canals in the ella valley, aggregating
49, miles in length. They are all OF
small size, none Icing u feet in width
on the bottom.
These canals are owned by farmers
who own the lands under them, The
owners usally incorporate themselves in
stock companies, as they find it much
easier to manage their affairs that
way.
The cost of maintaining these canals
varies according to the amount of flood
waters coming DOWN from the moun-
tsins, but the cost Of water to those
owing water rights in the canals will not
exceed 70 cents per acre in any year,
and the average is less than 80 cents

Alfalfa is about the only crop raised.

PUT THIS AND THAT TOGETH-
ER

Ez-Presdent Harrison recently made
q speech at his home in Indianapolis
which was intended for the whole copn-
try. When the late Senator Seward
wanted to be heard by the country he
went to his home il Auburn and there
delivered his massage. Henry Clay
went to Ashland. Daniel Webster went
to Boston for like purpose. Ex-Presi-
dent Harrison at his home in Indiana
brought forward the issues of the last
campaign. The country since the last
election has been trying the democratic
policy, ard is not satisfied with it. The
policy adhered to for so many years
previously by republican administra ions
had made the country prosperous. The
danger OF contrary policy had not been
appreciated until after the last election.
There is now riVivai of interest
throughout ths whole country touching
the protective policy OF the republicans.
No matter which way the question goes
in the present congress, the tariff will
probably be the next presidential issue.
A few days after exPresident Harris
on had made this speech, the Indian
apolis Journal, the leading republican
paper of that city, formally announced
that General Harrison would be a candi-
date before the next republican national
convention. While it has all along been
understood that be would be a candi-
date, this is the first clear announce.
ment. Ii is reasonable inference that
il is made with the consent of the ex.
president. He is to be the NOMINEES
simply in response to the call of the
country. That is the way the case i.
put by this republican journal.

Solomonville, the county seat of Gra-
ham county, located thirty-fve miles
north Of Bowie station, on the Southern
Pacific railroad, is giving many evil
1ences of improvement and it is believed
the town will have a rapid growth dur
ing the next twelve-months. The town
IS not large now but the citizsns are a
progressive people and are quick to
come to the aid of any enterprise which
promises future convenience and pros
perity. Two years ago few of them
organized the Gila Valley Telegraph
company and built telegraph line to
connect with the Western Union at
Bowie.
Within the last two months the geo.
pie of Solom onville subscribed cash
bonus to the new railroad now building
from Bowie to Globe as an inducsment
to have the road pass near their town.
These Instances are referred to simply

Great changes may occur during the
two years that will elapse before the
next republican national convention
But if a president were to be elected
now there could hardly be doubt that
the chose would fsll upon a republican.
1t may be coincidence that the los and
o1ts of the two presidents follow in this
order. Cleveland was elected and lost
the second election, and was subseouen-
tly elected. Harrison was elected and
lost the second election. IL elected in
the next canvass the alterations will
be strikingly alike. But il the next
two years other formidable candidates
may appear. The mere announcement
that any republican will be candidate

IM BABYLON1A
FIVE THOUSAND YEARS AGO.

a, an impottant gathering convened
in April by the Victoria Institats of
! London, Enyland, Mr. I. G. Piaches, OF
the Ofiantal Department of the British
Museum, described SONS results OF the
researches made by him among the Bs-
bylonian abiets now under examina-
ton ct the British Museum. He fist
reviewed the attributes of the thirteen
gods IN the Babylonian Pantheon, each
OF which cla med 10 be Aa or Va of the
Gods: he quoted tablets about $50 b. e,
in which the king used the word god as
moaotbeist would, and then went back
to the third millennium B. O., where he
found tablets using the same expression
in the same sense. Further ligh5 was
thrown or the reason for this by other
important Inscriptions, and the author
stated that Of late the evidence bad ac-
cumulated which forcad him pow to re-
gard the Babylouian Pantheon as really
one god. Aa interesting discussion
took place in which it was pointed out
that, as ia the earliest Egyptian, so
now in the early Babylonian records,
there was evidence OF primitive Mono
theism; the speakers were the Rev. DR..
Lowe. ir Rassam, Mr. Howard, and
Mr.. Mensedoht. who cited the evidanc
afforded by the Louvre tablets. Among
those sending communications were Sir
H. Howorth, Bart, NJ. p, Major Conder, |
