COTTON CENTER OF PHOENIX PRESENTS < VERY BUSY APPEARANCE TO VISITORS,
 SEASON AT HEICHTH MAKES MUCH WORK

One of the most important districts of Phoenix is probably the least known section of this city where product worth millions handled every year, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been invested in expensive chnery and extensive buildings and where men who look to future for the valley undreamed of few years ago. located in the southeastern section of the municipality
 In that district cotton is indeed king Men think cot ton talk cotton and plan golden future Their plants running night and day. Thousands of bales of cotton pass through the gins every few days Barrels of oil by the thousand produced and cotton seed cake claimed to be the best cattle feed in the world is produced in quantities.

GINS EVER BUSY TURNING OUT RICH
 CROPS IF WILEY

It takes a man with a large bore mind, a motion picture camera and large sized note book 10 keep track of the various activities of the Phoenix plant of the Southwest Cotton com pany.
 The big plant is located in the heart of the cotton milling district at the foot of Fifth, Sixth and Seventh streets. The activities of the organization maintained are beyond estimation. Raw cotton from the great ranches main tained by the Southwest Cotton com pany is brought here for ginning. Not only is the cotton turned out. but the seed from which cotton seed oil is made is turned out by the ton. Cot ton from ranches other than those controlled by the Southwest people is also handled.
 A twenty stand cotton gin is no small enterprise. Employees by the score are necessary to keep it going night and day and highly organized office force is necessary to keep things running smoothly.
 The oil capacity of the plant is be- ing trebled just as fast as carpenters can put the buildings up and me- chanics can install the machinery. This move has been found necessary by the enormous increase in the cotton in- dustry in the Salt River valley.
 The company not only has it's large plant in Phoenix. but it has gins in Glendale, Tempe, Mesa Chandler anc Tolleson. Every one of the big plants is operated by electricity and every one is the latest thing in cotton ma chinery.
 The menace of fire ever present in the cotton industry has been overcome by the company to some extent by building several of the large ware houses out of hollow tile. Others built of wood have been chemically treated ' to retard flames if they ever break out. The main office of the Southwest Cotton company is located adjacent to the plant at Seventh and Grant streets A large roomy residence has been con verted to an up-to-date office build ing. There the heads of the com pany's affairs in the valley have their quarters and the great business con- ducted by the company causes a con stant hum of industry to arise in the district, flanked by cotton gins and oil presses.

VALLEY COTTON
 AMAZED M 'CALL

q saw some of the cotton from this valley and it looked good to me- said B. B. Mccall, head of the Mccall Cot ton and Oil company in answer to question asking his reason for coming to the Salt River Valley to locate. 'I had been forced out of the business in Florida through the ravages of the boil weevil and I was looking around for the best place to locate. I decided as soon as I had seen the long staple pro- duct from here that I had found the place and thus far nothing has hap pened to make me change my mind"
 MT. Mccall, who has been in the cotton business all his life, in fact was practically raised in the game, has one of the most up to date plants in the valley. The Mccall Cotton and Oil company represents an investment of $350,000 and covers about ten acres of ground. At the present time in common with every other cotton and oil company, its plant is working to capacity, two shifts keeping the big mill running day and night.
 MT. McCan's first venture in the valley following the crushing of his plans in Florida, was the building of
 
 success of this venture, he decided to back his faith in the valley, and in sure his future, by organizing the Mccall Cotton and Oil company.
 He is keenly enthusiastic over cotton conditions here. In fact it is impossi- ble to interview those who are at the head of the various cotton concerns without encountering the enthusiasm which permeates the entire district It is a comparatively small area where men talk and think cotton. Where cotton is king, and everyone is con- scious that the future of the city and the valley, as well as their own de- bends on the bettering of the present cotton crop. it's enlargement, and the winning of the good will of the mar who grows the cotton.
 No one in all that great hive of in- dustry realizes this better than doe: B. B. Mccall. He is heartily in favor of and is advocating an open marke for the cotton grown in this district He stated yesterday that any buyer i! perfectly willing to come into the yart of the Mccall Cotton and Oil compan! and make such purchases as he see fit. He believes that each and ever! rancher mas rlgnt 10 dispose or m cotton as he chooses and is doing ev erything in his power to make i easier for the rancher to do so. Il the words of MT. Mccall, they "ar playing the game wide open"
 The long staple cotton of the Sal River Valley according to Mir. McCal is with the exception of a smal amount raised in the Carolina Island' the highest priced cotton in the world It is the highest priced for but on reason, he stated, and that is beeaus it is the best.
 The company which MT. Mccall ha sorganized has erected a plant whic lis second to none in the valley. It expected they will handle a capacit run of cotton this year, and increas their facilities before the next seaso opens A thoroughly up to date O.

futures for the Salt River Valley rancher.
 Although the Martin Cotton com pany has had it's custom gin in opera ton but short time, it is at present doing a capacity business. Two shifts keep the big plant running night and day, and constant line of big wagons loaded with cotton is always waiting for a turn under the big vacuum pipes which unload the valuable crop. They are at present handling between 40 and 50 bales a day
 Keep the crop Standardized and we will compete with the best cotton gown in the world" said MT. Taylor. It is absolutely necessary to keep it up to the present standard and en- deavor to better it.
 Tt is wrong for any rancher to at tempt to grow his own seed. The United States government is produc- ing seed for the ranchers here, grown on the best land in the valley under the most perfect of conditions, and handled by experts. They are con stantly endeavoring to better the seed By using that seed alone, the present product will not only be kept up to Standard but bettered A few days ago a rancher came into us and stated that he wanted the seed from that load of cotton of course we refused. He was rather irate, and wanted to know why he should pay for more seed from the government than we paid him. We 1 explained that he could get better seed from the government at cost which was small compared with the price of seed in other places. We dc not give out bit of seed, every ounce of it is crushed for oil, wherein we follow the policy of all other cotton ! gins.
 Tt is positively necessary that every l grower have new seed each season
 That fact cannot be emphasized toe much"

That the price of cotton will not go below an average of 50 cents a pound for the next five years, is the predic ton of J. D. Taylor, vice president of the Martin Cotton company and one of the best posted cotton men in the valley. Mir. Taylor has been in the cotton business since 1891, and has visited practically all of the great growing centers in the world.
 The cotton industry in this valley employs more men and has more capi tai invested than any other industry" said NIT. Taylor during the course Of an interview. T really think" he con tinued, "that the crop this year will be 50000 bales. The average price per bale will be S300 Even if the crop is oily 10000 bales, that will mean the bringing of about s12,300,00O to this valley. Practically all of the money comes from the east and some from Europe. You can plainly see what it means to the people of the Salt River Valley. If we take GO cents a pound as an estimate for the average price of this seasons cotton, and that is the lowest possible estimate l believe, and estimate the crop at 50,000 bales, it will mean that SIT 800 900 will come to the people of the valley. In my estima- ton no matter how we look at it, we are in for the most prosperous year this section of the country has ever known"
 MT. Taylor hopes to see the com hined crop of cotton for the state of Arizona amount to 50O000 bales. In order for it to reach this figure, it will of course be necessary for the Casa Grande project to be in full operation With Yuma. Phoenix and the Casa Grande district producing to capacity it will mean according to Mir. Taylor that Arizona will be able to compete on an equal footing with Egypt and be able to quote its own futures. This means in his opinion the most golden

Long strings of wagons with wealth of cotton contained in their giant boxes constantly wend their way to the gins in that district. Great vacuum pipes draw the cotton from the wagons into the gins. In spite of the enormous amount of business han dled, there is no confusion, no wrang- ling over methods and price, It is a market where the rancher brings hisN wealth producing crop, sells it, and leaves with an empty wagon and 2 full pocket.
 Night and day the great gins are roaring. Every road leading into the cotton ginning district is knee deep with dust, mute evidence of the great volume of traffic handled. Hundreds of men and women are employed in the gins, the-oil presses and the offices maintained by the companies.
 And in that small district so fraught with possibilities for the future, there are men laboring with definite goal ahead. They have mainly heard the call of the golden harvest from afar. Several have faced ruin in the south. They have fought the ravages of the boil weevil, and been forced to admit they were beaten there, but in the Salt River valley they have started again Started confident that the people of this section, are capable of raising the best cotton in the world. Here they have found the realization of their dreams. A section where the long staple rivals that of ancient Egypt in quality, and where they hope they will see it rivalled in quantity
 They are not thinking of the present in that district. They look to the flu ture, the far future. They count the time when other great cotton sections in the state are opened up. They cal culate the number of bales which must l be raised in order that Arizona may have a voice in the fixing of the worlds cotton prices and when this state may quote it's own futures.
 The fact that one plant is trebling it's equipment, and that without an ex- ception. every organization there is in some manner endeavoring to increase it's output, is proof that the cotton future of this section is assured in their minds.
 l A visit to that section of the city where the gins are located is a revela- ton. Phoenix has no manufacturing | industries' has been the cry of those i who describe this as only an agricul- | Iurdl town. PhOen1X has a group and a large group of the most up-to-date plants in the world" will be the claim of every citizen once he has gone through the mill district
 The centralization of the cotton gin- ming industries in Phoenix does not mean other portions of the valley are not being looked after by the various companies interested All together there are 10 cotton gins in the Salt
 River valley. Even that number is not enough to take care of the crop. If the yield of cotton continues to ex- pand as it has in the past few years. there is not a question of a doubt ac- cording to those at the head of the
 Phoenix mills, that the present district

AR|z. EGYPT PLANT CARRYING
 FULL SCHEDULE

At the rate cotton is passing through the gins of the Arizona Egyptian Cot ton company, at least 1000 bales will have been taken care of ere the sea- son has closed. This according to Herbert B. Atha head of the company, is more than any other single plant in the valley handles, and is FOO bales more than the tnire crop of the valley in the 1914-1915 season.
 | MT. Atha is the pioneer of the cotton industry in the valley, both as grow CT and as the organizing genius of the first cotton company in the valley. It was only by accident that he be- came interested in what is now the most valuable crop in the Salt River valley. Mr Atha was originally a steel man, who came to the southwest spurred into the open by the call of the back to the farm movement. He secured a ranch north of Phoenix and started in to raise most everything. One year he planted crop of COW peas which refused to grow. In fact they died, but his foreman, a young Texan, noticed there was considerable cotton in the fields which was doing considerably well. MT. Atha became tremendously interested, and set about experimenting.
 The next year, following a trip to Bard, California, where government experts had been endeavoring to de- velop cotton. MT. Atha raised his first crop consisting of nearly one bale. He hauled the cotton to the Pima Indian reservation where a one stand gin had been set up, had it ginned and was more than ever convinced it was the coming thing.
 Following his success in raising 2 small crop. Mir. Atha made plunge and planted 1S0 acres to long staple cotton. Transportation facilities tt the Pima Indian reservation, where the only gin was in operation were toe poor to think of hauling the crop O 1S0 acres that distance.
 So MT. Atha pioneered once nor, and erected a small gin on his ranch which in addition to handling his owI crop, took care of the cotton iron about 120 acres more planted in thu valley, and even the governmen agents sent some in from the Gil; crossing.
 The path of the cotton pioneer ha not been smooth by any means ac cording to MT. Atha.
 we nave not dlWdyS Deen gong al smoothly as we are now" said MT Atha in speaking of the development of the great industry. Tn 1915 whel the crop for the valley dropped to no bales, we had pretty hard going, bu we managed to pull through, more ol our faith in the future than anything else"
 The reason for the decrease in tn crop raised the year of which MI Atha spoke, was caused by the slumI in price the year before. The pric of cotton can be traced in it's varia tions up and down by the change i the number of bales raised in the val ley. Following are figures given ou by Mr. Atha showing the amount 0 - L--. l. L

enterprise holds for the valley. It is possible according to those who are interested in the manufacturing future of the valley, that this city due to it's being the center of great cotton growing district may well support sev- eral factories of this valley.

The present plant of the Arizona Egyptian Cotton company is the out growth of the first small gin brought to the valley by Mr Atha. From it's first small start of about 120 bales, it has grown so that the output this year will probably be in the neighbor- hood of 1000 bales. In addition the company has increased it's oil produc- ing plant 50 per cent over last year and is carrying on one of the largest industries of that kind in the valley. Fifteen hundred tons of seed are being crushed each month in the oil mills of the Arizona Egyptian Cotton company.
 MT. Atha is also thoroughly in favor of ranchers changing their crops each year and not sticking by the one crop of cotton. He thinks that although the dairy industry for the present has suffered a set back, that it is due to be rejuvenated
 The cotton men are anxious to do everything in their power to aid the dairymen, and believe that in making the cotton seed cake for feeding stock, they are putting on the market, the best cattle feed known.
 Mir. Atha in company with the other big cotton men of the valley is a staunch adherent of the policy of keeping the seed standardized, know ing that if the product falls below it's present par, it will react to the detri- ment of everyone. The fact that he was one of the first men in the valley to become interested in the cotton in- dustry, and that he has made sue cess of his venture has not caused Mir Atha to cease from his labors to make the industry still more successful. He is still looking forward to the future and doing everything in his power to stabilize conditions, see that the boil weevil pests are kept out and that the crop is standardized.

HERMAN
 BADLY BEATEN

WATERBURY, Conn.,, Sept. l. Pete Herman of New Orleans, batam- weight champion of the world, was defeated in a 10-round no-decision bout by Joe Lynch of New York, at the Driving Park here this afternoon. Newspaper critics give Lynch eight of the 10 rounds, the other two being even.
 Lynch forced the fighting from the start to finish while the champion fought on the defensive most of the time, showing only occasional flashes of the form expected of him. In the third round, Herman landed two hard rights to Lynch's body but the New Yorker came back strong and captured honors in all of the ensu ing rounds. Herman was never in danger, however, as Lynch's blows seemed to lack power.
