SUMMER PARADISE
 |S NEAR ID PHOENIX

Phoenix people need not go to Cali fornia for delightful summer sur roundings-r nor for that matter any great distance from their home, in the opinion of Howard l.. Aller, gen. eral manager of the Central Arizona Light and Power company. whose delightful country place is on Groom creek. not far from Prescott. It is the desire of Mir. and Mrs. Aller to spread the knowledge of the beauties of this pine-c clad section so near at hand to all their friends in the Salt River valley.
 The following concerning the beau tiful summer place of the Alters is from the Prescott Journal Miner:
 "One of the most striking country estates to be found in the great Southwest is that of 'Wichaki' owned by the Alters in Groom creek. Sev- enty acres of beautiful forest land. large comfortable lodge, golf links and in fact everything that goes to make life worth living is found at 'Wichaki.' This name was selected by the Alters. being the Pima Indian for place in the north.
 A garden in connection with the home affords the table throughout the season the choicest vegetables.

table raising. Large acreages are to be divided and the farmer owner brought upon the land.
 The water situation in the Im- perial valley apparently is a prob lem. The valley receives it's water, both for irrigation and domestic use, from the Colorado river. Flood con- trol and rebuilding of the intake each year, which has cost S1,000.000. the silt deposit in the ditches requiring enormous expense of dredging. and the conflict between the irrigation district and the 12 mutual water companies, with all the various kinds of politics exhibited makes a most unhappy and unsatisfactory situation. In some cases the water costs and the taxes on the land amounts to s14 per acre.
 Of the land in the Imperial val ley under irrigation" stated Mir. Jones. there are 414,000 acres in the United States and l90,000 acres in Mexico. Good land is offered for from $50 to $250 per acre.
 ''The Salt River Valley is more de- vefoped than the Imperial.- It has better farm Improvements. a better irrigation system and better water administration. There aye better roads here, a better climate and not so much waste land or alkali. It has a better drainage system and is not menaced by the floods of the Colo rado river. Our cities are more progressive and more permanently built, for we do not fear the earth quakes as they do in the Imperial valley.
 Since the irrigation is a political unit where all officers are elected all citizens voting as in the case of county officers, and all taxes are levied on all the lands under the said district, then each mutual wa ter company buys water at cost rates from the district and distributes the same to the farmers So we are bet ter off here in the number of differ ent kinds of taxes, for there they have the county tax, district water tax, mutual water tax, city taxes and water assessments.
 Prices are better in Phoenix thar in Fl Centro," declared MT. Jones For instance, a shave costs 35 cents and a haircut 65 cents. Other things are in proportion. In all essentials such as schools, roads, water sys. tenn, power, taxes. climate, newspa pers and cities we are much ahead of the great Imperial valley"
 During his absence MT. Jones hat opportunity to study the schools O. San Diego, the high school. norma and junior college. getting some nev facts and ideas. As a result of. hi investigation he believes that tht vocational idea should be brough into the Phoenix schools.
 Mrs. Jones and the children spen a month at Jacumba Hot Springs which is located in the mountains between the Imperial valley and SaI Diego.

V.F. W. $ HAVE BIG DAY AT RIVERSIDE;
 NETS ORDER S5OO

Members of the Veterans of For eign Wars and their many friends and relatives turned out enmasse at Riverside park yesterday afternoon and night to observe the day set aside by the local post as the first of a series of annual V. F. w. days.
 The afternoon was devoted largely to social exchanges and a gathering for the "big eats" Selling of an au- tomobiIe featured the card of events last night which included dancing anG other amuSements.
 Throughout the day workers de- voted their time to accommodating as much money as possible as a special fund for the local post. Post Com mander Rolin w. Shaw estimated roughly last night that the net pro- ceeds from the days activities would total more than $500.
 Part of this money will be used to pay for the Phoenix post colors while the balance will serve as nucleus of budget for the rent of the Odd Fellows hall and incidental expen- ditures and for sending a delegate from Phoenix to the national en- campment at Detroit. Mich, Sept. g, 1924.
 Although this organization is com paratively new to Phoenix it's initial public demonstration yesterday at- tracted more than 2,000 people to the park Throughout the week especial attention has been paid by the gen eral public to the attractive display of war trophies which the Phoenix post, Y. F. w, maintained in the windows of the Vic Hanny store. This interesting collection will remain in the windows until noon today.

- Valley Far Better Off Than The Imperial Insists A Phoenix Man Just Returned

Claude Decatur Jones. vice prin- clpal of Phoenix Union high school, returned on Monday from California, accompanied by Mrs. Jones and the children.
 During the three months summer vacation Mir Jones has been train ing officer of the federal board for vocational education, the rehabilfta- ton work the government is doing for the disabled ex-service men in training them for suitable and gain ful employment in which their dis ability will not be handicap in such employment. His work has been mostly in southern California, in san Diego and the Imperial Val- ley counties although some time was spent in San Francisco and north crn Arizona.
 Mir. Jones returns to take up his school work. this being the fifteenth year of his~ connection with the Phoenix high school. He came in 1e0. as head of the science depart ment and athletic coach and direc- tor. and except during the war he has been here ever since.
 The government is doing we'll by the disabled ex-service men in vo- casional training, said NIT. Jones During their time of training, the single men receive from $50 to s100 per month. and the married men $100 to S175. This training consists oi study to become farmers, mechan- ics, supervisors, professional men etc. in fact. for almost every gain- ful occupation according to the it. ness and the likes of the men. Ir the Imperial valley, said Mir. Jones there are more than 100 working to- ward farm ownership under the guidance of the government.
 The federal board has recently been consolidated with the bureau ot war risk insurance and the United States public health service dealing with ex-service men under the Sweet bin into the veterans bureau which will handle all matters pertaining to ex-Service men. he explained

One bullet made flesh wound in the left arm. and another creased his neck. After a mile and half. Mendocio gave up the pursuit, and both later were ar rested.

DISCOVERY OF BONES OF GIANT
 RACE ON SAN PEDRO

Recent rains in the vicinity of Red dington, on the lower San Pedro river, have uncovered the burial grounds of a race of giants supposed to have lived in Arizona thousands of years ago. according to August Ealey. who is working a silver prop erty in that district. Ealey reported the discovery in Douglas last week.
 Ealey told newspaper men he and other workmen in that vicinity had found the bones of the extinct race. One skull was found that was about twice the size of the head of an ordinary human being, and some of the bones of the arm were also found that are about as large again as ordinary arm bones.
 The bones are buried about IS feet under the surface. Remains of charcoal fires have been found. A Mexican found a pair of large ear r.ngs made of sea shells that were still perfect and had been polished to high degree. Ollas and other pieces of pottery also have been un- covered.
 The bones in the big skull are about an inch thick and the teeth are all perfect but had been filed or ground down so that they were very sharp.
 Ealey reported the find to the officers of the university and hoped they would send an outfit down to make a thorough exxamination of the burial ground. He is of the opinion that an entire large skeleton will be found. He estimates that the height of the giant must have been 12 or 15 feet.

LABOR DAY PROVES
 QUIET LINE IN CITY

Phoenix observed Labor day yes terday by resting from labor. Public and private offices were deserted, some stores were closed all day and many in the afternoon; machine shops, most of the garages, laundries and warehouses remained inactive.
 There was no Labor day parade. but the city offered plenty of good, wholesome recreation, an opportun- ity to take he day easy and to get out into the country and note the wonders wrought by the recent rains.
 With baseball games in the after noon and boxing at night, sport fans were permitted to fully appease their appetite, while those inclined to the less virile forms of amusement found excellent programs at all the the aters. Many took advantage of the two days cessation of business, Sun day and Monday, to make motor trips to points about the state and every main highway was kept alive with the hurrying cars.
 It was a real day for the laboring man, a day devoid of cares or wor- ries or the uncomfortable necessity of appearing conspicuously in pub lic-a day turned over to Labor to be used in any manner desired.

Many Phoenicians have been the guests of this hospitable family dur ing the season. Life is made espe- cially attractive for the children. since they ca1 roam in the great outdoors, studying nature at first hand.
 You will see a decided change within the next few years,'' Howard Aller said yesterday. Hundreds of Phoenicians who have been taking their vacations at the coast and else where. are just awakening to the fact that at their very door is a. pine forest 20 miles in area, the like of which, l dare say, cannot be equaled in America.

ARRESTED AFTER
 CAR STRIKES WAGON

Joe Galas. paro,ed prisoner from the state penitentiary, is held in the county jail for investigation as the result of a collision last night be- tween a Ford car and a wagon on South Central avenue near the bridge. Two Mexicans riding on the wagon suffered minor injuries when thrown from the wagon to the pave ment and both horses pulling the wagon were injured, one receiving a broken leg.
 According to the officers, the driver of the Ford car which struck the wagon from the rear. backed his car from the ditch into which it ran and drove away without stopping.
