 what l have seen since coming here" said Dr. Stewart yesterday after noon. 'I feel that all that has been told me and all that MT. Greene has written me about the Salt River val ley is the truth. If Phoenix .would only build on some of it's vacant properties I think it would be one of the finest little cities I have ever been privileged to visit.
 It's warm here, but somehow l don't seem to mind the heat here as would back home. It seems diff ferent ana is not at all unbearable, hardly uncomfortable I liked Phoenix better the second day I was here than on the first and on the third day I liked it better than on the second. If it keeps on that way 1 might decide to locate here"
 Dr Stewart has spent no small part of the short time he has been renewing acquaintances with Mrs. J. NJ Clinton who with her husband he knew in the east. MT. and Mrs. Clinton were for years actively en- gagged in furthering the interests of Y. NJ. C. A work in China and Japan. Mrs. Clinton is the daugh- ter of MT and Mrs. John R.
