do, is in PhoenIX for a stay of some
 length. making q careful survey of conditions. His identification with the country is not dependent upon his con clusions. for that matter is already set tied. MT Lyman is q publicity man
 by profession and d successful one, is associated with the interests of J. R.
 Mckinnie, R r. Davie and their as sociates. He is here specifically to di- rect campaign advertising Marnette lands. for which the Greene & Grif- pany has the local agency Mir Ly- man has known for d long time what this country is in a general way, but now that he has become identified with it he proposes tO know all about it in every way.
 Mir. Lyman says that his success has depended in large part in being asso- ciated with gentlemen like Mir McKin- nie and Mir. Davie, who have the re- sources at hand to carry out their un- dertakings and to make good all their guarantees. The rest of it is due to his own carefulness in offering VI I've pub lie. only such investments as can be made profitable to his patrons To do that. he studied carefully the re- sources of any section he is about to exploit and plans out just what sett- lers may do to insure success. He, or those he represents. furnish the things necessary to that end. the settler eventually becomes prosperous and as the land is paid for the promoters reap the rewards of foresight and the in- dustry of capital.
 In the west end of the Grand val ley in Colorado MT. Lyman in behale of the Mckinnie. Davie and Reed in- terests has disposed of about 5000 acres of fine land most of it in ten acre tracts. and most of it to settlers who actually live upon their holdings. That has meant the building of the town Of Loma with its churches and school houses. where three years ago the train did not whistle IL Is a pros porous place and has the largest can ming factory in western Colorado. It is an apple country and is coloniZed for apples but apple trees will not grow in a minute. so poultry, canta- loupes and sugar beets were utilized for the earlier years of settlement, and to the prosperity of everybody con cerned Incidentally it developed of beet growers.
 In the Marinette tract a few miles northwest of Phoenix there are avail able now approximately 10000 acres. for which water is being rapidly de- ha hrin from the Agua Fria river about one fourth the amount of water the land will require and that will be held as an auxiliary supply. The main water supply will be by pumped water, a large well being drilled on each unit of 2i0 acres. These units will b. cut up into ten acre lots. Purchase need not be confined to one lot. though small holdings are more desirable for com munity development The water will be pumped by electric power secured of the government by the Marinette and disposed of to little com panies formed of the owners of each 240 acre unit.
 Marinette is designed as a fruit growing section, eventually. being best suited for citrus fruits. peaches and apricots. but it takes time for fruit trees to produce returns. millionaires will not live on desert tracts and poor
 men cannot live on them unless they are helped. It is the plan of the com pany to offer inducements chiefly to the man who has just a little capital. enough to buy some good land at fair price, live on it and develop it with the help of the promoters. He can never pay for it unless it is productive and there is nothing in it for the pro- moter until it is paid for. The keynote of it all is to get a good man on the right farm.
 It is Mir. Lymans first work there fore. to find out just what Marinette lands are good for in the way of tenn porary returns. There are various vegetable crops he has under suspi- cicn. If any one or more of them seem to warrant it the company may pro- vide canning factory. It may be that the poultry business will be en- outraged extensively. But if any of these crops are encouraged it will be only as supplemental crops pending the growth of the fruit trees. Fruit is the ultimate object and the same. or a little more expense and care will be exercised in making that a success. than in the success of the preliminary crops.
 To that end specialists will be em- ployed to direct the work of settlers and see that they are kept informed as to what they should do. The com pany does no propose to sell an acre of land until it has the water for 1t, knows what it is good for, and has proper persons employed to help the settler along to success. Then if he has just a little bit of money and a little bit of energy. he is bound to win
 Mir. Lyman says he believes this plan
 will work out not only in Marinette but in many other places if the right
 kind of men are behnd ithe undertaking He has no doubt about his ability 10
