COLUMBUS TO HOLD
GEORGIA ALABAMA
FAIR AGAIN IN 1918

COLUMBUS. GA, Jan. 22.-At a
meeting of the directors of the Geor-
gla-Alabama Fair association. held for
the purpose of hearing a report from
Secretary ]. B. Banks in regard to the
affairs of the association during the
first fair, it was definitely decided to
hold a fair in 1913.
The report of Secretary Banks show
ed that the association would be barely
able to meet all of its financial obliga
lions, due largely to the fact that the
gate receipts were smaller than ex-
pected. 1t rained every day the fair
was in progress, except Thanksgiving
day, and it was so damp and cold on
that day that the attendance was not
as large as it would have been other
wise.
A meeting of directors will be called
within a few days, when officers fol
the new year will be elected and def
mite plans launched for making the fail
Of 1913 a bigger and better one thar
that of 1912.

n. !, LAND 1858
FOOT; S73 HERE
Gotham Realty Far Higher
Based on Pro Rata Popula-
ton, Than in Atlanta.

r-;o,ras received from New York and
,an5on Indicate that the best central
nronertv in those cities is a great deal
bighar based on pro rata population,
hon in Atlanta, despite the fact that
TIC here are above those of any city
r. similar size in the United States.
London parcel near the new Mall
.-,rr,av Mt Charing Cross set a record
.,o other day at 1927 a square foot, or
a. 5o0 600 an acre, and a New York plot
- the corner of Broadway and Wall
-+roe+ sold some time ago for $55S.65 a
,orara foot, or $24,334,834 an acre. The
Mckenzie property at Peachtree and
tonnes which contains approximately
$40 SQUARE feet and is priced at $780,
oO0 is a little more than $73 square
foot.
Figuring New York's population at
s00O0O0 and Atlanta's at 100000, the
ratio would be "a to 1, and raising At
,anta's poulation to 100000 would
make realty worth $1,752 front foot.
An effort is under way to compute
Atlanta property by the square foot in
stead of by the front foot: At the next
meeting of the directors of the Atlanta
real estate board Thursday, February
6 Charles P. Glover, the president, will
nrasent the square foot plan, and others
are expected to help have it adopted.
This is done in all the large cities
declared Mr.. Glover today, "and it is
the only fair way to arrive at true val
nations. The size of our central and
sami-central lots is such that mis-
apprehension as to their value arises
when they are valued by the frontage.
The new year seems to have brought
increased confidence in Atlanta real es-
tate by outside capitalists. The w. E
Worley agency in the Empire building
has had $1,000, 900 placed with it to loan
on improved central property and
other agencies report the same conf
dence The realty optimists declare
that 1918 gives promise Of SURPRISING
1912, and the pessimists are hopeful.

SNOW MEASURERS LEAVE
 FOR SALT RIVER BASIN
kenneth Meaker of Weather Bureau and s. K. Baker of the U. s. R. s.
 Leave to Test Snow Fall.

The mission to the snow fields is on Shelton Kenneth Baker and Kenneth Meaker have gone to the Roosevelt lake drainage basin to set up stakes on the winters hoard of the soft white stuff These measuring sticks, twenty in number are to be distributed over sev- eral square miles of mountain in the vicinity of Fort Apache where the snowfall is likely to be most character lStlc, and the results of the measure ments vii be more nearly the average of the entire watershed
 Speaking of the process of snow measurement yesterday, Section Direc- tor Robert Briggs said:
 Tt is not a case of measuring av- erages on one particular mountain. but averages for the region. For that req son. Meaker will set up his scales on north slopes around twenty degrees of pitch He will avoid ravines or side canyons, and all sorts of places where the snow is likely to form in drifts The south slopes will be summed. for what falls on them is generally evaporated by the action of the steady Arizona sun before any of the supply can form to run off. Few people know that sncw

and ice can evaporate without hrst melting. but this is the truth.
 The amount of water derived from the snow supply on the watershed IS not determined by the quantity of snow that falls, but by the weather in April. If there is q sudden thaW or warm rain, we get a big quick flood which rushes down the gullies and fills the reservoir before much of the water can sink into the ground or go off in vapor. But if winter fingers and the hand of spring finally comes and plays gently over the brow of the snow topped hill, the melting snow, and old Sol takes a heavy toll of moisture. What he leaves, the earth drinks up. and the reservoir gets the slim balance, from springs and little creeks

ALtXANDEh'S RETURN
 FROM TRIP ID EUROPE
F irst Trip Across the Sriny in Nearly Fifty Years

Edward Alexander and wife, resi-
 dents of this part of the state for the
 :,ast thirty-five years. were the only
 two out of 1900 passengers on the
 transatlantic liner Corono, returning
 from England last week, who were
 cot seasick. They were in conse
 quence the only ones in the dining
 halls, on the decks and in the par
 lors good part 0f the time, ana
 their experiences were many and
 varied
 MT. and Mrs. Alexander left Phoe-
 nix something like 2 year ago to go
 to London, the former home of MT
 Alexander. He had, at that time,
 been away from the old country for
 over 5 year9, and lls wife, who was
 born in North Wales, had not seen
 her native land for over fifty years
 The Alcxanders went to see their old
 friends, their old homes and their old country Tn England the AleXanlers saw Wfat they went to view, and they saw a whole lot in other places iT Europe which they had intended visiting for a long time, before start ing back to their adopted country, Arizona.
 MT. Alexander came to the Pacific , slope fifty-fiVe years ago. He went from one place to another, working here, prospecting there. just stopping elsewhere. till at last he came over the desert to Arizona and pitched his 1 tent in the Salt River valley. That
 was thirty five years ago, and since 1 that time this place has been his | home He retains property interests 1 here now, and he has other interests l r the southern part of the state. l Mining has been his lifework He was one of the developers of the properties now famous all over the states. He was on the ground at the time the Tombstone" was a hole | in the ground, and he saw the first 1 strokes of the pick in the Bisbee district.
 England is all right, and the Eng | lishmen ale all right" said Mr Alexander last evening. but it does my heart good to be back in Ari-
 zcna. There is no country in the world equals this. not alone for climate, but for everything there is i The first real sunshine I have seen snce leaving Arizona over a year ego was here today"

FLOOD WATERS IN VERDE
 60 DOWN RIVER WASTED
Recent Rains Make 1t Unnecessary to Irrigate and 56,00o Miners
 Inches Escape Into the Salt

By not accepting irrigation water so cheap as to be d drug on the Canals-and later, worse on the roads. the farmers of the Salt River valley lost many an acre foot of the pie Cicus stuff yesterday. Flood in the Verde amounting to over 56 OOO miners inches. raised the table" and caused the dual hydrographer asplund to mark on the chart, instead of the year to which the normal flow water extended, the words, Verde in food"
 Water was free for a few hours yesterday. The simple act of accept ing the supply would have been sui ticient return, but the sales were low even at this low figure. Next week. alter the sun has had a few rounds with the fields, there will be need oI water, and then it must be taken rom what the Verde contributes plus a small amount taken from the stored supply.
 The gates at the head of the Ari- ~"na canal Were not fully opened. but most of the flood was allowed to go down the Consolidated. where it es- caped via the spillway into the river. Luckily the work at the Joint Head dam is over. the machinery yanked out of the river bottom and every ming in readiness for the finishers So the flood did no damage there.
 The entire project used less than l2,00O acre feet of water.

Formal Dress Garments That Court Criticism

Is it not fact that the very service of a dress suit not only in vites, but courts criticism; that the suit itself must honor the highest standard of fine tailoring; that the discerning eye requires absolute correct style.
 A combination of details, such as---cleanly cut tails that lie on the trousers; a high-cut, tight-ft ting coat, giving a decided waist effect; broad lapels cut pointed, and covered with silk; and trousers that are still wide but can be worn short; are factors that make our ready for-service garments, the Hast word" in fashion.
 We offer the regular sizes at uniform price. Coat $32, Pants $1O and Vests up to $7.5O.
