Senator Dolph of Oregon has intro
duced in Congress a bill for the adj
mission of Washington Territory as a
state, including the three northern
counties of Idaho. One more stumb-
ling block is laid in the way of the
passage of this bill by the law creating
female suffrage. The democratic ma
jority in Congress can swallow much,
but not that.

A dispatch from Olympia says the
district court is in session there.
Judge Hoyt strongly intimated that
the law recently passed, known as the
Omnibus bill, is invalid Before
rendering final decision he will confer
with Chief Justice Greene. If correct
in his judgment, great deal of legis-
lation during the past session will
have been useless, especially the or
ganiZation of new counties.

The Olympia Courier says that it is
yet too early to pronounce a verdict
upon the legislation of the late session,
but this may be safely said, that no
vicious or class legislation has been
put on the statute book. Few of the
important laws were changed, and
most of the changes had been found
necessary in the light of experience
OF course, it will cake two elections,
at least, covering period of three or
four years, to give the woman suffrage
law a fair trial, but we have no APP
prehensions on that score. The gen.
tlemen composing the legislative as
sembly were men of standing in their
own communities, whose chief desire
was to legislate wisely, and we be-
lieve no more representative body
ever gathered in the legislative halls
Of Olympia. They gained many warm
and disinterested friends, who will
give any who may ever visit the city
again a most cordial greeting.

We have not yet time 10 re-
view Hon. Pat Hamiitoi's r.
sources Of Arizona. As the

community favored with.a copy
of this work. We are theref,rs

way OF 8 book cover review
however, we would like to ask
the Hon. Pat. what authority he
had for using territorial mOney
to advertise individua al and pri-
vate resources. 1t is OF course
barely possible that Don PatricjC
paid for that part OF the work out
of his own pocket, in which cast
1t is sincerely hoped his generor
sity will be appreciated by the
Territory. But republics are
proverbially .ungratuful, and ne
one should know it better than
the author of the Resources, who
probably expects no remunera-
ton. Such examples OF devotion
to ones country are rare bu
extremely beautiful.

continue; for Yuma posses an in
ducemcnt for an act of violence,
the accomplishment of which
would be of incalculable injury to
the Territory at large. We refer
to the penitentiary, and we de-
sire to call The attention Of the
Prison Commissioners to matter
which we think is of paramount
Importance in:the proper mana
cement of that institution. Two
years age the SENTINEL asked
that such buildings be erected AT
the prison as would provide per
manent quarters for the guards
The utility of this is obvious.
The Territory can we'll affnrd to
provide quarters for these guards,
rent free; but if economists object
to that, a nomical rent could be
charged, which would be much
less than the guards have to pay
elsewhere, and which would still
be ample returned for the money
invested in such a building. Yet
the outlay on the part of the Ter
rItOry in either case would be
very small. While the prison is
now in a better condition than it
ever has been, we still maintain
that it is insecure at night. With
the few men permanently sta
toned on the hill at night, a
plan for liberating the prisoners
could be carried out by a dezen
determined men. 1t is unneces-
sary for us to enter into detail as
to how this might be accom-
plished, but any intelligent man
ought readily to see how such a
delivery cOuld De maze Delore
any help could be summoned or
an organized resistance be made.
To prevent the possibility of such
occurrences ia the chief dutv o.
the prison authorities, and in our
opinion the first step in that di-
rectinn j. To cOHcentl ate the
guards in such a manner that
they will always be Oh hand in
case of an emergency. The Com
missioners have ii in their pow
er to follow up this suggestion,
and we believe il is also duty
they owe 10 the Territory and t.
themselves.

SLTURDAY, DECENBER Is. 1883.

several Rentlehen, TeSldeDts
Of Yuma, have enaugurated
land scheme which has in view
the redemption by irrigation of
the land constituting what is
known as Mohawk valley, in this
county. They have boon occu~
pied the last three months in
surveying and locating q canal
which, when completed, will be
fully twenty miles long. This
canal has lis head at Texas Hill,
on the north side of the Gila
River, and will be carried along
the edge of the mesa bounding
the valley on the north, so that
lateral ditches may be construct
ed to GOV " all the land, which
embraces some forty thousan I'D
acres. Members of the company
have taken up sections under the
Desert Land Act, along the line
of the canal. The scheme will
undoubtedly be success, as cap
ital is abont being secured to
construct the ditch. Hon. George
w. Norton, one of the originals
ors Of the project, is now in San
Francisco, having boen sent for
by we'll known capitalists for q
conference!
The soil of Mohawk Valley is
an alluyial deposit, varying in
depth from eight to sixteen feet,
and experiments have shown
that 1t will grow q wonderful va
riety of products. Barley, wheat,
corn and beans thrive well, and
the production of the two former
cereals averages more to the acre
than in California. The wheat is
also of fuer quality. All this
semi-tropIcal fruits, such as or
Rnges, lemons, figs, dates and
bananas can be grown, as has
been and is being demonstrated.
In this town can be seen tu-day,
IN various private gardens, trees
and plants bearing all these
fruits. Sugar cane grows luxuri
antly and cotton and tobacco have
been raised. Owing to the na-
ture of the climate crop of bar
ley or wheat can be sown and
gathered, followed by crop Of
beans or corn, the same year on
the same ground. Experts de-
clare that rice will do well and
perhaps tea and coffee plants.
Nature has settled the problem
Of irrlgating Mohawk valley, be-
yond dispute or failure. AT Tex
as Hill the bedrock of the ella
river rises to the surface, and
there is always vast quantity of
water present ready for irriga-
ton. The ella was lower this
season than it has heen known
for years, and yet at Texas Hill
there WAS, at the lowest stage, a
body of water over two hundred
feet ia width, and of an average
depth of two feet. Above and
below, for miles, in the dry Sch
son, the water is sometimes lost
in the quick sand, and the nature
of the country will not permit OF
the taking out of a canal. These
latter circumstances preclude the
possibility Of any interference
with the water supply of Mohawk
valley.

gagged in this scheme are DR.. J

Time 10 Stop.

Our attention has been called Ia the
practice OF several young men i'll this
city. whose actions are causing pretty
general comment and quite universal
regret,in the frequency with which they
visit saloons. The habit which is TINS
being INDUCED in 10y Il score Of young
fellows at ages ranging from IL 10 20
years is one which they may learn 10y
sad experience Ia deplorc. There is
nothing which SO dcsrades Il young man
in the eyes Of the public as getting
drunk, and the good standing and in
ilucncc of his parents in the community
do NO. in the least palliate or cxtcnuate
the sinful and demoralizing indulgence
of the son. 1t is time to stop, and stop
short.
1t has also been stated that these
young men procure their beer and wliis-
Ky at saloons. If this he true, vendors
of spirituous and vinoIs liquors are cx-
posing themselves To very serious COM
plications. Toscll minors intoxicating
drinks is in direct violation OF law, and
every transgression of its powers should
be visited 10y punishment. Saloon keep
ers should bounce every minor who pre-
srmes to visit their premises, and il
they do not do So, the police should
take hold of the matter and see that
the statute is ut least respected.
