The Florence Canal

The Gils Valley IS st present attract ing consljerAbls attention, and VII shortly asseri its claims as sn sgricul' tursl country. This Is due in the main Co the progress made by the Florence Canal, work on which is being prose- eutsd uish ell possible speed. The eon- pany st present are using two sixteen horse ditch excavators on the main canal, and have two smaller ones for construct. ing the latsrals.
 They expect 70 complete ai least Ave miles of the main canal each month and will no doubt reach the fsilrosd by next September. The canal is about fifty feet vide and carries sbous i've feet of water which hes fall of two feet to the mile. About midway bsiwssn Florence and the railroad, the canal will rua into sn immense reservoir, covering 20OO acres, having . mean depth of nine feet. thus creating an snornoos reserve sup ply; ..,s the canal aud its sixty miles ot lsterals. will not be less thsn f00,O00. Al the upper end e great many acres are ale ready under cultivation, and other tracts are being cleared As fast ss possible and tho ground prepared for crops.
 The officers of the company are Geo. N. Pogue, President, and Alfred Evsns Secretary and Treasurer. The money is furnished by Iodisns capitalists of large means who will push the work 10 com plssion. The promoter of the enter prise, and prominently connected with The management, is Mr. D. s. Thomas. of Missouri. Mir. Thomas is very cour- seous and Obliging in showing visisors srouod and importing any desired in- formation.
 The compsny have about made up their minds to construct railroad from the Southern Pacific to Florence and work will DO doabt be commenced within few months. There is An easy natural grade all the way, and the en- pense of grading very small. The amount of freight now handled by team would enable the road io more than pay en- penses from the start.
 The outlook for the valley is very bright and Pima county will rejoice in the prosperity Of of her neishbors.

Philadelphia Press: Here's to the fs- vorite son of Illinois, Wstert Q. Gresham, of Indiana.
 New York Tribune: We must have a Republican Legislature. No Demo cratic Legislature will ever pass high license bill.
 St. Paul Dispatch: IL is said that GreshBm's strength is not at all realized at Washington We suppose not: It will be, though, on and after March i, 1889.
 Providence Jouinsl: Judge Gresham seems to be really the fsvorite western candidate. It Is expected that the Mis- souri sud Minnesots delegation will be m favor of his nomination.
 Peor1s Transcript: Judge Gresham. v says a Democratic exchange. ''csn not carry a single Southern State" Well, no; we suppose not, General Gresham never did run well down South.
 St. Louis Globe-Democrat: General Gresham hRs been a Republican of the radical type ever since the party was or ganized. There Is nothing Democratic about him bus the rebel bullets that be carries in his body.
 S,. Paul Pioneer Press: Gresham con- tinues to lead in the Republican coun- ty conventions of MInnesots. Fully two-shirds of the delegates elected yes' terdsY are committed or friendly to him The domlusni sentiment of the state IL favor of tariff reform is more clearly re veal every day ID the resolutiO ns ot these conventions.
