MESA ASSURED
 OF B|C HOTEL
J. G. Spangler Interests En- glish Capital and Mesa Supports Proposition With $25,00O Subscription - To Cost $135, 5,0O0

Through the efforts of J, C. Spangler, cashier of the Mesa City bank. contract has been entered into whei eby modern fireproOf ho tel is to be erected in Mesa, costing with grounds approximately S135,00o. Mr. Spangler succeeded in interesting the capital which comes from Eng land, but he can be in no wise nor" enthusiastic than the loyal citizens of the town who so readily sub sCribed to the fund required before the signing of the contract. The committee composed of Dan Maho- ney. Dan Kleinman, J. J. Fraser, O. s. Stapley and J. C. Spangler, called upon the business men and citizens and within few hours had the S25.000 subscribed.
 The plans contemplate the organ iZation of a company capitalized at S150.O0 with the subsequent issuance C. bonds to the extent of $100,000 from the sale of which the building will be erected. several sites have been proposed but nothing definite will be done in the matter of se- lecting a location. However, plans will be perfected so that work can be started during the month of May.
 There is no one enterprise which could come to Mesa that would be of greater worth to the town than that under consideration. That this same feeling is voiced by the citizens and business men generally is best expressed by the subscription paper that was so liberally signed.

COTTON MEETING
From 12000 to 15,000 Acres Estim ated Acreage for Next Year;
 Long Staple Exclusively

A meeting of the stockholders of the Mesa Egyptian Cotton Exchange has been called for next Saturday afternoon a the city hail for the purpose of discussing the financing of the growing of the crop for next season. It is very important that every grower and prospective grow CT attend the session Saturday. At the last meeting the matter of short staple and long staple cotton was raised with the result that the grow CTS voted unanimously to plant noth- ing but the Egyptian variety
 The matter of rental prices and shares for the coming season. of course, varies with the different character and classification of the soil distance from gin, etc. Consij- erable land has been rented for the season for twenty dollars per acre while the majority mas rented for from $12.50 to $1500 per acre for the season In the cash rentals the own CT of the land furnishes the land alone while the renter provides for irrigation water, tools. stock. seed, picking etc. The renting on shares is the principal manner in which the crop will be grown. Several tracts have been let out on the one-third tasis-that is. the owner of the land furnishes the seed stock. imple- ments and gets one third of the cot ton delivered at the gin. The one falf basis which has been contracted for in several instances provides that the owner of the land furnish water
 tools. stock and pay for one-half of the picking and receives as his share cne-half of the cotton at the gin.
 Ore of the problems which will naturally confront the new board of directors and officers who are to be elected in May will be the looking about for a market The present indications are that the Liverpool LuNers are in a position to handle the local product to better ad vantage. There are 14.00O,000 spin dies working long staple cotton in England, while there are but 500, ,0O0 in the United States Mir Dorman the president of the local exchange has a letter from Stead Bros with a sample of Egyptian cotton, stating 1 that they had paid 22h cents per 1 pound for it. They also instructed Mir. Dorman ten days later that the
 Mesa product in direct competition with the cotton grown in Egypt had sold for 1@ cents higher on the | pound. There could be no better
 recommendation for the Mesa prod
 uct than the news from Liverpoo quoting prices. However, while the | Mesa product went in the regular size bales of 300 pounds. if the
 trans Atlantic market is sought reg
 ularly it will be necessary to put 1T
 gin compress. The necessity oi
 this is shown in the freight rates i The rate from this point to Bostor
 is SLY while it is $1.16 to LiverpoO
 after having been compressed
 Those who are interested in the Lure cotton as it is grown and com
 ressed in Egypt should visit tho
 Mesa City bank and examine the
 sample bale shipped in by that in
 stitution for the express purpose O.
 cnlightening the growers upon sub
 iect vital to them. The bale contain: $40 pounds and in size is hardly hal
 as large as regular bale. The fibr,
 is compressed so tioht,v that i
Arizona republican., 1914-02-12

seems hardly possible to drive a nail into it.
 The compress seems to be one or the means toward securing the pest market The necessary machinery for nroper baling would entail an expense of between $3.OO0 and $4'oVo' It appears to be the general oplnloh of the cotton growers that the exchange should be equipped to nan dle the cotton to the very best ad- vantage. The compress is a matter that will be taken up at some tune in the future.
