Storing Water.

Nearly 20 years have passed since we said in our old paper, the Arizona Miner that the selection of reservoirs in which to store water for irrigating purposes, must, sooner or later, occupy the atten- tion of government and people. Little did we think, at the time we made the prediction, that the Federal government would, in SO short time, take up the matter and provide money to defray ex- penses of surveying the western country for purposes named.
 Ex-Governor Tritle called attention to the matter in one of his communica- tions to the Interior Department. Our delegates, Hon. M. A. Smith, Sen- ator Manderson of Nebraska, Sena- tor Stewart, of Nevada, and other ar-seeing gentlemen elaborated a scheme and have succeeded in getting Congress to make an appro- priation for a survey of the water sup ply, etc., of the west, which will shortly be made under direction of Major Pow ell, who has the matter at heart and will do his best, with the limited means at his disposal, to prove to government and people that it wfR pay to reclaim millions and millions of acres of the best lands in the republic,-lands, which with water, can eaisly be made produce fine vegetables, cereals, forage plants, fruit, cotton, sugar, rice, etc.
 Arizona, owing to her incomparsble climate and facilities for storing water will, undoubtedly, give the greatest re- turns of any State or Territory for mon- ey expended in retaining her valleys and mesas, and as she has received very few favOrs from OOyornmant her r,ooplo have the right to expect proper atten- tion from Major Powell and his assis tants-Courier.

THE Tucson, "A. T,) CITIZEN is rais- ing mild howl of protest because the collectorship of internal revenue for New Mexico and Arizona is likely to go to a New Mexico man, but it fails to give any reason or attempt at reason why it shouldn't go to him. The CITI- ZEN seems to feel certain that Col. s. w. Fisher will be appointed to the place. Over this way we are not so certain about it.-Las Vegas Optic.
 Right you are, and we propose to keep on bowling. The office in question or iginally belonged to Arizona, with head quarters in Tucson, and but for old pap Fisher, who wanted to be near his fam fly in Colorado, would have been here yet. While we would like the office here again we are still willing to wave all claims in that direction so long as it is in Arizona and we are willing TO throw out our tow line to any first-class Ari. zonian that wants the office, regardless of the town he may reside in. Sabe?

YeSler streets, which was one magnif- cent row of fine brick buildings of two
 and three stories, where the banks had their offices. This row consisted of the
 Brown block, occupied by Toklas, Sin

 State block, Arcade building and Yesler
 block on the Central square. All the
 telegraph offices were in the last named.

 building in this block An explosion of
 giant powder was fruitless to prevent
 the spread of the confiagration. Onward
 the fire went, cracking, roaring and al-
 most shrieking, and communicated to
 Toklas. Singerman & Co.'S establishment
 Water gave out, and streams from the
 various hose reached only to the second
 story. The Tacoma fire department had
 come in sixty minutes, but both depart
 ments combined were powerless. An at
 tempt to blow up Union block was now
 disastrous to the valiant fire fighters than
 anything else. All this row of building
 succumbed. The square north gave way
 to the fire easily and soon the roof Of
 the three story Occidental hotel, the
 finest hotel in the city, got abaze before
 the confiagation reached Yesler avenue.
 Toklas, Singermann and O., Coleberg's wholesale grocery, Bank of Commerce,
 Mill Company, Merchants Mill Com
 pany, Seattle Shop Building and Dry
 Dock Company all went, down, and the
 Occidental hotel valued at s4,OOO,OOO. Many other lines of business were lick ed up. The Western Union, Pacific Postal or Puget Sound Telegraph Com panies are burned out, also the building of the Daily Post-Intelligence office The Canadian Pacific Railway Company and the banks locked up the currency coin and papers in fire-proof vaults and left them there to be spared by chance or destroyed with the doomed city.
 Everything south of Union street and west of second, and reaching around to the gas works above Fourth street to Jackson is completely burned. The Arlington and Commercial hotels are destroyed, The estimated total loss in buildings alone is S10,0O0,OOO, and per sonal lossess will probably reach S20,0OO- 900. It is thought that many persons must have perished in the flames. Giant powder was used to blow up the build ings in hope of staying the progress of the flames, but to no effect. It is repor- ed that two men have been lynched for stealing. The loss is now variously esti- mated at from s14, 100000 to s40OOO,OO0.

Early History.

Few countries have a more brilliant and romantic early history than Arizo- na and New Mexico, and few countries are so fortunate as to have such pains taking and talented an historian as Hubert Howe Bancroft. For thirty years he has been gathering material and writing his history. He has search ed every quarter of the world. expend- ing in writing and in the publication of his work life time of toll and million of money Thus the information con- tained in 50,O00 volumes was compress ed into g volumes.
 And until this volume was published the results of his vast efforts and ex- penditures could only be purchased as a whole. But such large number of our people were so anxious to obtain this volume separate from the full set, that the publishers finally consented to devil ate from their former rule, and give this matchless production the widest possi- ble circulation. This will prove of the greatest benefit to our people and of the highest qualification to the world at large, for there are few anywhere who are not interested in our wonderous story.
 The work is deserving of the most lib- 6Td1 SuppOTG. 1b S0Ouiu D6 lQ tue 0aQQ3 of every man and woman throughout the land. As author and historian MT. Bancroft is second to none living. Says the British Quarterly Review, mo his torian has more faithfully painted his heroes, both in light and shade, than Mir Bancroft. In this he shows the rarest power, for he preserves relations, and makes the more marked traits in the one emphasize and relieve the con- trast traits in the other" Indeed the press everywhere are reviewing the work in the highest terms. The Boston Tray- eler, of May 13, 1889, thus closes a colun article: ''The coming States of New Mex ico and Arizona are under heavy obliga- tions to MT. Bancroft for this voluma which without exaggeration, is the most valuable contribution of the year to American history.
