of the output which is used outside of the valley.
 In 1914, 1.775 cars of live stock alone were hauled from Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Glendale, Chandler and other points in the Valley. Out of every 100 cars of live stock 75 are carloads of cattle, 14 are carloads of hogs and F are carloads of sheep. It requires over 100 cars to handle the wool clip. Each year approxi- mately half a million sheep are shear ed at points in or adjacent to the valley and the average clip weighs eight pounds.
 Allowing 10000 pounds to the car. gives minimum of 100 cars for this product alone.
 Some months the shipments of hay run into very large totals. One record shows 428 cars of alfalfa hay shipped in 4 days. One shipper had at the time an order for ten cars a dayfor F days. As many as 2,750 cars of hay have been shipped in one year. In 1913, 800 cars were required for melons and cantaloupes with 90 cars for sugar and 20 for syrup. As high as 60 cars of honey have been shipped from the valley in one season and 625 carloads of grain and seed, the bulk of this being alfalfa seed. has been shipped out in one year. When we look at the shipments of live stock for 1913 we find that the total was nearly 2.00O cars and the figures for the shipments of cattle from the entire state are astounding. Arizona received $15,O00,O00 for the cattle shipped out of the state in 1914. Allowing 53,00O as the average value of a carload of cattle we find that it will require over 5000 cars to handle the cattle shipment from the state in a single year. If we also add hogs. sheep and wool the figures will still further considerably increase. The state has at present 1,600.000 sheep and the number is growing rapidly each year. The wool clip from the entire state should reach 13,000. 900 pounds which will require a great number of cars to handle to advantage.

Los Angeles to Phoenix and Fl Paso to Phoenix races. The maker of ev- cry winning car. the tires used on the winning ear. the oil used in the winning car and other accessories used in the winning ear spends thousands of dollars advertising these facts in display ads in various ma gazines throughout the country. Ev- cry one of these display ads has the name Phoenix Arizona In ad- dition to this. articles are written on the races for all prominent mo- ter magazines and reach thousands of readers It is safe to say that for Phoenix to obtain the same amount of publicity at advertising rates would cost her far to exceed one hundred thousand dollars.
 The race also advertises the fact through the publicity given it that there are travelled route through Arizona that are feasible and easy to the motorist. This is in itself of considerable advantage to the route over which the race passes. There is on an average of five thousand cars a year that travel from the East or some portions of the middle West to the Pacific coast. The occupants of each one of these cars must necessarily spend from twenty to twenty-five sdol- lars day on their journey and they naturally seek the route which is easy. When a route is advertised throughout the United States as hav- ing been traversed between Fl Paso and Phoenix and between Phoenix and California in a matter of from sixteen to eighteen hours, the mo- torist's attention is called to it and

but each month sees considerable ac-
 tiVity. We have a record of over
 2,000 cars of cantaIoupes, alfalfa hay,
 fruits, honey and grains shipped in
 a single month. The introduction of sugar cane will considerably increase
 the carload shipments of sugar. The growing demand for Salt River Valley vegetables will call for a larger acre. age each year, which, in turn, will require more train loads of cars to deliver to the different markets. Early lettuce, cabbage and cauliflOwer all must be put on the market in first class condition, and as the true value of the Salt River Valley product is appreciated by the American pub lie the calls for these vegeta a5les will increase enormously.
 Phoenix has no main line railroa1
 but the enormous tonnage which the valley affords will be inducement enough to insure the building of 9
 main line of railroad in the very near future. There is room for more than one main line, and the advan- taGe which a line through the Salt IIver Valley affords can not he long overlooked or neglected by prom
 inent railroad men in the country.
 Through the Salt River Valley 1 line of railroad can be built which will connect with the lowest grade transcontinental line in the country.
 The enormous amounts which rail- roads are spending to eliminate curves and steep grades are not invested i without good reason, and as soon as engineers realize the enormous say | ing that would follow the cOnstruc- 1 tion of the low line roa through the
 Salt River Valley the work will com
 mence. It can be looked for al any time, there will always remain the added incentive which IS pres .nted by the valley with it's enormous tonnage of out going products. We need to say nOthing of the shipments
 to the valley which are also i'm | p0rtamt.
 In considering the figures which
 have been. presented for shipments
 out of the valley it must be borne in mind that today approximately 1S0,0OO acres of land, in all, are in cultivation. Under the project there will be eventually 220OOO acres with the addition of about 8O,OOO acres in private projects adjoining and in ad- dition to the Salt River project. Further. at present throughout the valley there are many large holdings which will within the next few years Abe reduced and adapted to more intensive cultivation. It is intensive farming that interests the railroad people. At the lowest possible esti mate the lands under intensive culti- vation will double the volume of farm products of all kindds that will be shipped by rail to outside points. and when the added area is also taken i into consideration the shipments from this section will total enormous fig
 ures Not allowing for any special i crops which undoubtedly will be in- troduced and which will add con- siderably to any estimate of car ! load shipments it is safe to say that within five years the volume of bus 1 mess going out of the Salt River valley should reach 35,OOO carloads
 year.

The Salt River Valley with Phoe- nix it's center is a motorists play ground with a wide field for action. Motoring more than any sport today constantly delights the performers and the varied objectives that a few hours ride from Phoenix per mits offers an intending joy to the lovers of this sport. But a few years ago our radius for a days outing was limited by the horse 60 a few miles. The mountains on either side were a long way off and a ride to the Hole in- the Rock was an all day affair. Today a few explosions of our motor and we are looking into Paradise Valley or purr- ing toward Granite Reef and our sphere of vision has enlarged so profoundly that the protecting mountains about our valley no longer shut off the wonders beyond.
 We have right at hand, however and almost within our own irrigated valley, motor trips that are unsur
 passed for variety and view. Every Phoenix motorist should take the run to the Max Delta gold mine ten miles southwest from town The road leads south on Central avenue through green fields of alfalfa and grain, slowly rising to the western canal, the southern boundry of cul- tivation, and into the desert road beyond that winds itself ont of view from the city back of the foothills that guard the Salt river mountains. Through dry washes sentineled by si- lent Sahuaras over low hills blOs
 soming with wild flowers in the spring the road continues higher and higher until the mine camp is reached and at hand the valley be- low is sighted through a niche ir the mountains and the city crowded in on every side by the soft fields yields itself to view.

PE1oer1ix Is Road Race Classic Center

Road race classics such as the Los Angeles to Phoenix, the Fl Paso to Phoenix and the Los Angeles to san Francisco races serve d triple pur- pose. all three of which in the main are based upon publicity. They serve to advertise the endurance of the various makes of machines com petinE: also to advertise the route that the race traverses and to ad- Vertise the particular towns in which the race starts. traverses and fin ishes.
 It is true that these races re quire the expenditure of a consider able amount of money the greate. part of which is used up in the purses to attract prominent cars and drivers. but the return is four fold; in the shape of the publicity given to the towns participating in the event and especially in the town where the race finishes. An event of this kind gives such a town a publicity that no money can pur- chase
 The Los Angeles to Phoenix and Fl Paso to Phoenix races have been of incalcuable benefit from an ad- vertising standpoint to Phoenix
 Two years ago, as a matter of curiosity, I had compiled clippings from the newspapers of articles on the Los Angeles to Phoenix race, clippings being from the Pacific coast papers alone. The clippings fastened together would have ex- tended over two thousand feet and every article had the name Phoe- nix Arizona in it's headlines.

But auto racing is d clean sport and has never yet been tainted with a sus- picion of crookedness or foul play.

MT. Grey Declares that It Made Him Mad' When some One Was AL ways "Bobbing up and Trying

Little Rock, Jan. 23.-The House has again gone on record most en- phatlcally against any movement to cut down local legislation. A resolu- ton to this end was introduced Fri day afternoon by Representative Dowdy of Independence County, and his colleague, MT. Grey, was one of the most impassioned opponents of the proposition, declaring that "it made him made" when some one was lall the time "bobbing up and trying to throttle the will of the people," MT. Dowdy's resolution was tabled. It was as follows: Be it resolved by the House of Representative of the Gen eral Assembly of Arkansas, That the Judiciary Committee of this House, is hereby requested to draft such gen. eral laws as the Constitution will per init, authorizing Chancery or other | Courts in the various Counties of this State to create and abolish by peti- tion and local option such fencing dis tricts, drainage districts, special districts, levee districts and covering such other matters as have become the subject of frequent Legislation and they are requested to draft such amendments to the present laws cov- ering said subjects as will make fur ! her Legislation be local bills unneces- sary.

HOPES ABANDONED FOR
 SECURING COACH BEZDEk

All hopes for securing the return of Hugo Bezdek to Arkansas as the coach of athletics for the University of Arkansas may well be abandoned, for this great instructor in athletics has signed an agreement to remain at the University of Oregon for another three years. The University of Ore gon is given an option upon the ser vices of the coach for five years. This means that Arkansas must look else where for coaching material for 1916.
 Coach Bezdek was anxious to re turn to Arkansas in the fall, but he has patched up his differences with the heads of Oregon institution, and having splendid material from which to draw, as we'll as ample facilities to develop it, Bezdek did not care to return to Arkansas and content himself with the primitive equipnnt provided for his department III the states leading institution of learning

Little Rock, Jan. 23-The House spent the entire afternoon Friday in the discussion of the Cazort bill to re- peal the mine-r-un law in so far as it applies to Johnson county, except Grant township, and certain town ships in Logan county. This is the bill that comes up in practically every session of the Legislature, and has made or unmade the political reputa- tion of many aspiring politicians. It drew the first of more oratory than anything else this session and was f. nally passed by vote of 59 to %. There was spirited forensic clash be- tween Johnson of Sebastian, oppos- ing the bill and Cazort, supporting it. The Sebastian delegation divided, Johnson and Crump voting against the bill and Woods for it. Dipboye and Dowdy made strong arguments for the bill, and Dowdy had the floor at the time for adjournment, yielding for the roll call.

RATE REFUND CASES
 SOON MAY BE ENDED
Six Years of Litigation May Be Ter minated in Compromise. No De- finite Proposition Has Been
 Made by Railroads.

After more than six years of litiga- ton, there is prospect of compro mise settlement in the Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt refund cases which are pending in the United States Dis trict Court. The exceptions filed to the report of Special Mastr J. G. Wal lace were to have been heard yesterday by Judge Jacob Trieber, but the hear ing was postponed to allow a contin- uation of negotiations for a compro- mise between shippers representatives and the railroads.
 No definite proposition has been made by the railroads as to what part of the claims of shippers or passengers they will pay, nor have the shippers made any statement as to what they will be willing to accept, it is said. The representatives of the railroads have indicated they desire to compro- mise, it is said, if an agreement can be reached. It is thought the railroads will agree to pay approximately 50 per cent of the amounts of the claims.
 In the negotiations which have been going on for two or three days, Alex Robertson, assistant to President B. F. Bush of the Missouri Pacifc-Iron Mountain; Edward w. White, general attorney for that road, and s. H. West general attorney for the Cotton Belt, are representing the railroads, and Judge Joseph NJ. Hill, R. P. Allen, A. R.
