If the vast water ways constructed for the purpose of making of the valley a garden spot. opens up a field the limits of which are co-extensive only With the capabilities of those in control.
 Tn my trayeling over the valley ' have found q few men who contend that land values here by force of one influence or another have been forced to such |; high point as that much Of the land may not be culti- vated profitably. Having in mind the above facts l have endeaVored to make some study of lands and land values, and of course any co3npari- son l might make would naturally be made With the lands uith which am familiar as the standard. and in reaching conclusion l would not have it understood that I am depre- ciating the value of the lands in my native state. but having in mind the money value of land in Ohio and in the valley here, and considering the fact that as many as six crops of hay may be harvested here. any of which will equal in tonnage per acre the one crop We are able tO harvest in ohio. or remembering that in ohio we are only able as q rule to harvest one crop Of most farm products per year, while here as many as two or three crops may be grown and har- vested on the same land in q year, l alh forced to conclude that as Vet there is considerable room for the grow til of land values before the point of diminishing returns will have cen reached for the agriculture lands "t the valley, and until that point Is reached no one need have any fear of eNorbitant land values.
 And noW in conclusion l can only say that in my opinion the Salt River Nallev as a whole rivals any lands or country that l have learned to know anything about. not excepting the famous valley of the Nile. Truly those who came here first bIazed the way tor the discovery later of one ct Gods garden spots"

HEARD OF II
 FROM FRIENDS
Mayor of an Ohio Town Came to the Salt River Valley and Learned That All He Heard Was the Truth

From the office of J. s. Griffin comes a very interesting interview with Mir. N. R. Cooney, mayor of Dalton, ohio, who has not only been induced through the efforts of MT GI film to loan money in the Salt River valley, but also to make many extensive purchases of property here. Said MT. COoney:
 T have been asked how I hap pened to become interested in the Sat River valley. ! became attracted to the valley through reports given Ire by some of my friends whose good fortune it had been to visit Phoenix and the valley surrounding Il. Their reports concerning the many extraordinary opportunities along al- mo st every line of human activity were indeed of such q character as almost to lead me to feel that there vas some mistake on the part of my friends in their approximations of the true conditions, but upon my arrival here, and after some obSeVra tiOnS for myself, l am free to say that l do not think that the average individual who is familiar with the conditions .n tho valley could go far wrong in lis representations bearing upon the possibilities that are here awaiting development
 Already the advancement that has been made alonS the line looking to the development of the Salt River valley approaches the spectacular. but for that it is none the less construct i've and the admirable feature is that as a rule the improvements are ot substantial and lasting character.
 l am from Ohio, and l presume I would bo entitled tO assume that l am typical of the average citizen of our state, and as such know that it is quite impossible for us to appre- ciatc many of the things We hear about some parts of the western part of our country, and especially con cerning those portions that within the last few years have been brought unGcr a state of cultivation through whatever process may have been found necessary
 But Ha"ing had the good fortune to spend . portion of the summer among the good people of the valley to many of whom l must have ap- pearcd aE q question mark. I am willing r. believe that the dey eIop- ment of the Salt River valley is in its infancy, and l predict that with in the next decade will come the Ert Uncqualcd growth in any part of the southwest n the same length of time The development and application of the power units, existing as Il result

VALLEYS FAME

A Comprehensive Campaign of Advertising Organized by Arizona Investment & Land Company-It is Well Under Way

one of the fast growing institu the biz things in the state of Ari- zona is the Arizona investment and Land company.

THE IRON SPRINGS
 OF SALT LAKE CITY
Pinecrest Delightful Utah Summer
 Resort

Pinecrest is the name of one of the most beautiful summer resorts in the mountains of Utah. There have been received in Phoenix several booklets of exceptional merit, illus trating the beautiful scenes about this famous resort. Local interest in Pinecrest is centered by the fact that it's owners were formerly Phoenix men and extensive property owners in Phoenix until recently, one of the principal men being c. N. Strevell, q Salt Lake capitalist. e
 Pinecrest is to Salt Lake what Iron Springs is to Phoenix. It is located 5000 feet higher than Salt Lake. Pinecrest contains besides the large magnificent Pinecrest Inn, a large number of summer homes of the wealthy people in Salt Lake city. It abounds in forest trees and springs with fish.

FIELD OF COTTON
 OH THE SOUTH SIDE
Rapid Development Of That Part of
 the Valley

What experts regard as one of the finest fields of Egyptian cotton in the valley Is that being raised by George Cate and R. D. Johnson on the Bartlett-IIeard ranch. This twen- ty-acre field is located just east of the Belgo- American Ostrich com rany's big ranch, and is now blos- soming quite heavily. presenting d very pretty sight. There are many other fine cotton fields southwest of Phoenix, and ride through the dis tricts just opened up by the comple- ton of the Western and Highline canals will prove very interesting.
 The development of this new south side district has been remarkable particularly when one realizes that the Center street bridge has been complete but little over two years and that it is only about three years since the lands of Bartlett-Ieard Co, lying under the san Francisco canal, were placed on the market
 The completion of the fine Union school and the cooperative building Of the NeighborhOod house the past season, gave q decided impetus to the whole neighborhood along the lines of community development, so that today there are probably few rural neighborhoods in the United States where the modern get-together spirit is better demonstrated

TIckled a Mule.

Little Paul Porpare had heard the
mules laugh, or at least make noises
that sounded like laughter, and so
when he saw a sad-faced jack stand
ing loose near a stable at Cypress
avenue and Troutman street, Brook
Ign, he decided 1t should be cheered
up. Little Paul-he is five years old
and lives at 81 Wyckoff avenue-got a
straw and tickled the mules ear. The
mule sort Of grinned and shook its
head, but didn't hee-haw Then little
Paul tried again. This time the mule
whirled about quickly, raised his heels
and the next sounds that little Paul
heard were the clang Of an ambulance
bell and the hee-haw Of the mule, COM
bined. The surgeon from the German
hospital bandaged up Paul's face and
hands, upon which he had slid along
the street after alighting. Then his
mother took him home.-New York
