MANY INVESTORS ARRIVING
The large number of settlers and

been said III these columns before,
the rest Of the country has been sci

crn communities too poor TO pay the
price for their share of attention.
The Southwest with all lis neglected
and latent possibilities is coming into

TO Be MODERN IN EVERY WAY
Houses will Also be Erected on City

The Home Plots Company, c. j.
Laughren, president, will begin the
development of its 10 and 20-acre
tracts, which adioin the townsite on
all sides of the city, just as fast ao
buyers can be- found. The plans of
the company include not only the de
velopment of water on the land, but
the erection of n dwelling as well.
The houses. from three to six rooms
each, are to be- of pebble dash ce-
ment brick, equipped with bath room,
electric lights and running water
throughout. The water will be pro-
vided from II special elevated tank

INDIVIDUAL PLANTS
The irrigation plants will be indi-
vidual and under the absolute control
Of the owner of each tract. The
American Well Works will furnish the
pumps which will be- driven BY elec-
tricity supplied by the Dcming lc,
and Electric Company. For securing
n cheaper rate for current the plants
will be equipped with storage tanks

POTATO GROWING IN

TuherS Have Done Well Here When
Proper Seed Was Selected

in the last two or three years in rails

can g,l an insight into the future oi
what may be accomplished here along
the same lines.
LATE VARIETIES BEST
Growers here say that late vari-
clIc~ do the best. Early POTATOES do
not yield ~ we'll, rot easily, and il
Icll in the ground take second growth
from the action of the summer rains,
which sci IN about the time they are

METHOD IMPORTANT

When irrigation il necessary opc'
a y-~haped furrow in every othcr
row with an eight or tcu-lmrh lister
For the second irrigation furrowS are
opened in the middle that were not
opened in the first irrigation, and th
alienation j. continued for succeed
me irrigatiouS. Do not irrigatc too
late in the season. Fifty or SiXtN
days should be given for the tubcr-
to ripeu in dry earth.
ADVANTAGE IN PURE WATEl'
We have an advantage here in oul
irrigation water over that used IL
Colorado. There the water is cold
which lowers the soil temperatWr,
and is harder ON the growing crop
Here the water is pure and mucl
warmer, as it is pumped direct from
our wells onto the fields.
ANOTHER GREAT ADVANTAGE
Expensive storage cellars will no
have to he built here to guard agains
severe winter weather, as in Colo
RADIO, yet the winters are cold enough
here to permit potatoes TO be KEEP
in good condition until spring.
VARIETIES
Successful varieties for western o
mountain conditions are not plentiful
In Colorado, Early Ohio and Ros

As to yield We have high stan

Five TO fifteen hundred pounds per

OFFERS MILLION
TO RESTORE BANK
Outsider viii Put Up That
Amount if Bayonne Nationals
Officers Quit.

BAYONNE, Dec 1.-THE depositors
in the First National Bank, which was
closed by a national bank examiner,
have received the encouraging
news that a man living outside of
Bayonne had offered to put up $1,000
900, IL the depositors will contribute
100000 and call upon the committee of
reorganization to GUST every officer
sand director of the bank.
There is no doubt that the offer will
be accepted, though the menbe of
the committee will not discuss It,
They also refuse to divulge the name
of the rescuer.
Some of the officers and directors.
when approached last night, also de-
cllned TO comment on the offer. How
ever, friends of the officers said that
they would not attempt in any way to
oppose a recommendation by the COM
mittee If it advised or demanded their
elimination. 1t was said that they
would gladly sacrifice themselves in
any effort that would help out the de-
poeitors.
The committee of reorganization will
meet tonight to discuss plans. They
sent a telegram to Representative
Eugene +. Kinkead asking him to at
tend. He replied, saying he would be
on hand to give what advice he could
and to assist, so far as he could, in
Strengthening out the banks affairs.
The city of Bayonne has $50, 900 tied
up in the First National in addition
to $4,000 deposited by the city for the
City Library. which is controlled by
the city. The $4,000 deposit was for
the sinking fund.

material while it is little nearer to
the Panama Canal
1T is easy of defense against sea
attack, as compared with Narragan-
sett Bay, and, furthermore, New York
is always likely to be Incompatible
the best defended port on the coast,
its great interests and the character
of its entrance both contributing to
this end.
CAS- regards proximity to a great
centre of supply and materials New
York Is incomparably superior to all
other ports. as it is by far the great
est centre of supply Of materials that
exists on the western continent. Ar
ticles of ordinary commercial design
and composition can be obtained in
a few hours. In Narragansett Bay
supplies would ordinarily take several
days for delivery and could not be
selected except at great cost. Nearly
all would come from or through New
York.
1.-The conditions Of labor supplies
in yards which are not near large
cities are well appreciated by all who
have had experience with them. The
labor situation in a large yard located
near Narragansett Bay would be seri-
Gus. Only workmen continually en-
ployed would be available. Men would
not go far for employment lasting
only a few days or weeks. Sudden
and temporary increase of force in
an emergency would be impossible"
Captain Van Duzer makes estimates
that a yard which would meet his
ideas and equipped with drydocks,
railways and all modern appliances,
would eventually cost $26,521,00
'Tf the present yard were Sold" he
1.-THE receipts for its sale
would go a long way toward paying
for the new yard"

URGES NAVY YARD
ON JERSEY SITE
Place Where Entire Fleet Car
Be Repaired Needed, Says
Van DIzer.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Whether the
navy yard at this port should be at
Brooklyn or Communipaw was dis
sHssed yesterday by the Society Of
Naval Architects and Marine Engi-
neers at the general meeting, held in
the Engineering building, % West
Thirty-ninth street.
Their expression of views grew out
of the paper of Captain Louis S. Van
of the New Jersey location.
i, "This paper was prepared to show
that we must have at least one large
navy yard" to quote the abstract
where the entire feet can be effec-
lively repaired and supplied in time
of war. That fact being admitted the
question is considered from three
points of view-the suitability of loca-
ton, the capacity of the yard and
the cost of construction, maintenance
and operation"
Taking the various requirements in
succession" said Captain Van Duzer,
I'VE find that the position of New
York is superior to all ports on the
coast as regards depth of water and
ordinary ease of exit and entrance,
with the single exception of Nara
gansett Bay. 1t is the only port on
our whole coast which has two en-
frances separated by 100 miles. 1t is
nearly in the industrial centre of the
coast 1t is somewhat further from
Europe than Narragansett Bay, but
the difference is so small as to be i'm
