PAGE TEN (Section Two) THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN. FRIDAY MORNING, MAY I'd, 1921 BOUSES IN OF COAST FINISH SURVEY Southern Californians Con fer With Local Man and ; Examine General Condi tions in Valley After having met with Dwight B. Heard in a series of conferences concerning: business conditions In general in trie Salt River valley, and the probability of a closer commer cial relationship between Arizona and Southern California. "William VE. Clayton. vice-president of the Spreckels Interests in San Diego, and . r. (anHHs. vice-president of the San H flfVo&AriJiona railway and a direc tor in me Racine jLiecinc ranwny system of Los Angeles, left last night for the Pacific coast. Clayton ana GSllls have been here since 'Wednes day morning, having come from San Mero in the private car "Carriso Gorge." to examine business condi tions here. 'in conjunction with their survey of Phoenix and the Salt Klver valley it is understood that they made a cursory examination of the street railway system here, but only as a Cash for Diamonds Diamonds for Cash MACK GARDNER Diamond Broker 45 North Centrar part of their general view of condi tions. Both Clayton ana onus are well known in the street railway world, the former because of his con nection of more than a quarter of a century with the street railway sys tem i Pan Diego, and the latter be cause of his position with the Pacific Klectric system at Los Angeles. Tn discussing conditions in Arizona, particularly with reference to the future. Gillis. who has been connect ed for many years with the Southern Pacific Railroad company, and who has played a large part in the work of development which has been car ried on by that railway system, be came enthusiastic yesterday over the possibilities which are concentrated in the so-called San Juan Basin, situ ated -where- Arizona, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico are joined, and over the benefits which must nrcrue to Phoenix if the wealth of this section is developed and opened to the world by adequate ran connections. "The San Juan Basin, he said, "is destined to become one of the most important industrial centers of the west, and it is not unthinkable that Phoenix, through the extension of the railroads now entering it, may. make the basin contributory to its prosperity in a definite manner. Possibilities in Basin "The Basin contains, in the first place. 1.000,000 acres available for agricultural purposes, and of this amount more than 400.000 are now supplied with canals and water. With the proper conservation of the water supply, at least 1.500.000 acres in ad dition may be put under cultivation. But this is only a Part of the poten tial wealth of the Basin. It contains immense deposits of the best grade of steam coal and cooking coal west of Pennsylvania, which are sufficient in quantity to take care of all the re quirements of the Southwest and the Pacific, coast. The development of these deposits and the entrance into the Basin of a real railroad system is bound to be of incalculable value to Arizona, and especially to Phoenix, if this city is to awake to the oppor tunity which will soon be upon it. The Basin at present is tapped only ' by a narrow gauge railway composed The Greatest Watch Value Ever Offered In America This Beautiful 14-Karat White Gold Wrist Watch Only $35.00 For several weeks we have been negotiating with one of the largest watch houses in the country for a quantity of these beautiful 14 karat white gold watches but the demand has been so great for this watch that only a very small portion of our " order was filled and we were really fortunate in getting the few that we did.

"The development of the San Juan Basin will depend largely upon the construction of a railroad from De fiance. Colo., on the Santa Fe rail way, to Durango, Colo., but this does not mean that Phoenix should not reach out for the wealth that is wait ing for her and should bestir itself in getting Into rail connection with this unfailing supply of prosperity. "Now, there is also another feature which should be taken into consid eration by Phoenix in examining the possibilities of the San Juan Basin. In San Bernardino and Riverside counties. California, there have been discovered deposits of iron ores which are as extensive as any others in the United States. Phoenix lies between the coal "of the San Juan Basin on the one hand and the iron of California, on the other and where iron and coal can be brought together, fortune pours out her best and greatest prizes." Mr. Clayton concerned himself more in the discussion with the gen eral business outlook and indications of what the future holds in sore for the southwt. Future Markets in West "The completion of the Snn Diego & Arizona railway," he said, "has meant, in a greater degree than, per haps, anything else, the commercial solidarity of the southwest, and par ticularly of Arizona and Southern California. In tapping the great pro- I duetiveregion of the Imperial Valley, ) the San Diego & Arizona has only started its work. Alreadr great! part of the passenger traffic to Southern California, is going over this road from Arizona, and with the passing of every day it is exerting its influence to a greater degree in the commercial life of this section of the United States. "Tt is undoubtedly true that Ari zona Is finding more and more an outlet for her produce on the Pacific coast. More than this, the Far East Is calling for her cotton and her cop per, and it will be a matter of only a short time when this state will look to the Pacific and the lands beyond the Pacific for her markets instead of to the eastern states and Kurope. 'In developing these markets, Ari zona will have to deal through Southern California, not onlv because of its proximity, but because of the rail and water facilities which are being built up in better shape each year. Arizona is already linked to San Diego by one of the finest rail way systems in the United States, and the course of travel and ship ping is steadily southward." Talking of business conditions in general on the Pacific coast, and es pecially In the south. Mr. Clavton said : Business Fair on Coast "Business is fair in Southern Cal ifornia, with a general average bet ter, I think, than the rest of the country. . Southern California is never hit with extremes of either good or bad times. During the boon days of the war and Immediately after. Southern California did not see me orgy or spending that was notice able in other portions of the country, nor aia it see tne relaxation of ef rort which followed. The tourist Dusiness of 1920 was exceptionally good, and -while indications ooint to the fact that it will be much less this year, there are grounds for hon ing that it will not be a complete failure." Mr. Clayton, who find. It fin tn keep any mention of street cars or street railways out of his conversa tion, said that he . and fJillis bad looked over the system in Phoenix, but without any idea of interfering in its affairs. He spoke in a general way of the needs of the system, par ticularly with reference to the co operation which may be given a street railway system by the public and by the governing powers, and, declared that In demanding better service, extensions and improved equipment, the consumer of trans portation must realize that he must pay the bills, and that the conduct of a street railway must therefore be ' considered by the operating company dua me puouc strictly as -a, business j matter. In which the question of a just and fair profit to the company must not be lost sight of. Mr. Clayton and Mr. Gillis left last evening for San Diego. It is prob able that their investigations here will be resumed some time in the '"''". ir. Clayton saia, but he was unable to give a definite time.

"The rapid exhaustion of our na tural gas supply through criminal negligence and reckless extravagance, resulting in drastic restrictions in or der to conserve what little we have left, brings us abruptly to a realiza tion of the situation and leads 'us seriously to query regarding possible substitutions for this remarkable na tural fuel," says Dr. Fernald, former ly engineer in investigations upon gas producers for the United States geological survey and the bureau of mines. "The situation is acute. It is there fore imperative webegin exhaustive investigations to determine the most practical solution of the industrial problem that have been for mt.ny years past so vitally dependent upon our natural gas supply. The result reached through such investigations mas- lead into channels quite different from those under consideration at the present time, as the necessity of the situation may develop unt hough t of possibilities. "Our natural gas situation is a serious one. The solution requires more than the casual financial inter est of the private dividend seeker. It requires systematic study and re search involving the expenditure of large sums of money. It is a problem of national importance and must be attacked on a broad basis. It calls for the best thought and most ser ious consideration of the ablest ex perts available, financially supported from sources that will guarantee the results of the Investigation to be free from industrial or commercial bias. "It has been estimated that two decades will see the total exhaustion of the natural gas supply. We can not afford to wait longer." Philadel phia Inquirer. MACHINE WASHES DISHES Dish washing hours, like washday nightmares, have been dispelled by electricity, a9 demonstrated in dealers booths at the Electric show. The type of dishwasher On dinnlnv Is designed cleverly. It is of table cabinet style. In shape, size and form it caters to the whim of every house T'ife "to bury the dinner dishes so they won't glare hideously at me the next morning.'" , The enameled table cabinet not on ly caters to that temptation, but lends some degree of magic.
