be homeseekers to take advantage of these beautiful fruit lands outside of the canals territory. This would help rather than hurt the canal, and Ari- zola as distributing point would also profit greatly.
 This is not the only pumping irriga- tion district in Arizona. The Spulphur Spring valley, the San Simon valley; the White River basin and Sanz in Cochise and Graham counties are sim liar in character, but the waters are deeper, the altitude greater and the climate less favorable for delicate fruits, like almonds, figs, dates, olives and citrus fruits.
 Pumping for irrigation is not new, having been practiced for centuries with crude appliances in oriental irri- rigation regions and now with mod ern appliances in parts of California, New Mexico and Arizona. Yet now, right in sight of Arizola, lies the finest field, as yet undeveloped, in the world for pumping irrigation, by virtue of it's FREE LANDS. readily accessible water, healthy aud suitable climate and location along and nearness tosa great main through line of railroad.
 If these facts were generally known there would be rush of enterprising homeseekers for these free lands like to Oklahoma, and your town would re- fleet the prosperity of region equal to any in California and superior to it in point of healthfulness of climate; and have thought it only fair, when other regions are boasting of and booming their advantages, to offer you this unsolicited testimony about ono of Arizona's available advantages for homeseekers. spent two of tho pleasantest years of my life in South- crn Arizona, and the study of her re- sources has been a matter of rscrea- tion, and continual surprise at their extent and astonishment at the gen. eral ignorance concerning them.

The young man planted the first crop in May. During tho last week in August he cut the crop off and turned the water on the stub ble. From this one wetting the sec ond crop grew and a finer lot of cane was never seen even in the old state of Missouri. MT.

Isecond Paper,l To the Editor Of TIE OASIS:


 DEAR SIR:-In a recent letter l wrote of the 'sNew Domains" Uncle Sam offers to those wishing pleasant and profitable homes in the Irrigation Districts. Some further points, more in detail, may be of interest to your readers.
 As a cadet at West Point the course of study gave great interest in geol- ogy and engineering, and have spent good deal of my time during what might thayeothcrwise been monotonous service in Southern Arizona military posts. in rather comprehensive study of the topography and possibilities of that territory. As the best and most reliable information on this part of our country is buried in tue ponderous foli0s Of the Smithsonian and the lit- tie known records of the Weather Bu- reau, observations made in person on the ground may be of some interest and possible value to newcomers and others. To the average tourist, hur- ried across the territory on the trans continental roads through dust and summer heat, the suggestion of Ari- zona as a hopeful field for homeseek- CTS might appear very amusing, but to person who is familiar with the msryels wrought by Irrigation, and who will investigate, without preju- dice, the facts about Arlzona's climate and water supply, it offers as much of promise as any other part of the irri- gated portion of the country, and far exceeds most of them in advantages. The large areas of good lands, FREE to homesteaders and those taking adyan- tage of the desert land act, under the various canal systems, should be util- ized, and when they are new era will dawn on Arizona. Information on these lands can be had however by addressing the canal companies, who have water rights to sell at low rates to bring the lands under them into profitable cultivation. l wish to call attention to NEW field of even greater promise, though little known and without an apostle with water rights to sell to make it's merits known. It is the territory which can be irrigated by PUMPING from the subterranean reservoir caused by the flow of the santa Cruz river inte the great valley beginning at Tucson and running west to the Maricopa divide and north to the Giila river. From Arizola west, north and northeast lthe junction of the Santa Cruz and t,ila valleys is a great, open plain, nowhere more than few miles from the Southern Pacific railroad, and this plain is only a few feet above d vast subterranean supply ofwater gathered from the head waters aud water shed of the Santa Cruz river, and from sipage from the Gila river for several miles below Florence. The Santa cruz waters sink into the sands at the upper end of the plain at Rillito and are saved The soil of this plain is of vast depth, and rock is rarely found above the water level and then only near the rim of the plainl being the accumulation of long ages of eros ion of mountains around, wasbings from which have gradually filed in what was se,prohably ouess dsep arm oi tkJ sfar FusssfaeFt yeleallc Fcticp

these requirements, and by still simpler, cheaper and more efficient pump of the improved rotary type, made by Turner Machine Co. of Brooklyn, New York-capacity ten thousand 10000 gallons PER HOUR costs S200 laid down at Arizola.
 This is unsolicited testimony, as in my study of the problem have secured catalogues and prices from all the lead ing pump makers in the country and give you the result of the most thor ough, impartial investigation. l have no axe to grind" i" and this writing is unknown to the makers of these pumps.
 Now for the power:
 lst. WINDMILLs. The Weather Bu- reau at Washington has kindly sup piled me with data relating to wind movements which are Of great import ance in relation to our problem of cheap powers for pumping water from this subterranean reservoir so bounti- fully filled and kept from evaporation by nature. The winds at Tucson, Arizola, Florence and Maricopa are unique, rising with the sun and grow ing stronger as the day progresses till sundown, when they gradually and generally cease to blow. The average velocity is six or seven miles per hour, in the forenoon and eight to ten in the afternoons. Occasionally higher winds occur but not of destructive nature, as the hundreds of wind mills running in these localities can testify. A six teen foot steel windmill of the geared type giving belt powerl will furnish in these winds an average power daily equal to that of three or four horses working ten hours day, without at tendance or cost beyond the oil for lu- bricating. This will work a pump of the kinds named and of capacity to deliver one hundred thousand gallons during EACH DAY. This is enough for l60 acres. Mills and forty foot towers can be put up at Arizola for s200.
 2d HORSE POWERS, to be worked by two or four horses or mules can be laid down at Arizola from Chicago for 500 Sd. NAPoR ENGINES of reliable, and tested and guaranteed capacity, giving about four (4l actual horse power lany capacity up to fifty horse power may be had can be laid down at Ari- zola from Philadelphia, Chicago, Kan sas City or San Francisco for about s325. .00 to S350.09 and will work stead fly without danger and WITHOUT AT TENDANCE, using gasoline, at cost per ten hours of FIFTEEN CENTS per horse power. This is the CHEAPEST RELIABLE source of power for daily use. Many thousands are in constant use for all purposes, at a cost of ten or twelve cents per horse power per day of ten hours near oil supply.
 Huo Nbui iioiilCSbCduci Nbuiu diuCi digging his well, put in pump and sixteen foot wind mill for (s200 plus Sl50 plus $50 for pipes and bslts) s40o, which is cheaper than water rights for forty acres. He could add four horse power for use in intervals of occasional light winds for Sl00 more, or he could put in a pump and gasoline engine for $500. Each one of these outfits will, by regular use, irrigate 160 acres.
 The canal now at Arizola cannot supply one HUNDREDTH PART of this vast plain with water, and l do not intend to create any idea of antagon- ism to the oaRal 5ystcm, which is ex. cslIert and has spleucIid storage feg, tFvols, but to open the eyes of would
