 J. B. Cook The Tempe man refused to make d speech, but he showed his good will to the cause by uttering few thoughts. Increase ir population. the division of big ranch holdings and the intensive cultivation of this valley that must surely follow those two things, would make it profitable for a road to build here. And naturally. those three things would result from such a road. Sort of complete cir clc minus any loose ends. he said. but one end might be found. He of fcred a piece of crowbar, in the shape of some coin. that the loose end might be rricd up And if the line comes through Tempe. he said. the Pacific Creamery would offer a still bisser fund.
 Frank S. Viele
 He talked like a man with a lot on his system and he certainly got it off Commented on the rcpresentativeuess of those present. Called them-in- cluding himself-thc common people. and told them in no uncertain terms how they had blindly passed laws that frightened capital Put up signs at the state lines, warning the moneyed man to beat it. or get hooked.
 Thc best thing of the many good things Nicle said was:
 Tt will take Wall street money to build our main line. Europe is going tF . f. over and part of that money is being stored up in Wall street right now.

 Phoenix adds 100 miles to the jour i ncy and passes up not only the rich | mining belts. the uneXplored but as surcdiv rich lands near the Mexican | border. but the 2OO-mile straight shoot from Aio to salt water at Port | Lobos. Gasgt

You ak about bonus, and you mean but the best bonus you could ,ffer to road, would be to assure t of safety first.
