YUMA.-Rainfall was te1eficial to new
sown alfalfa, and ali new crops of
vegetables, vines and grasses; was not
injurious to anything. As result new
wild grass and weeds have sprung up
on thu mesa and in valleys, which afford
good feed for live stock Farmers are
still sowing alfalfa every week, and
cutting that only sown six and eight
weeks ago. The Colorado river rose one
foot during the week. The rise IN the
Gila river has not reached here as yet.
The finestwatermelons and muskmelons
ever seen in Yuma are daily in market.
Grapes, of nearly every variety, are
ripe. and never of better flavor.

been of great benefit, and all kinds of
crops are taking rapid growth from
their effacts. Grass and feed on the

all kinds of melons and vegetables

heavy crop of native grass.

THE government at Mexico is said to
be hard pressed for money to carry on
its affairs. To lessen the outlay and
make the expenditures easier to meet,
President Diaz has ordered an all-round
reduction OF official salaries. When
times get bstter, money easier and the
milled dollar of HE dads circulates more
freely the old salary schedule will be re-
stored. 1t is quite probable that the
treasury vaults of Mexico are not over
burdened with too much cash on hand.

Another evidence that the Mexican ar

in letter from Sheriff Holbrook, who
took him TO California, to Sheriff Scott.
Says the letter:

j. B. Scott, ehsriff, Tucson.
DEAR Sir: [ arrived here ell right
last Saturday night. German refuses
to recognize his mother and brothers,
although they admit that be is Mariana.
Several others have seen and recognized
him.
Will let you know when German
comes up for trial. Z. f. HeLBRooK,
Sheriff.
Some witnesses brought by Attorney
Tom Bnrton fer the German case, to
prove that the Mexican arrested was
not German, are here too late to help
German out, however. Since the de-
parture of the prisoner Mr.. Borton has
expressed the opinion that he is pretty
near certain to be convicted, with the
case against him.

and the end impossible to forsee. The
American Banker, under date Of July

the half year ending June 80, 1898.
There has been 100 more failur since

the reason that there has not been a

ARIZONA.

For many years Arizona was looked
upon, not only by tbs world at large
but also by its neighborinS states and
territories, as a barren, desert wilder
ness; a country whose only vegetation
was the thorny cactus, Or dry, parcheo
sage brush and whose hot blieterinG
valleys were favorite abodes Of the re-
pulslve, sluggish gila monster, the
dangerous rattler, and the horned toad.
There was also a general b belief that
the inhabitants were mainly composed
of the bloody Apache, forever bent on
rapine aud murder, together with the
festive cowboy, with his eyer-ready
"gun," making life a burden to the
peaceabls settler.
Though We are loath to say 1t, these
impressions were circulated and foster
ed by a weak and consciepceless press
pandering to the vicious and unthink-
ing. The Arizona Kicker business is
q fair sample of this.
Arizona has been done on immense
amount of injury by these sensational
papers, but right must prevail" and
today The natural advantages and re-
sources of the territory are attracting
the attention OF capitalists and intend
ing settlers the country over.
What Arizona needs more particu-
larly than anything else at the present
time is statehood, and when that de-
served honor is conferred on the wait
ing territory, aud one more star is
aided to the blue armament of our
glorious flag, she will bound ahead with
an enthusiasm and vigor that will as
tonish the world.
Her development and progress dur
ing the past few years has been of the
most rapid and substantial description.
The Improvements that have already
been accomplished, and those now In
contemplation are colossal, and will
open up for settlement country that
if the truth we're known. stands with
out a peer the richest In natural re-
sources, and the most fertile on the
continent of America.
The peo2le OF Arizona are Americans
of a pronounced and patriotic type,
whose earnest prayer for representa-
ton in the councils of their country
should be promptly heeded.-San Fran
