people come to this state every year and while the people of Arizona greatly sympathize and pity these unfortunates we do not wish the treasury department drained dry for
 burials at the expense of the state.
 A'lzona offers every opportunity for the citizen who wishes to estab- fish for himself home. This state. although the youngest state of the
 Union, has one of the finest school
 systems of the entire United States. Its University is recognized in. every
 college of any importance in this | country; and besides this University, Arizona maintains two state normals. People who lack education when
 they enter the state have every op- portunity to attend these schools and educate themselves.
 Besides the excellent opportunities for education in this state there are numerous undeveloped resources. Arizona contains the largest forest in the United States Of these won derful forests great numbering pro- jects could be launched and success fully carried out.
 Arizona also contains hundreds of acres of fertile land such as the deserts and the valleys in the north ern part; if irrigation were carried out these lands would produce the finest crops of any land in the Unit ed States.
 Arizona has every reason and every undeveloped resource to encourage and beckon a staple population to make conscientious effort to carry on business projects and establish homes.
 The cattle raising industry in Ari- zona runs fair race with this in- dustry in other states; and with the last season being an extremely rainy one, this industry bids fair to soar to higher position. Also while the United States and Europe de- pend upon the western portion of the United States for meat supply, this enterprise alone affords one of the greatest opportunities for the man who wishes to lead a simple life and be an independent business mar.
 Along with cattle raising comes another kind of stock raising. Al though it is slightly differe,t frcm the cattle raising industry it is just as profitable. This is sheep raising. In the northern part of Arizona there are great herds of fine sheep, the number of which increases every year. Not only is the wool valuable but sheep are valuable ds food.
 With these great opportunities for wealth and homes, the population of Arizona should equal or even surpass that of those smaller states in the east which have such few resources. Also with these resources open for development the people coming into the state could break the monoply exercised by the large mining com panies of this region. The people could establish in the mining district, stores, banks and other businesses other than those operated by the large companies who control the mines. In those camps which are situated near streams they could ev- en establish manufacturing centers as those mining and manufacturing town-cities of Michigan and the Great Lakes.
 Arizona still holds another call. That is for the tourist or the pleas ure seeker. Arizona has the finest and, grandest scenery not only in the United States but in Europe also. The Grand Canon of the Colorado is one of the most wonderful examples of natural beauty in the world. Be sides the Grand Canon there is the Petrified Forest which also ranks with the noted exhibitions of scenic grandeur. Notwithstanding the beau ties of the Petrified Forest, there is NhO lOol O1CoI Ol AllZOHd, tllS est standing forest in the United States. This forest furnishes one of the finest hunters paradises on the continent. Once the tourist finds these beauties and along with the ideal climate of Arizona, he will not have to cross to Italy or even go | as far as Florida for his winter home.
 Therefore Arizona needs boosters who will spread afar the propaganda, as we might say, of her resources and advantages. Along with the | willingness to spread broadcast this | information concerning the advan- tages to the people; these indiSi- | duals themselves must be willing to ! strive and make Arizona's virtues at
