The ArabY Canal.

The Araby Canal which heads about
fifteen miles east of Yuma and has
been completed to within seven miles
of town is now being extended west
ward. The canal when completed,
which will be within two months will
irri9ate ten thousand acres of as fertile
land as the sun ever shone upon. The
entire tract is fortunately made up of
rich mellow soil and being in the warm
belt the cottonwood and willow trees
are but seldom without their leaves.
and to day February 18th, are as rich
in foliage as they can possibly be In
June, The temperature of the Araby
valley is the same as that of Yuma
and with the good land on one side
and an abundance of water on the
other, the results will simply be mar
velous. This section is unsurpassed on
the Pacific Coast for the growing of
citrus fruit and the raisin grape. No
where else in the World, not except
ing that favored spot-Sicily--are
lemons grown to such q state of per-
lection as they are here. Then again
the earliness of our fruits will give US
great advantage over California pro-
ducers; before their fruits are ready
for sale our crops will be entirely dis
posed of. The gentleman controlling the
Araby canal, is successful and CEN
sentative business man, who does not
let his enthusiasm run away with his
judgment, consequently the canal and
its extension now under way will be
carefully and substantially constructed
with view of not only supplying pre-
sent wants, but to be enlarged in the
future when necessity will demand It.
A representative of the SENTINEL,
made a personal examination of the
work two days ago and reports that
the ditcher. which is now In operation
Is simply accomplishing wonders. The
plough is worked by fourteen horses
and will make at least one mile of
ditch per day, without any difficulty
at ALL The ditch as now being run,
for present needs-will be ten feet
wide at the bottom and four feet deep.
The work is being pushed along
and the canal will probably reach
Yuma, by February 2Sth. The com
pletion of this work will be the inaugu.
ration of new era for this town and
the earnest efforts which the SENTINEL
has made for Yuma will soon bear the
fruit of progress and prosperity.

Statehood.

The Denver Times says: Arizona
is working for admission as state
into the union. She would do better
to direct her energies to advertising
the possibilities of the Colorado river
valley. That valley cultivated, as it
might &c, in oranges, lemons and apri-
cots, could support population CT a
half million.
The Denver Times is right. Arizona
is not ready for statehood and two
thirds of the taxpayers of the Terri
tory are opposed to assuming the
responsibility which state government
will necessarily entail. The move
ment is premature one and cannot be
successful for some time to come; let
US encourage immigration, thereby
settling up our fertile lands and in
due time Arizona will be fitted to join
the galaxy of states.

had effected their capture. The men
were immediately taken to Yuma ar
irving here Tuesday afternoon, and tbs

cient officers az Holcomb and Arboii
