was before the committee today He
approved the bill in principle. out sug-
gested a number of amendments. His
examination developed an inclination
on the part of Senators Reed of Mis-
souri, and Hitchcock of Nebraska to
question various provisions of the mea-
sure. Senator Hitchcock questioned
the banker closely as to the possibility
of the proposed federal reserve board
expanding and contracting credit
Throughout the country to suit Its po-
litical purposes and of the regional
reserve banks exercising a bsneful in
fiuence over member banks through the
Regulation OF loans and discounts

asked several questions indicating that
he feared that the power conferred on
the regional banks would enable them
TO dominate not only the banks but the
Industrial institutions in their dis
tricts. Mr. Flanagan said he expected
no such evil results from tho opera
tions of the bill.

most of the recommendations of these self

their peculiar system is of value. They

RADICAL CHANGE IN
POLITICAL AFF AIRS
. IS NOTED IN MEXICO
Now Believed That Huerta
Will Not Recall Diaz.
ToWithdraw Tamariz
Appointment

Mexico City, September 20 Political af-
fairs In Mexico have undergone marked
change In the last few days. The liberal
party's defiance of President Huerta in
the Chamber of Deputies yesterday, grow
ing out of opposition to the appointment
of Eduardo Tamariz, one of the leaders
of the Catholic party, as minister of pub
lie Instructions, appears TO have opened
the fight squarely on the issue of the
Catholic party influence in governmental
affairs with the liberals and affiliated
elements in Congress lined up against il.
Rumors regarding the action Of Presi-
dent Huerta is likely to take vent so
far today as to deal with the possibility
of his dissolving Congress to rid himself
of opposition from that source and back
ing Federico Gamboa. the foreign minis
ter. as his choice for the presidency in
the coming elections.
| Other rumors were that General Huer.a
would bring about a postponement OF the
elections pending the pacification OF the
country and would either remain in the
presidency or retire in favor OF Minister
Gamboa.
Not to Recall Diaz
No one rumor appears ITO have better
foundation than another President Huerta
declared himelf on the subject of the
possible dissolution of Congress-, saying
he has no intention of going to that
extremity. While it. was authoritatively
stated few days ago that General
Huerta had determined to recall General
Felix Diaz. pursuant. to a settled plan of
action, it Is now said Tat he has aban-
doned that course. Soyfar al can be
ascertained, he has not yet recalled Diaz
In the. fact of Overwhelming odds
against him In the Chamber of Deputies,
General Huerta said today he would con-

of Tamariz, or might possibly shift him

 Ingleside is on the south bank of the Arizona canal, nine miles east of Phoenix On the north side of this canal, lying between the canal and Camelback mountain is, some mile and a half in extent, the native des- ert of the most beautiful type. It is the desert that is found near the foothills which presents not the ef- . expect a desert to be; it is really not a desert at all, but is simply Vir- gin land growing different kinds of delicately constructed shrubs and trees. over the whole landscape is a mantle of olive green thrown by the grease bush,' an evergreen shrub which softens the glare and rough ness for the traveller. No matter how hot the sun nor dry the season, it's rich, dark mantle Of green never fades.
 Not only does this wonderful shrub beautify the landscape, but it carries healing in it's leaves for the wounds of man or his beasts. This is a pant that for centuries the Indians have made a tea from that heals flesh wounds as quickly as anything the modern druggist can prepare.

When a person thinks of the most beautiful thing in cul- tivated land. a picture of an orange grove almost invariably comes to the mind. At Ingleside we have not sim ply picture or painting of some artists idea of what an orange grove should look like, nor some poor apologist's explanation of what it would have looked like if somebody else had done something different nor some ones regrets over frost or yellow leaves; but we have. as the story books say really and true" live orange grove, covered with beau tiful dark green leaves.

A third of d century ago, after hay ing completed a construction con tract on thu Atlantic tl Pacific rail- way. the present line of the santa Fe. across northern Arizona. w. J. Mur- phy heard that a new canal company had been incorporated in the Salt river valley to construct the Arizona canal some sixty miles in length and they wanted a contractor to take the contract of building this canal He came to the valley to look over this work and as he rode across the valley for the first time, he decided that this valley had the greatest agricul- tural possibilities of any valley that he had ever seen and was destined at sometime to become one of the richest farming districts in the south west.
 The canal was built and, after be- coming acquainted with the entire Salt River valley, section 2S in town ship , north, range east, was select ed for a townsite, because of it's many advantages over any other location that could be irrigated; a toWnsite on which to build a residence town, a town that would suit the most fas- tiiious for q home site. Section 28 is located on the divide between the upper and lower valleys. This divide IS a ridge or sli4ht elevation that connects the Comeback mountain on the north with the Rcd Buttes on the south It is 200 feet above Phoe- nix and the view to the west over the expanse of farms and orchards ie one of the most piCturoskue and inspiring imaginable Being on the high ground as it is. makes it one of the most healthful spots.
