Munich, opposite a medieval tavern
called the OperP Pollinger. His land
lady was a nice old soul, with two
daughters. On the ground floor of
the house was a store in which cut

The front store was on fire. 1t was
full of rockets, crackers and other
fireworks. In the back store there
was a barrel of gunpowder, which

The Arid Ems s,i~e.

There are important reasons why
the Third National Irrigation Co,.--
gress should be the object of live
hest interest to all western men.
1t will assemble at what is likely
to prove the most opportune mo-
ment in the history of the county
for effective work in the interest of
irrigation progress. We are in the
midst OF al extraordinary period
Ut depression. We have recently
beheld the strange spectacle of
thousands of idle men marching
upon the national capital to demand
some sortof relief. In politics and
in industry there is accommodating
evidence of popular discantenE and
and unrest. There is now no .citi-
zen of the United States, however
conservative he may he by mature,
who does not recognize the need of
some new impulse in our industrial
life and the need of a new outlet
.idle,energies and surplus population.
We have had periods of depression
before, but vast uneecupird pub
lie domain has always served as q.
safety valve. Today, when the
pressure is severer than ever before
and when our institutions seems
fairly brought to the test, as fore
told in Macaulay's remarkable pre-
diction, there is no outlet unless
the arid lands are to be speedily
reclaimed by some form of enter
prise, either public or private. Last
year irrigation may have been
western fad; today it is a. great
national necessity. Last year it
was the price ofswestern prosperity;
today 1T is perhaps the price of
peace and safety for national insti-
tutions
The most conservative authority
on record comedies that the deserts
of Western America, under a prop.
or system of irrigation, will sustain
as many more people as now live
in the United States. To render
this possible will, in the first place,
furnish employment for vast .capi-
tai and great numbers of men. In
the second place there will have
been created homes for millions of
families, Under a system of di-
versified farming, these millions OF
families can sustain themselves, If
they can do TO more. Is there
anything more important in this
hour of darkness and strife and
evil foreboding than the making of
an irrigation policy under which
these great ends can be achieyed.-

ferred to the possibilities of the
arid region in general, and of Ari-
zona in particular, as soon as irri-
cation can be developed to suf-
ficiently advanced point. One
thing we have argued was that in
the great region lying west of the
Mississippi would be found an out
let for the surplus population of
our large cities and that it would
provide with happy hearths and
happy homes those who, if they are
compelled to suffer much longer
under present conditions must be
placed upun tho mendicants' list.
Here is an extract from an article
in the Irrigation Age, which speaks
with logic on the subject: The
friends of Western America are
watching current events with the
keenest interest. A peculiar com
blnation OF circumstances covering
a period of at least fifteen months,
has been at work shaping the future
of our civilization along new lines.
Almost every one of these events
however startling they may have
been to conservative sentiment
elsewhere, has brought to the
thoughtful leaders of the irrigation
world new and convincing assur-
ances of the early tliumph of their
ideas and the speedy realization of
their hopes. The future belongs to
arid America. 1t is in her broad
valleys that industry shall be reor-
ganized upon surer foundations
than it has known before. It is in
the western half of this continent,
and only there, that outlets can be
found for surplus population, and
gainful work can be found for idle
hands, that new institutions can be
established without dangerous in
reference with existing rights.
The republic is sorely pressed and
troubled, but it's last and greatest
resource remains to be utilized. In
Western America there is room for
60,000,OOO more people, who can
sustain themselves without en-
croaching upon any acre now occu-
pied, or upon any property right
now vested in individual or corpor.
alton. TO prepare this new do
main for occupancy will absorb
labor now idle and employ capital
now timid and apprehensive. The
conditions which have brought
about the present situation are
numerous, and no single remedy
will be found in the provision of
land for the landless, homes for the
homeless, labor for the laborless
and Independence for the dependant
This is solution which the men of
the arid west can tender to their
fellow countrymen and which no
other men on earth can offer. We
need no longer ask ourselves
whether5the American people will
avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity. The time has come when
the American people must avail
themselves of it. Above the clamor
of protest and the murmur of in
difference rings the imperious voice
of Fate. 1t is the destiny of arid
America to save our institutions
with "a new birth of freedom" !"
and to prove again that "this
government of the people, for the
people and by the people shall not
perish from the earth"

The Armour Packlng 20. OF Kan.
sas City has submitted bids to the
governments of China and Japan to
supply their armies with all the
canned meats they need during the
continuance of the war. Nothing
daunted by the fact that the Chi
nese army may grow to millions if
the war last long, Mr.. Armour says
that his company would agree to
supply all the canned meat NUM-
tions for war which either or both
countries may need. Should the
Corean difficulty be long drawn out
and should the Armour Packing
Go. be successful in it's pending
negotiations the cattle market of
this country may be drawn upon to
the highest notch. China with its
millions of people has an innumer-
able reserve to put in the field in
the case Of an emergency. Its
national army is composed of $780,
900 men. It has territorial ar
my of 10000 men, a center amy
of $4,000 men and could easily put
100000 soldiers in the breach.
These men would have to eat and
they couldn't depend on birds nests
either. They would have to de-
pend on canned corn beef from
Kansas City. And if Japan should
also conclude to get its supply from
here the broad plains of the south
west couldn't grow too many cattle.
The Mikado has a standing ermy
of 5000 men. Besides this he has
a reserve force of 100000 men
and "Landgrave reserve" of more
than 10000 soldiers.

Says the Prescott Courier The
photographic stone quarries near
the head of Sycamore creek have
now been developed sufficiently to
rAveal immense deposits of that
valuable stone. Col. q. P. Sykes
has control Of the quarries and has
expended about $4,000 on them
during the last year and half.
B sides the regular photographic
stone. there are later deposits of
stone similar in character to the
photographic stone below, only that
it is figured or variegated, and
takes on a high polish. Some spec
linens of this stone seen by a
Courier reporter yesterday tn at had
been cut and polished in a very
crude manner showed most beauti-
full .colors and figures in fantastic
shape. As decorating atone this
certainly takes rank among the
very best, and as soon as introduced
in the east will cause great de
mand for it. The photographic,
stone has been tested by Korff
Bros. Il Co., and several other lead
ing photographers of New York,
and they pronounce it to ba equal
to the Bavarian stone that costs
$500 per ton and state that a
quarry of any dimensions of such
stone would be worth many mil
ons. Col Sykes will leave for
New York in a few days with a
large lot of stone, and make a series
of exhibition tests that will con-
vince the most skeptical regarding
the Arizona product. He also has
thirty large pieces of photographic
stone which he will present to the
New York Museum of Natural
History, to be on exhibition as
product of Arizona. By direct
route the quarries are about 40
miles from Prescott. Now that
the quality of our lithographic
stone is no longer in question. a
great industry in that line will
grow up in this section which will
be both permanent and profitable.
