Active operations are being under taken in the Gila valley looking to the reclamation of some fifty or sixty thous- and acres in that fertile valley, while it is proposed to reclaim 175,000 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 impound 5000, 000,- 900 cubic feet of water. This terri. tory drained is 1900 square miles, over which the annual rainfall is officially reported to be 15 inches, thus guaran- teeing 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 occasional scarcity in the summer months, Gazete

It is said that an effort will be made by some members of the coming legis- lature to secure an endorsement for some one or two of its members for political purposes.

A. Leonard Meyer, the defaulting mayor and express agent of Phoenix, has been pardoned out of the Yuma prison by Acting-Governer Murphy. Meyer richly deserved the punishment meted out to him and there appears to be no excuse for his pardon except that he is in poor health. There are many poor devils behind the bars at Yuma who, probably, have better claims to freedom than A. Leonard Meyer.

Capt. s. $. Leach, of the Mississippi River Commission, says that it has been estimated by skilled engineers that BIO, GOO, 900 would pay for leyee sys- tem on the Mississippi River that, if watched and maintained, would be safe against flood The cost of maintenance to the Nation and States he estimated at less than 1000, 900 per annum. The effect of such system, he said, would be to revolutionize the carrying trade of the river and redeem 30, 900 miles of the finest agricultural land The nature of the work is such that it cannot be left to individual enterprise. The government must take entire charge or a neglected point will let in the flood and destroy miles of good leyee.

The Hartford MIDDLE.

10 the EOltOr OF the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Many New Haveners talk of going up to
Hartford tomorrow, expecting racy pro-
gram, with the possible inauguration of a
dual government for Connecticut, sugges-
tive of the Mexican style. Then there is a
possibility of hearing Senate Governor
Morris read his message. Then Governor
Buckley may ride forth on charger and
order out the Foot Guard, crying s'Dis-
perse, ye rebels" and John G. Kinney may
be called upon to lead the hosts against
the revolutionists in the spirit of old Char
mains at his banking affairs daily and may
not 60 up to Hartford at all tomorrow, but
it is possible the house may want to swear
him in as governor, too. The moment that
Judge Morris delivers his inaugural mes
sage, as is expected, then separate COVER
norship and q separate government will be
set up at the capitol and for the first time
in her history Connecticut will have dual
government. In other states such a condi-
ton of affairs would be considered revolu-
tionary and dangerous, but the patriotism
and moderation of the citizens of this state
are expected to find way out of the diff
Guilty which seems impossible to settle from
the present outlook. The senate, having
declared Judge Morris elected, cannot rec
ognize Governor Bulkeley without stulti-
flying itself. A democratic senator said
yesterday afternoon that the senate would
never yield and had placed itself in posi-
ton where it never could yield. But, seri-
ously speaking, sterling common sense
must in the end prevail, and that without
two years dual government.
