BACK COUNTRY
 BADLY NEEDED
Observations of An Official of Western Union on the Value of Arizona to Los Angeles After Tour of the State

Hugh McPhee, district commercial agent of the Western Union Telegraph company. lately returned to Los An geles from tour of Arizona What he told of the possibilities of this country must have been surprising to many of the tOwnsmen. The plan he made was that Los Angeles needed Arizona if it was to allow full measure of greatness and if Los An geles harbor was to become an i'm pOrtant port. MT. McPhees interview in the Los Angeles Times follows: When Hugh McPhee returned to
 Los Angeles yesterday from trip through Arizona in his capacity as district commercial superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph com pany with headquarters in this city, he felt inspired to call upon California to make of all Arizona a back coun- try for Los Angeles and the Los An geles harbor.
 It is the McPhee idea that no city ever had too much back country and that nothing else makes the greatness of a harbor.
 6 that it can afford to eat itself up, and Los Angeles needs not so much an in creased population as it needs to place farmers upon all the rich land in this part of the southwest, which is so prolific and adaptable to all kinds of culture.
 If our people did this" he says, the growth of the city would take care of itself. The logical result would be more railroad terminals for Los Angeles and it's harbor, packing plants, wholesale houses, machine
 shops, a bigger pay roll and, of course,
 more people and more homes. Our growth would then be a necessity and the supply would be certain. The ac- | crued values of our real estate would avoid becoming fictitious. They
 would be creative in the last an- alysis.'
 | MT. McPhee's trip convinced him of | another important fact, which is that ! nobody can truly see Arizona by | looking out of the Pullman car win l dow along the railroad track When l he reached Tucson upon the annual | inspection of this portion of his dis

and Phoenix is making a campaign to raise funds sufficient to place that institution on a firm financial foot ing. There is no reason why the plan should not furnish local users of cement with every pound needed in the construction of buildings. bridges, and every other utility in which ce- ment is used. Contractors, munich palities and farmers are patrons of the cement industry, and so long as a good quality of this material can be manufactured at home and sold for the same price as charged by the ce- ment trust, there is no reason why money paid out should not be paid to the home concern. The managers of the cement factory are now offering operating certificates to the public, the sale of which will supply funds for the necessary enlargement and improvement of the plant. The pur chase of these certificates will hasten the establishment of an industry that, during it's short experimental life, saved thousands of dollars to the cement users of this section.
