The Arizona sentinel., 1885-04-04

A very late dispatch from
 Washington, D. O., says that in> formation had been received there on the 2Sth ultImo, to the effect that movement is on foot to overthrow the government of Honduras and to form an alliance of the people of that country with the people of Nicarauga, Costa Rica and San Salvador against Gen. Barrios. The movement is reported to have originated with Marco Aurelio Soto, former Pres ident of Honduras, now in New
 York City. Since Barrios's an DOuncement of his intention to make himself supreme military chief of the Central American States, Soto is said to have been quietly at work trying to break the alliance of Honduras with Guatemala. His negotiations have been carried on through General of the former country,
 with whom he has an intimate acquaintance. The people of Honduras, it is understood, are to Barrios, and are only waiting for an opportunity to break away from him. They are therefore willing to join the force of the Nicaraguan Government to overthrow their own present gov- The Nicaraguan for ces, it is asserted, will namber 5, 1000 or more, and will cross the border line of Honduras and aid in the revolution with the addi- tion of the opponents of Barrios in Honduras. It is said an army of 5000 men can be raised by the states which are allied in resist> ance to the pretensions of the President of Guatemala,

The Mohawk Valley Canal, Etc

The Mohawk Valley Canal Company is sending a force of men to work upon the canal, and the subscription books of the com- pany are now open at its office in
 Yuma. There is no doubt about the construction of the canal, and the result thereof will be of the utmost importance to the conn., pany and the Territory at large. There is no finer body of land eX- isting, than that contained with. in the limits of the Mohawk Val ley, and the water supply is con- stant and more than abundant. The soil is a rich alluvial deposit, varying from twelve to twenty feet in depth, and under the in- fiuence of a climate such as ours, all kinds of products will thrive wonderfully. It has been dem onstrated by actual experiment that the Gila valley, of which the Mohawk valley is portion, can raise wheat of even a finer quali- ty than that grown in any portion of California, and barley, corn, beans, alfalfa, Arabian millet, grapes, berries, peaches, apricots, vegetables and almost all known agricultural products are now be. ing raised. In the gardens of the town of Yuma can now be gath cred, at almost any season of the year, oranges, lemons. figs, olives, dates. pommegranates, citrons, bananas, and other products. It will be but a comparatively short time until the immense tracts of land contained in the valleys of the Colorado and Gila rivers, lying above and below Yuma, will be made to blossom like the rose. The Mohawk Val ley and Canal Company misplaced the entering wedge, and the re- suit will be an era of prosperity for Yuma county, unsurpassed in any other section of the Territory.

Fading Away.

There seems little on which to hang a hope that General Grant will ever recover from his present illness. With all his tenacity and will-pOwer, he seems incapable of successfully resisting the ap> breaches of the fell destroyer. Mental worryment over his finan- cal troubles doubtless has much to do with his prostration. He seems unable to shake off the con- viction that in the failure of Ward & Co.,, his name has been furnished. He would, if he could, make good the losses of every one who suffered by that collapse. It is a sad spectacle, this wrestling with financial difficulties on the verge of the grave by one whose declining days should have been free from trouble and care. If the American people could lift these cares from the Hero's shoulders they would freely do so, but this cannot be and they can but regretfully and sorrowful- ly await the closing drama in a life made illustrious in our coun- try's behalf.

NOTICE OF FORFEITURE.
TERRITORY OF ARIZONA County Of Yuma, March 21, 1885.

To Castle Dome Mining asd Smelling Con.-
 pany, q Corporation:
 VOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED, | that have expended fn labor and improvements upon the Pocahontas Mine, Territory and County aforesaid, in the year 1882, the sum of One Hundred and Twelve Dollars; in the year 1883, the sum Of Que Hundred and Twelve Dollars; in the year 1884, the sum of One Hundred and Twelve Dollars, as VIII appear by the several certificates filed respectively January 22nu, 1883, August 29th, 1883, and December 10th, 1884, in the office of the Recorder of said County.

While on the subject of agricul- ture, attention is called to the future position Arizona will hold as a grape producer. Both soil and climate are especially well adapted to the raising of that fruit, and the fact that grapes ripen here two months earlier than they do in California, and still earlier than in the east, se- cures to us a California and east ern market ata time of year when higher price is always com- manded. There can be no finer climate than that of Southern Arizona for the proper curing of wines, owing to its equable tenn perature and the dryness of the atmosphere, and the same causes operate in the production of rais- iDS.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

0f their representatives in the recent Legislative Assembly, and are being scourged by their con- stituents.
 Fare on the overland route from Los Angeles to Kansas City and intervening points by emigrant trains has been reduced from $50 10 $47.50. The rate to New Or leans has also been reduced from $55 to S25.5O.
 It is stated that there will be 10000 men put in the field imme- diately to fight the Yaqui Indians by the Mexican Government. They will be commanded by Gen. eral Carbo, who is Commaner>in- Chief of Mexican forces of the Pacific Coast.
 Hon. John H. Marion, of the Prescott Courier, is favorably spoken of for Secretary of the Territory. We think the ap- appointment, if made, good one. For the last thirty years he has been trying to hammer some sense into the Democratic party and knocking the Republican party, in its opinion, right and left. We think he should be re- warded for his heroic deeds, if for nothing else, and given the position which he seeks.
 The Gila county representatives to the recent Legislative Assem- bly, Hons. Alonzo Bailey and W. c. Watkins, received a hearty welcome from their constituency on their return home. Their re- ception amounted almost to an ovation and was accepted with considerable degree of gratitude. They were well worthy of it for they were true and honest and represented the people in an im- partial manner.
 The following reductions in postage are announced, to take effect July 1st: Letters weigh ing an ounce may be sent for two cents, the rate now applied to half-ounce letters. Newspapers mailed from the publication office are to be taxed but half as much as at present. The payment of ten cents additional postage will secure the immediate delivery of a letter in any town having 4,O00 or more inhabitants.
 Joe Redondo and ten others are taking out ditch from the Gila river. Scrapers have been sent for, and, in few days, force of men will be put to work. The line of the ditch will be the same as that of the old Figueroa canal, and the head-gate will be near Gila City station. Its length will be about 15 miles and it will re> deem a large body Of fine agricuI- tural land. So the good work goes on.
 We fully endorse the following from the Cochise Record: "The Pima county press may berate Councilman Stephens to their hearts content, but naught it can say will detract one iota from the respect and gratitude felt for him by the people of Cochise. He carried out his pledges to us to the letter, which is vast deal more than can be said of others whom the same journal takes pleasure in pronouucing 'honora- ble men.'"

Land In Yuma County.

The operations of the Mohawk Valley Canal Company call atten- tion to the fact that the day is not far distant when every foot of land in the Colorado and Gila val- leys will be redeemed. Lying below Yuma, on the Arizona side of the Colorado river, is tract of country containing about 50,OOO acres, the soil of which can pro- duce anything. The difficulty is water, and there is not fall enough to the river to justify the taking out of ditches, but by means of pumps and water wheels the land can be irrigated cheaply and well. Above, an immense valley stretches between the two rivers nearly all of which can be irrigat> ed from the Gila, and on the south side of the latter river for miles, lies magnificent belt of agricnI> tural land all easy of irrigation. These lands will all be utilized in the near future. In the past there have been various causes militat- ing against their cultivation, the principal of which were that the country was settled up ny rowing fortune hunters, and at least half the land was claimed under the Texas and Pacific land grant. These causes have been removed in the influx of a different class of people and the recent forfeiture of the grant. The demand for land is increasing every day with a constantly decreasing supply. and it's value is, therefore, stead- fly multiplying. It is safe to pre-. dict that Yuma county will prove to be the most fruitful agricultur- al county in the Territory.
