 BE AT THE FAIR

Efforts to have Cochise county rep resented at the state fair with q wor- thy exhibit have been undertaken by the Commercial Club. A, the meet ing of the board of directors last week resolutions were passed calling aJten- ton to the fact that the richest and most resourceful county of the state had not been represented last year except by the permanent mineral e1- hibit and there is now only two months remaining in which to as semble and install a display at PhOe- nix. The hoard Of supervisors was asked to make an appropriation ana to make the necessary appointment Of a fair commissioner.
 Whether the beard of supervisors wlll take action on the request of the Commercial Club when they are n session at an adjourned meeting Tuesday or whether the matter will go over a week to the regular Sep tember meeting remains to b seen. A letter was sent from tn COmmer oial Club to the Board of Supervisors Friday and a copy of that letter WAS sent 10 the Douglas Chamber of Com merce with a suggestion that the Douglas organization send a similar letter.

 GROWING SLOWLY

Six weeks after they were put Up, the twenty-four boxes in which could be placed contributions for the ChI- drens' Playground fund have been opened and Sl66S was collected frCm them and placed on deposit Some of the boxes had been entirely over looked by the beneyoleatly inclined while others had received as high as S250. Thus far the boxes have prUv. en a good investment for when they were taken down all can be sold fer at least what was paid for them and before that time many more nickles. dimes and quarters will have been contributed.

:, Lands company, owner of the famous
 Fortuna Farms" tract near Yuma Roy Norfoot has recently become as sociated with the enCer pT.se in a prominent way. and all those connecs- ed with the company are now start ing a campaign to show Bis5eeite1 the advantages of the famous Yuma valley.
 The office of the company has re- eently received a large portable map, winch gives an excellent indication of the reasons why Yuma lands vii grow anything, any time" The For tuna tract is located about ten miles from the city and is on the main line of the Southern Pacific, having rail- road station in connection. The haul age to town will be a small item but the location of the station directly on the main track is simply an indica- tion og the exceptionally fine loca- ton of the tract. Ample water 3G5 Jays in the year is provided for. Though, the huge Laguna dam. one of the largest government projects will cost a large sum. water rates are exceptionally low and compare most favorably with any irrigation projects in the country.
 It is not only claimed but has been abundantly proven, that the Yuma valley is an ideal spot for the raising of all citrus friuts. The soil IS or an even richer character than that of California and the danger of frost, which caused loss running into the millions in the coast country last year, is an absolutely unknown qnan- tity. A smudge pot in the Yuma val ley is a rare curiosity. Soil, climate and transportation facilities are ideally blended inythe Yuma valley and that 1t will be one of the richest and most pOpulous sections or the southwest in a very short time IS \ sure prediction.
