 HUNTING FOR FACTS
Refuses to Accept Statement ot Knock CT And Writes to Mesa Club
 Secretary For Information.

All the knockers are not in Ari- zona. As matter Of fact, there are probably fewer of them in this state, compared to population. than any where else. The east is full of those who have only adverse criticism to make of the west and all things west ern. M. R. Bowen, secretary Of the Mesa commercial club. has located one who had been in the Salt River val ley. X letter from Thomas F.. Farley of Chicago, soys:
 Dear Sir: l was visitor at the land show in Chicago and must say that I was interested in the Arizona
 display and also in what the repre- sentatives had to say in regard to the Salt River valley: but since that time I have met a friend who claims he was in your valley eleven years ago and advises me not tO go there as the drinking water is not good and all water is full of alkali. Also that the climate isfsO awful hot that you cannot work in summer time and that everyone goes to the mountains. Now, l do not believe everything I hear. be- cause you will always find knockers; but if you will favor me with the cor rect statement in regard to climate and water and also all information in re- gard to your valley, l will certainly appreciate it.
 MT Bowen has answered the letter and sent information that cannot fail to convince Mr. Farley that the friend who gave him the misinformation, did not know what he was talking about.

SOME REASONS WHY NEGROES
 REMAIN POOR.

Poverty tends to perpetuate itself 1 among the negroes of the north as | elsewhere It means ignorance. bad | housing conditions. unsteady work. all of which causes and which also cause it. The highest rents paid in the cities are paid by the poor on Warnock street in Philadelphia. an agent. by renting out by the room his SiX-room house received S36e to
 S3S0 per year when the property was assessed at only $l0O0. This is typi-
 cal of the treatment of the vary poor
 Miss Emily Dinwiddie shows urat negroes pay 31 cents per room Der
 month more for rent than the ltal-
 ians. and 33 cents more than other
 ratiOnalties A charity agent says
 that she finds it in small apartment
 without paying excessive rent. In
 many houses with furnished rooms
 negroes pay from $1 to g. per month
 more than whites pay for the same
 kind ot room. Rent is generally a
 larger item with the poor negro than
 with the poor wEite. The average rent for negroes per month. when only one family occupied the house, was
 according to Miss Dinwiddie. Sl2.92,
 while the Italians paid S799. and the
 Jews and others SS.7S. When two or more families occupied the house the
 rent was s7.4S for negroes. $5.51 for for Italians. and S5.1S for Jews. The
 poor also pay more for coal. At this
 writing. pea coal is $325 per ton.
 buckwheat S4.50. and stove $6.50.
 nj ic I,N- .l f 20 cents. or about $15 per ton. Tine roOr pay more for ice in the sum mer, more for rent, more for coal. more for clothes, and moree for the necessities. and are thus kept poor. In the case of provisions this IS largely due to buying in small quan- tities.-R R. Wright in Southern Workman
