New Canal PrOJectd.

Sheriff O'Neill of Yavapai county, who is largely interested in the new Buckeye canal, informs the editor of this journal that work will probably begin by the middle of May, on the new enterprise, which is another canal some miles outside of the old one, and which will take in several hundred thousand acres of elegant farming land. The intention is to complete this proposi- tion so that the land under it will be available for crops next winter. When finished, this enterprise will add not less than two million dollars to the assessed valuation of the county. The construction of this canal, if it goes along as soon as anticipated, and and there is now no reason why it should not, together with the building of the railroad to the north during the fall months, will make Phenix a lively place during next season, and that the railroad will be built, there is now no doubt. Should Congress fail to remove our disabilities in the line of the subsidy, another very certain way has been found to promote that enterprise-build the road. There is too much at stake, too extraordinary a region of country to be opened up be tween Phenix and Prescott, to allow the want of hundred miles of railroad to interfere with the development of such vast interests, nor will it. Tbe road is certain to be built, and that within the next two years, Harrison Act or no Harrison Act to limit our enterprise The Buckeye canal, the northern railroad, and an important water storage proposition, arc all vast enterprises that the people of the Salt River valley will see accomplished facts before thirty-six months more roll round; more than that, there will by that time be about 300,O0O orange trees getting ready to bear in in this valley, beside numerous and important, though less conspicuous improvements, and affairs of general development will be going along. None of these enterprises are now problematical; they are all in sight, all gathering themselves together with remarkable rapidity and are as ccr- tain to come as that day dawns, are as sure of success as that we have n valley offering such inducement. There can be nothing else than sue cess in a country like this. One thing we lack in our immediate view, and that is the line of road from this city to San Diego. This we must have however; it is as much of necessity to us as any other enterprise projected in the valley, its immediate vicinity is not however, so much felt, hence it is not pressed to !he front.-Phenix Herald.

MT. Flower On Irrigation.

Roswell P. Flower, the democratic congressman from New York, made a very limited examination of the arid lands problem during visit to the Rocky mountains last summer, and now he bobs up serenely in congress and opposes everything which has in view the reclamation of western lands by water storage or any other method wherein the national government IS expected to lend hand MT. Flower belongs 10 that superficial class of eastern statesmen who believe that the country is going to the demnition bow-wows because of the lover pro duction" of fruits of the soil. He admits that irrigated lands produce the largest and best crops, and on this account he thinks no relief should be given in the way of encouraging the farmers in the west, and points out how manifestly unfair it would be to the poor eastern farmers. Mir. Flower depreciates the fact that the railroads, by giving western products fair rates to the eastern seaboard, has well nigh impoverished the eastern farmers. He owns up frankly to the greatness of the west, its hus;ling its people and its fruitful soil, and practically pleads with congress to protect the east by refusing the west just demand. In one breath he talks of cheapening lands by irrigation, and in another he cites fact that California lands worth origi- nally 50 cents per acre have by the construction Of irrigation canals at tained a present valuation of $500 per acre. Mir Flower appears to be guilty even of attempting to cook his own quoted statistics in order to make a showing against the arid land region Throughout, his opposition is full of weak points, which any western man would have no difficulty in showing ! up.
 The New Mexican has no favor for many of the irrigation schemes propos- el in congress. especially those foster ed by Major Powell of the geological survey, nor does it believe it necessary 1 that an open raid shall be made upon the public treasury to render the west the desired relief. There are other l anu dll dlOullI ldli6l llC states and territories themselves can attend to the details if congress will but provide the machinery, and it will not cost the national government cent.
 However, there would still be large ! balance in favor of the west even were this relief to come direct from the public treasury. One instance may be cited to illustrate: How many millions of western taxes have been squandered by Congress in the so- called river and harbor appropriations, expended almost wholly in the east? It would be but fair, if these figures could be got at, to demand that a like sum now be taken out of the public treasury and expended for the sole benefit of the west-New Mex ican.

ing to the Heather. It is difficult matter to impress upon the mind of the rural man of Arkansaw the ne cessity of paying immediate attention to the heather. During camp meeting in Saline county preacher from Little Rock made an eloquent appeal in favor of the poor wretch who eats harmless missionary instead of eat ing hurtful bulk pork. When the preacher had concluded, an old exhorter arose and said:
 Brethren, I've been nightly interested in this 'lectioneerin' fur the heathen, an l would now like to know something about himn
 Then addressing the minister, who had just taken his seat, the exhorter said:
 Brother, would like to ask you a few questions The boys all say that they are waitin' to see what stand I take, so you won't object to few questions, will you?" Certainly not"
 ''Thankee Wall, now, how's politeness in the heathen's countryW
 "He knows nothing of politeness."
 'Ah, hah. Well, how is the question of capital and labor!n
 There is no capital-no labor"
 "No strikes?"
 "No."
