certainty as to the construction cost of the project.
 In view of all this, therefore, am morally certain that pr. Mead, as a member of the local board of cost re- view, and as chairman of the general board of cost review will leave no stone unturned to bring about a set clement of the cost of the project that will at once be accepted as fair to Uncle Sam and eminently just to the land owner.
 Former Chairman Fleming had made short trip through the valley on the occasion of the mass meeting held at Somerton, and the scenes were not quite so new to him as to pr. Mead but when he made his former trip, much of the ground was then barren, just being prepared for the fall crops. He was utterly astounded at the immense crops of the various kinds of corn, never before having seen anything to approach them He halls from the great corn belt state of Iowa, where 1000 to 1,5O0 pounds per acre is regarded as a great crop. He could hardly believe his own eyes when he saw maize and other corn of that species that will run from 1000 to 5000 pounds per acre; and cotton that goes over two bales to the acre, as compared to an average of less than half a bale throughout the cotton states. He, like his fellow member of the board of cost review, is doub.y anxious to see the question of costs settled quickly and fairly
 The public hearing began yesterday in the former boards room at the reclamation headquarters. There is every indication that great satisfac- tion reigns throughout the project over the coming to our midst of these two distinguished reviewers. They certainly have been most cordially greeted by the water users of the valley-just as they should be.

 Bishop Henry Granjon is building a parochial school on Ochoa street next to the new Marist college. It is a one story building of brick and will contain four class rooms and auditor ium. The dimensions are 102 by 94.3 feet.
 The estimated total of building for the year does not include numerous small jobs where the cost is under $50. MT. Bailey also points out that the actual expenditure is greater than the total of the permits since the es- timated cost of a building does not include plumbing and furnishing. For instance while the valuation of the Masonic Temple shows on the city's books at $61,OOO, the cost, in- cluding furnishings will be $10},O0

TUCSON, Oct. That the total amount Of building in Tucson for the calendar year of 1915 will amount to $440,O00, making it the best year in the history of the city, was estimated this morning by Building Inspector J. L. Bailey. In comparison with the total for 1914, S388,067, which was the banner year up to that time, the estimate for 1915 makes anti-prohibi- tion campaign literature of last fall look like waste paper and causes one to wonder what has become of those g vacant saloon buildings.
 The estimate made by Mir Bailey includes $18,OOO and the city hall $5O,0OO which are expected to be under way before the books fer 1915 are closed

as l ever saw, and the crops are simply magnificent!'
 Such was Dr. Elwood Mead's declaration late Mon day afternoon when he re- turned from a tour of inspec- ton of Yuma valley and the mesa, in company with form CT Chairman Fleming, Presi- dent Thacker, of the Water Users Association, and Pro- ject Manager Lawson, pre- paratory to beginning the hearings before the local board of cost review.
 When Dr. Mead was here some weeks ago, he devoted his entire time to the Califor- nia lands of Yuma project. He did not even have time to see the big orange grove on. the mesa, and saw absolutely nothing of Yuma valley.
 His trip of Monday, therefore, was as though he were visiting 9 new country in it's entirety. Every foot of ground he visited was new to his eyes. The whole scene was a revelation.
 From the enthusiastic man. ner in which he spoke of what he saw, as well as the vast possibilities of Yuma valley and the mesa, l am led to believe that nowhere else in the world has Dr. Mead ever beheld a richer domain than the acreage contained in the Arizona lands of Yuma project.
 With degree of frankness char acteristic of the man, Dr. Mead con- pared the fields of Yuma valley to the fields throughout the United States, as well as those in Australia and oth- CT foreign countries, saying he had never seen anything to surpass even if equal to the fields of alfalfa, maize, kaffir corn, and feterita that greeted his eyes in every direction on Mon days tour of inspection.
 He was equally impressed with the farm houses and other improvements, especially those that have been con- structed in the past two CT three years. It is his opinion that Yuma project will go forward by leaps and bounds just as soon as the controversy can be settled between the govern ment and land owners as to the cost of constructing the irrigation system, and, il such a thing be possible, he is more anxious than ever to see this veXatious question settled at the earli- est possible moment, realizing, as he certainly must, that much of this i'm mensely rich land now remains in
