coast; Tor IN the early ifties, when he was q
Iau OF Il, ne came to California with his parents.
Durihg recent years he has lived in Arizona

Tie on Puget sound. There is much more in
Arizona than the average man supposes," SAID
ne last night "Along the Salt river for ex-
ample, there is land which with irrigation is as
me as any in the world for agriculture.
hnen first rode through there
IN 1866 looked at that dry soil and thought
that wonid not give cent for ten miles OF it
But when the water is brought on it by bitches
IL literally blossoms like the rose. You can
raise crops al all seasons-six crops OF alfalfa in
year. Then, too, oranges and other semi
tropical fruits can be grown there, and matured
earlier than in California There are also fine
cattle ranges in Arizona. In parts OF the terri.
tory the drouth makes the grass thin, and the
ranges have been overstocked, 90 that some
OF them are pretty well eaten off
IN places where the ranges have been
thns destroyed, you can buy cattle for
VI or - Il head. But Notwithstanding this fact,
ARIZONA offers some good land for cattle men.
The northern end of the territory il rich in
mineral. OF the states in the Union, Arizona
now ranks third in the production of copper
Ihere are also fine deposits of silver and gold.
The population must now be over $1,000 and
expect to see q steady increase in the years to
come"

dentiies can now outvote the Mormons
IN salt Lake City, Ogden and the other large

nave renowned poygamy and wish to have
Utah admitted state but we are afraid that
II Utah Is admitted beiore the Gentiles secure
