The cleanup is going to take many
months but will be accomplished full

The investigation department had
an accumulation of only 1,41S
claims on Sept. 10, while SO claims
awaited special action by the board.
On that date the examination depart

consist of concrete irrigation pipe, electric driven pumping plants, fences, and the complete planting in alfalfa. We are paying these con- tractors with bonds against the unit to the amount of the development contract and the previous indebted ness. The corporation will resell this land at $225 per acre to actual farmers under the Earn al Farm plan and will pay off the balance of its obligations out of its profits.
 The corporation is also installing on the coast its own security sales outfit as a secondary proposition on such basis as to be able to retire it's indebtedness ahead of time from this angle, as well as from the con- tractors angle.
 If this loan can be made to us, it will not only protect the state on it's previous loans, but will hold the land holdings intact during the period of this re-financing, so that in the final windup the corporation can pay all of its liabilities. These liabilities to considerable amount are payable to the Central bank of Phoenix, the Central bank of Wilcox and the Central bank of Wickenburg.
 The writer will be glad to take your inspector down ana show him the land and everything about the proposition. We need this proposi- tion handled quickly on account of the due date of our interests and the past due contract mortgage on the land. Time is essential as these people cannot be held off for any definite length of time.
 Yours very truly

 INDUSTRIAL WEEK

With the arrival here Monday of the exposition expert whose services and equipment are being considered in conjunction with Industrial Week, plans will begin to assume definite shape for the big event which is scheduled for the week of Nov. to 12.
 The expert will be in conference all day with members of the executive committee and the various sub-com- mittees named to handle various fea- lures of the program. Before them he will lay plans and photos showing in detail how industrial expositions have been staged with remarkable success in California cities, and how the same effective plan can be car ried out here with the minimum of expense and trouble.
 Committees soliciting subscriptions for the ,500. which has been agreed upon as the sum necessary to meet all expenses, report progress. but are not over enthusiastic as to the re- suits obtained to date. There will have to be a more general awakening they declare, as to the benefits that are bound to accrue to Phoenix in gathering the buyers of the state to- gether and letting them see what Phoenix wholesalers and fobbers in all lines have to offer them. The idea has worked out to the tremen- dous satisfaction of all concerned in California. and there is nothing to prevent the same here, claim those who are familiar with the California shows.
 At a meeting of the executive com mittee yesterday reports were re- ceived from the agricultural. citrus industry and other committees in charge of feature exhibits showing a live interest on the part of all A portion of the space, it was decided. will be allotted the American legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars for the purpose of showing war relics and other exhibits of a purely his torical character.
