Proclamation by the Governor.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. !
 TERRITORY OF ARIZONA. {

dt lbo AiRtlto, NhilibIHids Oh lHt iOtu day of October, 1893, and remain in session five days, an International Irrigation Congress, at which leading irrigationlsts of the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia will be present, and at which number of important questions relating to irri- gation law, irrigation securities, irri- gatlon methods, etc, will be discuss cd and determined,
 The importance of this congress has received recognition from the na- tionhl government in circular letter Issued by the Hons Walter c. Gresh- am, secretary of stAte, dated July 7th, 1893, inviting the attendance of rep. resentatiyes from all foreign govern ments interested in the subject Of IT, rlgation. The department of the in- terlor will be represented by An officer specially detailed to impart to the congress such information as may be in the possession of the government, obtained by surveys which have been carried on for several years by the United States geological survey under and by direction Of the government.
 As delegates win be present from all the states and territories where lrfi- gation Is carried on, and from foreign countries, where this mode of agricnl- ture has been expcrimented with for years, the discussions will prove of the highest practical value to every citizen interested In the development of Arizona.
 There Is no question which presents itself to the western half of the Uni- ted States, especially to our own sec. tlon, which is of greater importance and fraught with more momentous results than the solution of the arid land problem. It means the reclama- tion of many million acres of land. the employment of thousands of peO- pie, and the providing of myriads of families with farms and homes. re- sultlng in the production of untold wealth
 Our people can point with pride to the wonderful results which have been achieved by irrigation within our own borders, in the reclamation of over half million acres of land and the contemplated recla nation of amilllon more in the immediate future. This Is enough to inspire enthusiastic hope in the possibilities of Arizona's horti- cultural and agricultural resources, and should serve to excite the deepest interest af our citizens in this con gross.
 The congress will no doubt discuss and by resolution adopt and recom- mend to the congress of the United States policy by which these lands may be most easily reclaimed. Such a policy if simple, practical, and inyoly- ing little or no cost to the federal | government, will in all probability be crystalized into national law. and it | may be that the states and territor- ies comprised in the arid section will be given the reclamation of these lands.
 Now, therefore, l, L. c. Hughes, | governor of the Territory of Arizona, | do hereby request and urge the peo- pie of the territory to interest them selves in the coming congress, both by the discussion of the subject and re- commenting to the proper officials the selection and appointment of del egates specially qualified to present tho ,-ia,Vs nf n,tr pao,.lo c,, tl, ;.

A remarkable effect is said to have been derived from the visitation of the flood of two years ago on the farms south of Phgnix. At Linyille's one pear tree, last season, is said to have borne an even weighed ton of fruit, and the whole orchard to have produced not less than $500 over the previous year. It was not 6n account of lack of water during the previous years, but is said to have been the re- suit of sand and silt deposited by the muddy waters. Farrington's orchard derived similar benefit.
