Read Labels Carefully.

While the labels referred to are
grossly misleading on casual reading
such as is given by the average house

way which will reveal to the careful,
critical reader the fact that the prod

These inconspicuous statements are
usually placed. on the labels for the
purpose of evading the penalties for
misbranding. The manufacturer hopes
to mislead the purchasers by suggeS-

prominently on the label so as to at

charge of misbranding by correcting
the misleading features with inconspic'

The first question naturally pro- pounded when 1t is suggested tl,st it s the plan of the Francis I, Patton Reclamation company to impound tbe -aters of the Bill Williams river. is. hoE about the water in the river is mere enough of it, is there room for d ake and is there a large drasnage srea2''

The roads are rough, the washes on the desert are deep and occasionally 1t is neces- sary. to make one own road, but it is possible to get there in spite of every thing which nature has placed in the way of travellers.
 Leaving here early in the morning the party arrived a the ranch of Clarence Hand on the Bill Williams river late that night. Sleeping out of doors was quite the proper thing and sleeping well was very ordinary and to be expected experience after travel Ing all day and arriving at a place so ideally located as the Hand ranch -on the Bill Williams.
 The next morning horses were fur nished from the Hand ranch and the party started down the Bill Williams to the dam site a distance of seven miles. It is no easy matter following the winding rambling course of the Bill Williams. The bed of the river is full of quick sand, and as soon as one enters the box canyon it is necessary to wade constantly down stream with onyy an occasional opportunity to get the horses out on dry land.
 As an evidence that the supply of water for the river is never ending, it might be mentioned that the quick sand IS so constantly encountered, that t is really dangerous to ride through the river unless behind some one who knows the proper places to cross. Tn spite of the constant acquaintance Mir. Stene has had with the river bed he encountered quicksand much to the disgust and excitement of his horse One after another the three members of the party provided amusement for the others by innocently riding their animals into quick sand and furnishing

STATE OFFICIAL Is
 INTERESTED IN NEW
 PROJECT FUR BOUSE

T am greatly interested in the rec lamation of the Bonse valley through the medium of impounding the waters of the Bill Williams river said chair man of the corporation commission Amos A. Betts, yesterday in speaking of the proposed plan of the Francis L. Patton Reclamation company to build a storage dam on the above river.
 Tt looks to me like a perfectly feas- sible proposition" he continued, and have been watching it from the very start with keen Interest. The matter was first brought 10 my attention when NIT. Stene proposed to erect a small dam for the purpose of providing power to develop his mining property along the river. When he told me of the enormous body of water which comes down the river I at once sug- gested to him that it would be far bet ter 10 use the water for irrigation pur- poses.
 He fell in with my proposal and started to look for land low enough to accept the water from the Bin Will liaras. Now that they have definitely settled that the Bouse valley or the Lotus valley as they have renamed it is low enough to be irrigated from the proposed lake on the Bill Williams l am intensely interested and shall. do

Heod Of Neau Company
 Is Not Stranger Here

standpoint MT. Patton maintains Of e fices at 40 Wall street, in spite of which he is not a stranger to Arizona. Some 20 years ago he was associated with Governor Tom Campbell in mining enterprise at Jerome. Since spot in his heart for this state and has numbered a large coterie' of Arizona mining men- among his clients.
 It was while acting as counsel for F. NJ. Stene. head of the Stene Con solidatcd Copper company, that Mir. Patton first became interested in i'm pounding the waters of the Bill Will Hams river. MT. Stene had located a damsite in the box canyon of the Bill Williams. intending to erect dam for the purpose of creating power for his mining operations.
 Later after a close study Of the en- tire project it was decided that it would bc much better 10 build larger dam and use the water for irrigation pur- poses as well as for producing cleo tricity.
 It was when the plan was definitely larncbed and engineers started on the making Cf elaborate surveys of the en- tire district. that Mr. Patton came to Arizona to assist in the legal end of thc enterprise. Naturally being from the heart Of the financial district of the United States, Wall street. MT. i H3IfOn WILL nave 10 DdIQlt lilC IndJOi portion of the negotiations as to the financing of the project.
 In this regard MT. Patton made the following statement:
 "A large number Of the New York ] investment houses for the present at least and possibly for the future are inclined to pass up rail bonds as d source Of investment Government control and other conditions may have had something to do with this. Tho 1 financial interests arc merely large wholesale purchasers of bonds which ] they intend to retail at a profit. and i they want good commodity to handle
 This being the case they are in 2 large measure turning to public utility bonds. I have talked with several large financial men about this proposi- tion and they are interested to the eX- tent that they want to know some l thing more about it.
 ''As soon as I am well enough in ] formed 10 make an intelligent presen tatioU of the entire matter shall laI it before them. ! nm satisfied that the entire plan is feasible and that Ii is of such nature that it will be carried through in the near future Whether we do it or someone else doe' is another question.

companied by evidence satisfactorily showing either that the intended en- tryman has already acquired by ap- propriation, purchase or contract, right to the permanent use of suf- ficient water to irrigate and reclaim all of the irrigable portion of the land sought or that he has initiated and prosecuted, as far as then poSsi- ble appropriate steps looking to the acquisition of such a right If an ap- pllcant intends to procure water from an irrigation district corporation or association, but is unable to obtain a contract for the water in advance of the allowance of his entry, then he must furnish in lieu of contract some written assurance from the responsi- ble officials .eof such district, corpo- ration or association that, if his entry be allowed. applicant will be able. to obtain from that source the necessary. water. All applications not accom- panied by the evidence above indicat- ed *ili be rejected"
 It may be readily seen that the Pat ton company has two sources of water for irrigation purposes. They have filed on the dam site on the Bill Will Hams. thus giving them access to that source. and they have filed appI- cation for the underground rights of
 the Bouse valley. Both of these fil- | ings apply to the S7,000 acres desig-
 mated in Lotus valley. southeast of l Bouse.
 | The history of the undertaking to
 dam the waters of the Bill Williams
 river and place the Bouse valley un- 1 der irrigation reads like a modern TO-
 nance. It was while making a re port for the industrial department of
 tn Santa F'e of that portion of Arizo- na lying south of the main line of that 1 railroad and between Needles and 1 Kin gman, that Mir. Stene became inti- l mately acquainted with the possfbili-
 ties for future development there. After placing his report and top | biographical. geological and minerologi- cal maps of the district in the hands
 of the Santa Fe, he determined to re- i sign his position and develop certain
 mining properties which he had de-
 cided 10 take over. These claims are i located directly on the Bin Williams
 river at the entrance to the Box can ! yon.
 A camp was established there in 1915 on a rising flat half mile above the
 mouth of the canyon and about forty

high mountain ranges. Some one dis covered a long time ago it is impos- sible to make water run mp hill. The locators of the dam site wisely took that into consideration and the mat ter had been dropped as not feasible.
 But if the dreamers who visioned a great area of land prospering under the waters of the Bill Williams had investigated a little closer, they would have discovered that to the southwest of the mountains there was 8 pass through which the water could come. The elevation of the Bill Williams is approximately 1000 feet. The eleva- ton of the Bouse valley is about 1,200 fleet By building a dam 2S4 feet high, raising the elevation of the water high CT than that of the valley, 1t is read ily seen it will be possible to have the irrigation water follow the 1.20e foot level around the end of the noun tain and into the fertile valley.
 Naturally the question is asked, who is going to do this?
 The Francis L. Patton Reclamation company. organized by Francis L. Pat ton of 40 Wall street, New York, and R. NJ. Stene of Phoenix, is furnishing the motive power.
 Again the question is asked. how does one acquire land under the pro- posed dam2 There are ST 900 acres in the Lotus valley. An application for the underground water rights 4n a well defined channel under the Lotus valley has been made to the state wa ter commissioner by the Patton com pany If this right is granted, they will be entitled to the ownership of the appropriated waters and they must in turn see that the waters are devel- oped and put to a beneficial use. The Patton company is locating people on this land under the desert land laws ! which provide that mo desert land appncation will be allowed unless ac-

BOUSE FLOUR|SHES UNDER PROMISE IF
 IRRIGATION WATER

Lotus Valley comprising S7.00o acres of the finest land in the state is the name given to that valley just east of Bouse and formerly known as Rouse valley. The object in changing the name is not to detract from the fame of the town of Bouse, but to more em- phatically demonstrate that a new era has set in for that section of the state, that the changing of the name is only the first step towards changing the face of the landscape from brown desert to a green paradise.
 Bouse at the present time is taking on the aspect of a boom town. There are three hotels in the place and they are all full. As matter of fact it is just as necessary. to reserve room in advance at any of the three Bouse hos telries as it is in any city.
 Inasmuch as Bouse is the junction point for the Arizona and Swansea rail- road, running from Bouse to Swansea, the former town has all the ear marks of the typical Arizona railroad town,

A days ride from Phoen-x there is a town named Bouse, located at the western end of a large fertile valley Rouse is a small town, in it's way a railroad center. The valley at it's doors has been a constant inspiration for some one to come along and make it's broad level acres yield as fertile crops as any valley in the southwest. Water-and lots of it. has been sorely needed.
 A few miles north of the Bouse val ley or the Lotus valley as 1t is now called, is the Bill Williams river. There is an abundance of water there. The river bed is so full of quicksand it is almost dangerous to cross. The ever- recurring floods sweep everything in front of them Untold damage has been done by the mad rush of the waters.
 The river runs through a broad basin at an elevation of about 1000 feet. The broad bed of the Bill Williams formed by the merging of the Big Sandy, Burro creek, Trout creek, the Santa Maria and Date creek, runs into box canyon the lower end of which has for years invited a man to build a dam therein.
 And there you have 1.-the crude clements of a first class irrigation waste, perfectly level; to the north a large river with constant flow of water augmented frequently by floods a box canyon for q dam site and all that is needed is for man to come along put his energies to work and make the desert bloom
 Man first arrived on the scene a good many years ago. Several people have seen the advantages of building a dam on the Bill Williams. but in eacll case they failed to discover where they could use the water. Directly to the so,lth of the Bill Williams there are

Weuden. located in the midst Of beautiful McMullins valley only 20 miles from the proposed dam to be erected by tho Francis l.. Patton Reclamation company on tho Bill Williams river. and lying along the direct road from Phoenix 10 the coast via W ickenburg. is in a position 10 be materially benefited by the creation of a great reclamation project for the Rouse valley. The water from the Bill Williams cannot be brought 10 McMullen's valley, but power and lots =s 4 l>== ee=se. =z.= elasea tlse Bill Williams. and this same power will probably prove the greatest factor in tho development of Wendcn and the surrounding country.
 There is plenty pI water uittltri, ii,e the country in the vicinity of Wenden, but it is too expensive 10 pump. By the introduction of cheap electricity, that problem will be solved and the valley should be made to flourish even as it is planned that the Bouse valley shall bring forth crops of cotton, ai- falfa and citrus fruits.
 No Artesian We'll Yet
 Some time ago the state appropriated S50,00 for the purpose of drilling ] test well in the vicinity of Wenden. The money was to be taken from one per cent of the rentals and sale of | state lands. surveyor was sent to Wenden and the entire town turned out and aided him in the location of the well, but since that time not tap or work has been done by the state, and 1 McMullins valley remains with a very strong possibility of never knowing whether it has a chance to develop artesian water. The people of Wen den are very anxious for the state to go on with the work of drilling the we'll they are wondering why nothing ! has ever been done and they are prone ] to ask all travellers if they know of any reason why it should not he done.
 They Have Good Roads
 Although the major portion of the coast traffic is wont to wend it's way 1 through Buckeye, Palo Verde and 1 thence to Bouse. Wenden wants it definitely known that it is on a main highway and they also want it very definitely known that they believe they have just as good roads between Wickenburg and Wenden as there are between PaIo Verde and Salome. As a matter of fact the element of hazard (which enters the journey at the cross ing of the Hassayampa near Wicken- burg is all that keeps more parties from travelling through Wenden The roads in and around that place are in good, condition as desert roads go. 4 new hotel is being opened up at Wen den. and there are plenty of stores there to care for the wants of the weary or famished traveller.
