estlng article in National Finance. His
article, in part, is as follows:
An average of a house and a half a
da.y for the last 400 days Is the con
struction record of Phoenix, Arizona.
The population, over 18,000, is growing
very rapidly, Phoenix is essentially a
home city, it has the resources of the
eptire Salt Hlver valley to support it
and it is naturally very prosperous as
a community. The most beautiful
square in the southwest is accredited
to Capitol square at Phoenix. Public
buildings in Arizona have cost to date
over 81,250,000, of which the capltol
cost $250,000. The building could not
not now be duplicated for almost twice
the amount.
The real estate transfers for 1008-0
were over $7,000,000, an Increase of 82,
000,000 over the previous year. Build
ing permits are going up at great rate;
the figures for 1008-0, $402,705, will
nave an enormous increase in the year
ending 1009-10. Post-oflice receipts for
the year ending June 30th, 1010 will to
tal about $06,000, against $55,000 for
the previous year. The assebed value
of the property in the county, Marico
pa, in 1000, is given at $16,007,520.53;
this is about one-third of the market
value. In the recorder's ofllce at Phoe
nix the fees for the month of May, 1010
reached 82,455, an increase of 25 per
cent over the foes for the same month
a year ago.
A bond issue of 8400.COO of 4 per
cent bonds for sewer work has just
been carried by the voters, and an issue
of $172,300 of 5 per cent twenty-year
scnooi oonus sola at a good premium a
week or two ago. The .National Hank
of Arizona is just completing its new
building, which cpst over $150,000, and
the Phoenix National Hank is expend
ing a large amount in alterations and
extensions to their building. The new
Y, M. C. A building, representing an
investment oi over $1:25,000 will open
in a few months. Plans for a federal
building are under way. This struc
ture will cost in the neighborhood of
8170,000. The Water Users' association
will erect a water tempje at a cost of
830,000. Plans have been drawn for a
building for the Hoard of Trade work.
This will be commenced at once. Hail
road activity is evidenced in all direc
tions. A new line to California, the
Arizona vfc California, giving Phoenix
and the Salt River valley fifteen-hour
connection with Los Angeles, opened
the 1st of July. Interurban electric
lines are being carried the length and
throughout the valley in all directions
from Phoenix.
Alliance will Buy Plant
From The Omaha. Bee.
Alliance, Nebr., July .24. (Special.)
Friday at a special meeting of the citv
council it was finally decided to buy the
electric light plant from the present
owneis.
When the franchise was given by
the city in November, 1902, to the
Electric Light company an agreement
was made whereiu the city held the
right to purchase the plant any time
during July, 1910.
It was also at that time agreed that
if the owners did not care to accept the
price offered by the city a hoard of ar
bitration consisting of three members
were to render a decision. This board
would be selected as follows: One
member by the owners of the plant,
and one member bv the city couucil,
and the third member to be chosen bv
the two appointed members. The
decision of this bonrd will be final.
The city has made a formal offer of
f14.841.21 for the plant. Whether
the offer was accepted or rejected can
not be stated yet, but it is a settled
fact that the city will in the near
future own and operate its own power
plant.
Personal Items from Broken Bow
who have not paid the subscription in
advance.
Editor Faye, of Lyons, Iowa, has
been summoned to Washington to ex
plain why he is sending papers through
the mails contrary to the postal laws;
that is, sending papers to persons who
have not paid their subscription in ad
advance. An inspector had visited him
two months previously and examined
his subscription list, which was said to
be pretty thoroughly paid up, but
evidently it was not satisfactory to the
postal authorties.
The Tribune editor has no desire to
be called on in a-similar manner and in
order to prevent it has decided to re-'
move from its subscription book all
names where the subscription is not
paid up. We have only a few, but
from Editor Faye's experience it would
appear that a few are just as bad as a
large number, in the eves of the
government. This is not because we
desire to discontinue sending the Tri
bune to you, but because we are com
pelled by the postal laws to do so or
else be denied the privilege of the mails
at second class rates. Those who
want the Tribune and know themselves
to be behind on subscription should
not delay in making payment. Hv

Can Trees be Successfully Grown
in Box Butte County?
By J. P. Barger.
Before I answer the above question
I expect it will be necessary for me to
introduce myself to the people of this
county- 1 am an Iowa nurseryman
and haye had twenty-five years' ex
perience in this line of business. I
am going into the nursery business
near Alliance and establishing a nurs
ery here to make a success of it.
In regard to the question of growing
trees without irrigation. I have been
in Alliance about six weeks and while
here have made a great many obser
vations ot the way trees are now being
cared for and the way they grow with
the care and under the present methods
of caring for them here.
I have noticed that the people who
plant and care for their trees properly
and do not irrigate them have far bet
ter trees than those who do irrigate.
There are only a few in Alliance and
Box Butte county who have trees who
do not irrigate but they are the ones
who have the best. Of course, if the
trees are improperly planted and not
cared for in the right way it will re
quire irrigation to keep them alive. A
tree properly taken care of must be
cultivated. However, it is not as much
work to cultivate a tree as it is to ir
rigate one.
The last of April and fore part of
May of this year I planted fifteen
thousand grafts and forest tree seed
lings near Alliance. I have been told
on good authority that the month of.
June was the drvest that has been seen
here in 20 years. However, these grafts
and seedlings went through this dry
period in much better condition than
thev would have had thev been in Iowa
with the same conditions I have a
good stand of nice growing trees out of
these and they have had absolutely no
irrigation. This is the best evidence
that I know of that tiees can be grown
successfully in Box Butte county with
out irrigation. There are other things
in Box Butte county that are against
growing more than the lack of moist
ure. One of these is the hrowntail
moth. I will in a future article take
up this pest fully and will give the best
known methods of exterminating them.
My opinion is that thev are the worst
drawback to trees that BoxButte count
ty has.
