PUESCOTT, .5.61 Register.' 400,000 ACRES OF THE MOST FER- TILE LAND IN THE WORLD NOW BEING IRRIGATED— OPENED TO THE SETTLER. Tho fame of the fertile country now known as tho Yaqui River Delta, of Sonora, Mexico, extends back many I decades. Early travellers talked about I : the wonderful fertility of UIORO lands and historians have written of them ha the Nile Valley lands of America, j Now comes Kdward H. Harriman, who recently visited that section, who, un- ropcrvedly declares that tho west coast of Mexico generally, and tho Yaqui River Valley particularly, offers jreater inducements to the settler than any other section on tho Nortn Am- erica Continent. In his interview with the "Times'' man, Mr.| Harriman, In speaking of the Yaqui Valley, said: "The soil is as rich as that of Im- perial and will grow everything that flourishes in the tropics. We expect to have cotton, all fruits and a constant output of products." in speaking of the attitude of the Mexicans toward the Americans who ' are settling there, he said:"Qreat Lib- erality is the policy of the Mexican Government toward American capital. In fact, their entire trend is to be fair and honest. If any of you want ' to get out of this part of the country, there is the place to go; such soil will grow anything." The history of Mr. Harriman's life I and remarkable success, proves him ! to be a very shrewd and far-sighted j business man and one whose advice it would be safe to follow. j So much for Mr. Harriman. Now j for a few facts regarding the country ! lie was so impressed with. i In the Yaqui Valley fruits, vegeta- j bles and staplft products mature and ripen from one to three months ahead of Imperial and Sail River val- ieys. There are 365 growing days in the year and 300 days of sunshine. The climate is ideal and health con- ditions perfect. The much dreaded Calentuia or Mexican fever districts lie further to the south. The Yaquf River Valley is close to vast, timber and coal resources and the CONTEST NOTICE. Department of the Interior, U. S. Land Office, Los Angeles, California, April 16, 1909.

Markets for all products are at hand, tho local demand has never been supplied and the United States is continually drawn on for food Htuffs and other supplies. The Yaqul valley is several hun- dred nillos nearer Eastern centers than Lob Angelos San Francisco or Seattle. Eight to ten cuttings of alfalfa are made yearly. It would bo twelve were it not for the two rainy months in mid-summer. Watermelons ripen the last of March and cantaloupes are ready for market the first of May. Tho soil is generally a sand mixed silt, forty feet deep and no hard pan or alkali. There are no destructive spring winds to destroy growing crops. No cyclones, hot waves, drougntfv or floods. The land being perfectly (smooth, there is no expense for levelling. There is a drop of about three feet to the mile toward the Coast, which is just right for irrigation. Water for irrigation of the valley is taken from the Yaqui River, an* an abundance for all time is assured. Delicious water for domestic purposes, pure and pparkling, can be secured by sinking wells from' 27 to 55 feet. Shipments of produce can be made by both rail and water. The lands of the Richardson "Construction Com- pany are now being sold for $25' per acre, and on the most liberal terms. No charge is made for a water right. Water service charges are 50 cents per acre foot. Call at the El Ceiitro Hotel and look over our maps and literature and let us lalk it over.
