 With the stored water locked up in the hills, the farmer in the valley is safe in his farming operations. He can plan ahead with safety. He knows that against the time of need the water is waiting his call upon it. He has found out that Safety First" is now con sidered and so to irrigated farming he looks for success

FAMOUS bRANANM RANCH
 IS SOLD FOR s25,O0O
Pinal County Ranch Sells for $25 ,000 to Jo. Anderson

A big ranch deal was consumated in Phoenix this week by which the famous Branaman ranch near Hay den in Pinal county passed into the possession of Joseph Anderson of North Central avenue The consid eration in the deal was $25,000.
 Every one of the old timers in Arizona knows the famous Brana- man ranch on the Gila river. For years it was the stopping place for the cross country travel and the stream of overland travel that went up and down the Gila river from Florence to Phoenix and beyond
 There are over six hundred tcres in the ranch and it is stocked with 250 head of cattle. The result of this purchase on the part of MT An derson will be watched by his friends with a great deal of interest In view of the ultimate constructi n of a dam on the Gila in the neigh borhood of San Carlos and the prob ability that the whole of the property will thus be brought under constant irrigation it is regarded as an ex ceptionally good buy.

 Tn common with many other firms we entered the summer season with some apprehension, expecting it to be especially slow. In view of that l planned to spend most of my time in the Upper Verde country, but in this I was disappointed and have had to stay in Phoenix to attend to bus mess.
 The outlook for the coming win ter is splendid and we expect to be right there in the business. All our plans are laid for heavy winters business.
 We have number of residential propositions in city and suburban property to present this fall and winter beside the usual attractive valley land deals"

As Housewife Conserves Soft Water to Wash Her Fine Linen So Do Farm CTS Save Irrigation Sup plies in Reservoir
BY HARRY WEIGH

Today Safety First" is heard on ev- cry hand, and the cry of Safety First in farming means irrigation. There is nothing so sure as success. There IS nothing more potent in farming than watoer When the farmer can get rain when he needs it, and as much as he requires and more than is necessary than he can put the farm on the proper
 business basis.
 The prudent housewife realizing the
 value of rainWater stores it up in a
 barrel against time when she needs 1t
 for household purposes. The prudent
 farmer, with the cooperation of Uncle
 Sam, has constructed a giant rain barrel" This storage tank will hold water enough to cover 1,240,000 acres d foot deep, the water to be used when
 his crops and lands most need it. In the Salt River valley, in Arizona. there are thousands of acres of splen- did soil easy to farm, rich in those properties that make crops grow and all that is required for successful farm ing is plenty of water. The climate is an ideal one for growing things, and
 now that water has been conserved and is supplied there is union of 1 farming conditions that means sue | cess It was not always so. The Salt River flows through the valley, and at | times the flow of this stream is enorm- ous Rainstorms in the mountains swell the stream until it reaches an | immense size The water once went
 to waste, but not so now. The work of storing this flood water has been ac- complished and in addition, diversion
 works. which turn the water from the stream bed into the big canals, have l been built and are in operation.
 | Water storage for 240000 acres has been constructed. The storage dam. i the Roosevelt dam, is the second larg- est dam in the world It is a great | structure built of stone, steel and ce-
 ment It was built with great pre- 1 cision and care. The blocks of stone that go to make this giant wall were all washed under hydraulic pressure be- | fore being put into place. Some of | them weigh thirty tons, and each is set in a bed of concrete which unites the | whole into one solid mass. The dam is built in the form of great arch. It is 2S5 it. high from the foundations, which are set into the bedrock of the river to
 a depth of thirty feet. The dam covers an acre of ground at it's base. It is 1,0S0 feet long on top where it is crowned with beautiful roadway with
 protecting parapet twenty feet wide in
 the clear. The dam is also connected
 by two splendid bridges with the road way on the north and south banks oi the canyon.

DEMAND IS STRONG,
 SUPPLY IS LIGHT

The market on choice city residence properties in Phoenix may well be described by the terms, Demand strong; supply light"
 For such is truly the case and the fact is very well evident to the office of Dwight B. Heard, where more prospective buyers have called to in quire about properties ranging in val Ue from s2.500 to $3,5OO than has ever been the case at this season of the year. The desire to eventually own their own home" is becoming less and less latent, resulting in rather embarrassing situation in the real estate market despite the eX tensive building operations which have been going on this summer. The special demand of course, is for the well constructed bungalow of medium size and price, very few of which are ever known to remain either un- rented or unsold. after building oper- ations have once been started.

of sandstone making the site an ideal one. Back of the dam about an eighth of mile, the narrow canyon suddenly opens out into great natural basin which extends in each direction north and south about fourteen miles. The reservoir or basin resembles a great bird with wings out-stretched and head resting at the point where the big storage dam is built.
 The water stored in this lake passes through certain tunnels connected with the dam works and in it's passage gen crates electricity. On it's release it runs into the bed of the Salt River and follows this course until it reaches the diversion dam forty miles away This diversion dam, as before told backs up the water so that 1t flows into the i big canals and in this way reaches the farms all over the project.
 The water in it's journey down the river generates electric power Power is also developed on the canals in the valley. and also at the diversion dam This power is sold to the cities in the Salt River valley for traction, light and other purposes and is also seld to mines and factories.
 The Roosevelt reservoir is the larg- est artificial lake in the world The water is stocked with fish, and the place will eventually become a favor ite resort. The road from Phoenix to the dam is wonderful Interest in creases every moment From the city of Phoenix, the busiest and best in Arizona. the road runs through farm sections which delight the traveller, then run across the so-called desert, 1 full of attractions for the visitor Half of the journey is through the Supersti- ! tion Mountains. These great rock bar riers are full of deep canyons, weird forms of wildly colored rock masses. ] The trip is a never ending surprise. i The splendid view overlooking Fish Creek where the little stopping station l is like dot in the canyon bottom over sheer thousand feet below is only one along the banks of the Salt River, and at this point the stream resembles a quiet eastern bass river Oddly shaped cactus growths abound everywhere and the. frequent glimpses of bird and ani- mai life on the journey add new and interesting features at every turn.
 Before the building of the dam there was no road. The only way to enter the reservoir country was over wild Indian trails on horseback The sec tion had an i'll reputation The willy Geronimo, in early days, selected the Tonto Basin as favorite retreat when too closely followed by the soldiers of Uncle Sam. The coming of the road
 the filling up of the Tonto Basin,, which
 is now the reservoir, have changed
 conditions. The Apache Indian today
 is peaceful and useful. It is to the
 Apache Indians in great roeos'-t
 that we owe the road. When labor was
 hard to secure the Indian became the workman and hundreds of them worked
 in the building of the road, laying tho } rock walls with great skill, quickly be.

Folsom, alfalfa seed expert with the great grain and seed house of Albert Dickinson and Co. of Chi cago spent a few days in the Salt River and Buckeye valleys the past week He says the local seed more than deserves its fine reputation for beauty and cleanliness and it is only the superior quality of valley seed that makes it possible to ship it to the eastern markets He said that in all his experience he had never seen such alfalfa as he had seen at Buckeye and that he simply could not ask for finer color. fullness and uniformity than the seed produced in Buckeye this year The Dickinson Go. maintains the greatest seed cleaning plant in existence and operates in all of the worlds mar 'kets.

PRESENT OUTLOOK IN VALLEY |S
 EXTREMELY SATISFYING ID ALL
Money Market Becomes Less Stringent and Several Very Good Loans Have Been Consummated During the Past Week-Outook for Fall is Such as to Please Every body

Among real estate men in Phoenix lsSt week there was a distinctly bet ter feeling over the general view of conditions that is now being taken, iu fact. the conditions have improved in the last week to a great extent, fulfilling the prophecy of this paper of some weeks ago. The prospects for fall and winter now look better than ever. -osier than ever
 The effect of this better feeling vas made known by the loan market in this city. During the week the money tightness became less and in consequence a number of excellent leans upon valley property were made by the local agents of Califor- nia investors.
 Coupled with this came the ex- pected change in the weather and the quite heavy precipitation on the

 Real estate men who have been over the valley from one end to the other during the past week are jubi lant at it's appearance. They are unanimous in saying that it looks fine-never better-and this, too, is an asset for the fall increase in busi :. ness.
 The evident relief that is thus felt in the realty market now will have it's effect during the month of Au- gust, which is always a slow month owing to the fact that so many va cations are taken during that month. This year the offices expect to do a good business during August

IMPRISONED VICAR

In Vain He TolIed tho Bell to Attract Relief

LONDON, August 1.-Three hours tollng of the bell of the parish church at Ulrome, in Yorkshire, on Tuesday afternoon, caused some re- marks among the villagers, but no one went to see what was the cause.
 The vicar, the Rev. Paulus Ash kenaZie had clambered up d long ladder in the church tower to inves- tigate the upper chamber, but when he started to descend q rung snapped thus imprisoning him in the tower.
 He thought that if he tolled the bell on a weekday some one would run up to the church and release him.
 He tolled. He kept on tolling, and the villagers kept on with their GUS

 A farm servant later noticed the distress signal, and brought the vil lage carpenter and other helpers. The task of getting the vicar down from the tower was difficult, and at the last moment he narrowly escaped falling to the floor.
