Even to those who have placed their lpll faith in the Maricopa county pro. lfcts, the development of this irri- .sated area, as shown by figures just compiled by the chamber of commerce, must prove surprising.
 According to this report there are now lSS,232 acres embraced under the salt River project, and this acreage produces revenue of $22,114,gS2. an average of more than $110 an acre.

 There are 295,000 acres in all under Irrigation and cultivation in Maricopa county, and using the same revenue per acre, we get a total revenue foi Farm lands iu Maricopa county of over S33.O0O.0O0. Add another So 100000 for revenue from livestock. poultry. etc. we approach nearly the S4O,OOO. 900 mark for the year 1919 The added value of by-products from agricul nral crops will easily give Us the S2,OO.0O0 to make the total of $4O.- 100000"
 Phoenix is eeneftted
 Holding it's place in the center Of this area of prosperity. Phoenix has taken advantage of the many benefits of it's position and developed them 10 lhe fullest extent. This is shown in the building permits which have been Issued here, the assessed valuation in- crease, the growing bank deposits, heavier postal business and steadily increasing population.
 During the ten months from Janu- aN until October ot this year. per mits were granted for two million dollars of building construction
 The assessed valuation has grown rom S9,000,000 in 1910 to S31 ,500. GOO in l91S-1919 in the city of Phoenix and Maricopa county has increased from ylL0O0,O00 in 1910 to S9S.00O 900 in 1919.

 Postal business has grown from $50, 0O0 in 1911 to S221,000 in 1918.
 o Growth of Schools
 The school census in Maricopa county in 1917 was 14,770: in 1919 20,S69. The 1910 census gives the city of Phoenix a population of 11.134. The chamber of commerce estimates that the present population is 10000.
 Using this figure as a basis, Harry Welch, secretary of the chamber of commerce. has estimated that if therc IS an annual increase of 20 per cent in the population, Phoenix will be a city of 100000 in 1925. At the slower rate of only 15 per cent increase, the population in 1925 would be S0545. For the very conservative estimator.

that IL the allies make further de-
mands he will not take the response

He said Germany needs peace inn

clared Ebert. We stand on President
Wilson's platform which was the basis
on which we signed the armistice. We
will do everything to comply with
conditions founded on his points. 1t
is possible, tho. that the enemy will
make fur her demands. Germany can
not accept them. l could not take
the responsibility for signing the
peace terms in that case. l could not
take the consequences and l would re-
sign. L don't know what would hap
pen after that
Asked what he thought of the re-
sponsibility for the war, Ebert said;
Not Germany Alone.
That is a question 1 cannot answer
offhand. Personally, l feel that blame
was not Germanys alone
The conversation was directed to the
Spartacan uprising.
We need peace Immediately so we
can get food and material that will
enable the people to go to wosi " he
said.
THE charge that the government
encouraged the disorders SO as 10 es-

reason we did nothing against Boil

intend to use every means to suppress

an enemy to society.

The great danger of a Bolshevist
victory is over. The struggle centered
about Liebknecht and his associates in
Berlin. There are still traces of Boil
