the reason that part of it no doubt was property transferred from a larger owner to some other member of his family and not in all cases represent a new settler. How ever an analysis of the great register showed that there were 301 individuals added to the voting list, or an increase of 16 per cent over the preceding year. By far the larger part of them were new land owners for there are not enough land owners in the valley with relatives unprovided for to cover more than a small percentage of the in crease.
 Now comes the finest showing of all, from an analysis of the great register prepared for the special election to be held July 21 on the power and canal
  for this latest great register was only finished last evening. II shows that there has been an increase in the yot- ing strength since last April of PAS, or 11.5 per cent in three months, and an increase of 549 in the voting strength since April, 109 It also shows that there has been an increase ;n voting acreage of II, ,967 acres, or 10 per cent, since last April. And it also shows that there has been q little more acre. age and almost as many individuals added to the voting strength in the last three months as there were during the preceding year, which in itself was a big increase over former years.
 Following are the tables by which | the above statements may be verified. l taken from the books of the Water | Users association by Secretary Van i der Veer, who has been working early | and late to get everything ready for ] the election:

NO HUMAN REMAINS
FOUND IN THE ASHES
Missing Mill Employe Is Not
Blamed for Fire

OAKLAND, Aug. Investigation
as to the cause of the alleged incen
diary fire that destroyed the Golden
Gate planning mill in Lincoln avenue
yesterday and search among the ruins
of the plant by Fire Marshal Ball have
ia lied to reveal any trace of Lewis
Gruvel. the discharged employe who
declared to his wife that he was going
to end his life and who was seen loiter-
ing about the plant a few days prior
TO the fire.
II Gruvel started the fire and then
perished in the flames his body was
reduced TO ashes, as nothing has been
found TO indicate that his burned re-
mains are on the permises.
Frank Gowan, owner of the destroyed
MILL today said that although he is
certain that the conhagration was of
incendiary origin he does not believe
that Gruvel was responsible. He fixes
the blame upon former employees, who
he declared, made an unsuccessful at
tempt to burn the mill several months
ago.

and the more convincing became the
assertion that they are making

1t may be true that some of the

call of the wild" but the percentage
of successful Indian students is
gratifying to those carrying on the
work of their education.

three are Indians" and they per-

clerical work with the dispatch of

Its a chance for personal observa-
ton, continued Mr.. Howard. In
my office at White Earth 1 have an
Indian girl for a stenographer who
receives a salary of 5000 year, and
she earns it."
One of the most encouraging signs
of Indian education is the desire
manifested by parents to get their
children into school. Not long ago
force had to be used. Now there
are, voluntarily, more scholars than
can be cared for and plans for taking
care of the increased attendance are
being made.
