NOTED WOMAN
 VISITS STATE
Mrs. Percy V. Pennyback- CT of Texas President National Federation of Woman's Club to Attend State Federation.

Mrs. Percy Pennybacker the noted Texas historian. president of the Ma tionaI Federation of Women's Clubs, will be present at the meeting of the Arizona Federation of Clubs to be held in Douglas, January 21-24. Word t. that effect was received in Phoc- nix yesterday and club women are now anticipating the event with addi- tional pleasure.
 The program has not been arrang- ed as yet but the fact that Arizona women have been granted their en- franchisement will undoubtedly make q significant difference in the pro gram from that of any previous one. Before the election of pr. Agnes Me kee Wallace of Prescott, president Of the Arizona Federation in an eN- chsiY. interview with The Republi- can declared that should the amend mcnt carry she would advocate a political economy department in ev- cry club so that club women should learn to meet the new responsibility with perfect understanding. While manv serious questions will come up for discussion the social side Of the gathering has not been ignored and the Douglas club women who will act as hostesses are already plan ming many delightful and interesting events in honor of their guests.

 With the coming of Martin and the opening of his office in the water us CTS building, comes the announcement that work will start on the giant pipe line to carry the water from the bend in the Western canal a mile up the mountain side to water the rich citrus lands along the base of the Salt river mountains. The first sod will be turned some time next week. Teams and ce- meRt are arriving daily. Steel and gravel are on the ground Under the supervision of Hector GilIis, work will commence almost immediately on the excavation of a trench straight up the face of the rise
 As this work is completed, other workmen will build right in the ground a monster pipe seven feet across and made of concrete and steel
 It is hard to predict when the pipe will he done. It will depend on what is met in the line of trenching. whether hard rock or less durable sand stone constitutes the face of the hill. It will be some time, however, before the pipe is ready. In the meantime the ditch will be dug. and by the time that is ready to deliver water, for iaterals will be constructed and a power house built as soon as possible

 The secretary first takes up the work of the various bureaus Of his department in the past year and then tells Of the growth in some in stances from their foundation. of these bureaus during the time he has been head of the department. He praises highly the experts who have worked under him.

WONDERFUL
 IMPROVEMENT
In Salt River Valley Metro polls In Seven Years Says Contractor Who Built the Granite Reef Dam.

T never saw such change in my life, as I noticed when I returned to Phoenix after an absence of seven years" so spoke J. W. Martin, an en- gineer contractor, who built the Gran ite Reef dam and who is now here to construct the pipe line from the Vest ern to the Highline canal on the south s1le. It seems MT. Martins chief inn pression of Phoenix is the difference between Phoenix now and Phoenix seven years back.
 "The place was a country village then: it is q metropolis now, with all the trimmings of big city Paved streets, lights along the walks and a general air Of modernness distinguish the gem city of the Salt River valley as one Of the most progressive communi- ties in the southwest. I have not been in the country since I was here last but from what I hear it has kept pace with the town. SHpshod farms have given away to neat country places, and the ranches of struggling homestead- CTS are replaced with solid prosperous fields, orchards and the like. The ir- rigation system has been simplified and rebuilt in many places, so now it is much easier to handle the streams that give life to the crops.
 T am certainly most favorably inn pressed with Phoenix and the valley and l may add, it is a surprise to me While l knew the valley must progress

FARMER RISES FROM JOKE

farm wealth is the highest yet reach ed by half d billion dollars. The grand total for 1912 is estimated to be S9,532 100000 This is more than twice the value of the farm wealth in 1896"
 More than O5,000, ,00O, ,000 is the grand total of farm wealth produc- tion. the report says. during the past sixteen years, an amount equal to about three quarters of the present rational wealth.
 The most effective move toward reduced cost of living is the pro duction of greater crops. says the secretary. and this move he declares is due to the work of the department of agricultural colleges and eXperi- mert stations and to the help of the press in publishing every movement

OUR TIMBER RESOURCES

One of the most interesting and practical talks made. at the. recent Chamber of Commerce Banquet was on the subject of Our Timber Re- sources" delivered by John Christy, of this city, who during the past year has made a careful and scientific in vestigation of the timber resources tributary to Clifton. MT. Christy was of the opinion that the people of this district have been so busily engaged in mining that they have overlooked this important industry, as he ex- pressed it, like a white check" MT. Christy estimates that there is not less than 100000 feet of merchantable timber on the Apache forest reserve which can be made ready for the mar ket and the opening up of this big timber tract would be worth thous ands and thousands of dollars to the business interests of this section.
