that new cities not now born will
spring into being; that mines now
waning will take on new leases of life
and all the cities we now have and all
the industries we have already de-el-
oped will spring into new life and ac-
tivity.
"And when this million people come
they will find the fairest spot on earth
to dwell in. From the perpetual snow
of the San Francisco peaks and The
White mountains to the brilliant sun-
shine of Yuma there is variety and
quality of climate unexcelled anywhere
else. Its mountains are the grandest
greenest and most alluring of any
They afford the recreationist unlimited
opportunity in hunting and fishing and
sequestration. Speaking of tish-it
might be supposed that with a million
people there would be very few fish.
With a little development of the noun
tain streams of Arizona, enough could
be grown to supply any population that
the state may ever support
Mountains that Beckon
when million people come, they
will find nearly every city possessed
of its mountain resort. Globe and
Miami have the Pinals just above
them. Stafford, in the Graham valley,
has the Graham mountains. Bisbee
and Douglas have resorts without end
in the Chiricahuas and Huachucas;
Nogales has numberless canyons filled
with the oak trees Immediately adja-
cent. Florence, Winkelman, Hayden
and Tucson have Oracle and Mount
Lemon and the Santa Catalinas. An
arrangement has just been completed
by which a boulevard will be built
through Oracle to Mount Lemon Who
ever stands on Mount Lemon will
dream forever after Kingman has
it's Hualapais; Jerome, Clarkdale and
Flagstaff have Oak Creek, twenty
miles wonder that will be transferred
into fairy land containing a thou
sand summer homes. Coconino coun-
ty is now building a road through
Flagstaff to the rim of this canyon
and determined effort is being made
by all the surrounding population to
run the state highway through the
canyon. A bridge at Cottonwood
across the Verde river is about to be
built and is part Of this highway
Clifton and Morenci have the White
mountains-indeed a road to these
mountains has just been started.
Greenlee county will spend two hun
dred thousand dollars and has let the
contract for it's part of the road al
ready and the road is now rising out
of the canyon at Metcalf. The Forest
Service will spend two hundred thou
sand dollars and carry the road
through the forest to Springerville
When completed this will be one OF
the worlds highways. Phoenix has its
resorts in the mountains Immediately
to the north of it. Silver mountain is
about so miles away, is covered with
large pine and oak and has living
streams.

"When a million people come they
will find that as a pleasure ground
Arizona will have but one competitor
and that, California; that they will
have learned what we have not real
ized-that those who travel Arizona
more will visit California less; that if
the ocean and fogs were subtracted
from California, there would be moth
ing left to interest the tourists who
know Arizona; that the Arizona noun
tains quite Offset the California ocean.
They will stop the millions in money
that are now annually spent in Cali
fornia for false things and conserve
them for the development of real
things in Arizona. They will know
that it may be all right to visit Cali
fornia once, but it is better to live in
Arizona always"
