THE OKLAHOMA BOOMERS. Preparing for Grsnd Rush When the
 Lands Are Opened.

Lands Are Opened.
 Members of the State Board of Rail road Assessors, just returned from trip through Oklahoma, report army officers as saying that thousands of boomers are still concealed in the brush, and that if the whole United States army were there it could not drive them out. Names are taken, but nine out of ten are fictitious Capt. Woodson and Lieut.. Carson are in re- ceipt of telegrams to hire horses, have them saddled and bridled and in wait ing on the arrival of trains at Okala- homa City, April 22d, at noon. The | object is to mount at once, and by fleet steeds distance rival boomers on foot and capture choice claims A party Ilof four Hoosiers, with balloon, are camped near Antelope hills. They will make an ascent this morning, drift in midair till noon, and then de- scend hours in advance of the teams and speedy horses. State officials an- ticipate trouble, and say that the country will be an Fl Dorado for good land office lawyers. The excitement is increasing daily, and all southern Kansas is ablaze.
 The Assessors think that Oklahoma is not what it has been painted. The soil is red and the land is good chiefly for hay and cotton. Oklahoma was surveyed some years ago, but the cor ners are nearly all obliterated now. Settlers taking up claims will find 1t | difficult to describe them when they go to the land office to make filing, and this will give rise to innumerable contests. More will grow out of fil- ings by boomers who staid in the coun- try against the Presidents orders and will come out of the timber on April 22nd and file anyway. Contests set tied at first by .Winchesters will after ward have to come up again in the courts. The outlook for the country and the boomers is not Arcadian by any means.

Advantages of IrrigS ton.

As the work of development goes on the true value of land, in central Arizona, for cultivation becomes bet ter understood. In the past four years the arabic area has been increas- ed four-fold in the counties of Marico- pa, Pinal and Florence, by means of irrigating canals. It has been demon strated that the water supply was more extensive than ever imagined, or rather that by applying it to the soil a system of storage is naturally estab
 fished. We mean that when canals have been taken out from ten to twen- ty miles above tue heads of the origi- nal ones, the flow of the river at points below does not appear to be impaired, but on the contrary, the seepage into the natural channels seems to insure a more uniform supply. This expert ence, together with the fact that fields which have been under cultivation for four or five years require about fifty per cent. of the amount of water nec
 essary to the production of crops on new lands, leads to the belief that our agricultural capacities are just begin ming to be understood and appreciated Desert lands or tracts brought un- der cultivation by irrigation have many advantages. In the first place there is very little expense necessary to the opening of farms. There is no | heavy timber to be removed, and sell dom any great amount of brush. The growth of vegetation is very rapid in ! our southern climate, and in the time man would occupy in clearing off a sixty-acre tract in the timbered regions I of California, Oregon or Washington about the only lands open for settle ment-an elegant home can be estab- Gshed here and profitable crops secur- ed from orchards, vineyards, fields, I pastures and gardens. Nor is this all, by any means. The production oi crops are absolutely certain; harvests may be very nearly regulated at will the productive season extended througout the entire year, and the ne cessity of fertilizers obviated, as its functions are performed by the water
 The production of fruits in central Arizona ranges from the crab-apple o
 the north to the dates of the tropics | nearly all small vegetables yield very
 prolific. Wheat, barley, alfalfa, sorg
 hum, sugar-cane, etc., find congenia home in this salubrious cline, ant Rthe land owner is enabled to select z pursuit according to his own liking.
 In view of these facts, and the inter
 ests now being developed in the ques tion of irrigation and the subject o water storage, it is not difficult to pre- dict the future of Arizona as an agri cultural region, and it Is certain tha
 in the next five years she will mak
 more progress in this direction thar , since the time she was ceded to tn
