C. H.

Smalley, business man of Phoenix. X.ho is registered at the Frye MT. SmaIley is in the city gathering testimony in an Arizona court case
 Farmers in the Salt river valley have planted about $500 acres of land with Egyptian cotton seed, in an ef- fort to see if cotton can be raised in that state" said Mir Smalley From the present outlook it appears as though an encouraging crop will be reaped when the time for picking ar rives.

STREET CAR HEARING IS
 POSTPONED ID OCT. 27
iInssss of Manager Mitchell Is Rec ognized as Good Reason for
 Postponement.

At their own request the hearing of the Phoenix Street Car company. set for October 16. before the corporation commission. was yesterday postponed by the commission to come up before that body for final action on october 27. The reason assigned fo rthe post ponement by the company was that their manager, S H. Mitchell, is con fined to his bed in Los Angeles where he was taken down with d nervous at tack
 The hearing is in connection with the proposed loop that the company offered to build in substitution to the request for the double tracking of the First street line to Roosevelt street. Since that time the company have de- cided that they would not build the loop connecting the First street and the Second avenue lines by the way of Munroe street, and applied to the commission for the withdrawal of their request The commission. how ever denied the request and ordered a hearing for the previous date
 It is especially important that all who are interested in the proposed loop be on hand at the time of the hearing on October 27. At that time the question as to whether the loop shall be built will be decided, and since the commission has implied from di rect and indirect evidence that there is a general deside for the building of the loop it is desired by that body that those wishing the loop be on hand to support their cause.

 The huge Roosevelt dam. completed near Phoenix about two years ago, is working wonders in the way Of fur thering the development of the vast agricultural lands. At present there are over 215,000 acres in Salt river valley alone in cultivation As good system of irrigation as can be found in the country is in Arizona
 Mir Smalley said that the Salt river valley farms have been known to pro- duce as high as seven crops of alfalfa in year This, he says. has not been accomplished n any other part Of the country.
