A Road to Yuma.

If the people of National City can
build road to Yuma they will con-
fer an inestimable benefit upon them
selves and the whole bay region. But
they ought not to undertake it alone.
Yuma has as much interest in getting
to tide water as San Diego has in
connecting with the Southern Pacific,
and the labor and expense ought to be
equally divided If Yuma is not yet
heartily enlisted it is time for Ma
tional City to send committee over
there and see if work cannot be begun
at both ends. That would help the
project materially.
1t is the general opinion at Ma
tional that nothing can be expected
of San Diego" But we are not so
sure about that. San Diego does not
take much interest, any more, in
paper railroads and steamship lines;
but it is ready to assist any project
which seems to have substantial
methods behind it. If National really
means business, and proves it, San
Diego will not be found wanting.
And if there is anything that this city
can do to help National arrive at
satisfactory basis of procedure. the
Sam feels sure that the Chamber of
Commerce and the local capitalists
will attend to it. There is no rivalry
between the two cities. We are all
in the same boat on the same bay

estimate that is everywhere regard
ed as conservative, that the irrig-
able land of the Central West, now
wholly barren, will make eight
States like Indiana, and Colonel
Hinton, an expert of the survey,
estimates that twenty acres of this
land, cultivated under irrigation,
will produce as much as 100 acres
of land under the. average Indiana
culture. This would enable the
whole irrigable area to support forty
times the population of Indiana

Prolific Alfalfa.

Doubt is often expressed by thos,
who are practically uniformed con
corning the facts as to the truth O
many OF the statements published
with reference to the marvellous pro
ductiveness of the soil of California
and neighboring Territories. Farm.
ers from the East, for instance, who
are accustomed to being satisfied with
single crop of hay annually from
their fields, are puzzled and incredul.
Gus when told that on this coast thew
can readily cut from four to eight
crops, and that the same marvellous
productiveness will continue year
after year. The wonderful growth of
alfalfa in suitable localities has been
noticed many times in these columns,
yet it is always well to notice any
particular cases in order that proof
may be given that the statements are
not chimerical. The Yuma SENTINEL
mentions case in that section which
is especially worthy of notice. Last
November Mohawk valley farmer
planted eight acres of alfalfa. The
seed was scattered at the rate of
twenty pounds to the acre. A good
stand resulted, and in April the grass
was ready to cut. The eight acres
produced twenty tons of cured hay.
In the early part of June it was cut
again, and this time the crop amount
cd to twenty-four tons. On the lst
of July the grass was thirty-two inches
In height and nearly ready for another
cutting. 1t is safe to say that the
field will yield crop each month un-
til November, and perhaps later, for
many alfalfa growers have harvested
crops as late as December.
At least seven crops will be cut
this year, which will average a little
under three tons to the acre. Con-
'idering the heavy crop likely to oc-
cur later, it is safe to put the aver
age at fully three tons to the acre, or
total of l6S tons of hay from eight
acres in single season. 1t costs 81
| ton to cut, cure and stack alfalfa
lay, and in Arizona, where the scene
# this instance is located, it will
'eadily sell for SO to SIS ton, and
S often quoted at $40 to $25.
1t must not be supposed that this
S by any means an exceptional in
tance. In many parts of California,
where the climate is adapted to the
'est development of alfalfa and the
water supply is abundant, equally as
God results are often secured. The
writer has himself harvested alfalfa
light times in a single season, and
ecured large crop each time. This
annot be done in all parts of the
'tate, it is true, but there are large
reas in which this experience can be
epeated.-S. F. Chronicle.

Colorado River Road.

Late news received from the Colorado
river surveying party state that Chief En-
gineer Stanton was at Lees landing, July
9th, intending to start through the Grand
Canyon on July 9Th. The route thus far
has developed no grade over sixteen feet
per mile, with an average rise of FIVE feet.
One quarter of the grading could be done
with pillow and soraper. Some tunneling
and few bridges will be necessary. The
president is confident that the road will
be built at once.

Arizora's unequaled Climate.

In the combination of those mete-
geological conditions which go tc
make up salubrious climate, Arizona
leads all other divisions of the United
States, as perusal of the records of
the Government Signal Service will
abundantly attest. While Arizona
may be said to possess two distinct
climatic Zones, showing a wide vari-
ance i'll temperature, owing to diff
ference In altitude, yet these desirable
conditions are found to prevail to an
eminent degree throughout the Terri
tory, VIZ: A remarkably dry atmos-
phere, an unusual number of clear
days, and an absence of sudden and
extreme changes Of temperature.
The record of the Signal Service for
nine years at Fort Grant, Camp
Thomas, Fort Apache, Prescott, and
Yuma, gives the percentage of relative
humidity at those stations respect
lively, at Al, 81, 81, 81, 45,-an aver
age for the five stations Of 48.4, which
will approximate very closely the
average for the entire Territory. The
significance of this exhibit is apparent
when it is known that in the whole
territory covered by the United States
Signal Service, only eleven other sta
tions, divided between six States and
territories, show relative humidity
of Sc or less.
The Gland of sunshine" as applied
to Arizona, has become somewhat
trite, yet its appositeness is apparent.
1t is well established fact that in
some portions of our Territory the
sun shines every day in the year,
while at no point, probably, is it en-
tirely obscured more than one or two
days in the 365. According to the
Signal Service record, Yuma, Arizona,
enjoys greater amount of sunshine
than any other spot on the North |
American continent. The record |
there for twelve years shows an aver
age of 277.3 clear days, and 70 fair
days, and the least number of clear
days recorded in the Territory are
2l0.3 at Fort Grant, which is also
credited with an average of III fair
days in the year.
Among the fifteen stations in the
United States having the least daily
difference of mean temperature, Yuma
and Prescott find place, and their
in this respect over other
towns in Arizona is SO slight as to be
scarcely appreciable. Indeed the ex-
emption from sudden and extreme
changes of temperature, from violent
and destructive winds, cyclones, biz
yards and northers is remarkable,
guaranteeing complete immunity to
life and property from the destructive
force of the elements, so frequently
in other less favored Sec
lions of the country.
Without any risk of exaggeration
Or fear that the statement can be re-
;uted. it may be asserted that for
the prevalence of those at
nospheric conditions which conduce
% bodily health and comfort, the
climate of Arizona is incomparably
to that of any other portion
If the United States.

WITH few exceptions the entire
press of the Territory has pronounced
against the proposed holding of the
Constitutional convention. A ma.
jority of the electors of the Territory
are opposed to the measure, believing
that Arizona is unable to afford the
expense of Statehood, the assessable
property being as yet insufficient and
population too small. The presenta-
ton of constitution to the people of
Arizona for adoption, means bitter
and useless campaign, threatening ad-
ditional taxation, thereby discourag
ing the investment of outside capital
and checking desirable immigration.
