prolonged" states President F. A. as to the possibilities of growing high grade cotton in the Salt River Valley of Arizona. Because Of the difficulty of obtaining a supply direct from Egypt, due to the dis turbance in transportation, and the ravages of the bool weevil on our crop of Sea Island cotton in this country, we purchased 26,O00 acres of desert land near Phoenix and Mesa, Ari- zona. After reclaiming a tract of 5000 acres, we planted it to the finest grade of Egyptian cotton.
 This is the kind of cotton which is best suited to the manufacture of automobile tires. The first crop from this tract is now being harvest ed and shows a very high quality and a satisfactory yield. We are working out plans to plant 14,000 ad ditional acres next spring, so that fully 10000 acres will be under culti- vation next season. The water sup ply which permits the irrigation of this land comes from the famous Roosevelt dam.
 The Goodyear achievement has greatly stimulated the development of the Salt River Valley, and it is expected that fully 100000 acres of cotton will be put out the coming year. One expectation as to yield for next year is a bale to the acre.
 Much more care is necessary in handling long staple cotton than in dealing with the ordinary grades. The process of ginning is also costly. for if takes DracticallV four times as long to remove the seeds and pods. We have erected several ginning mills and seed mill in the valley and will produce cottonseed oil and oil cake from the cotton seeds"

PHOENIX PLEASES
 SAN DIEGO ANGEL

Mrs o B. Chambers, matron of the county jail at San Diego, thinks that Phoenix men are Real men and not imitations.' and that real Ari- zonians are keen and clever This impression is so strong i'll her nina that the "Anger' of the San Diego jail writes to friends in this city, I have a great notion to go right back to Phoenix and stay"
 For the first time in 17 years Mrs. Chambers visited Phoenix about one week ago, coming here with requisi- tion papers for the eXtradition of Mrs. Hazel Kennedy, wanted in San Diego on charges of passing worthless checks. During the two days she remained i'll this city, Mrs. Chambers met Gov ernor Campbell and various city. county and state officials. She also spent an afternoon at the state fair. Just before leaving with her prisoner Mrs. Chambers was presented with a handsome bouquet of roses, picked from the capitol gardens and sent to her by Malcolm Fraser, secretary to the governor. For this and many other attentions, Mrs. Kennedy eX- pressed her fullest appreciation.
 Writing from San Diego to further express her gratitude for the atten- tion shown her here, Mrs. Chambers states that she arrived with her pris- oner without accident or incident. Mrs. Kennedy's relatives have rallied to her call and are giving her every assistance within their power. Mrs. Kennedy was given her preliminary hearing last Saturday and was held to the superior court. In default of sl,00O bail she was remanded to the custody of the sheriff
 Mrs. Chambers says in her letter that since the preliminary, she has kept Mrs. Kennedy with her in her apartments and she seems to be gain ing in flesh and is more hopeful in spirit. Tt is easy to see what a nice girl she must have been before she fell victim to Sam Kennedy's wiles, '' says Mrs. Chambers.
 Mrs. Chambers concludes her letter with more thanks for the courtesies shown her here.

 GETS PUBLICITY

That Arizona in general and the Salt River valley in particular are receiv- ing excellent publicity through the phenomenal long staple cotton produc- tion in this valley is again evidenced by the following from the Wall Street Journal, New York City, of recent date:
 Boston-Among the lessons which the war has taught American manu lecturers, the need of protection of future supplies of raw materials is one that is appealing as strongly as any other And just how far this is Appreciated by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company is shown by that company's enterprise in an attempt to work out it's own protection in the matter of future cotton supply. This company is the largest consumer of long staple cotton in the world.

''The Old Man of the Mountain,'' an Immense mountainside boulder that nature molded to resemble a human face, has been blown clean off the map of Montana and it took the largest blast of explosive ever set off in that state to accomplish the feat.
 This freakish bit of rock formation was located on the Southern Montana railroad, six miles from Divide, where the road joins the Oregon Short Line. The latter road is being built by the Boston and Montana Development company, and it was to make way for the necessary improvements that "The Old Man of the Mountain was sacri- feed.
