 Articles on Chandler contributed by Dr A. J. Chandler will Ii. Robinson and C. T. Pea body Dr. Chandler wrote on the value of feeding alfaffa instead selling the hay. His article was timely and to the point MT Robinson discussed the wonders found by the winter tourists in Ari- zona, aEd stated that the Marcos was the largest tourist hotel in the state

 The first year or Chandlcr's growth the total amount of business transacted by the merchants amounted to $f3.000- Onry three years Iater from May l, 1914, c May l. l915 in spite of the financial depression in other parts o the United States. mercantile business of the town amounted to more. than $3ll0o1- While tbc business by the local hotel more than doubled over the preceding year.

my opinion either timber Hume ex- tending upstream from the damsite for about one mile or a coffer dam at the old dam site. Either of these meth ods would require an immediate outlay of from $6.OOO to $12.OOO.
 Tn order to properly construct the dam and head works, with concrete core to dam and tunnel through the hill to head gates, it would be impos- sihle to estimate at this time a smaller sum than $150,0OO.
 For reasons already outlined. the people of the community are absolutely unable to cope with this situation with out outside assistance.
 In this connection wish also to call NoUr attention to the necessity for law providing for the regulation and control of all water power and irriga- ton projects by proper state officers"
 The constitution probably prohibits an actual donation but there is noth- ing that would prohibit the form of re- lief suggested in the report.
