Show LAST CALL OF GOLDEN ! WEST IS SOUNDED-IT IS LAST LAND CHANCEj The last great call to the tingling pioneer blood of America that offers a chance of obtaining free homestead home-stead lands and properties that have enormous future values; is the 2,-Uj.i.OOO 2,-Uj.i.OOO acres to be irrigated from the proposed Boulder Canyon dam. The greatest service the government govern-ment can do to help repay the ex-sol ex-sol lier and help it's striving citizens to obtain'homes and labor is to build Boulder Canyon dam, which will pro vide homes andl labor for hundreds cf thousands of deserving people. The eyes of the public and the nations grafters are on these last pioneer lands of America and if peo ple do not awaken to the great posi-l.ilities posi-l.ilities that are to come with this gnat development of two million, liKy thousand acres, they will have lc:t the greatest opportunities that have ever or that ever will be inter-et' inter-et' in the history of America. These valuable lands that are to be opened for settlement, rightfully belong to the ex-service men and the people who are striving for homes and occupation. Many of these deserving de-serving people have been too busy to obtain the proper information which would bring them to a realization as to the greatness of this uncompara-ble uncompara-ble irrigation development. The Boulder Canyon dam will provide pro-vide sufficient water to irrigate the - . two . million fifty thousand) acres of fertile and irrigable land in the lower low-er Colorado River basin, and develop r i.c hundred thousand firm horse power. This gigantic development will famish homes and) riches for the thousands of people who are on the grounds in time to obtain a portion of the free lands before every evail-ahle evail-ahle acre is claimed. There will be fortunes to be made in the scores of ci:ies and towns that will rise in those rich valleys in but a few years, providing business locations and oc cupations for people of all classes anl trades. These will be the most valuable , lrr.ds in America. The climate pro- . vU'es a growing season the year arjund, and the early seasons will enable the farmers to market their c.'.ps in the cities over the entire Universe, while the market's local ' crop are not yet in their first ripen-l-.i.T stage, thus receiving the profl-t. profl-t. hie prices that early fruit and vi etables are sure to demandl. Many of the most prominent en-ghieers en-ghieers have made the statement tfcat this land when assured of water, v. !U go from a small speculative! p; ice to ?400 per acre. j Valleys with less natural resource resour-ce i and with poor soil and unfitted climate have by irrigation been trrned into beautiful farms of fruits, vegetables and crops that bring own-c: own-c: 3 great profits; so these fertile bidls, with their productive climate, will be the greatest farm lands in America, with early crops which will ' mand fancy prices in every nation : on the globe. The great Boulder Canyon dam irrigation ir-rigation development will be an extension ex-tension of the beautiful Irrigated vrlleys of California which will ex-t' ex-t' nd them into Nevada, Arizona and c. stern California. In this wonderful centruv of snood rvd progressiveness, the news of tlie j Act of Congress, which will provide' for the building of Boulder Canyon dam, will not travel from mouth to i mouth as did the news of California' r Id strike, but by radio, telephone i :d telegraph, and the news boys v ill receive this new3 from off the press in cities on the Pacific coast fid in all other cities in the United j S ates and abroad n the same hourj t at it comes off of the press in Washington. D. C. And in place of the pioneers traveling to this country of opportunities oppor-tunities by creeping oxen and laden r nerod wagons, the valley will be r lvered in but a short time by i !e carried by purring motors aim v histling locomotives. People will not come to explore fiis country, but will have a desti- ii ition in view and tile one? who ex- ' 'ct to profit b ythis last groat gift ' i his native land will have to nro- ire himself before the bill is passed '''at will provide for the building of , the dam. '; By writing the Boulder Canyon In formation Bureau, 123. So. Broad-v Broad-v ay. Los Angeles. California, most i f the information that will he nee.l-i nee.l-i 1 can be obtained. j Judging from the movements of I the statesmen and the interested public, there is no doubt but that this great project will be provided for and started in the very near future, fu-ture, and I am in hopes that this article ar-ticle will open the reader's eyes to the fact that this is the last and the greatest opportunity to obtain free, cheap lands in the United' States of America and that these valuable lands will be covered with valuable crops and new cities and towns in but a very short time after Congress passes the act that will provide for the building of the Great Boulder Canyon dam. |
