YUMA is so situated that she canno, get water from either the Colorado or the Gila rivers. In place of this two pumping corporations are at work, 10 irrigate by pumping, one of them al- ready has pumps up and water running The other Company are expecting to put in much larger pumps and to carry the water to the higher mesa. At the Needles too, they are at work on the ditches, and soon expect to be irrigating and are planting orange and lemon trees, and expect boom. Down the Gila river several canals are in process of construction, and all expecting to raise fruit. Where, Oh where in the race for wealth, is the Salt River Val ley? Some say that the alfalfa grows so higltthat the Salt River Valley peo- pie cannot see the progress going on around them. Something certainly is wrong with the man who can settle down to $l5 when with Hitting his hand he can take Sl ,001. Open your eyes and see our fruit pictures in this and other papers. You can do even better. We mean the Salt River Valley man each and every one of you-you can with the land you have, more than equal California in any of it's pro- auctions. Try five acres, it won't cost you much. If you can't do so for want of knowledge or any other reason; advertise that you will give half or any other amount, to any one who will take forty or eighty acres and plant it to fruits, forty acres in fruit is worth your entire GAO in alfalfa and will bring you more revenue and less trouble. Six hundred and forty acres in fruits will give employment for from sixteen to twenty men, or more accord ing to the fruit raised.
 Six hundred and forty acres of alfalfa will barely support twenty people, GAO acres of fruit will support 200 people in comfort. 64) acres of alfalfa takes as much water as 5000 acres of fruit, which willasupport fully 1OOJ persons, we are rich in land and poor in water. "Mul- berry Sellers eye-water," we hear you say. 6ou cannot laugh down facts. The same talk was made against California, yet, just these facts are the practical re- suits there, and if you will get the al- faifa seed out of your hair and eyes you will see that we are right.

 In 1890 e0,0O0, 900 pounds less of for eign wool were imported into this coun try than was the case the year before.
 It is possible with some care and trouble for every farmer to have profita. ble duck ponds and fish ponds Given only brook that passes through his farm and does not dry out in summer and he can work wonders. At intervals along the stream one may build dams and excavate ponds. Either pond may be built alongside the brook and water conducted into it or the bed of the stream itself can be damned and exca. vated. Galvanized wire netting at the entrance and exit of the water of the pond will prevent the escape of fish.
 Shade your fish pond and duck pond with trees, either fruit or nut.
 The lst of January, 1901, there were nearly 43,5O0,0OO sheep in the United States. Of these more than half belong in the eight states of Texas, Ohio, Cali. fornia, Oregon. Michigan, Montana, Col orado and New York Texas is the head sheep state, with, in round numbers, 5000, 900, the rest of the states following in the order named The territories ol New Mexico and Utah have together more than 5,000,000. So we are becom ing a wool and mutton producing coun try.
 Fish will devour greedily almost any thing that a human being will, if it if thrown to them in small bits. Bread and cereal products are good food foI them. The young fry to stock pond can be obtained from state fish com missioner or from the United States fisi commission at Washington.

CALIFORNIA fruit has captured Eng land. Latest rates to arrive in England. are Is 5d to Ss 5d for apricots and Ss Cd to 9s for peaches and pears. A year or two ago any one predicting this would have been laughed at. And where, oh where, is the Salt River Val ley rates to any place, even the home market comes from California. Salt River fruits ought today to be quoted in England, higher than any other fruits. Let this valley get move on itself; !; time is called.

WAS IT ACCIDENTAL.

An inquirer writes from Nogales ask ing what was the outcome of the "acci- dental" meeting of three Federal off, cials there last week immediately on the return of George Christ, from the east. We do not know, and do not care, as parlor meeting and star chamber conferences are an abhorrence of the Republican party. Those engaging in them generally fear the honest express sion of opinion of the entire party on matters which affect it and as a rule are sat upon, as they should be.

A New Lighthouse Burner.

There was recently exhibited in Dub lin n new burner for lighthouse use, pos sessing twice the Illuminating power of the largest burners now employed. It is calculated that this new burner, in con- nectfon with specially devised system of lenses, will transmit light equal to about S,000,000 candles, which far ex. ceeds the most powerful light at present used.-New York Times.

In recent Russian trials to test the adaptability of snow breastworks against an enemy's fire, it was found that thick ness of six feet was perfect protection against bullets fired at 300 paces. Packing the snow anG pouring water over it to make crust of ice was found to keep bullets out when the thickness was only three feet and one-half.
