at a distance Of twenty or more miles
apart, according to the topography Of
the country. A number Of these dams
and locks are already completed.
Construction Of the Fernbank dam
was begun in May, 1905. It is about
1000 feet wide and is made up of 325
wickets, each slightly more than three
feet wide. At low water these wickets
are raised, forming dam twelve feet
in height which extends across the ell
tire river. When the river is high the
wlckets are lowered and lie perfectly
fiat on the bottom Of the river. On the
Ohio side is located the lock, which is
used at low water. This lock is 1,SO0
feet long with its approaches. The
lock proper in which the bouts are
rafsed or lowered to the level Of the
river is GOO feet long and 40 feet wide.
It requires about twenty minutes to
pass boat from one level to the other.
| The lock, which forms one of the
most vital parts of the dam, IS OH the
Ohio shore It is GOO feet long and no
feet wide, and the walls forming it are
thick and heavy. The lock is closed by
an upper and lower gate made OF
steel and heavy timbers. Each gate
is operated by compressed air en-
CINE. The lock is SO large that 1t can
hold and lock through several steam
boats or ten coal barges at once. When
vessel enters the lock from the lower
pool the gates are closed and water
pours into the lock through sixteen
sluices in the upper wall of the lock
to raise the level to that Of the upper
pool. There are also sluices in the
gates, so that water may be admitted
through the uppev gate and discharged
through the lower gate. In the lower
side Of the lock wall are sixteen sluices
to permit the water to flow out Of the
lock.

Fernbank dam is one link in a chain
Of fifty-four dams which the United

and which will be completed within
the next ten or twelve years at cost
Of $6O,0OO,0OO. The Fernbank dam cost

months of the year instead of being
compelled to cease operations at varl-

Not only has there been an I'M

this office has sold quite a number

The city and valley have been ad-

the whole country to Arizona. To her

been deluged with inquiries about

DWIGHT 3. HEARD.

No matter in what season the
landseeker comes to the Salt River
valley he finds that some profitable
crop is being harvested and others
berg planted" said Garth Cate. ad-
vertising manager for Dwight +.
Heard. Coming from 'One-crop-a-
year states where farming is COM
paratively a gamble, success depend
ing upon so many unfiXed conditions,
the intelligent visitor soon realizes
that in this valley. with its year-,ong
growing season, guaranteed and
abundant water supply. n remarkably
fertile soil and an almost semi-trop-
zeal climate which permits the sue
cessful cultivation of nearly every
known fruit. grain, vegetable. etc, it
is simply up TO the man behind the
farm" whether he makes money or
not.

has touched the whole country. The
awakening has come. Land values are
nowhere lower than here, compared to
the productive capacity of various
sections. 1t is the general belief also
that in very few years at the out
side the entire valley viii be cut up
into ten and twenty acre farms, while
the population of the city in five
years is estimated by none at less
than thirty thousand. Fifty thousand
is the general estimate of the popula-
ton Of Phoenix in 1916.

GREEN AND GRIFFIN.

J. F. Griffin, speaking for the firm
Of Green and Griffin, declared thal
the summer demand for houses had
been unprecedented.
While many of our families have
gone away for July and August as
usual" said Mr. Griffin, the newcom
ers have almost filled the houses left
vacant. Many of the newcomers de
mand new houses, and / venture to
say that the experience of our Home
Builders association has been that OF
every other building proposition In
Phoenix
Il have kept pretty close tab upon
the railroad situation as it effects
Phoenix, and l believe that we are
soon to see big things along that line
You ask what my estimate is of the
population Of Phoenix is for five
years hence Even if we have no
through transcontinental lines by-that
time. we will have at least $4,000, and
with the railroad. or roads. the popu-
lation will be FAR in excess of that
figure. / base my faith upon the
usual boom which follows admission
to statehood, the natural resources
behind such a boom here. the wonder
valley. its splendid water supply. the
10000 horse power we are to have
for public utilities and manufacturing
purposes. and the fact that Phoenix is
the center of n very large and very
rich mining section. Yes, according
TO inquiries which come to us daily
Phoenix is going to enjoy such activ-
ity this all and winter as never be
fore. Property values are very low
in comparison with what they will
be a year hence, i'm my judgment"
