WELCOME TO TUCSON.

THE CITIZEN takes pleasure in wei coming Senator William. Nj. Stewart, of Nevada, and Senator John H. Reagan, of Texas, members of the Irrigation men are distinguished representatives of the two great political parties, and both are westeners who can sympathize with the needs of the country through which they have been travelling for sew eral weeks. Both are recognized as champions of the west and to whom the western states and territories ever look with confidence when they have interests to be advanced or protected.

ACCORDING to a report issued by Reg ister Patton of the U. S. Land office in Los Angeles and published in the Times, for information of the Senate committee, there are in California "13, 155,000 acres of arid land, much of it susceptible of irrigation, lying within thesdistrict. and located as follows: In the Mojave desert, 6,302,OO0; in the Col orado desert, 4,669OO0 acres. He de- scribes the productiveness of many of these lands when brought under irriga- tion ditches, and estimates the millions that would be added to the assessment rolls of the counties if the Government would undertake the work of retaining these lands. The United States would, of course, share largely in this increase of values, so that the enterprise would unquestionably prove sound business venture. The difficulty of undertaking so formidable work by private means is pointed out, and altogether MT. Pat ton has made showing which is enti- tied to the respectful and serious con- sideration of the committee" Arizona, We know, can make an equal or even better showing, but let us hope it will not rebound to the disadvantage of the present generation. The reclamation of the vast bodies of desert lands will bring millions of dollars into the coffers of the country, and furnish homes to tens of thousands of people. An abun- dance of water will make the desert blossom as the rose. Vast stretches of land can be made productive that to-day lie parched and bare in the sun, lands that to reclaim are without the pale of private enterprise, and offers financial solutions with which only the Govern ment can grapple. It is to such lands, We hope. the Government will confine its investigations, as the withdrawal of such lands will work no hardships to would-be homeseekers, nor retard the gradual development of the Territory.

THE day of Arizona's greatest prof- perity will be wrought by the plough share. The permanency of agricultural resources is the wealth of any land. We have large areas of fertile land now in its virgin state, and with its productive capabilities untried and unknown. The beautiful mesa lands, stretching away for miles in an apparently unbrozen plain, possess a soil equal if not superior, to Southern California. The rainfall of Arizona is fully equal to that of Calfor- mia, while its distribution is better ad- apted to the cultivation of crops. A tract of mesa land plowed and planted to grain upon the first rainfall of the winter season, is almost, certain to pro duce a bountiful crop without artificial irrigation. Vines and trees planted in suspicious season will likewise flourish with very little care But with artesian water, Arizona will bloom in manner to throw California in the shade, both in quality and quantity of product.

SHOULD some of the enterprising cap- italists of this city conclude to test the feasibility of obtaining artesian water in Tucson, and earn the reward offered by our city council, the greater portion of what is now called desert land could be transferred into one vast garden. The success attending the drilling of artesian wells, even upon the higher lands in Southern California, affords hope that the same happy result can be obtained here. It was only few years ago that the less inviting valleys in Southern Cal ifornia were supposed to possess no value whatever to the agriculturist, but since it was discovered that artesian water could be obtained, towns, villages and cities have sprung up with magical growth, and thousands of happy homes exist where the jack rabbit and horned toad were supposed to possess an indis
 putable heritage. The demonstration that the underground currents of South. ern Arizona can be brought to the sur face in sufficient quantities for irrigation purposes would be worth many millions to our territory, and the possibility of reaching this hopeful result ought to inspire contributions from the abundant source some of our people are blessed with, in a practical test of the matter.

Death of D. D. Hall.

Another of the pioneers of Arizona has past over the great unknown be- yond- Last night at Leyin's Park, while sitting in chair, MT. D. D. Hall suddenly and quietly breathsd his last, without the slightest sign of illness to those who were near him at the time. Dr. Hollowbush was at once summon ed, and on examination announced heart disease as the cause of the death. He was removed to his home and will be buried this afternoon at o'clock by the Masonic lodge of this city, MT. Hall being prominent member of the diff ferent branches of that order.
 MT. Daniel ID. Hall came to Arizona in 1874 and located in Tucson in 1877, where has lived almost constantly since. He was man that was always to be found and ready to help when help was needed for worthy objects of charity. Those who new him best in life, will more keenly appreciate the loss sustain ed by the community in his sudden demise. Honest, frank, true friend and without an enemy,he was respected by all. Besides his various connections with the Masonic fraternity, his name appears as one of the charter members of Arizona Lodge No. 1, A. o. U. w, and the ranks of Negley Post G. A. R. have also lost beloved brother.
 Mir. Hall leaves a wife to mourn his loss, but his many friends will extend to her all the comfort that is possible to bestow on earth. Recently, deceased has been engaged in re- claiming 6 large body of land beyond Silver Lake and has spent much money in experi- mentiEg with the centrifugal pump, mention of which was recently made in the CITIZEN, and was meeting with suc- cess that bids fair to prove a lasting benefit to the Territory.

swHArwILLTHEHARvEsTBEr

The all absorbing feature of conversa
 tion to day was thevisit of the Senate
 committee on arid lands, several oi whom, notably Senator Stewart, are well
 known to many Arizonans. As pre-ar- ranged, they were waited upon by the various committees, who acquitted them selves becomingly. It is difficult how ever to foresee the result of the senator
 ial visit, and probably nothing will edti- nltely be known before the next session of congress, when report will be made and action taken thereupon. In the meantime Arizonians will be kept on the gridiron of expectancy. From state ments made in a public meeting last evening, by Judge w. H. Barnes and Hon. Brewster Cameron, both of whom have carefully investigated the subject, there seems to be an almost expressed desire to abolish the desert land law un- der winch agriculture in Arizona has been brought to its present prominence. Granting that abuses can creep into the law as it now stands, is no justification for its eradication from our statutes. Let the loop holes through which schem- CTS and speculators creep to abuse its wise provisions be closed by just and equitable amendments, but do not abol ish the act that has done more to make Arizona what it is today than all else combined. Capital must be given suffi cient inducement to invest, and had not such inducement been given, the great ditches and canals that carry the life giving fluid for the redemption of the Salt, Gila, Mohawk and other valleys would never have been built But for the Desert Land Law, where fields and vineyards now flourish the unproduc- tive desert would l.old possession as of yore. This fact we hope has been inn pressed upon tine minds of the committee and that they have left us with a thor ough knowledge of the wants and re- quirements of slow growing but pros porous territory.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 4-Among the first witnesses examined today in the Nagle case, was T. E. Williams, for
 merly city editor of the Evening Post. 1 He testified that he visited Judge Terry
 when the latter was confined in Alameda
 county jail year ago, and that during the conversation Terry threatened to pull Judge Fields nose or slap his face. Witness suggested that Judge Field might use weapon, when Terry inti-
 mated that he would be pleased to have
 Field attempt to do so.
 T. ID. Wlggington testified he visited
 Terry in jail, and Terry said he would
 kill Judge Sawyer ii it was necessary. | A letter from Attorney General Miller
 to Marshal Frank directing the latter to provide proper protection for Justice Field and Judge Sawyer was submitted,
 and Marshal Frank testified that he ap-
 pointed Nagle and two other deputies to protect Justice Field, on his arrival June 11th. He instructed Nagle to ac-
 company him and look out for the Ter
 rvs, and as Terry was no ordinary man it would be difficult to control him and
 he might have to act quickly.
 The case was continued until to nor
 row morning.
 WASHINGTON, September 4-J. c. Pill
 ing, acting director of the geological
 survey, made report to the secretary
 of the interior of the progress made dur ing the month of July in the survey and reclamation of arid lands west, under the topographic division. The total area
 surveyed was 3,650 square miles, opera tion being continued in California, Colo rado, Idaho, Montana. New Mexico and Nevada. In hydraulic division one field party in California commenced a thorough survey of Clear lake with d view to ascertain the capabilities as a reservoir site, and ascertain the best means of storing water and applying it to lands below its outlet. It is thought
 by the construction of dam two miles
 below the lakes outlet large body of
 water can be stored at very moderate cost.
 NEW YORK, September A City of Mexico special to the Times says that the Mexican government has revised it's
 custom tariff, and has imposed heavy duties on imported cattle, swine, sheep, mules and goats. This measure cannot fail to..have the most disastrous effect on the business of supplying that city
 with meat from this country; The duty is 10c per kilogram on fresh meat; 8 on each beef animal; S225 on pigs; g on
 mules and 35cts on sheep. Decree goes
 into effect Nov. 1st.
 KANSAS CITY, September 4.-Peters & Company, packers, deny the truth of the dispatch from Mexico to the New York Times, to the effect that there is no duty on imported cattle. The packing firm of Swift O., also says that duty has been imposed for some time.

Be Merciful to Yourself.

And heed appeals for assistance put forth by your liver. when the organ is out of order Among these are distress in the right side and through the right shoulder blade, yello vness of the skin and eyeballs, furred tongue, sour breath, sick headache, and, above all, irregu- larity of the bowels. The mercy you ex- tend to the afflicted organ is wisely shown by prompt course of medica- tion with HOstetters's Stomach Bitters, most genial of alterGhves, and the hep atic gland early reciprocates the deser- ed attention by resuming its secretive functions actively and regularly. Among the accompanying goed results are re- newed digestion, freedom from head aches, and resumption of activity of the bowels. All bilious symptoms disap- pear, and appetite and sleep improve. Beneficent are the effects of the Bitters in malarial disease, kidney disorder, rheumatic ailments and nervousness.

THERE is always demand for good mines. A property that shows sufficient inducements to become legitimate en- terprise can always find a purchaser. The only proper plan for prospectors and miners to pursue is to develop one claim until it becomes mine. If it is good it is fortune; if it is not good, the sooner the fact is learned the better.

The Cruiser Charleston the Fastest Wai
Ship Afioat.
SANTA BARBARA, May 12.-The cruiser
Charleston left port this morning, steam
ipg south for sixty miles and turning
north again, went ahead under full head o.
steam, making an average speed of eighteen
and one-quarter knots, with a develop
opment Of 800 horse power and 107 revo
lutions of her engines. This record wsI
maintained for period of seventeen
minutes, and after careful computation by
the government engineers and other nava
officers on board. This is the first time
that the official record has been taken o.
the cruisers speed in connection with hel
horse power development. and establishes
the fact that as the Charleston stands she
is one Of the fastest modern fighting
machines ahoat, not only of her type, but
inclusive OF the entire class of cruisers in
American or foreign nsvies.
The starboard high preesures slide which
developed some hard spots in the steel on
the trip outward from San Francisco, and
which, it was hoped, had been eliminated,
compelled the starboard engines TO lower
it's speed and the highest development Of
steam power for four continuous hours,
was therefore made impossible. The port
engine continued to run at full speed for
more than an hour, it behaving perfectly,
but was then slowed 10 about 80 revolu'
tious, under which speed both engines
were driven till the ship had returned to
her anchorage off the port tonight.
