It will be good neighbors of Pinal county that the Florence-Casa Grande diversion project has been given the sanction of the secretary Of the interior. In hardly lesser degree is it good to for closely allied the agricultural interests of both communities that regard it extension of project
 The people of Pinal have waited long and pa tientIy this, but waiting they have not sat supinely down and oafed. They never lost sight of the fact that effort needed to secure gravity water Meanwhile they made the most or what hand and thereby they must have con- vinced the government that the greater blessing should be bestowed upon them, for gods have ever helped those who help themselves. The people have given an earnest of what be done with such land. and with the limited hand. have laid the foundation of agricultural empire.
 For nine years hope has been deferred at Casa Grande In fact long before nine ago there was a dream Casa Grande of the future but it only about nine years ago that the dream began to take Within the last the settlement has grown prodigiously and land values have increased beyond the expectations of the sangune
