connection with the growth of Florence is the fact that land values are still reasonable. In fact. land prices are extremely low as compared WI -hat they will be when the San Carlos dam is built Naturally, however, land val ues in the Florence district are ad- vancing steadily, and. in some parts or the district, they have doubled and trebled since last year.
 Flotence is located on the lines of three trans continental highways, the Borderland, the Bankhead and the Dix ie Overland. In addition to these, oth- CT ocean o-ocean highways pass through the town. County highways out of the city in every direction make Florence the center of a vast area covered by some of the best roads in Arizona.
 Climatic conditions Tn FIosence are ideal. The weather climate is supe- r1or in mildness to the widely adver- tised climate of the Pinal mountains and the excellent highways to them from Florence makes the climate, con- sidered as a year-round proposition, perhaps the finest in the United States. The Arizona state prison was located here because the state legislature rec ognized that the Florence district of : fered ideal climatic conditions for the states largest penal institution.

committee of the San Carlos associa- ton:
 First, it settles the relative rights of the Indians and whites to the waters of the Gila river, and it settles those rights by contractural agree ment.
 Second. it has created a spirit of harmony throughout the Florence government could never have settled the diffic culties there without court ac- tions which would have been disastrous to everyone in the valley.
 It Accomplished Something
 Third, it accomplished something. The people of the Florence Casa Grande valley wanted something done to take care of the Indian reservation and contiguous territory. There was a little brush dam in the river-and when the water came down the dam would wash away, so that when there was plenty of moisture in the river there was none in the canals. A per- manent diversion dam was a necessity.
 Fourth, the people of the Florence Casa Grande valley knew that once the government reached the point of con- struction of the San Carlos dam would become only a matter of time.
 The diversion dam will irrigate about 62,000 acres of land. 35,o0O of which belong to the Pima Indian res- ervation and approximately 27,000 to white settlers in the Florence Casa Grande valley in the proportion of about two-thirds to the Florence dis

trict and one-third to the Casa Grande district
 Leading from the dam win be a big canal, having a width on the bottom of from 30 to 40 feet This canal, which will be the main canal of the project. will be divided into two branches, one of which will go to the Picacho reservoir and the other to the reservoir on the Indian reservation. The division will be made in the Ken ilworth district. The entire project will be under the control of the government and will cost from about $7o0,000 tc s1. 000 900.
 The main canal will have a capacity of 1000 second fleet, or, in other terms 40, 900 miners inches.
 Details of the Diversion Project
 The diversion dam itself will be 400 feet long and will have a width. up and down stream, of about 2120 feet All the diversion gates, of which there will be nine, will be on the south side of the river, with one intake. The waters for the country on the north side of the dam will be diverted to the south side of the channel and passed through the dam in a tunnel. which will always keep the current to the south side of the stream
 The nine diversion gates will be of the slximming type. They will be hinged at the bottom, and when opened to their full extent will lie on the bot tom of the dam To lessen the flow, according to requirements, they will be raised to the required heights, so that, by this method of construction. the water will skim over their tops

DIVERSION DAM, NOW AUTHORIZED ASSURESSUCCESS IF B|G PROJECT

The project which. during the past year. has had a most important bear
 ing upon the San Carlos proposal. and which, now that its details have been completed and the actual work of con-
 struction will begin before the first of the year, practically insures the build ing of the San Carlos dam, is that of the diversion dam designed to be built across the Gila river 12 miles east of Florence to supply water to the Pima Indian reservation and about 27,000 acres of land owned by white settlers.
 The importance of this diversion zdam, details of which follow, may be gathered from these four considera- rtions, as outlined by the executive

 GROWING FLORENCE
City Now Developing Rapid ly After Lean Years Destined to Be One of States Big Cities

"A population of 10000 within the next five years Is the slogan which is animat1ng Florence. the largest city in the Casa Grande valley and one of the coming cities of the state. The county seat of Pinal county. the natural busf- ness center of the Florence Casa Grande valley. the connecting link be- tween Phoenix and Tucson with regard to the great agricultural empire formed by the Salt River and Casa Grande valleys, and the center of the mining development being extensively prosecuted in the adjacent mountain ranges. 1t is being recognized as city with a brilliant and solid future.
 In passing, it is well to note that Florence is one of the oldest towns in the state, and that it has figured time and time again in the songs and stories of the great southwest Before the days of the railroad-back in the SO's-freighters came into this active outpost of civilization, bringing with them the output of the famous Silver King mine. Travellers and globe-trot ters of that period came in stag es- the old fashioned leather spring coach es which were the acme of travelling
 Then followed the shutting down of ease in those days.
 the old mine and the wrecking Of the uncertain irrigation system by floods, up- stream diversions and continuous litigation. These conditions 1took the heart" out of many of the pioneers and they departed for other sections of the country.
 Pioneers Faith Rewarded
 However. a few of the braver ones remained, and these, who believed in the richness of the Florence district and who went through the lean years with that belief, are reaping now rich rewards for their faith and the hard ships which it caused them.
 Florence today boasts of a complete and modern electric light plant and water system, municipally owned, both of which have been completed recently. Already plans are under way to en- large the service because of increased population. The grammar and high schools, although newly finisher and equipped, also must be enlarged in the near future.

It was in the Florence district that Pima long staple cotton, the worlds finest cotton prod uct, was brought to perfection in Ar+z- ona This district also claims the hon. or of producing the largest yield Of al- falfa to the acre ever recorded-16 tons per acre per year. Barley, wheat, milo maize, hegari. grapes, dates, figs. peaches. all kinds of fruits and veg etables, and all the interests of d. versied farming are making the Flor ence district a farmers paradise.

while the silt-laden lower waters will flow over them
 At the south end of the dam there will be four sluice gates to keep the current there and to SCOUT silt deposits from the intake.
 The canal heading will be in solid rock. the dam itself also will be an- chored in solid bedrock on each side and for some distance towards the cen ter. In every respect, the location of the diversion dam is considered ideal The Arizona Eastern railroad, for ex- ample, passes within 200 feet of the dam site, which will facilitate to a great extent the shipment of material
 Bids for the construction of the dam will be opened August Is, and actual work will probably start within 90 days from then.
