THE GOLD SPOT
PAYS DIVIDENDS

Business is good in Phoenix!
Never in history has the Salt Riv-
er Valley seen the beginning of
more auspicious summer season.
Business and industrial condi-
tions in all lines of endeavor have
maintained an unusually high level.
Bank clearings in the Capital City
during the month of June reached
total of nearly two million dollars
more than for the same period of
last year and over two million dol
lars more than for the month of
May this year.
Cantaloupe shipments from the
Valley to date number 2,271 car
loads, with an estimated yield of
4,500 cars for the season as COM
pared whit 5000 last year.
Twenty-Five cars of grapes, a sin
gle variety, have moved from Val
ley vineyards into Eastern markets,
representing nearly the total of %
cars for the entire season of 1925,
with an estimated yield for this
year of go carloads.
Lettuce shipments earlier in the
year eclip: ed all previous records,
with the promise of a larger acre
age for the coming season.
Tame hay condition in a recent
survey was rated higher than for
many previous years, with prices
better and satisfactory demand.

been ginned, with the condition of
the crop fixed at 81 per cent of
normal and an estimated increase
in acreage of 5000 over 1925.
Range condition is given in the
latest federal report as 105 per cent
of normal, compared with SO per
cent at the same period last year,
with more cattle ranging the graz
ing lands of the state than ever be-
fore in it's history The condition
of the herds themselves is rated at
60 per cent compared with SO per
cent July 1, 1925. Beef prices are
higher and the Indebtedness of cat
tlemen is reduced.
Nor is this all. Development
prospects of the district are bright
err than at any time in recent years.
Steady progress is recorded on
several large land and irrigation
projects.
Nearly a million dollars has been
made available for the immediate
commencement of construction work
on the Coolidge Dam at San Carlos,
to irrigate $4,000 fertile acres in
the Florence-Caaa Grande Valley.
The Aqua Fria project, designed
to water 100000 acres of new land,
will be in operation Within the next
18 months.
Nearly 5000 acres of virgin soil
in the Roosevelt Auxiliary district
near Mesa is yielding it's first crops
this season.
The Southern Pacific's $15,000,000
main line will be in operation
through Phoenix by October 1, with
the probable removal here of the di-
vision point from Gila Bend and the
re-establishment of emergency shops
in the Capital City.

so THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW

1t is with considerable pride and
satisfaction that we present the
reading public this Midsummer Re-
source Edition of the Phoenix Tri-
bune Many have thought, and quite
a few have said that business and
all other industries are at a stand
till during the summer months in
Arizona, particularly in Phoenix.
In order to disabuse the minds of
some and refute the false state
ments made about the great Com
monwealth of Arizona, we conceiv-
ed the idea of bringing forth this
Midsummer edition which is indis-
putable proof of the prosperity,
growth and activity of all indus
tries in Arizona during the sum-
mer months as we'll as at all other
times
The uninitiated would not have
attempted such a gigantic effort at
this time, but would have waited
for a more favorable season. The
writer came to Arizona in 1906 and
has lived in Phoenix continuously
for the past fourteen years, and
never during the period Of our
abode have we lost faith in this
great and growing state. Now,
more than ever, are we imbued with
the spirit of loyalty, confidence and
mistaken faith in the future of Ari-
zona. Phoenix and all towns in the
Salt River Valley are growing like
the proverbial weed. Building per
mits issued during the month of
June exceeded those of previous
wears bv many thousands of dol
lars and the end is not yet. This
city is a beehive of industry, and
on every street new buildings are
being erected, old ones are being en-
Iarged or remodeled and the popu-
lace generally is preparing for the
great influx of people and business
that will come with the Southern
Pacific mainline in October.
Since this is a campaign year, we
thought it advisable to give our
readers an opportunity to pass on
the merits of the various candidates
for office. During campaign years

Probably one of the queerest liv-

faced OWL captured last week by
e. L. Burns, grocer, $40 S. Alabama
st.
The present owner Of the owl said
1t is the second one he has seen. He
believes it to be a species of eagle.
Burns is keeping the owl in a
crate at his home. He captured
the bird last Wednesday while driv-

bile, he asked persons with him if
they saw 1.-THE Mickey" sitting on a

did. so taking a seat cover from his

The birds face is long and is
covered with hair. It's beak is
extraordinarily long and curved.
When its head is dropped against its
white breast, from the front it looks
much like 8. monkey.
1t can turn it's head completely
around and thus front an adversary
from any side. When Burns tore off

box and brought the owl into the

and then started to fight. Feet first,
it attacked Burns, Topped its wings
and made several passes at him with

GREEN'S LIQUOR
q, PARTIES CAUSE
C. O.'P. ANXIETY
Personal Friend of Andrews
May Force Dry Chief
to Resign Soon.
Times IVdshin0tOn Bureau.
1922 Mem York A rCuue

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Col
Ned Green's liquor parties, given
in his hotel room while he was ppo-
hibition director for Northern Cali
fornia, threaten to have far reach
ing results, not only for himself,
but for his chief, Lincoln c.. An
drews, and possibly for the Repub-
lican party as well.
The Green case, as the latest in
chain of embarrassing prohibition in
cidents, is causing predictions here
that Andrews will resign from office
as soon as he returns from Europe.
Wanted to Resign
In the first place, Congress ad-
journed without giving Andrews the
additional enforcement powers for
which he had asked Andrews
wanted to resign at that time, and
was persuaded to remain in office
only temporarily.
Since then three more occurrences
nave MADE the SITUATION more COM
plicated.
E7A The New York Dwyer case of huge
|1 bootleg rings; charges of corruption
made against the cost guard and
the grand jury investigation of
Green and his confession of drink
ing and keeping a well stocked bar
in his room.
A Personal Friend
OF the three, the last is perhaps
the more damaging tc Andrews.
Green was a personal friend. The
two had served in the Army to-
gether. Andrews had asked power
to name Army officers to all his pro-
hibition posts, and Green was pre-.
