of a Melbourne club. which numbers

Aduertising Is Necessary.

"The bu siness man who doesn t be-
lieve in advertising, says the Reading
Times, belongs in the same category
with the farmer who doesn't believe in
fertilizing the sol. The husbandman
can gather several successive but con-
stantly diminishing crops from the same
piece of ground without restoring to it
the life-giving element of which he
robs it; but there comes time when,
completely exhausted the land refuses
to respond to agricul ural entreaty.
The business deprived of the stimulat-
ing influence of publicity furnishes an
apt parallel-gradual failure, ending in
complete paralysis OF its functions.
Advertising, like fertilizing. is mighty
cheap in proportion to the money value
of the growth it promotes.

cares to make the inquiries through the

cares to make the inquiries through the
proper and easily available sources.
To tell of fortunes that have been
made and are being made every year in
pure agriculture and horticulture; to
speak of profits of from $500 to $1,000
per acre would. perhaps. only raise
smile and doubt in the minds of the
incrudulous and those who are not in
formed as to actual conditions. AS
matter of course, everyone does not win
who enters the race for fortune even in
this region of great results, but it is an
assured fact that anyone may, by apply
ing industry, skill, knowledge and fore
thought, a quartette of virtues which
are required in all successful enter
prises. reap such rewards as are un-
known or unattainable in most portions
of the world.
Now, it is well-known fact that all
these promising results in the Rocky
Mountain region are attained, in large
measure, by supplementing the insuffi-
cient rainfall by means of irrigation or
the bringing of water to what would 9th
erwise be unproductive ground, and it
is here that to the intending settler or
investor the quality of forethought or
preparedness for the future becomes
most essential. We have our own
especial problems in the Rocky Noun
tain region as to qualities of soil for
different purposes; problems as to the
duty, the rights to water, the construc-
tion of the different artificial channels
by which water is brought to the land;
the storage and conservation of every
gallon of water which can be made to
do duty and bring results, all of which
mean the outlay of more or less capital
brains and time, before results can be
secured.
Much of the subject of irrigation has
been written upon and talked of, lavish
ly as the West has been advertised,
there is still room and will be for
generations to come, for settlers, colo
nizers and investors in this remarkable
region. There are vast areas still, away
from towns and railroads, that will
maintain countless multitudes of people
in peace and prosperity when the same
spirit of the pioneer, which has made
us what we are, shall have pushed out
still further into the less attainable
regions and before many years there
will be very rev traces left of the great
American Desert.
1t is the fact that so much of this
area remains yet practically unexplored
that makes this such an inviting field
for the investment of capital, but to all
intending investors, whether large or
The Delta independent., 1910-01-14

small, there remains one word of warn
ing: "All that glitters is not gold!'
Do not be misled by well-worded adver-
tisements, until you have investigated
thoroughly the thing advertised. Use
the same discretion in buying irrigated
land, land to be irrigated, or water
rights, that you would use in the de-
tails of any business with which you
may be too familiar. Do not place too
much reliance on the promises of those
who have something to sell. Before
going blin'ily into an adventure, of
which you have had no previous ex-
perience, consult those who have made
it their life work to study those things
of which you are not informed. In this
way you will escape many of the pit
falls set to separate the unwary from
his money.
But all this Notwithstanding. there is
hardly possibility of making a mis-
take in buying raw land at reasonable
prices and especially is this SO in this
inter-mountain region. l speak from
the experience of thirty-five years
continuous residence and close observa-
tion. William Garstin.

Irrigation Yet in Its
Infancy in West.

One thought stands out prominently
and persistently in the minds of those
of US who have seen and are seeing the
transformation which the intelligent
use of money has made in that Lart of
our country known as the Intermountain
States, comprising Colorado, New Mex
leo, Utah and Wyoming, while we stand
amazed at the marvellous progress which
has already been made in the past few
years. And this thought is what the
fu, ure holds for this wonderful region.
if the same influences are applied to it
in the next thirty years, backed by the
irresistible tide of immigration which
homes, that have made it what it is to-
day, in the past thirty years.
While it is true that the same growth
and development have to greater or
less extent permeated every part of'our
country and Canada, the results are the
more astonishing the particular section
referred to, in that the original unex-
plored country, as seen by the pioneer
hunters and gold seekers of the early
sixties and seventies, was about as
uninviting spot to make home upon,
to say nothing of fortune as could be
found. We were and are still, though
to vastly less extent, Part of the
Great American Desert, term that
conveyed much the same impression to
the average dweller by the seashore as
the Sahara Desert does today.
And what of today? We are just
entering upon period when the out
side world is beginning to realize what
has been done and to deduce from that
what can be done with this great terri
tory on the slopes of the Rocky Noun
tains.
From the soil which was apparently
capable of producing nothing more val
liable than the indigenous sagebrush and
cactus, we grow fruit which is eagerly
sought for in the markets of the whole
world, and the beginning has only been
made.
The sugar beet industry, which has
practically been born in Colorado, Utah
and Wyoming within the past decade,
New Mexico so far not having even
made start in this direction, is one of
enormous and still growing proportions.
And so on with vegetables, grain, hay,
livestock and everything which depends
upon good mother earth for production.
These facts and the statistics relating
to them are available to everyone who

PEARCE TAILINGS ARE

 4 few months ago the Common wealth erected very fine mill for the treatment of 5OO,OOO tons of tailings which had accumulated dur ing the many years of operation, and the day after the new plant started, a disastrous fire occurred, destroying the whole works. Since that time MT Smith mas been making tests as to what would be best for the tail ings and has decided for the leach ing and cyaniding, as stated
 As soon as matters settle down with this plant, a new mill will be erected for the mine ores, at which time the cyanide plant for the tail ings will be increased in capacity, The Commonwealth has been one of the big money makers of the south. west, and there seems every prob ability that she shall continue.

M. ALMANDEREZ CALLED ID HIS
 REWARD
From Tuesday.s DailyI


 In apparently the best of health, and without any warning that the end was near. Mariana Almanderez, a popular Mexican of this city, en- tered the Kentucky Liquor House, yesterday morning, at 8 o'clock, walked to a chair in the main room, and after sitting down expired in less than two minutes. His death was a shock to many of his ac- quaintances, being known as an in dustrious and temperate man, and was undoubtedly due to heart trouble, which he is said to nave been effhcted with. at times, but not of an alarming nature. He had been a resident of this section for over thirty years, coming from Sonora Mexico. He was an intelligent man and at one time in. his early career is said to have been a captain in a revolutionary military organization in his native country, fleeing to Ari. zona after his cause was lost. He had a wife and four sons and daugh. ters residing in Mexico, who, it is said, were not permitted to leave that country, after ne figured as a soldier against the government. He was 5 years old.

 DID THE WORK
(From Tuesdays Daily)

From Tuesdays Daily)
 Here is an illustration of the value of advertising. It is not a solitary instance nor is it a partic- ularly conspicuous one, because sim liar examples could be multiplied.
 In Sunday mornings Journal Miner, the firm of NJ. Goldwater & Bro. advertised a sale of blankets. It is blanket weather. the time was appropriate, and besides, the goods were being sold at reduced prices.
 Yesterday the sale commenced. Before the sun mad reached the mer- idian over $3OO worth of blankets had been sold to eager purchasers, besides several bales of huck towels, which had also been advertised.
 That ad. cost Mir. Goldwater the small sum of $2-a little less than the ordinary business man who is in and out of the paper like a shuttle cock-fOr the Goldwater store is in the paper every day of the year. That certainly was good invest ment. We know of no scheme like it, where man can get such quick and juicy returns on his money. It almost makes the writer dizzy be- i'cause he can't play in the same game.
 Not to be accused of playing fav- Orites in the gratuitous notice, men ton will also be made of what hap Pened to the B.-B. store a few weeks i ago, when that concern advertised sale of handkerehiefs. There were 900 dozen of the Monchoirs and the B.-B. people thought the supply was good for a week, even at the attrae- tive price offered. Before the day ped up by the horde of buyers, and the head salesman burst into the Journal Miner office like a cyclone with the request that the advertise ment be changed, as there were nc more handkerehiefs to be sold.
 The moral is that people read the ads. and respond to them when they have the ginger in them.
 Practically all of the merchandis- ing failures in recent years in Pres eott have been cases where the mer- NuduI ulNh | dL dllY UT so only spasmOdically, as though he had intermittent fever. The live merchants-the growing merchants are those who are in the paper ALL the TIME.
 The day is gone when a show win dow can be depended upon entirely to sell goods, and likewise when a dealer imagines that the ultimate consumer will cuddle up against his trade offerings like a sick kitten rext to a hot brick, because of his personality, it is his time for him to take an inventory of his think en- pOrium.
 Yes, gentle reader, the Journal Miner mas a little space left for sale. If the crush becomes too great, we'll try and squeeze our credit at the bank and enlarge the paper.
