CANTA[OUPE SEASON CLOSES AS FEDERAL
 AGENT HERE LEAVES

The last cantaloupe bulletin of the bureau of markets was issued yester- day, and Ed M Seifert, Jr.. governmen. representative here. will leave tomor- row for Los Angeles on a vacation which though short is none the less well deserved With the exception of a few cars which may struggle out from time to time, the cantaloupe sea son closes with his departure. Not over 20 cars left the valley yesterday. The official total of shipments up to and including Tuesday is 1,731 cars. It is probable that the total shipment for the season will fall short of the pre- season estimate by at least 200 or 300 cars.
 In summing up the market conditions which have prevailed during the season of the Salt River valley cantaloupe, however, MT. Seifert said.
 "They have brought wonderful prices, with the sole exception of the overrpes which were forced to seek nearby markets"
 The Turlock acreage is now claiming the attention of the government ex- perts. Preliminary reports from the IA. 900 acres in that field are not en- couraging. The market is unsettled and many cantaloupes are being picked from vines dying from drought.
 Growers, shippers and all persons in any way connected with the cantaloupe industry unite in praising the assist ance rendered them by the federal bu- reau of markets, administered here by Mir Seifert. The daily market news report which has been issued free of charge to all persons interested has been one of the most valuable of it's works.
 This market report consists of two page summary of market conditions received from all over the country, consolidated and printed within four hours after the market for the day is established. web of private leased wires centering at Washington and ex- tending westward along a main artery through Denver to Los Angeles makes this possible. Market conditions as eX- istant at o'clock in the morning in Boston. New York, Buffalo Philadel- phia and other great cities in the east are telegraphed to Washington and im- mediately issued to Los Angeles by way of Denver. The system is so arranged that not only have the shippers here a concise and up- p-to-date summary at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, but Boston knows the situation in Philadelphia, in Atlanta, and so on. Government aid in this fashion has been of ,ncalculabl benefit to all concerned

BUYS SITE FUR
 NEW RESORT AT
 AGUA CALIENTE
George Hageman Purchases Anderson Property and Springs-Will Erect Mod ern Hotel at Famous Health Center

After an investigation of several months and frequent visits, George Hageman has purchased the J. J. Anderson property at Agua Cahente Hot Springs and shortly will begin the construction of modern hotel there. The property secured by him is in the midst of 17 hot springs adjoining the famous Modesti springs which have been visited by persons from all parts of the west.
 MT Hageman has lately completed experiments with a centrifugal pump and satisfies himself that he would be able to develop water sufficient for 10000 people.
 Notwithstanding the well known cur ative properties of the waters there, the lack of accommodations has all ways been a serious drawback to the popularity of the resort It is the in- tention of MT Hageman and his as sociates to overcome that. The hotel will have at the beginning 124 rooms, each room with a bath. It is the in- tention to have a place that will be comfortable enough for the millionaire and yet within reach of those in mod crate circumstances. Special attention will be given to the cuisine.
 Held Property Long Time
 This property had been held for many years by MT. Anderson who once had frame hotel there, but it was burned. Since then various attempts have been made 10 induce him to sell it but he has always steafastly refused until now. The price pad for the ground covered by the springs has not been made public. In addition there are 320 acres which Mir Hageman has secured most of which can be irrigat- cd bv waste water from the springs.
 Various attempts have been made by the Southern Pacific company and others 10 purchase the Modesti prop erty and it is said that S300,0 900 was

 VALUATION RAISE

The total valuation of real and per sonal property in Maricopa country has increased in value approximately s3,- 000,000 during the past year. Accord ing to figures prepared by Clarence l.. Standage, clerk of the board of super visors, the total valuation of property this year is s101, ,252,3S as compared with approximately s97.346, 900 for the year previous
 This increase is all the more remark sable, according to MT. Standage. in view of the fact that the exemptions claimed this year were much higher than any year previous, amounting to s954,315. In addition to this the county lost railroads valued at $500,000 by the moving of the Yuma -Maricopa county boundary line.
 Irrigated land is the greatest source of wealth in the county, the valuation being placed at s34,924432. There is practically no mining property of value in the county. but automobiles to the amount of s3,o15.3S5 are owned in Maricopa county.

HEAVY RAINS FAST OF
 GLOBE AFFECT ROADS

Word reached the office of the state engineer yesterday that the rains east of Globe were much heavier than any known before. In fact the proverbial oldest inhabitant had never seen the equal of the amount of water precipi- tated.
 The heavy rain demonstrated to State Engineer Maddock that it Is go- ing to be necessary to have greatly increased bridge openings across the river between Globe and Rice. Dirt work has been under way for some time on the highway east of Globe. but none of the bridges have been pu, in as the surveys were rather old and the highway department desired to check drainage areas and openings before work was started.
 State Engineer Maddock stated yes terday that he was of the opinion that in many places where it was planned to build bridges east of Globe it would be cheaper and more feasible to con- struct concrete dips.

bridge it had planned near San Car los. It was known that if the dam was built 160 feet high it would cover the present bridge. State Engineer Mad dock spent considerable time locating a new bridge site and at last decided on one six miles further up stream which would keep it out of the water as proposed by survey made by mili tary engineers. But the new plan also puts this proposed bridge under water.
 It will now be necessary to make a new survey for a bridge. The pro- posed dam at 270 feet will back water nearly up to the town of Rice

 This property lies on the state high way which it is believed will shortly be put into shape between this city and California. Among the improve ments expected to be made by Mir. Hageman will be a betterment of the facilities for reaching the railroad at Sentinel.

COCON|NO WON' I. WAIT FUR HELP. FUR ROAD WORK
Old Trails Road in North in Such Bad Shape County Will Begin Work at Once Cant Wait for U. s. Aid

The main east and west highway through Coconino county known as the Old Trails road, connecting Springer vile with Ash Fork Kingman and Needles. is in such bad shape, accord ing to County Supervisor C. T. Wolfolk and County Engineer Wright, that it is thought best not to wait for federal aid in reconstructing it, but to go ahead with the work as soon as pos sible
 Wolfolk and Wright were in the city yesterday conferring with the state highway department. They informed the department that they considered it the best plan not to wait to secure federal aid, but to expend Coconino's portion of the state road fund at once In much needed improvements.
 County Engineer Wright has asked for federal aid in paving the road in and out of Flagstaff. This will cost about s60O0O and it is expected that the federal government will contribute $25, 900. This situation is analogous with that in Tempe. The government will aid in the paving of approaches to towns of less than 2,500 inhabitants. providing the towns are on the main , will form approaches to the Northern Arizona Normal school will aid in se- curing this aid.
 Will Ask Federal Aid The state highway department will submit this project and also ask fed eral aid to double the 25,000 to be used on the road between Clarksdale and Williams. A survey of this road is now being made.
 It is expected by the department that s150,000 of the states federal aid will go to Coconino county The re- maining $100000 needed in that county to improve it's roads will be met by a bond issue to be voted on at an elec- tion to be held in September or Oc- tober. At least s100,000 of the entire sum to be used, it is expected. will be spent on the state highway, which will mean a s2O0,000 improvement on the Old Trails road through Coconino county.
 The state highway department ex poets to have the plans, specifications and surveys necessary to comply with federal aid completed this fall and winter and that work will be started in the spring. The department will extend aid in this county only for through roads.
 The forestry department is anxious to have Coconino increase it's proposed bond issue in order to match s50,000 which it is ready to use in improving the road from Flagstaff to Oak creek.
