HARb0R LANDS
 ARE IN DEMAND
It is Beginning to Be Un- derstood That the Area is Limited and That a Greater One Cannot Be Developed

Showing how real estate has in creased in value and made thousands of men rich in the west, the following article that appeared in a Los Ange- les newspaper, will illustrate very nicely:
 Some plain facts about harbor property values were handed out by Dr. A P. Campbell in an address to over 900 excursionists at the harbOr last Wednesday. The party repre- scented visitors from various parts of the country, many of whom had come from eastern seaport cities and along the great lakes and knew something of values in their own localities.
 The speaker took care to explain that, in the desire to secure reliable information, his firm had instituted letters of inquiry to chambers of commerce and other public bodies in various cities.
 Many people seem to have no con- ception of the limited area we possess for harbor purposes, said Dr. Camp bell. "and of the immense demand that will be made upon it. It is this demand which will cause its rise in value Los Angeles is now the largest Pacific coast city of the two Americas. Its building permits, if maintained at the present ratio, for the balance of the year, will aggre- gate over forty millions. It must be remembered that this enormous growth began and has continued un- der perfectly normal conditions with out any extraordinary cause What it will amount to in the years to come, with greater manufacturing in

 Glendale is one of the fastest grow
 ing smaller towns in Arizona. Its rapid growth is attributed to the i'm mense acreage about Glendale, which
 is very rich and productive of wide variety of products from extensive farming. making shipping there heavy and labor pay-roils very large. The town is now well lit by electricity re- ceived direct from the Roosevelt dam.
 Glendale has it's own ice plant. gas plant. sugar factory. cotton gins and other industries that have placed Glendale on solid footing for it's future development
 The new bank building recently completed at Glendale and now occu- pied by the Glendale State Bank, To- cated at the corner of Second ave .nue and Washineton street is one of the most beautiful small bank build ings in the southwest. Although not large it was built with the idea of beauty anf- strength, as well as built to order for a banking institution that is sure to grow with the rapid increase of the population that is coming into Glendale

TO LEAD ALL FLEET
Vessels Will Be Assembled in Readiness
to Sail When Canal
Is Opened,

SAN DIEGO, Cal, July 22.-Secre-
tary of the Navy Josephus Daniels said
in an interview here tonight that it was
his purpose to stand On the bridge of
the old battleship Oregon and lead the
entire battleship feet of the United
States through the Panama canal and
thence up the Pacific coast. The voyage
would be made, he said, as soon as
Colonel Goethals gave the word that
the fleet could steam through the water
way.
Secretary Daniels could not predict
just when the cruise would begin, but
he said the feet would be assembled in
readiness to sail whenever Colonel
Goethals announced the canal com
pleted for the opening.
He added that while the plan to have
the Oregon lead the procession was only
tentative, it was his earnest desire that
the old war craft should show the way
for the American armada and the navy
would attempt to carry out
this idea.
The secretary and Mrs. Daniels ar
rived here tonight from Los Angeles
and proceeded to Coronado, where Mr..
Daniels was the guest of honor at
banquet, while Mrs. Daniels was en-
tertnined by committee OF women.

Williams and his men were forced to
seek protection in MADEIRA, where the
big lumber mills OF the Pearson syndi-

given shelter there the Mexicans swore
vengeance against all Americans in the
district. They have besieged them In
their houses, have threatened the mills
and say they will kill every American
in the entire district in revenge for the
killing of their comrades. As there is
