DO YOU WANT A STATE PARK
IN MO. VALLEY?

DR.. i. H. Pammel, chairman of the
State Board of Conservation, was here
yesterday, inspecting the land just
north of town, known as Snyder's
Hollow, and some adjacent land, to
determine whether a State Park
should be established here.
He stated he would recommend the
location for park and that the State
will appropriate proper portion of the
funds necessary to procure the land
and improve same, and maintain the
park as provided by law. The con-
dition precedent is that the citizens
provide funds to pay about half the
cost Of the land and the State will

and by Sixth, and returnable from

If we really want a park we can
have it very soon by donation of a
few thousand dollars, as after it is
secured the State will maintain it.
A plat will soon be furnished and the
final recommendation made, and left
to us to act further. The CONNER
cial Club, the City and the citizens
should act at once and in substan-
tial way, for DR.. Pammel says this is
the only remaining requirement, as
the Board is ready to make unquali-'
flied recommendation. This will take
money, but as part Of the cost only
will be paid by US, and a park, Of
proper size, we'll equipped and main
tanned by the State, will thus be Sc
cured, it will prove one Of our best
investments. Be ready when called
on to pay substantial sum to this
much desired and highly beneficial en-
terprise.

Con tractor Weatherford is working from drawings furnished by a coast de- signer and the many changes in this resort will bring it up to a standard not before attempted locally, it is said.
 The ball room floor will be sur rounded with tastily arranged little booths and chummy roadster wall seats just built for two'' will be in stalled The front of the building will be entirely remodeled and the old in- terior plan completely changed. A ca tering firm of excellent standing will take charge of the fountain and will serve lunches and special dishes dur ing dancing hours

 The same care that has been exer- cised at Riverside will be given to the uptown enterprise.
 In addition to the Peacock, Messrs Richards and Mace have leased the old Patrick Arcadia and will place an or chestra in it and it will be conduct ed under the same management. These two places will be opened the day thai Riverside closes it's summer season.

ID TEST STATE LAND
 FUR SODIUM SALTS

A contract was concluded yesterday between the state land department and President w. B, Roberts of the West ern Chemical company of Tonopah, New. for experimentation with tract of between 300 and 400 acres Of land along the Verde in Yavapai county for the development of sodium salts.
 Mir, Roberts brought this matter to the attention or the land board at the last meeting on July 20, and since then it has been hanging fire. But con- tract was drawn up and signed by him. Yesterday 1t was signed on behalf Of the board. Under it's terms the land will be leased to Roberts at a rental of $50 during the prospector's stage, and when production begins this con tract shall cease to be of effect, but will be succeeded by an operating li- cense under which the state shall re- ceive 121h per cent of the products of the enterprise.
 An investigation of that country in the same general neighborhood as the famous Soda Springs has been made by MT. Roberts and he declares that there are extensive deposits over a broad territory. Whether development in commercial quantities is possible is yet to be determined.
 MT. Roberts was informed by tele- graph yesterday that the contract hao | been signed It is understood that the sinking of test wells will be begun d once.

People who thought they knew said that not per cent of the land in the state could be added to the already cultivated area and that not 10 per cent could be added to the storage capacity of the state.
 Yet in the short time that the office has been established applications have been made to it involving 275, 5,0O0 acres of land, some state land and some of the unsurveyed public domain.
