THE IMPORTANCE
OF HANDKERCHIEFS
The same friend IN Paris who has
sent me so many new suggestions
about hair dressing styles and pocket

handkerchiefs. OF course we all know
that fancy handkerchiefs are the
vogue and talking abclt them is really
not in my line, except to this extent,
that the new handkerchief can add
much to woman's effectiveness, and
anything of that sort belongs in my
special department.

FOREIGN CAPITAL
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
ALONG GILA RIVER

Foreign capital has been active
during the past two years in the de-
velopment Of the ella Bend territory,
the ella Bend Land and Cattle COM
pany purchasing 1000 acres, clearing
the greater portion OF il ready for the
planting OF crops and installing
pumping systems and canals Tor irrl-
cation.
The ella Land and Cattle com.
pany, which was originally formed
some years ago, was purchased py
q group of Norwegian capitalists IN
March, 1920. Work was started inn
mediately after the acquisition Of the
land and to date over 1900 acres have
been cleared and made ready for the
planting Of crops.
A portion of the entire acreage was
brought to water by the use of the
gravity flow from the ella river and
an immense pumping plant was IN
stalled to insure water for the entire
project. The pumping plant, which is
a three unit plant, houses two To-
horsepower Fairbanks Morse engines
and one horsepower, and is bullt
on a bedrock foundation. The entire
plant as it stands today cost the
capitalists approximately $llO,0OO
and is reported to be one of the conf
pletest plants OF its kind in this
country. The capacity OF the pump
ing plant is amply sufficient TO irr-
gate the entire 1000 acres all the year
round il necessary, although $50 acres
are being brought to water by the
aid of canals from the Gila river.
One half of all the canals and lat
erals needed for irrigation purposes
are now complete and all the land is
clear and level.
The ella Land and Cattle ranch Is
modern in every respect and is made
as comfortable for the men employed
as modern buildings and convent
ences will allow. The ranch is
equipped with an office headquarters,
living tents and bunk houses for the
men, a large dining room and COOK
quarters commissary, a Delco ight
plant which illuminates the miniature
city and private telephone line from
the headquarters house to the pump
ing plant and to the city OF ella
Bend.
At the present time the ella Land
and Cattle company have planted 300
acres to alfalfa and small grain and
over 1000 acres additional will be IN
crops this year. The balance OF the
land. which totals 1000 acres, will be
planted during the following season
so that by this same period next year
the entire acreage will be producing
great revenue.
The ranch is Thoroughly equipped
with all modern farm tools ana ma
chinery, q portion of the heavy Work
being done with the aid of high pow
cred tractors. In addition TO the
raising of grain the company Is now
raising livestock and will devote its
efforts to the raising OF pedigreeo
stock.
The ella Land and Cattle company
is destined to be one OF the show
places OF tho ella valley, for IL viii
be the last word in modern irrigation
farming and will show the great pos
sibilities Of development OF land that
was once only a. barren waste where
nothing but mesquite and cactus
seemed to thrive. The soil itself is
reported to be as rich as any found
IN the entire state and contains the

$4,000 ACRES IN
GILA VALLEY FED
BY GILLESPIE DAM

The ella valley which adjoins the
Salt River valley is irrigated from the
Gila river through the Gillespie dam
which has proved to be one of the
outstanding engineering features of
it's kind in the entire United States.
The main canal which leaves the ella
river is ~ miles in length from which
adequate laterals have been built for
irrigation Of the entire project which
now embraces over $4,000 acres. The
canals are built for permanence hay
ing cement headgates in all OF them.
The Gila river, from which the Gil
lespie dam diverts its whole body OF
water, is the natural typographical
drain for an area of such vast pro-
portions that it's capacity is obvious
to anyone who has the slightest
knowledge Of engineering. The Gill
lespie dam is so constructed across
the Gila river, with it's concrete
foundation down TO solid bed rock
that not only is the surface water
controlled and diverted to its canals,
but all of its underground water is
likewise made available and utilized.
This dam is 1900 feet long. and with
its shoulders locked in the mountains
on both sides. there is no oppor-
tunity or outlet for the water TO 90
anywhere except TO the canals pro-
vided by this project.
Over 1000 acres of the new land
Just reclaimed by the Gillespie dam,
all close to Gila Bend, has been
cleared and seeded to alfalfa or
planted to citrus fruits or grapes.
The ella River valley is the recip-
lent of the flow of water from a
watershed and drainage area of ap-
proximately $4,000 square miles. It
will soon become known as the Nile
valley of America"
ella Bend has the advantage OF a
mean average temperature through
out the year OF 72 degrees F.. flow
OF mineral waters with curative prop
critics and possibilities for wide
range OF agricultural products.
The ella Valley project embraces a
gently sloping area along the banks
OF the ella river, presenting an ideal
topography for irrigation farming.
Near the center of the reclaimed
acreage is located the thriving little
town of ella Bend, on the main line
Of the Southern Pacific railroad, the
railroad traversing more than half the
length of the project. ella Bend is
a division point and the junction of
a standard gauge line which runs
southwark to Ajo. The railroad
company has completed surveys for
an extension into Mexico which will
place ella Bend 1873 miles by rail
from a deep water port on the Gulf
Of California. Material is now being
unloaded by the state highway de-
partment of Arizona and all evidences
seem to indicate that work will be
started In a very short time on the
new road through ella Bend toward
California. The greatly increased
travel since the completion of the
dam over this road points to the fact
that 1t will soon take its place as the
most popular road for tourists from
eastern points to the coast.

LUMBER YARD ONE Of
MANY NEW BUILDINGS

The Halstead company's new lum-
Der yard and hardware building in
Gila Bend seems to be only the fore
runner of immediate building. Since
the yard was started by this pro-
gressive company other buildings
were Immediately started and it
seems that the people of that vicin-
ity were only waiting on the oppor-
tunity TO start real building activi-
ties in Gila Bend. The original
plans of the Halstead company have
been changed slightly since work
started but each change has been
for the handling of larger volume
OF business than was formerly an
ticipated.
The Halstead company is rushing
the new building TO completion un-
der the direct supervision of one of
the branch managers and will very
soon be able to take care Of the build
ing which is bound to come this
spring.

AUTOISTS Use DAM
APRON As CROSSING

Since the apron Of the Gillispie
dam is now passable at all times,
from 25 to 75 cars go through Gila
Bend each day on the trip to Cali
fornia Prior to the completion of
the dam it is reported that cars TAX
ing this route to the coast did not
average one per week. This added
travel as it rapidly increase will have
a telling influence on the road build
ing campaign, that is now being con-
templated in the Gila Bend district.
The local stores of ella Bend re-
port that this travel has a decided
influence on the volume of business
that comes the Gila Bend way and
that it can be made to mean much to
the city in that it is absolutely for
cash and that the tourists demand
only quality goods.

HIT At GILA BEND

When the free camp ground for

of the people of Gila Bend thought it
was an unnecessary expenditure, but
for the past few weeks it has been
one of the most popular camp grounds
to be found anywhere in the coun-
try. Practically all of the tourists
