BLUEPO|NT IS AN
INTERESTING SPOT

One Of the most interesting scenic
trips out of Phoenix is to Bluepoint,
about two miles east OF the conflu
ence Of the Verde and the Salt rivers,
east Of the valley. Bluepoint is on
the Salt river and is one OF the best
fishing sites near Phoenix. In the
summer it is a popular and one OF
the best places for swimming on the
river. 1t is ideal at all seasons of
the year for camping and picnicing
and is visited for that purpose by
many local residents every year.
Bluepoint is reached by way OF the
state highway to Mesa. Go east
from Mesa along the Apache Trail
and turn to the left at Desert Wells
corner. Follow well travelled des-
ert road in a general northeasterly
direction toward the only pass in the
hills in that direction. Take the first
road to the left after going through
the pass. This trip is about S5 miles
in length.
Another favorite picnic spot is up
around Granite Reef diversion dam
where there are many large shade
trees and clean sand. The fishing
here is also excellent.
The best route to Granite Reef is
north on Central avenue to the Arizo-
ma canal, which may be followed
to its source at the diversion dam,
distance of about 35 miles.

bonus received on our recent county
bonds, to construct the much needed
road to connect with cur neighbors
on the west in California, but also to
build roads out to the county limits
north, south and east, by way of
the famed Apache Trail, which
through Government aid is now as
sured as a permanent state highway
Our school system in Maricopa
county is the pride of every prog
ressive citizen. Eastern visitors. who
have made study of education. ad-
wise us that there is no section of the
country which offers to it's young
people greater educational advant-
ages than those of this district.
The hard times have taught us the
need of the utmost economy and
thrift in both public and private af-
fairs, and the splendid cooperative
results of the recent Industrial Con-
ference should lead to such through
going and prudent expenditure of
public funds, and such an insistence
ON the maximum of efficiency in pub
lie employees as to steadily reduce
our tax burden.
Phoenix looks back on a year of
accomplishment We call 1921 year
of Hard Times but the building
records show an investment in new
buildings during the year of $1,820,0 900
including 334 new homes at an av-
erage cost of $4,000 per home. Public
improvements of an almost inestim-
able value, from the standpoint of
public service. have been made dur
ing the past year giving employment
to numbers of men needing work
The continuance of our road program,
and the construction Of the Cave
Creek flood control works will offer,
during the coming year, continuous
employment for many men. The as
surance has recently reached Phoenix
that early in the year construction
will begin on the new Union Station
costing over $1,000 which is another
convincing proof OF the future of
Phoenix. and will give further op-
portunities for employment.
Best of all. cooperation among
the citizens fthis district is steadily
increasing: people have learned to
help one another, and in this spirit
of cooperation nothing can stop the
continued forward progress of this
wonderful Valley where we have the
good fortune 10 live.

CITY HAS CROWN
RAPIDLY As BIG
JOBBING CENTER

A thriving wholesale and jobbine
business is essential to the progress
of any city which aspires beyond
the narrow outlook of village. No
city in the United States of any size
or Importance has attained its growth
without being the jobbing center for
a considerable territory. The terri
tories which these cities serve may
vary in size but are equally important
to the city's wholesale interests.
Phoenix has grown to be a jobbing
center of considerable Importance
and leads the stae in this respect.
A great many smaller towns in the
Salt River valley and mining districts
all over the stae depend upon Phoe
nix jobbers for produce, groceries,
mining and farming machinery,
meats and miscellany of minor pro-
ducts.
Eight miles of track frontage in
Phoenix give adequate railway facili-
ties for warehouses. In the Salt
River valley the railways are sup
plemented by approximately 270
miles of paved highways which
brings distribution to a high degree
of efficiency.
Phoenix is best fitted to take pre-
cedence over all other cities in the
state in wholesaling due to its CEN
trail location, it's surrounding farm
ing land which produce fruit and
vegetables in large quantities. and
the presence of two railroads con-
Meeting this city with all parts of the
state.
Rapid Wholesale Growth
or more than half hundred
wholesale establishments now doing
business in Phoenix, scarcely dozen
were in existence 10 years ago. Here
is table showing the increase in the
number of wholesalers of various
products from 1910 to the present:

In the center rises a ridge of rock
200 feet in height, containing numer-
Gus caves and formations curiously
carved by erosion, one opening named
"The Hole in the Rock" forming a
tunnel. Photographs and other evil
dences of prehistoric occupation add
to the interest.

SURROUNDED BY PEAKS

Phoenix is surrounded by pictur-
esque peaks and serrated ridges The
Phoenix Mountains rise TO the north
west, the Salt River mountains to the
south, the Estrella Range to the
southeast, and tho White Tanks to
the west. Auto roads lead TO many
points of interest-such as Granite

Arizona republican., 1922-01-01

During the past few years many
new fireproof warehouses have been
built in Phoenix by large wholesale
firms, increasing the size of the dis
trict considerably.
The growth Of the many small out
laying towns in the valley is also
causing the wholesalers of Phoenix
to increase in number and enlarge
their present business.

GLANDS CANNOT PROLONG
 LIFE, SAYS DOCTOR

London. Nov. g.-The cycle of existence cannot be modified, moi even by the use of monkey glands.
 Dr. John Mathesou, distinguished English physician. is out to disproye Che monkey-gland theory and he is authority for the statement that medical science cannot abolish, or even greatly modify. the cycle Of eS. istence. growth. maturity or decay.
 Modern specifics. such as monkey glands. radio crystals and the like may encourage and cheer but they do not aEecy longevity, according to the theories og Mir. Matheson.
 Life without disease isn't even pos, slbIe. the doctor believes.
 Physical decay, which of course is responsible for seuiHty, can be ar, rested. Dr. Matheson believes, but not by the use of any nOstrums L-ugs cannot prevent decay, he says
 Longevity, the doctor thinks, may be attained by raising the power of resistance of the bodily tissues to the attacks of germs and their pois- oDs.
 Germs cannot be exierpated. but we may make 1t more difficult for them to grow and multiply" pr, lIathesou said. The greatest sue cess in preventative medicines is found in simple means. he believes. Personal hygiene, fresh air and sun shine give the body ample fOrtidca- i0u against germs, and fl coupled with wholesome food these should lead To longevity, the doctor believes.
 The statement of Dr. Mathesou that sunshine is an aid to the fight against germs had led to consider able worry on the part Of some Eng fish people. who are predicting that this will be the most unhealthy win ter Great Britain has ever seen. This is all due to the rainy summer which has prevailed all over the British Isles. The average sunshine during the summer was less and two hours a day. People were unable to get their accustomed exercise because of heavy rains. Vacations were ruined and the population is nerve worn. It is freely predicted in medical circles that the winter will be an unhealthy one. for the people are not prepared to resist the rigors of the English climate this year.
