 As announced last week by Presi- dent Watson of the Arizona Land and Irrigation Company, definite ac- ton has been taken to begin system of extensive developing at once. Larry Little has been awarded the first con tract to blow a unit of 400 acres that will be cultivated to alfalfa, and he was in the city yesterday closing the purchase with the Arizona Mine Sup ply Co.,, for the machinery required. The seed for this tract is en route, and will arrive not later than this week.

Several thousand fruit trees have been ordered, and planting begins early next spring. The Ari- zona Mine Supply Co. also closed the deal yesterday with the Hassayampa Alfalfa Farms Co. for a new hay press, of a capacity to bale IA tons per day. This machinery begins op- erating today to bale 2,000 tons of rye. the first crop raised as an initial testing of soil conditions, and which exceeded all anticipations from the excellent quality of the article pro duced by dry farming only. The digging of the main canal and later als progresses favorably, about 400 feet being the headway made daily. Irrigating from Lake Watson begins during September.

COCA COLA SIGNS FILL
 FEDERAL COURT ROOM

One corner filled with advertising signs of the Coca Cola Company and another with sample bottles of Coca Cola, Koke, Dope, Koko, Colarex, Cola, Cola-Nip, Coco, Star Cola and Rye-Ola, the Federal court room yesterday during the case of the Coca Cola Company versus five Koke com panies appeared more like bottling works or a soda fountain than a temple of justice.
 The depositions Of the plaintiff and the defendants, which were entered in the record, consist of no less than 7,50O typewriter pages and consti- ute testimony taken all over the country. The case of the plaintiff which was finished yesterday also contains the Coca Cola advertising signs and numerous bottles which were entered as exhibits. Hundreds of witnesses have been examined and the testimony mostly is iii regard to infringements on the word Coca Cola by dealers using the products of the defendant companies.
 Dr. ]. J. Kessler, a chemist of the City of St. Louis, was placed on the stand in behalf of the Koke people and in his testimony he told of the chemical analysis of Coca Cola and what he found 1t to contain. Ac- cording to Kessler it contains 5 per cent sugar, phosphoric acid, lime juice and vanilla and has a taste very similar to lime juice. Kessler will be placed on the stand again this morn ing at 10 o'clock when court recon venes.
 A temporary injunction prohibiting William Sproull from pasturing hogs on the national forest reserve was issued by Judge Sawtelle. This case is one transferred from the Tucson and Globe district.

OLD CASH MINE
 MAKES GOOD RETURNS
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

AIlOll W NQHSSudS DdiiN.J
 N. H. Getchell, who assumed charge Of the Cash mines of Hassayampa district, under a bond a short time ago, is making a success, as he dis played yesterday bar of gold bull lion valued at $1,S00, and estimates the concentrate yield at fully $1,0O0, if not more. This product was given from a ten days run only of the mill, with single shift. This is the biggest showing this old-time mine has made in many years, and MT. Getchell attributes the splendid re- covery made as due to the Monell sinner and concentrating tables that were first introduced in this section when the Y.-P. Company was in charge of the property.
 Speaking of mine conditions he says there is a tonnage available to run the mill to its full capacity on a 24-hour shift for the next six months, and the grade of the ore will average to what has been returned in the last run. The miners employed at present number only six, but will be increased. when full mill shift run is made, some time in the near flu ture.

BATES HEAD OF AGRI-
 CULTURAL DEPARTMENT
CFrom Wednesdays Daily)

(From w edneSdayS Dany.) President R. N. Fredericks of the Northern Arizona Fair, yesterday ap pointed l.. l.. Bates as superintendent of the horticultural and agricultural department. Along this line, also the board of supervisors yesterday ap- pointed Mir. Bates as county fair com missioner. Mir. Bates will make a splendid man for both these import ant posts. as he is not only familiar with exhibit work, but his work brings him in direct touch with agri- cultural and horticultural matters.
 Newspapers articles have been dis patched by Miss Sparkes to all the papers in Northern Arizona and this work will be continued vigorously until the opening of the fair.
 The superintendents of the various departments of the fair are busy mak- ing corrections and additions to their sections of the premium list. When this work is completed, the premium list will go to press and immediately thereafter mailed to every interested person in the five northern counties. Wm. Dustin, chairman of the ads committee, has about completed his work in securing ads for the premium list.
 Secretary Shaughnessy of the State fair has written the Northern Arizona Fair Association, advising that the State fair premium list will contain a list of all the fairs to be held in the State of Arizona, includ- ing dates. As the State fair premium list will be out about one month pre- vious to the holding of the Northern Arizona Fair it is believed that con- siderable publicity will be gained for the local event. He also promises to give the southern horsemen all the information available regarding the races to be held thus assisting sin every way possible in making the Northern Arizona Fair a greater sue cess than ever before.

PROJECTED ROAD IS
 FAVORABLY DISCUSSED
lFrom Wednesdars DailyO

AIIOIu W tNltSNdH DdlH.D
 Paving the way for a new scenic roadway through the Point of Rocks to tap the experimental farm of the State. as well as other land interests adjacent, was the motive of several officials and citizens on Sunday in making a preliminary reconnaissance of the route recommended. Among the party were State Engineer Lamar Cobb, Prof. McOmie, of the agricul- tural department of the university; Superintendent Bates, of the expert mental farm; State Division Engineer F. R. Goodman; Chairman Stephens, of the board of supervisors; Chief Engineer J. A. Jaeger, of the S. F., P. & P. railroad; Earl H. Parker. a railroad engineer; w. P. Bidgood. secretary of the Arizona Land and Irrigation Co.,; Mir. Nichols, E. H.. Meek. A. H. Powers and others.
 Careful observations were made, and it was the opinion of all that this strip of but one mile in length would outclass the famous Garden of the Gods of Colorado for beauty and popularity. A general discussion was had later at the experimental farm, when MT. Cobb, in speaking for the State, made the proposition that as much money would be expended on the state highway in Yavapai county this year as would be required to build this roadway This expression met with the approval of all and had the effect of stimulating those inter ested to act henceforth in a concerted and diligent manner toward realizing their object.
 Mir. Goodman made observations some months ago of this proposed route, and he estimates the maximum cost of construction would not ex- ceed $4000. Supporters of this road movement contend that in addition to a new farming community being reached, the distance to Jerome Juno ton will be reduced over two miles, and an air line route established that will be the future playground of the city with rural interests also cared for in material manner. This project is also supported for the reason that it is probable next spring the present roadway via the Wynkoop ranch will be shut out when the Willow creek dam is built by the Arizona Land & Irrigation Co.,, and a new roadway to the west of over one mile will be required.

 Mir. Bradley several months ago made an exhaustive examination of underground conditions in the old workings, and recently moved to the camp to personally assume charge, under what IS stated to be an option to purchase. The Lincoln. at any rate, seems to face a good future. and the plan of operating will be practically carried out. This proper ty many years ago, was successfully worked, has a mill on the ground, and with other advantages is favor ably situated.

 The deceased was in charge of con struction of the Edison Electric Company, of Los Angeles, and it is presumed fell into that stream while it was raging after a cloudburst. His body was not recovered until three weeks after he was missed. although scores of people were on the hunt. His funeral took place in Los An geles last Monday.
 Local interest attaches to the death of Mir.

K. Hotaling, Doc" Smith and Andrew Curtin This CO partnership was familarly known as the Big Bradshaw Four" from their popularity and the success they made of mining. They sold the above mine for $60,000 to Hobart & Hayward, of San Francisco, and this sum was paid in cash on the dump Mir Buttrick was man of remarkable personality and had not an enemy during his residence in this county. From the largest to the smallest transaction he was upright with all, and his friends here who remain pay his memory a tribute by saying he was one of the most exceptional of men in his con scientious relations with others, no matter what the occasion might have been.

CFrOm IhursGayfe Dally.) PHOENIX. Aug. A. That there will be a State fair this year and a better one than ever at that, is the answer Of T. D. Shaughnessy, secre- tary of the fair commission, to the rumor that has gained circulation in the city to the effect that the State fair might be called off this year. Mir. Shaughnessy has just returned from Bisbee where he consulted with | J. R. Henderson, chairman of the fair commission relative to matters connected with this years fair The premium list for 1915 is now in the hands of the printer and will be issued in the near future.
 The speed program and entry lists are about ready for circulation and prospects were never better for a big fair The dates have been fixed to follow the fall race meeting at San Francisco, ending November 13 and as all the best stables are expected to attend this meeting, they will stop at Phoenix on their way east as this point Is the last place where racing will be held this year.
 The fact that the greatest race meeting of the season is to be held at the San Francisco exposition just prior to the Arizona state fair in sures the attendance here of the fast eastern horses.
 While it has been necessary to make reductions in the premiums of fered in all departments, there are a great many special prizes offered by local merchants, stock registry asso- citations and manufacturers, so that the same inducements are offered this year as in the past to encourage good exhibits in all departments.
 The Better Babies contest will be feature again this year. This de- partment was such success last year that accommodations were hard to obtain, two large tents being press ed into service for this purpose. A new addition to the woman's building will be constructed this year and re- served especially for the baby show.

DRY FARM ROAD IS
 PRACTICALLY ASSURED
CFrom Fridays Daily.)


 Governor Hunt has come through. Such was the opinion of the mem bers of the Chamber Of Commerce who attended the weekly meeting last night. From all indications the road through the Dells shortening the loop road and connecting up with the dry farm will be built in a short time.
 Letters were started on their way to the State executive and State kn- eineer Lamar Cobb in an effort to speed up the building of the road and at the same time commenting the governor on his action in notifying Cobb that a road had to be built to the dry farm in Yavapai county.
 According to Harry Heap who brought the matter to a head last night the construction will not cost the county a cent and will be built with State funds. Cobb just recent lv stated that he had been told by the governor to build the road and at the expense of the State.
 Cobb at present has no funds avail able to do the work which 1t IS esti- mated will cost about $5000, but the money will be raised locally to con struct the road immediately and in four or five months 1t will be paid for from State road funds.
 It had been intended to construct the road as a stub from the main loop road but this is not considered ad- visable owing to the fact that if the Willow creek project goes ahead the loop road would have to be built through the Dells. According to in dications now the road will be built through one of the most scenic won ders of the county and after the two dams are completed will run between them. + will be but three miles long and will shorten the present loop road.
 Ed Meek is vitally interested in the buildino of the road and he with the road committee were selected to take up the matter.
 The State road fund amounts to $250000 and each county IS given its share according to its assessed valu- ation. Yavapai received S30OOO and this was again split between the coun- ty and State Engineer Cobb, the county getting 75 percent and Cobb the other 25 percent which he is to use in engineering work and for the expenses of his office This county spent its portion on the Cherry creek highway and at present the county road funds are exhausted. When Cobb's 25 percent is available which Is expected to be within few months the money loaned to build the new portion of the loop which will run past the dry farm will be re- paid
 The matter of having assessments on town lots reduced, which was taken up at the last regular meeting, again came up and was reported up on by F. s. Clark through President H. D. Aitken. Aitken said Clark had received letters from business men in regard to the reduction of the tax es and they had been forwarded to the State Tax Commission.
 The report Of the advertising com mittee which recommended that the Chamber of Commerce advertise the mining properties of the county in mining and financial journals was ac- cepted. The chamber at present has long list of different mining prop critics which are either for sale or open for development.
