land of the Southwest.

Arizona and New Mexico are emerg-
ing from the shadows, says the Irriga
tion Age.
The sunlight of prosperity and terri
torial advancement are lighting up the
hills and valleys of the southwest and
today there is every indication that
these territories are about ready for
the responsibilities of self government.
Irrigation has of late years been the
most potent factor in the upbuilding
of these territories. The grand posi-
bilitles for success, both from a 6nan-
cial and agricultural standpoint, have
invited capital and i'm migration, land
reclamation is in full swing all over
these sections of the broad southwest.
Arizona is fortunate in her natural
conditions for irrigation progress,
Much has been done and much remains
to be done in the work of bringing
water to the thirsty soil. Today there
are 500 miles of canals, exclusive of
laterals, delivering water to the land,
an area of nearly $4,000
acres. 1t is safe to say that the pres
ent water development is capable of
reclaiming fully i've times that amount
of land, aud if this were accomplished
it would be but the beginning. Suf-
cient water could be impounded in the
territory of Arizona to render fertile
20, 100000 acres of land. The water
is there, the land is there and crops
would be certainty; but the capital
to be invested is wanting. Give Ari-
zona the public lands now lying with
in hec borders and she will receive a
stimulus of growth and prosperity
such as is difficult of comprehension.
There is future and brilliant one
for these two territories of the south
west. Irrigation is the key to the
Irrigation will yet make
these lands as fruitful as they were in
the prehistoric times.

the case of Walter 7. Raymond, on
trial for using the U. S. mails for
fraudulent purposes, connected
with his land swindles, on the line
of the S. P. r. r. few miles west
of Yuma. Mr.. Townsend says that
Raymond was about as smooth
and sleek a person as he ever saw
on the witness stand. He cl aimed
that he had been deceived by his
son in regards to the land, the Or
ange and lemon groves and fine
orchards, which never had an ex-
istence except in his fertile brain.
The son claimed that he never
knew how to gamble until he came
to Yuma. 1t was proved, however,
that he was No. 1 crack player
the first day he reached here and
kept up his reputation while he
staid here.

Murder and Suicide.

London, May "A frightful
tragedy is reported from the town of
Grosford, in DenbIghshire, Wales.
Mrs. White, a resident of that
place. and a groom named Shetland.
The groom had been off enjoying a
holiday. He returned to the house
of Mrs. Whittle yesterday evening.
He followed his mistress into her
bed chamber A parlor maid, named
Taylor, also in the service of Mrs.
White, was down stairs at the
time, but does not appear to have
feared anything unusual until she
heard shot, evidently from a pis-
toll, in the bedchamber. The parlor
maid then ran to the room where her
mistress was, and found her in dy-
ing condition from the effects of a
pistol shot.
The groom held revolver in his
hand and when the maid appeared
he rushed upon her and pressed the
revolver to her head and threatened
to kill her. For some reason, how
ever, he did not kill her, but con
cluded to kill himself.
While she stood paralyzed with
fear Shetland turned away and,
kneeling down, offered up prayer.
Then he turned the revolver upon
himself and fired. The girl ran out
to summon help. When she returned
with assistance it was found that
Shetland had cut the throat of his
dying mistress and lifted her body on
the bed. lie had then laid down be-
side her and both were dead.
