A worlds Fa,r Address.

Io THE PEOPLE OF ARIZONA;
 On the first day of May, 1893, will be opened in the city of Chicago, under the name of the Worlds Columbian EXposition," the greatest exhibition of the industries and manufactures of man, and the productions of the soil, mine and sea, that the earth has ever seen assembled. Through it every civilized nation, as well as every State and Territory of the Union, will strive to show the opportunities and induce ments offered by each to secure the in- vestment of capital and attract the Keen-eyed wealth and intelligent labor will utilize the Expo sition to ascertain where their welfare will be most advanced by becoming in- terested, while by it to every State and Territory is given, as never befors, the means of showing every attraction it possesses to bring to it the capitalist or emigrant.
 With an area equal to that of Italy with it's population of thirty millions, while possessing the ability 10 produce every fruit and grain that mature un- der Italian suns; with the valleys of the Gila and Salt rivers equal in fertil- ity and greater in extent than the Valley of the Nile-''the granary of the world;" with coal fields reaching from the Utah line to within the north ern confines of the San Carlos reserya- tion and covering an area greater than those which have made Pennsylvania one of the richest commonwealths of of the Republic; with mines in whose treasure-ccllS lies hidden every mineral that finds value in the minds of men; with natural curiosities peculiar to it alone; with the ever present relics of a civilization the oldest on the North American continent, Arizona possesses every attribute to attract and enlist the assistance of capital and emigra- tion in creating within its boundaries a rich and pOpulous state. Unknown and unrecognized, for the first time it is given the means to make its resOurc- es and it's possibilities appreciated. With intelligent and earnest effort, its exhibit at Chicago should be second to none in attractiveness, variety, novelty and richness, an exhibit that will ad. vertise to the world as nothing else can the certainty- that, at no distant day. within its boundaries men will become prosperous and rich by ayailing them selves of tho wealth that nature has lavished on it. SelfshnesD and senti- ment comIile to demand that this be done. To accomplish it the last Legis- lature appropriated $30, 1000 to be ap- portioncd among the several counties, Liberal ai this amount is, it must be augmented by individual effort before justice can be done fully to the Terri tory by an exhibit proportionate to the variety and wealth of it's re- sources,
 Already pne county, (Maricopa,) ) recognisinglhe advantages and benefits that will a9rue to it from full pre- centatiOn q its resources, is engaged in raising rom individual and public sources LOO in addition to the al- lowance giNn it by the Territory. | Every otBr county should follow it's example as lar as the ability to do so permits. Hch should present its chief attractions Fully and conspicuously, and in a nj hnuer that will command attention. This can only be done by unity of acton among its citizens, and the rassing If funds to see that the best exhibits are obtained for exposition purposes.
 In each icOunty an organization should be perfected to see that this is done. Sucb organizations are being effected in every other Territory and State in theIUnion, and great good is thereby being accomplished. Where the cOnditiots are such that organiza- tions as suggested are impracticable, the Boards Iof Supervisors can and should see toit that the interests of the county are tot neglected. Whether the effort to promote the interests of a county be bypublic organizations, of ficial action, er individual effort, the Board of Worh's Fair Managers will at all times reuler every assistance in their power by active and earnest CO., operation, while csteeming it favor to receive suggestions and communi- cations on the subject from any source.
