 KNOWS MISS PHOENIX
Board of Trade Advertises Salt River Valley all Over the United
 States.

Phoenix is not the least a,lver- tiscd city in the United State; sine" Harry WelCh came to the board of trade as secretary. People @H ,ver the United States have grown Iccus toned to picking up magazines and papers containing long articles about the climate, business, and farnIi1S advantages of the Salt River Valley, and the valley will be no doubt gain more substantial benefit through this policy of the board of trade than through any other effort that is be- ing made to attract the attention of outsiders to this section.
 The Western World for August contains an article written by Mir Wclch on the Salt River Valley. It describes in detail the value of irri- gation to the farmer, the flourlshlng industrial conditions of PhoeriN. the building activity. the construction of existing and planned electric interur- ban lines. and gives a fund of general information about the valley that iS certain to move the reader to make investigation.

The Keystone of Safety Farming" was the title of the pie ture. showing the massive masonry of the great dam, and a glimpse of the broad eXpansc of water under meath.
 The interest fostorcd by the board of trade is beginning to send in good results.

+, The commission form of government car
rled In Omaha by majority OF 5000. The
total vote, which was added up in the
office OF The Bee before o'clock, was
5,s4i in favor and 2,345 against. The total
vote. 76s6, was about what was predicted
in The Bee. and was surprisingly heavy
in the upper or silk stocking wards. The
third ward was the only which went de-
finitely against the commission plan.
The voting started in all over the city
when the polls fist opened in the morning
and 1t was seen that the vote would be
heavy everywhere. especially In the wards
where the Clements which have been most
busily supporting the commission plan are
supposed to reside.
The office of the city clerk was not
crowded all day with men who were not
registered properly, as it has been for most
the other elections of the year and the
large vote was taken without as much work
for officials as was occasioned by the pri-
maries. In the office of the city clerk an
official return was obtained within two
hours after the polls were closed.
