would advance money to the growers, 10
conveyed far greater significance than
that there would be plenty of money to
harvest the crop. Until the moment the
money was actually pledged, there was a
corner on all the hops of the Coast,
amounting to approximately i50,0 bales,
or say q, ZOO 600 pounds. The corner was
we'll planned, and came very near being
successful. Had IL been successful, the
combine would have realized x4,o50 900 on
the turn, provided hops could have been
forced to ~ cents per pound, which under
the conditions seems quite likely.
Those in charge of the corner proposed

stringency and keep enough money away

hops for from 10 TO l. cents per pound.

GRESHAM APOLOGIES.


WasHIsGroS CRY, Aug. 23.--There has
been considerable correspondence con-
corning the forcible expulsion of Italian
miners from Cripple Creek. COL, between
Secretary Gresham, Gov. Waite and Baron
Fava, the Italian minister at Washington
City, bnt it is likely the explanation
offered Minister Fava by the state depart
ment and Gov. Waite will be satisfactory
to the Italian government and that the
incident will be declared closed.
After correspondence with Gov. Waite,
Secretary Gresham wrote Baron Fava that
rhe attack was not due to race prejudice,
but the feeling against cheap labor. When
the Americans found themselves under
bid by the Italians they took forcible
measures of securing the ends they de-
sired. but did 30 with no feeling against
the unpopular workmen as Italians
Gresham expressed regret for the occur
renee and hoped 1t would not disturb
the friendly relations between the two

Proclamation by the
Governor.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
TERRITORY OF ARIZONA.

TERRITOR OF ARIZONA
WHEREAS, There will be convened
at Los Angeles, California, on the 10th
day of October, 1893, and remain in
session for five days, an International
Irrigation Congress, at which leading
irrigationists of the Uuited States.
Europe, Asia and Australia will be
PR mt, and at which number of
important quest ion> relating to irri-
cation law, irrigation securities, irri-
cation methods, etc.. will be discussed
and determined.
The imr rtauce of this congress hes
received re IGNITION from the national
government in circular letter issued
by the Hon. Walter @. Gresh n Sec
rotary of state, dated July 7th 1898,
inviting the attendance Of representa-
tives from all foreign governments
interested in the subject Of irrigation.
The department of the interior will be
represented by an officer specially
detailed to impart to the congress such
information as may be in the pos SEES
sion of the government, obtained by
surveys which have been carried on
for several years by the United States
geological survey under and by direez
ton of the government.
As delegates will be present from
all the states and territories where ir-
rigaton is carried on, and from
foreign countries. where this mode of
agriculture has been experimental
with for years, the discussions will
prove Of the highest practical value to
every citizen interested in the de-
yelopment of Arizona.
There is no question which presents
itself to the western half of the United
States, especially to our own section.
which is of greater Importance and
fraught with more MON entous results
than the solution of the arid land
problem. 1t means the reclamation
of many million acres of land, the em>
ployment of thousands of people. and
the providing of myriads of families
with farms and homes, resulting in
the production of untold realth.
Our people can point W j pride to
the wonderful results which have been
achieved by irrigation within our own
borders, in the reclamation of over a
half a million acres of land and the
Contemplated reclamation of a mil
lion more in the immediate future
This is enough to inspire the en-
thusiastic hope in the possibilities of
Arizona's horticultural and agricul-
tural resources, and should serve to
excite the deepest interest of our
citizens in this congress.
The congress will no doubt, discuss
and by resolution adopt and recon-
mend to the congress of the United
States policy by which these lands
may be most easily reclaimed. Such
a policy ifsimple,' practical, and in
volying little or no cost to the federal
