outdoor suits and dresses. AS for
the fellows, Palm Beaches are going

the latest hues and silk shirts
in fancy stripes, Panama hats and
what not-all brand new. 1t is
pleasure and delight to the eye to
look over these offerings.
Down at Henry Loeb"s big cloth
ing emporium on the front, Julius
Blum and Rucker Gray are taking
advantage of every spare moment to
straighten out the new goods coming
in and shoppers crowd the big store
throughout the day. Mr. Loeb says
that his spring sales this year are

he has been in business. and that is
not since yesterday This store is
the home of Hart Schaffner & Marx

Benefits of Water Storage

The blessings of water storage
for irrigation have been exemplified
in the Salt River Valley the past
year. The Salt River Project has
furnished water for 2O3,616 acres,
and the crop report for the year in
dicates a production on the farms
of not less than $18, ,000,0 in adj
dition to livestock production of
comparable value. OF the irrigation
water supplied to the farms this
year, little more than IS per cent
| had been conserved from loss by
storage in the Roosevelt Reservoir
and a little over 90 per cent had
been stored in the reservoir since
1915. Without the reservoir, not
more than one-half of the above
acres could have received any water
, at all, the yields would have been
not over one-fourth of it's value as
given above. The past two years
have been drought years and from
Texas to Oregon the water shortage
has been felt keenly, but in the
Salt River Valley there was no
shortage, each farmer decided how
much water he wanted and when
he wanted it, put in his order, and
the zanjeros delivered it at once.
In this valley, as we'll as in the
Yuma Valley, the total cost of con-
struction of the projects assessed by
the Reclamation Service upon the
land owners has been exceeded by.
the new wealth thereby created dur
ing the present year alone. No
governmental undertaking, state or
| federal, at the present time offers so
great returns as the reclamation of
arid lands under projects similar to
those of the Salt River and Yuma
valleys.
Arizona has extensive bodies of
agricultural LAM which can be wa
tered by means Of storage projects.
There are excellent reservoir sites
on the Colorado, Little Colorado,
Verde, San Pedro and Gila rivers,
which should be utilized, and will
be at some future time.

Secretary Wilssn Of the Depart

The present period of readjust-

before us from eight to ten years
of industrial activity equal to any
wave of prosperity we ever have
had. But if there is any serious
, unemployment, there will be a
period of industrial unrest which
may lead us to a repetition Of the
French or the Russian revolution. "

ment of the Interior says:

against the floods of the ella River

River Control in Arizona

Action was taken in the closing
hours of Congress that will be of
most vital and far reaching benefit
to Arizona, and make it the first
state where a great national dem
onstration will be made of the stu
pendons benefits that will result
from the adoption of the Newlands
River Regulation plan for flood
control and the regulation of the
flow of rivers by standardizing that
flow Throughout the year, preventing
flood devastation and removing the
silt which is now menace to res
ervoir construction.
The now celebrated Olmsted Re
port on the Gila River has been
ordered printed as a public docu-
ment, with all its wonderful maps
and diagrams and illustrations,
and will now become the basis Tor
a campaign to secure the appro-
priations recommended therein, a
mounting to about six million dol
lars, for doing the necessary con-
s4ruction work on the watersheds
to completely control the floods
and so regulate the flow Of the
ella River that it will come out of
the canyon at Florence in all or
binary years with standardized
flow throughout the year, and
clear of. silt All damage by floods
will be prevented.
This splendid result has been
accomplished through the most Wig
orous team work by the Governor
and both Arizona Senators and
citizens interested, and George H.
Maxwell, acting for the National
Reclamation Association. Some
two weeks ago the necessity for
prompt action by Congress, be-
came apparent. Governor Camp
bell took the matter up by wire
with Secretary Lane, asking the
Secretary to send the original Ohm
sted report to him, the report be-
ing then on file in the Depart
ment. The secretary promptly
complied with the Governor re-
quest. Then the Governor secur-
ed the cooperation of Engineer
Olmsted, who came to Phoenix
from Los Angles for a conference
as to strengthening the report with
reference to the San Carlos Dam
project. This being done, the
Governor sent the reports to Wash
ington by his special messenger
Judge Lewis.
Arrangement we're made by wire
for Judge Lewis, to meet Senator
Ashurst as soon as he reached
Washington, and the Senator and
Judge Lewis delivered the report
personally to Secretary Lane last
Sunday evening, and were assured
of his desire to do everything pos
sib1e to expedite the printing of

tary at eleven O'Clock Monday
