A GREAT PROJECT.
New Cotton District Being Developed
Near Tucson.

near tucson.
Tucson - Rapid development
of the Continental District, 30
miles south of here, into an i'm
portant agricultural section is
forecast by officials of the Ari
zona Industrial Congress, who
have been looking into the farm
ing possibilities of the southern
part of the state.
Following an effort to develop
the section as q rubber growing
project some years ago. Cont
dental is now becoming a cotton
growing center, with plans we'll
along todevelop it by pumping.
\ Development of the district,
which is on the Tucson-Nogales
line of the Southern Pacific and
the main Tucson-Nogales high
way, was started in 1919 by an
outside syndicate in an effort to
produce rubber on a commercial
scale. After giving promise of
success, the experiment failed
several years later owing TO
queer twist of fate that produced
unusual climatic conditions at
exactly the wrong time, and
nothing more was done with the
project until within the last
year, when a large tract was &C
quired by the Ivey Dale Owen
Company. a Texas group which
took over the rubber company's
wells and equipment.
Approximately 5000 acres of
cotton we're planted by this com
pany this year, and the crop has
made such excellent progress
that a production of 1000 bales
is new expected. Next year it
is pls nned to plant 1900 acres,
and in time the company will
have its entire holdings of 80, 1000
acres in cultivation.
Wate r is supplied to the pro
ject from ten wells, of which
four are operated by electricity
from u small plant in the dis
trict, and the others by gas en-.
gines. A good supply of power
at moderate rates is the dis
trict's chief need, as it would re
suit in more rapid pumping de
velopment, and the Industrial
Congress is assisting in en-
deavoring to interest power in
terests in entering the field.
The water supply is ample, and
near the surface.
A 6 stand 20 saw gin, describ
ed as the largest of it's type in
the state, is being installed by
the Ivey Dale Owen Company
for operation this season, and
spurs and platforms for shipping
have been put in by the S. p.
Although the company plans
full development of its holdings,
it expects eventually to colonize
the project and dispose of the
land, with water rights. in mo
derate acreages, aiding settlers
in financing their early opera.
tions, so that a modern and we'll
populated farming community
will result.
Besides the Ivey Dale Owen
project. two other large tracts in
the Continental district ore be-
ing developed, one being owned
by Lee Moore, head of a large
Ell Paso contracting firm, and
the other by E. G. Stevens, of
this city. The three are contig.
uous, and with the addition of

BIG MEN COME TO ARIZONA

Arizona has been fortunate for,years in having
influential friends who spend their winters there,
and sing the praises of Arizona winter climate to
other friends alternating in the east and north.
Vice-president Marshall, that was, who Win
tered at Scottsdale, Arizona and talked Arizona
climate at every opportunity, was worth a fortune
every year as a.walking advertisement for the
state.
Charles K. Velie, automobile and farm machin-
cry manufacturer, has been spending his winters
in Arizona.
Cyrus H. K. Curtis, head of the Curtis publica-
tions, is in Chandler now. He got the jump on
the winter leaving Philadelphia before its arrival
John Galsworthy, noted novelist, has been in
Tucson recently.
These are but few of Arizonas friends-val-
liable friends, kindly, and worth retaining It is
suggested that Arizona arrange with the United
States weather bureau to have the sun shine
every day during their stay, and keep the tenn
perature consistently between so and 80 degrees

CONGRESS TO HAVE BETTER WAR OVER
DRY LAW, PREDICTED

A Washington correspondent predicts that
there viii be bitter war in congress during the
next session over the enforcement ofsthe dry law.
He says:
DRY enforcement will be one of the issues
raised in the next congress. The opponents of
this Statue are preparing to wage bitter tight on
the tax on beverages in the new revenue bill. The
recent action of certain dry assemblages making
suggestions that the president would be party to
the notification of the prohibition amendment
has received a telling blow The president
spokesman discloses the fact that the president
is in favor of the prosecution Of all violators of
the law, no matter whether they are big or little
violators. He feels however, that the greater eff
fort should be made against the big men in the
illicit liquor industry, because they are the ones
who control the supply. 1t was pointed out that
the department of justice, with it's very limited
force, is doing all it can to enforce the law and
punish the violators. Many supporters of the en-
forcement law resent and condemn most force
fully some of the sracastic utterances used recent
ly at Chicago and New York by some of the lead
ers of the "drys."
Those opposed to the enforcement law claim
that there has been a change of sentiment re-
garding the "dry" amendment, and when the
revenue bill is taken up they will have an oppor-
tunity to present their side of the case.
'"The leaders of the ''drys" are fully awake to
the fact that real fight will be carried on at the
coming session of congress Some of them are
threatening to try and force through measure
that would result in the forfeiture of all private
supplies of liquor in this country supplies that
were secured before prohibition became effective.
They also are debating if methods cannot be en-
ployed which will compel enforcement of that sec
tion of the Volstead law which makes it just as
illegal to buy liquor as to sell it. The fight prom
iSes to be most bitter one"
We doubt if the reasonable thinking people who
prohibitionsts from principle believe that the
habits of millions of people can be changed in the
twinkle of an eye by merely. passing law.
However, that element whose living depends on
prohibition, demand that the government perform
a miracle. 1t is not matter of principle. with
them, like the bootegger it is pelf they are after
Laws do not prevent murder Or robbery. All
the churches in the land have been trying to
change the habits of men. Can law do it in
one full swoop?

THE GRAND CANYON OF ARIZONA

THE BLATANCY OF IGNORANCE

to the increase in his knowledge. Wise men are
generally modest, unassuming, quiet and consid-
crate in demeanor and department.
The coroary is that the less some men know
about a subject the more inclined are they to be
cocksure, certain, pugnacious and irrefragable in
the expression Of opinions
Men who know what they are talking about
usually express themselves in quiet, dignified
tones and are willing to listen to and respectfully
consider the remarks of anyone else on the sub
siect. Others reveal their ignorance in loud Ian
guage and much pounding of tables or other con-
venient objects.

OUT, DAMNED ROT

When General Riley, after listening to large
batch of legal bunk which seemed to be getting
nowhere in the Colonel Mitchell case, said
Damned Rot he hit popular chord that tuned
in all over the United States. He was just a
soldier sitting as judge and his remark may
have been indiscreet but the world knows he was
right. Many dignified judge has thought it and
worse but did not have the courage to say it.

"Why not ?" retorted the foreman,
Because there's only you and me

A daily paper is a mighty handy thing to have
in a town, but it can only be successful when the
business man feels that it is good business to do
six times as much advertising as he has been do
ing in weekly When that comes to pass, a
weekly can afford to pay for six time stunt in
stead of one. If the business is in sight the live
business man will go after it day by day in a
daily. If not he can't afford it. The Nogales
Herald wisely suggests that going from daily
to weekly does not indicate Arizona is going
backward-it is merely wising up to the game in
stead of wild eating.
