BUSINESS MEN REVIEW PA5T YEAR
Annual Reports Given Association ments Shown in Numerous Membership Gain Was Larse-Present Times Not Inviting for New In- dustries President Cruiekshank and Others Re port From State Meeting

have attended six directors meetings of the state association and the mid winter banquet, all of which were held in Hartford.
 Marking back to the part of Pres- dent Johnson's report that refers to the growth Of the locals. That the local Business Men's associations of today in almost every city and town have completely outgrown their pure ly mercantile membership of former years and are actively engaged in the civic and general business develop ment of their communities and that we are occupying a much broader field than ever before, Is by Secretary Pear sons report proven beyond contradic- tion and would therefore recommend that this association listen with close attention to the report and recommend ations of the special bylaws commit tee when they make their report and urge upon you the need that this body follow in the lead of thet state body and broaden the scope of It's work and it's field of development Passing hurrtedly over my personal weaknesses. wish to say that have given unsparingly of my time to the needs of the association, attending witf one or two exceptions every local state and national committee meeting as well as numerous special meetings called for purposes that it was hoped might advance in a variety of ways oul city and town.
 In closing wish to thank the direc- tors and members for their support and cooperation without which 1t would have been impossible to carry forward the vast amount of work this asso- citation has been engaged in the pasI year.
 Trusting that you will give to my successor the same splendid support that you have accorded me and that the year 1925 will be one of promise and accomplishments is my earnest desire. The greater activities of this body have increased in a large degree the duties and the labors of the sec retary but the results have Justlfiec the time and labor spent.
 Change e Name Deferred.
 The special committee appointed to submit suitable revised bylaws at the meeting with reference to the amalga- nation of the local association with the State Chamber of Commerce, necessi- tating a change of name to the Nor- wich Chamber of Commerce, through its chairman, Frank H. Smith. report ed that they had been unable to secure copy of the bylaws adopted by the State Chamber of Commerce, as the bylaws have not as yet been printed for distribution, and that they were therefore unable to make a report al the meeting. Owing to this fact the matter of the change of name and also the election of new officers to serve the coming year was deferred until g later date which is subject to the call of the president.

RANCHES AND ROADS ARE
 BEING PUT IN THE EAST

Nothing in this valley has so inn pressed Col J. H. McClintock, the post master of the city of Phoenix, so much as the great improvement of ranches and roads in the western section of the northern part of the irrigated portion of the Salt River region of Arizona In a trip to the Pima reserve east of Scottsdale yesterday the colonel had an opportunity to observe the building up of one of the projects most favorable parts.
 The well graded country roads are a lesson in saving. They are quite gen. eral in the wide brown space east of the Hole-i in- the Rock buttes. Now, green spots are all over the desert, ditches from the Arizona canal bringing the water to the land. Little farm houses are being built in dozens of fertile patches, where tanners of the wastes are making homes. Good roads net the desert, connecting the farms and providing entry-Ways into Phoe- nix
 It is a good class of farm that is be- ing planted in this region, too, showing that a progressive community is sett- ling there.

CANT ASSIGN
 H0MbSTEADS
Department of the Interior Uses This Ruling on Basis of Order in Contest Case. Minor Heirs Involved in the Ruling

Inquiry concerning the assignment of homestead holdings to members of the family of the entrymen are ans swered in a letter which was re- Ceived by President John P. Orme of the Water Users association yes terday It is in reply to questions put to the department of the interior soon after the forty-acre homestead ruling was mentioned.
 ''I am in receipt of your letter of January 20, 1914, requesting to be advised whether an entryman within the Salt River irrigation project can transfer by assignment or otherwise a portion of his entry to a minor child, such inquiry arising out of the probable reduction in the area of homestead entries within said project as the result of the conformation of such entries to farm units.
 In reply I have to advise you that in the case of Robert c. Newton, ct al, (41 L. D., 42D, the department of the interior held that:
 The reclamation act contem- plates that one family shall ac- quire only one farm unit there under; and where an entry With in a reclamation project is con- formed to farm units. the wife of the entryman is not qualified to take an assignment under the act of June 23 1910, of portion of her husbands entry excluded from the farm unit re- tained by him
 By analogy the minor child of a homestead entryman within rec lamation project would not be en- titled to take by assignment any portion of a parents entry excluded from such entry by the conformation thereof to a farm unit unless such minor child is the head of a family himself and thus independent of such parent and not a member of the parents immediate family.
 Very respectfully,
 "(Signed) CLAY TALLMAN,
 Commissioner

 Thorouchfares

i At a mass meeting of Chandler | citizens held at the school house at
 Chandler last Tuesday evening the committee in charge of the maturing
 of plan for planting trees made it's report. The committee recommended
 that the Central avenue running north and south, Arizona avenue, I which runs through the center of
 town from north to south. and Com monwealth avenue, which does the same from east to west be planted
 cn the curb with Washington palms. end on the property line with pep per trees. also that the northeast quarter of the town thus divided be planted to robenia trees, the north vest to pepper trees, the southeast to ash and the southwest to umbrella trees The plan was unanimously adopted and the committee author iZed to purchase trees and attend to their planting. A further committee was then appointed to find what flowers were best adapted to this climate and make suggestions re- garding the beautifying of lawns. The Methodist church congregation has definitely decided to build their church on the corner of Cleveland and California streets. The building is to be 6Ox12O feet, of brick with cement stucco finish of modified Half of the building is to be erected new, and work on the same will
 start at once.
 Chandler is to have a new busi- ness enterprise in the Chandler Com
 mission and Produce Co, the firm being composed of F. V. N. Dana who for some time has been prom
 inently connected with the Chandler Improvement Co.,, and whose resig- nation to that company takes effect the fifteenth of this month, and Dr. \. G. Barackman, secretary of the Chandler board of trade. The firm is now erecting a commodious build l ing, and will commence business as soon as their new quarters are com | pleted.
 Under the firm name of Morrison Brothers, E. E. Morrison and L. H. Morrison succeed Rinear & Sons in the grocery business. who for a year or more have done an exceed ingly good business under the special l management of Logan Montgomery. The Rinear brothers will remain in Chandler and are now considering several new mercantile ventures As further evidence of Chandler's continued prosperity the Chandler Improvement company's report for
 the last sixty days show $50,OOO of property sold mostly to new arrivals
 in the valley during that time.
