AriZOna'S Great Dam.

The next year promises to be one of unexampled prosperity to Arizo
 ma in general and to Maricopa coun- ty in particular. It is now a set tied fact that we shall have a north and south connection between the Southern and A. & P. railroads in the near future, and it is also quite certain that the arabic lands of the county will be largely increased during the next two years. Active operations are being undertaken in the Gila valley looking to the recla- nation of some fifty or sixty thous- and acres in that fertile valley, while it is proposed to reclaim 175,- 1000 acres, all the good land not covered by water.
 The Agua Fria Water Company will, by the construction at and above Frog Tanks, store the waters of Agua Fria and reclaim that body of land in the valley lying north of the Arizona canal The upper dam when completed will be 40 feet high and will impound thirty billions of cubic feet; the lower dam, located at Frog Tanks, will be 100 feet high and will i'm pound eight billion cubic feet of water. This territory drained is 1900 square miles, over which the annual rainfall is officially report ed to be 15 inches thus guarantee ing a quantity of water not only amply sufficient to supply the mines of Cave Creek and to reclaim all the land under the proposed canals, but also to furnish large body for the other canals during the occa- sional scarcity in the summer months.
 The land reclaimed is the best of our orchard and vineyard lands, well adapted to oranges, wines, al- mond and deciduous fruits of all kinds. Any forty acres of it in fruits or vines will give an indepen- dent income to it's fortunate pos sessor. It Is not too much to say that it will furnish homes for twen- ty thousand people. To construct these works will require an outlay of large fortune, but the invest ment is safe and the interest as sure as upon governmental bonds. The enterprise is in good shape. The surveys and estimates have been made. pr. J. W. Evans who owns large interests in this valley, associ- ated with other capitalistsin the east, have taken hold of it and everything augers well fors the completion of this, the most important work of public improvement ever underta- ken in Arizona.-Phenix Gazette.

A Correspondent of the Star writing from Fort Huachuca says
 "At a point near Fort Huachuca I find our soil and climate not only adapted to all the eartern vegeta- bles, but with the aid of irrigation producing vegetables superior in quality and quantity to those of the eastern and central western states. 1 have successfully grown in my garden this year cabbage's, carrots, onions, beets, celery, salsify, toma- toes, squash, green peas, asparagus, caulifOwer, lima beans, early corn, egg plant, artichokes, lettuce, par snips, pumpkins, turnips and water melons, and cantalupes of different varieties and of the most delicious flavor. x
 The beet also grows wonderfully in this country; they are very large in size and very sweet in flavor; so we'll adapted to our alakali soil is this vegetable that l am sure it will be grown in the early future in Ari- zona on large scale for sugar. For thIs reason 1 have watched it's growth with the greatest interest and the result is fnlly equal to my most sanguine expectations"

IN the death of G. II. Oury ono of the old time citizens of the Ter ritory has gone the way of all the earth. Among the old citizens of the Territory no one was more gen. orally known than the deceased. He was an Arlzonian of nearly thirty years. A lawyer by profes- sion, he was honored by many po- litical perferments, as district at torney, probate judge, member of both branches of the legislature, and was twice elected as delegate to congress, and since his return to his constituents was elected district attorney of his county. His term expired at the close of tbe past year. Thus are the old pioneers passing away.-Tucson Star.

Two men met in Tombstone last night who had not seen each other in fifteen years. When they had talked together for ten minutes they discovered that they had both been on a coroner's jury in Mon tana which to say the least was a remarkable one. The case was one of a man found drowned in the Yellowstone river, his body was brought to the coroner's rooms, the jury summoned and the body ex- amined. In the hip pocket of his overalls was found a colts six shooter and in another pocket a $20 gold piece. The Justice who was also the coroner as is also the rule in Arizona at the present time, fined the corpse the S2O for carrying concealed weapons and then went on with the inquest.-Prospector.

Acting Governor Murphy has re- spited the sentences of r. Nelson and Antonio Grinado, both convict ed of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged on the 18th inst at Clifton. The respite is for thirty days. The grounds for the stay are that the Grand Jury was an illegal body and the indictment invalid, Nelson and Grinado mur-- dered their wives and children Nelson when drunk, Grinado through jealousy. The new flaw covering grand juries changed the number from 12 to r as a mini mum, and as there were only fif- teen members on the jury that found the indictment, the prisoners may eventually be freed.-Epitaph.

OUR DIsGRACEFUL ROADS.

In spite of the wonderful COM
mel cial and industrial progress
OF the United States, we are still
to : large extent using the same
soft, dusty, muddy country roads
THAI served our remote ances-
tors. Reorganization has done
more to remedy this surprising
state OF things than the League
of american Wheelmen; and it's
secretary, Mr. Isaac 3. Potter of
New York, has a word to say in
the November Forum about the
evil and its cure. He considers
thai the cost to the farmer, of
cariing his produce over the
"rolghened streak OF soil'' that
serves US for a highway, is no
small factor IN the existing agri-
cuitaral depression, and points
out that the cost OF maintaining
proper public aSon roads,
though great, is more than re-
paie to the community in the
enhanced value OF adjacent prop
erty alone. This position he
supports by statistics. 1t is to
be Hoped that Mr.. Potter and
his co-workers will succeed in
rousing our rural communities
to the disgrace Of a condition of
things which inakes us the laugh
ing-stock of European travellers

CL2vELAND'S CHANCES M.
PROVED.

The South will OF course be
Democratic no matter who is
the nominee, for that is the
South's only chance, but the cleo
ton shows that there will be no
northern states to help the South
if any alteration is made in the
sound money plank OF the ma
tional Democratic platform, and
ii the nominee is not a man to
give IL saand CONSERVATION to
that plank.
Cleveland is the very foremost
Democrat before the country
whom the country will trust in
that respect, and therefore these
elections seem to us to greatly
improve the chances for the re-
election OF the only non sectional
president we have had since the
war, Grover Cleveland.

INdERSOLL SAYS BLAINE rs
NOT A CANDIDATE.

Col. Robert G.. Inkersoll came
very near creating a sensation
at the Pacific Hotel Sunday
morning by saying that Blaine
wasn't a candidate for the presi-
dency, and that the Maine man
himself had said SO.
emo, sir, / won't nominate
Blaine in the Republican conven-
ton next year, said the famous
unbliever, ''for the simple reason
that Blaine is not a candidate,
and he has said SO. He does not
want it."
"To whom has he made that
declaration" was asked.
ooh, well, l don't know" the
Colonel replied, with a laugh.
On politics or religion he had
nothing to say, and, although
fresh from New York, he declared
he knew nothing of politics in
in that State. ''I'm here soley
on business, and am paying no
attention to politics. he said.
Notwithstanding his declara.
ton that he is paying little at
tention to politics, it is believed
Colonel Ingersollis watching the
drift Of affairs closely. He was
in New York the day Blaine pass
ed through that city on his way
to Washington, and he may have
met the Secretary of State and
received an intimation from MFR.

declaration this morning that

THE SITUATION IN NEW YORK

The Democrats have carried
the State of New York, electing
Mr.. Roswell P. Flower, their
candidateforgovernorship.T This
result is OF great Importance
from the point of view of nation
al politics. 1t means that the
Democracy will work with un-
firing zeal and the best prospects
of success to carry the State in
1892. 1t means, moreover the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland in
that year. The victory was won
distinctly upon the national
issues with which Mr.. Cleveland
has identified himself. Tariff re-
form and sound money were, at
the instance of Mr.. Cleveland's
friends, made prominent planks
of the Saratoga platform, and
success on such a basis in the
pivotal Empire State must give
an immense impetus to sound
doctrine on these subjects. The
enthusiasm with which the ex-
President was received at every
political meeting at which he
appeared during the campaign
testified to his hold upon the
popular heart. The Baltimore
Sun says the logic of the stu
alton should now make Nc
Kinley, of Ohio, the Republican
candidate for the presidency.
Mr.. Cleveland, the advocate OF
low taxes, and Mr.. Mckinley,
the admirer of high taxes, would
thus confront each other in the
presidential campaign of the next
year. 1t would be a fair and
square fight, on issues perfectly
defined and we'll understood by
everybody. Until Cleveland en-
tered the arena the politicians,
Democratic as we'll as Republi-
can, fought shy of the tariff issue.
They have tried all sorts of dod-
ges. They have endeavored to
substitute this and that issue for
the one great public question in
which the masses of the people are
chiefly interested. In some quarters
they had more or less success in be-
Jogging the public mind as to the
real difference between the aims end
ends of the two great parties. But
with Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Nc
Kinley as the candidates for the
presidency the fight would be fought
to the finish, and everybody would
know what it was about.
