Believers in dry farming were en- tertained in an interesting manner yesterday in this city, by James Davis, of Ferguson valley, regarded as the most successful dry farmer in the county. This tiller of the soil is rated as an authority, from the fact that he has reclaimed land that was considered worthless, and mas estab- lished a principle in farming that is without a counterpart in the country.
 In speaking of what he has demon strated in less than two years of a residence, MT. Davis states that at present he has under cultivation 100 acres of land, and not an ounce of water has been turned into the soil. Over 100 tons of corn were raised last year, and in addition there were several hundred tons of other cereals. Nothing planted prov ed a failure. The revenue derived from the crops exceeded the price paid for the land three fold, which is one of the interesting situations that faces this strong supporter of the dry farming movement.

TERRITORIAL ROAD
 BEING RUSHED IN SOUTH
From Thursdays Daily.0


 Within the next two months it is expected that contracts will be award ed for the construction of that part of the Territorial highway between Tucson and Bisbee. The work on the road between Bisbee and Douglas is now going forward, and when this contract and those to be let are com. pleted the Territorial highway will be continuous between Douglas and | Tucson. From Tucson the road will proceed by Florence to Phoenix and thence on to Prescott and the Grand Canyon. Much of the work on the north end of this road has been done The Tucson Star, in the following tells of the meeting the board of control in that city this week, at which the Territorial roads were the subject of a conference between mem bers of the board, and the Territorial engineers:
 "That work will be begun just as soon as possible on the road toward Rosemont, connecting Tucson with the completed portion of the Douglas and Bisbee highway, and also on the high way to Florence and Phoenix, is the statement of J. B. Girand, Territorial road supervisor, who reached this city yesterday morning. George A. Mauk, Territorial auditor, and Dr. Robert A. Craig, citizen member of the road commission, are also in this city.
 "Messrs. Girand, Mauk and Craig spent yesterday going over the road between Tucson and Bisbee highway, which is to cut through a portion of Davidson's canyon. They found that this road can be made into an excel lent highway with grading and ditch ing, and will recommend the letting of contract at once. The board had previously gone over the road toward Florence, and will also recommend work along that route at the same time.
 "The men who are here will make their recommendation and then it will be thirty days before bids can be re- eeived. With other teehnicalities to overcome, the work can hardly be started in less than six of eight weeks, but then will be rushed to a eonelu. sion. When the gaps in Pima and Pinal counties are completed, it will be possible to Motor from Douglas, Bisbee and Nogales to the Grand Canyon.
 "Mr. Girand and Dr. Craig assert | ed yesterday that the work of the board has been somewhat handicapped by the opposition of certain persons and some newspapers, but it is hoped the board can convince the taxpayers that it is doing the best it can for the construction of a fine system of Territorial highways throughout Ari- zona.''
