NOTHING IN AMERICA
JUST LIKE Ell M|RAS0t

Mark Twain once said or wrote that
if everybody had the same opinion
about the speed of a horse there would
be no occasion for horse racing. So,
if the tastes of everybody regarding
hotel accommodations were the same
all the hotels would be alike. 1t is this
difference in taste and preference
which accounts for the individuality of
certain hotels. Some people like to
bask in the spotlight of publicity fur
nished by the average hotel lobby. like
to see and be seen, take pleasure in
the blare of a band, and the general air
of pleasurable confusion. Others pre-
fer conditions as quiet and elegant as
in their own homes. To this class will
appeal particularly the combination of
small hotel and bungalows known as
FL MirasOl at Santa Barbara. Here
people will live in their own houses
which they have made into any de-
sired arrangement of suite, always
with private entrance and hall. Meals
may be taken in their own apartments
or in the main dining room as they
may desire. Both hotel and bungalows
are furnished beautifully, and the
grounds are splendidly laid out. Two
country clubs are nearby offering 4
variety of seasonable sports. There is
nothing in the country just like FL
Mirasol for refined folks who wish to
live at a summer resort in their usual
exclusive style.

A STATE WITH A LID.

For six years Kansas has been en-
gagged in demonstrating that prohibit
ton does prohibit. The anti-booze
laws have been on the books thirty
years, but until six years ago they
were enforced spasmodically or in
spots.
1t is no wonder that the gifted ed
itors of the Brewers Year Book
made fun of prohibition in Kansas
They had splendid opportunity for
satire, and made the most of it.
Their venerable and favorite argu-
ment that prohibition increases the
sale of liquor was hard to combat,
the way Kansas was behaving her
self
Then Stubs was elected Governor
Stubs is a man with red hair and
backbone and a lot of cranky no
tons. One of these cranky notions
is that laws should be enforced.
When he was a candidate he an
nounced that he would close the sa
Icons and joints if he had to call out
the militia to do it. Other candidates
had talked in the same way MANY
times, and old John Barleycorn
merely winked his starboard eye,
While his fat paunch quivered with
merriment And the able editors Of
the Brewers Year Book were greatly
amused and looked upon Stubs as
the great American humorist
Stubs was elected. and with him
an attorney general who was fond
of exercise, and the two of them
got busy without wasting an hour
Also. a lot of fanatics got into the
legislature, and they began passing
the most drastic laws against booze
sellers ever heard of in any civilized
country. All branches of the state
government worked together in
harmony to the same end, and the
pursuit of bootleggers and iointists
became as popular in Kansas as
fox hunting is in England. Selling
hooZe became the objectionable
crime, and there was no respite or
nepenthe for the man guilty of it.
He was chevied across country with
tallyho and hoopla. The first
oifense meant a county Jail sentence
and big fine The second meant
term in the penitentiary
The saloon doors We're closed with
such slam that the hinges broke,
and the jointists consulted their fam
| lily physicians and found that a
change of air was necessary to their
health. County attorneys and other
| officials who were inclined to be neg
| lleent in the pursuit of booze sellers
We're summoned to Topeka, and when
| they returned to their offices they
were covered with a cold sweat. and
| they offended no more. Never be-
tore was there such a campaign
against booze, and in a few weeks
the lid was down. From that day
to this Kansas has been a uiscour
agement to the cultured editors OF
the Brewers Year Book That an
nual volume no longer sparkles witt
Jests concerning prohibition in Kan
Sas. The work appears to have LOST
the spirit of optimism that once

Being a Letter from Water
Users to Board Of Trade
Defining Some Phases of
Present Situation on the
Irrigated Lands.

In response to your request the
following information concerning the
lands under the Salt River project
is supplied for general distribution.
The lands under the above project
are all in the hands of private own
ers. There are no lands open for
entry or for demonstrating which may
reasonably expect to receive water
from this system.
Limits Of the Project
The present limits of the project
have been determined to be $4,000
acres including townsites, or 10000
acres of farm lands. The total pos
sible area, provided additional water
is developed will not exceed 100000
acres all of which is held by private
owners, excepting about 10000 acres
filed on by homestead entlymen and
no longer available for entry
Cost of Water Service
The cost of water service under the
Salt River project is s100 an acre
This is for two acre feet. If land
owner desires to purchase additional
water he tam uO SO hl INC loiio W Ills
prices. One additional acre foot so
cents, two additional acre feet s1.00.
This makes the total cost for two
acre feet, $1.00; three acre feet, $50:
four acre feet, $500.
After very careful investigation it
has been estimated by government
officials that three acre feet are
amply sufficient for most crops.
Payments for Water Service
Payments for water charges are
made as follows: Due on the first
Of October s100 for two acre feet.
Charges for additional water are due
as the water is used.
Construction Charges
The construction cost for building
the Roosevelt dam, the Granite Reef
dam, power plants and the entire
system as it now stands has reached
approximately $11,000,000. In addi-
ton to this amount the farmers
raised S1.00O. 900 which has been eX-
pended in erecting additional power
plants
The $1,00O.00O has already been
paid. The $11,000,000 cost will be
distributed over the acreage included
in the project which approximates
210, 600 acres or equal to about $50

made if a favorte fireside compan-
ion.
There is no place in Kansas where
liquor is openly sold; and if there
IS an occasional secret Joint. the
owner is doing business in fear and
trembling, and he will go to the
penitentiary sooner or later.
The laws governing drug stores are
as drastic as they could be made.
and the learned pharmicist has the
fear Of God in his heart. He no lon
ge' sells Peruna or Hostetter's Bit
ters as a beverage, and he has no
tonic Of his own compounding that
causes the consumer to go forth and
try to whip a policeman.
Now and then bootlegger en-
barks in business in q sequestered
alley, but before he has succeeded
in building up fairly good family
trade the officers get him. 1t takes
so much time and trouble to get a
spirituous drink in Kansas that even
the MIST enthusiastic booze fan will
drink from garden hose rather than
make the effort.

RIVER VALLEY PROJECT

an acre. The reclamation act calls
for the repayment of this sum to the
government in ten equal annual in
stallments.
A bill to change the repayment
period has been approved by the as
sociation of water users and has
been passed by the senate and is
now before the house of representa-
tives. 1t is proposed to spread the
payment over twenty years in grad
uated amounts.
Credit from Power
In excess of the power needed for
irrigation pumping. the Salt River
project has a credit account for pow
err sold various parties 1t is estimat-
ed that beginning in 1915 the project
will receive half a million dollars a
year. AT the present time sales to
the local lighting company in the
city of Phoenix yield about $4,000
year and to various other COM
panies about $4,000 a year. Power
is now being delivered to the mining
companies at Miami, Arizona. The
mines will pay approximately 100000
year for 10000 horsepower.
Beginning in 1915 this will make a
revenue of 100000 a year. Later
other power sites may be developed
and it is expected that revenue of
$780, 900 a year could be made to ac-
crue to the project. Power plants
now built and under way will develop
$4,000 horsepower
Land Prices
Land prices in the Salt River VAL
ley for lands under the reclamation
project vary from SIS an acre up to
$500 an acre according to distance
from Phoenix and other cities in the
valley The price is also affected by
the proximity to railroads car lines
and other features of development.
Size of Holding
The acreage owned by one person
will be limited to one hundred and
sixty acres when the project is de-
clared open. in ACCORDANCE with the
reclamation act.
Water Rights
Water rights within the project
cannot be purchased without land.
The water and the land are INSOFAR
able. The purchase of land that has
right to water within the project
entities the owner to water service
up to a maximum of 100 acres in
any one ownership.
