The valley has scope equal to the Salt River and it only needs the enterprise of few such men as Captain Hale to open homes for thousands, where vineyards equal to Fresno, orange orchards equal to Riverside, and alfalfa fields equal to the Salt River Valley can be had.
 The force now at work will be in creased in short time. One tlattering item is that the Captain purchases all of his supplies in Phoenix, keeping teams on the road almost constantly.

AN IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.
Canal Project of Captain Hell B.ie Upon
 the Lower Gila.

A very important enterprise is being managed by Captain r. Hale, of Tucson, on the Gila river, about ten miles above Agua Caliente and fourteen miles from Sentinel, the nearest railroad station.
 Captaih Hale in conversation with a REftBLIcAN reporter, said that the canals,would be over fifty miles in length, when completed, and irrigate some seventy-fiye to eighty sections of land.
 The project was begun by the Marshal Canal Company, or the old Toltec Canal Company, and has been superseded by the company now working it.
 The head of the ditch is below the levetof the bed of the river, thus re- lieving the expense of dam, and 40,- 900 miners inches of water can be taken out of the river at it's lowest stage. Most of the lands under the canal have already been located and as the soil is of the richest quality, few years will probably see the Gila Valley car

To the state Crop Statlstlclans Of the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial UniOn
DEAR BROTHERssIn transmitting blank
forms for your May reports as TO
acreage Of farm products, feel that
can not too earnestly impress upon you
and the fraternity the fact that hitherto
spectators and stock exchanges have 10
manipulated the reports of both Federal
and State agricultural statlstlCians as 10
make them false, and instruments sub
serylent TO their own selfish gain, and
have thus been enabled 10 sell and realize
immense profits Ou uGr crops even before
planting or maturity. BY such undue
advantages, millionaires have become
common, whilst the farmers, robbed Of
their just prices, have grown poorer and
poorer yearly, their farms becoming 30
heavily m0rtgagcd M 10 soon pass from
their possession. Thus farm products
Iare fast becoming appropriated by the
operations Of spectators, and unless this
tendency shall be checked, the next gen
Grafton Of farmers will be generation Of
tenants at-will.
Under such serious and impending
conditions IL Is evident that In full de-
velopment Of our strength and fearless
enforcement Of those true and patriotic
principles found In the announced teach
ings and cherished doctrines OF the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union,
lies the prosperity and financial saiety Of
the productive classes OF our common
country, who have 80 long borne the OPP
presssons Of reckless spectators, soulless
corporations, and unjust legislation.
We can hope 20 reach our desired and
wholesome results only through the vital
and harmonious efforts OF every member
of our brotherhood in all Of It's depart
ments.

effect Of our unity, II is essential :hat
