is not only very prevalent here, but
appears by reports to have been car

OF the nose and a hacking cough are
the principal symptoms. Some ply

form OF the old grippe, and say that

Building, Chicago.

Is a woman safe in the South?
A thousand times, yes. She gets
always what shc asks for and every
man is her guard OF honor. To the
working woman every mans hat is of
and in social life she holds securely
the position that her virtues, her
brains and her blood demand. l can
say no better word for the chivalry OF
the men OF my State than to remind
you that alone, with a l2-year old lad,
i Travelled In a private vehicle 1900
miles in Louisiana as safely and UNI
harmed as l could walk the halls Of
this wOman's temple.
Divorces are almost unheard Of in
my State. Even In the newspapers Il
woman's name is sacred.
The South has great confidence in
its women, especially in its coming
woman. 1t has even the great faith
that Mrs. G ladstOne. who knows him
best, has in the 'Grand Old Man."
Once on a time when things were
particularly troublesome, the CLAD.
stones received a visit of sympathy
from a clergyman. Mr.. Gladstone
was not present, and the visitor said
to the lady:
"DO not despair, dear Mr.. Glad
stone; there is one above who is
watching over all"
Indeed, ] know lie ls,' answered
the lady, she is just changing his
shirt, and babe me say he'd be down
in a minute"
They tell a story OF a Kansas fami-
ly that moved so often that every
time the chickens saw a covered wa.
gOn drive into the yard they laid
down on their backs and put up their
legs to be tied.
II that family had only moved
South, even the chickens would have
known it was good and forever.
Come South, young woman, and
you'll never leave it.
Come South, and there you will
take root in our kindly soil, and you
will flower there, fragrancing the air
and learn what it Is to be free, and
there a woman may be IS she wills

Once on a time two knights set
forth from their homes in search Of
some wonderful roses.
They Travelled the wide world over
and came home with empty hands.
LO, upon the old, familiar walls
grew the roses of their quest.
This is true Of the South. On the
home walls and in its gardens grow
the dearest roses the heart can search
for the immortal blossoms OF fine
opportunity, content, love and happi-
ness.
These are the roses OF our quest

Irrigation InformatIon.

Farming land in the United States, in sections having an average rainfall, are worth from saO to SG0 an acre. Arid. or so-called desert" lands. without irrigation, are dear at twen- ty-fiye cents an acre. With irriga- tion unimproyed lands in Southern California are worth from $50 to si00 an acre. Water can be placed on des- ert lands at cost of from Sl0 to S75 an acre. If twenty-five cent land and and Sl9 water can be added together and be made to foot up a total of $50 an acre value, what is irrigation worth to the arid states?
 Unirrigated farming lands have no certainty of producing crop of any thidg depending on rainfall. lrrigat- cd lands can always be depended on to produce any crop planted in the fertile earth. The difference in the value of the two classes of lands is the difference between certainty and chance.
 The International Irrigation con gress Los Angeles. October l0-l5, lS93) will discuss the question of irri- gation in all it's phases, and the sub feet will be handled by men of wide experience and national reputation. The government will be represented in this congress by a special officer of the interior department, who will i'm part such information as is in posses sion of the government on this inn portant subject.
 A handsome little book on irriga- tion has been issued by the publica- tion committe of the congress which will be sent free of charge to all ap- plicants who will send two cents to cover postage. The book is finely printed and freely Illustrated, con tains much valuable information, and is an epitome of irrigation knowledge. For copies of this book, or any de- tails concernitg the congress, address c. D. Willard, secretary, 157, South Main street, Los Angeles.

HOPE AND 4 NEW FIELD FOR THE
 RISING GENERATIONS.
Small Farms and Pleasant Duties ys. Large Farms and a Worn
 Out Old Age.
ARIZONA OFFERS BETTER THAN GOLD
 FIELDS.
From the Brooklyn Eagle Last of Uncle sam's Farms.

"The Cherokee Strip has been taken s'up-gobbled up is the best way to sdescribe the manner of it's taking and Uncle Sam has no more land, ex- ''cept such as he needs for Teserya- "tions, parks, forts, navy yards and public buildings. Long ago the jolly '.song. For Uncle Sam is rich enough ' to give us all farm was dropred from the repertory of the pcbllc schools. When that was written the ''yolume and poverty of European inn ''nligratiOn to this country was not guessed at nor dreamed of, nor was Lit foreseen that congress would en- ''dow private companies of railroad "builders with land of the area of an eastern empire. The fairest land in "the world has been disposed of to all ''comers on the easiest terms that lever land was taken. Any man who wanted l60 acres had only to live on lit oI cause it to be titled and it was ''his. Joined with the activities of ''the railroads and the discovery of gold and silver in the Rockies and '.Sierras, this freedom of gift has been ''the means of developing the country ''as no country was ever developed be- fore. Times change. The chil- ''dren of Israel wandered forty wears through little pocket state, looking for place to live. In thirty wears the inhabited area of the "Un.ted States has been dOnbled, ''and millions of miles of country that ''Zebulon Pike and Lieutenant Long described as a hopeless desert have '.bcen made to blossom as the rose.
 Thirty years ago pilgrims were ''still Iumbering across the plains and through the mountain passes in :. prairie schooners,' buffalo still ranged along the prairies in herds no s'eye could measure: Denver was vil- .'lage and other cities of the middle .'belt unbuilt. the Indians menaced .'the frontier and savage wars meant something. Life beyond the Mis- "souri was rough and wild. Had any man of that day foretold so speedy a 'change he would have been laughed down. But the change has come. 'TThere is no longer west. as distin- '.tinguished in its aims, character or condition from the east, and the country is unit as is never has been until this time.

healthy irrigation districts of the country is in marked contrast with the weary round of m0nOt0nOus duties and the worn out and broken down old age of even the prosperous farmers of the ordinary farming community.
 However did not intend to go in- to this phase of irrigation ys. rain farming, but to call the attention of the people who think Uncle Sam has ceased to be able to give us all farm to the actual facts that thous- ands of acres can be had free as home steads along or near the main line of the Southern Pacific railroad, and in the valleys of the Salt and Gila lhe-la) river valleys. l took the trouble to look up the vacant lands of the Santa Cruz valley from Tucson to Maricopal and the Gila river valley (from Arzola to Florencel and having been all over these valleys and knowing the charac- ter of the land to be perfectly adapted to irrigation, was amazed to find the vast amount of land waiting for the immigrant and home seeker. The extensive irrigation projects at Tucson, the Florence canal, from Florence to Arizola, and the inex- haustible supply of water for pumping to irrigate that flows under the lower Santa Cruz valley from Arizola north to the Gila river and west and north west to Maricopal offer every guaran- tee that the necessary water will be amply available. Water rights for few acres can be bought for fraction of their cost in California, and pump ing plants can be established and op- erated on large or small scale in the region of the flow Underground of the Santa Cruz river even more eco nomically than by water from the ca nal. l know gentleman at Tucson Mir. William Hartt) who has success l fully pumped for years and cultivated large areas with highly profitable re- turns, and who stated that he would not exchange for water rights in good canal. He pumps from the same subterranean flow of the Santa Cruz river, using mesquite for fuel, but the better kind of gasoline engines offers more efficient and economical and safer power for pumping than steam, in this district of scarce fuel.
 This letter has grown far longer al- ready than I intended, but cannot close without expressing my earnest conviction that the irrigation districts offer the hope of the future to the young men and women of America who desire homes and lands of their own and acongenial and agreeable and profitable occupation: and if this let ter gives new courage to a single per son and starts him or her to investi- gating the hopeful possibilities in the | irrigating districts of the country, l shall be amply repaid. l have said nothing of the healthfulness of your district. but the number of living and vigorous specimens of the race whom I know in Arizona who went there to die but who HAVE RECOVERED from consumption, asthma, rheuma- tism and malaria as well as my own excellent health during two entire years. convince me that health is not the least of the blessings Arizona ot- fers her citizens.
