MESA CONSIDERED BEST LOCATION IN VALLEY FUR BUSINESS, SHIPPING, FARM PRODUCTION.
 AND FUR FIRST CLASS L|v|NGCOND|T|ONS

Mesa, the second city in size in the Salt River valley claimed by her residents to be the first in enterprise in shipments of agricultural products and in that ndefna be spirit of cooperation that builds great cities has en- tered upon what her czeny believes to be period of the most rapid growth the greatest prosperity and the greatest period of public improvement in her history
 Founded by a colony of the L. D. S. church, who had the enterprise not only to leave their homes in Utah and travel across the desert to the center of this valley but the good to investigate and discover the old Aztec canal has had steady growth that of late has increased it's speed until the most sangune of her boosters are beginning to be asonshed great their belief in their city
 Following is brief resume by the secretary of the Commercial club of what Mesa thinks of herself:

 TO BUILD BEAUTIFUL NEW TEMPLE AT MESA

Pointing out why Mesa should have temple of the Latter Day Saints what the significance of temples and temple work is in the L. D. S. faith J. w. Iesueur of the big business of Mesa and president of the Mari copa Stake in the article below points out in full what the building of the proposed $50O,OO0 temple signifies.
 Not only what the temple means to those of the faith but what its construction will to the valley in thus becoming host to thousands of persons annually who would make the pilgrimages here from all parts of the southwest is pointed out in this clearcut explanation of the purpose of this movement.
 Members of the LIDS. church will read MT. Lesueurs S statement with satisfaction and those of other faiths with interest and in the points of doubted advantage to the city of Mesa and the valley in general almost everyone will agree with him.

mesa. The rest of the company arrived Feb. IA, 1879, and work was started on the irrigating canal
 One feature that had determined the lSaders of the new colony was the fact that the remains of an ancient canal were found, leading out of the river 10 the very land on which the settlement was to be placed. The canal was cleaned out and deepened, and the gradients of the ancient engineers were proven good. At the time it was es- timated that utilization of this old old canal had saved the Mormons at least 10000 dollars in the cost of ex cavation. Mesa soon outstripped her older neighbor, 0ehi), which today is a village Mesa is now the secsnd town in the Salt River valley, in the midst of one of the richest and most carefully cultivated sections of the val ley.
 "A part of the present Mormon pop ulation originally settled at Tempe. but
 later moved on lands west of Mesa. The Mormon element in Mesa now probably numbers less than half of the population, and though still strong in the faith, no longer forms a concrete community a4A
 For many years Mesa ranked as the richest colony of the church. and from it have gone many missionaries and considerable number of pioneer ing bodies into Mexico and various southwestern sections"
Arizona republican., 1919-09-19

a resolution to lay sidewalks was passed with a large majority The sidewalks will be completed before the winter has set in
 That is the way Mesa residents like to do things.
 Neglecting nothing and least of the educational side of civic life, we are now adding a s100,0O0 improvement to the Mesa Union High school When completed it will be the most up-to- date school in the valley. It now has four year courses in the leading sub Jects with admittance D any university in the United States. The enrolment for last year was about $50 and is ex- pected to be much more than that this year In the primary grades there are about 1,200 enrolled, with no facilities lacking to take care of them. Our school system is indeed quite all we expected it to be. However you will find the school trustees ever on the alert to correct things at fault or add to the equipment to make schooling q pleasante rtask
 Lower Insurance
 Insurance rates in Mesa for business firms have been rather high LID to the present time, but with the addition of an entirely new fire equipment. sin- cluding an .s11e0o engine. s4,000 worth of hose, new firehall. and an enef- getic and competent fire chief itjs expected that a new survey of fire faz ard by the insurance companies wiil reduce the rate considerably Tho new fire equipment was acquired chiefly for the cotton gins which run steadily here from the middle of Sen tember until the last of February.
 Ginning this year started two week earlier than did last year due to an early season of the cotton crop. Tho Mesa cotton crop bids fair to be one oc the best in recent years. Valuation placed on it by cotton experts amounts to about s6.00o, 900. This ia for the Mesa district alone and explains in part the prosperity of this section.
 Land values in the Mesa district have taken an upward trend in the last four months It is not extraordinarv for land to sell here for s45O to $500 .an acre. Of course this is land with ex- ceptional location and very good soil While to the old resident and unposted newcomer this appears to be rather high for the type of land sold. when one considers the net revenue from .art acre of ground when farmed right, il 1. is not at all high. and in fact is ex- pected to go somewhat higher. s-s V

Mesa Wonderful Business Center (By R. F. Lush, Secretary Mesa Commercial Club )

Good business finds it's place in every locality Good business seeks good field in order to remain a business of the first order. In seeking fields for operation commerce thinks like gen eral, in strategic terms. Location in regard to all the aspects which go to make up commercial success must be thought of. and carefully planned.
 The city of Mesa, fortunately or by plan. is now situated in what might be termed the master business location the east are the great mining regions Of Arizona, mining more copper than any other section of its size in the world. This great industrial section growing scarcely anything itself is tributary 10 the city Of Mesa and calls upon this city for it's products. Great. cattle ranges extending for miles over the lower mountains use Mesa as 8 shipping point for sheep and cattle. Many small villages and COW centers use Mesa as their shopping headquarters. Located closer in to the city are the irrigated lands which are the richest of the valley and up to' the present time command the highest price per acre of any land in the state of Arizona. Again Mesa is well situ- ated in regard to railroad facilities which makes possible the branches oi the Mesa Milling company, and other firms doing business here of a nature calling for the best in transportation.
 Courtesy the Custom.
 However. and after all, it is the opin- ion of the Mesa merchants and the ma jority of the citizens of Mesa that bus mess success and desirability of liv- ing conditions are subject finally and at last to the business courtesy we show, the progressivenes we indicate in what we do the improvements we give to our city with the least possible expense, and the personal initiative shown by every member of every firm in the city.
 Mesa's business district is paved throughout with the highest class paw ing that can be laid on a public street The streets are 100 feet wide from curb to curb, cars are parked in the middle which does away with undue congestion during the busy hours oi the day. Paving is recognized as ont of the assets of a successful city and resident streets are now included in the order to pave. In conjunction with the improvement act of 1912 the entire city of Mesa was placed in one district and

The story of the foundation of Mesa by the l.. D. &, as given by Col. James s. McClintock in his history of Ari- zona, is story of pioneering of the most courageous sort.

The journey was made with little hardship. except from cold weather, and the party arrived without particular incident at a point northeast of Camp Verde. Thence a committee went southward to look up site for permanent settlement. lone vile LehD was visited by the com mittee, but unable to come to terms with Jones 1t was induced to look into the possibilities of farming on nearby
