VALLEY
 IRRIGATION PROJECT

At the suggestion of a mum
 Der of prospective investors
 MT. L. S. Williams paid visit
 last Monday to the lands of the
 Williamson Valley Farms Land
 Association in Yavapai county
 Accompanied by Dr. J. W.
 Osburn and a gentleman from
 Texas, MT. Williams left Will
 Hams at 10 o'clock, and in spite
 of the bad condition of the road
 arrived at the Williamson Val
 ley lands about 2 80 P. M., af- ter having lunched at Ash Fork. The lands are about 35 miles south of Ash Fork and are reached over the Chino Valley road. This road is in deplor-
 able state of repair, MT. Will Hams states, and if work is not done on it immediately there will be no road at all
 In speaking of the William son Valley Farm Company's project. MT. Williams said:
 While I have been through Williamson Valley a number of times, never looked at the val ley from an agricultural stand point before. and l was greatly surprised. There are at least 3O,OOO acres of as fine land as can be found anywhere in the state of Arizona that can be brought under the Williamson Valley irrigation scheme. The soil is a rich, sandy loam, \and anywhere below the proposed dam site water can be encount- cred by digging ten or fifteen feet. One of the best wells I ever saw is located only few feet from the proposed dam. About fifty teams are at work upon the dam at present, and great work is being done. I never saw a better natural dam site than this one! Nature has almost completed the dam itself as only a few hundred feet of concrete would finish the job, were the men behind this pro- ject willing to be satisfied with what many good judges think would be substantial dam. However, they are going a. head and sinking a solid con- crete wall behind the natural wall of solid rock and earth, and in addition to this concrete wall are reinforcing the whole with packed dirt. When com pleted, I am informed the area covered by water will be about nine square miles, and will have a depth average of about fifty five feet. A beautiful town site has been selected on a mesa overlooking the whole of the lands proposed to be irrigated, a depot site selected below the town, and a branch line from the Santa Fe at Del Rio will be constructed I have been over the irrigated districts of the Salt River Valley and Fresno. California. The Williamson Valley project possesses all the factors that have made those districts what they are today, and in addition to them it has this one great advantage- climate. The Williamson Val i ley lands when irrigated should | prove a great asset to Williams l for it will furnish us produce 1 right at our door. In fact it will | be more to us than the Verde l Valley is to Flagstaff, for it will 1 be a much easier and quicker l haul"

FAIR TREATMENT
 FOR J. s. VESSELS
 WILL BE SOUGHT
Shipping Board Representa- lives Will Confer With Brit ish Shipowners In Lon-
 don Tomorrow
By Associated Press

Washington, July S1.-Shipp.ng board representatives will confer with British shipowners in London Tuesday in an effort to obtain fair treatment for American merchant vessels in the award of trade orivi- leges in foreign ports. In making this announcement today, the board said Captain Ferris. the district man ager at London, had been instructed to make strong representation, par ticularly against alleged diserimlna- ton in the awarding of contracts for carrying Egyptian cotton to British sand American potts.
 It was considered probable. how ever, that the conference would have a still broader aspect. and that tf @ board would insist that it's vess els have equal footing with Bri ish ships in the awarding of contracts for the transport Of all classes of freight
 The board is understood to have complained to British shipping ines that American vessels had bean de- nied cargoes of Egyptian cotton, all though in many instances their ids were lower than those of British ships which got the contracts. Cap tain Ferris is understood to have if . structions to not only protest against such discrimination, but to insist that half of both of the direct and indirect cotton shipments to be car ried in American bottoms.
 In negotiating with British ship ping interests, officials here say, the board probably will take the posi- tion that If it's vessels are not as- sured fair treatment, it may be deemed advisable to invoke retalia- tory measure ided for by the merchant marine act.
 Chairman has discussed with Eugene Meyer director of the War Finance Corporation. the pro- viding of additional tonnage for American ships. Mir. Lasker was said to have urged that the finance corporation, in advancing funds for export of American goods, stipulate that they be shipped in American vessels
