ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold Of an era of wonderful social and industrial de- veIepment. There can't be a doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last. There is every promise of day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people. while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small inn pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her fall share of atten- tion and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There is scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lenders than this.
 Arizona has reached that climscticer period which every western state has ex- perienced sometime in its history when, after long and weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and then down, the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and a sunhurst of energizing hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com pletion of two transcontinental lines of railroad across her territorJ-Arizona has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating fund of substantial wealth and a force of moral character which qualify her now to rise up and take her destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona is Mexican. This is mistake of great importance from the moral point of view. There is but one considerable center of Mexican population in the territory, the city of Tucson, and even there it is not by any means at pres- ent the predominating element. It think it IS tain that arizona has not to-day nearly so large Mexican population as Colorado and not above one tenth as much as New Mexico. .-"Fitz- Mac," in Denver News

PRODUCTIONS.

Being in the latitude of Persia, with similar eli mate. it is not unreasonable to infer that there should be a close relation in productions. Of the cereals, all do equally we'll. On the alluviun along the river from 40 to 30 bushels of wheat per acre can be raised and proportonately of oats and bar lev. Corn can be grown if planted very early or very late. Sorghu.. an1 the true cane grow very luxu iantly Gotten becomes perennial, plants in Yuma having grown from one seeding twelve years in succession The lint may be gathered con tinually from June to January. The castor bean grows into miniature trees, and are long lived as many of the ornamental trees of more northern attitudes. Hempis indigenous along the Colorado river, its fiber being of good quality. Ramie will do equally well as hemp, and the time will come when it's cultivation will become important in- dustry. The same may be said of flax and tobacco. It is in the realm of the goddess Pomona where the infinite riches of this country will be found. All the citrus fruits are at home in Yuma. The orange, the lemon and the lime ma<e fragrant with blossom and fruit all the days of the year, ani such oranges, lemons and lines grow no where else in the United States. Mexico and the | islands of the sea de not produce finer oranges in size; flavor and color, they simly perfect The lemol are equals of Sicily, than which none finer grow. The lime is as large, juicy and purely acid as those of Acapulco, Mexico, from whence those for the California market largely come.
 The date grows rapidly and health as in Per sia or Arabia and will in time become an import ant tree for it's fruit and ornamental pur The long-lived olive is at home here, and will add it' contingent of oil and pickles to the wealth of the land. From April to December the fig may bt gathered in perfe :tion from the tree All the pit ted fruits whose abitat is Persia grow with ar abandonment of grace and beauty unknown else where.
 What shall we say of the endless grape famil. that ripen here more than month in advance 0
 any locality. Morocco, Spain, France Hungary which have sent their finest varieties, caRno surpass Yuma. For productiveness, size and flavor
 our grapes are unexcelle1.
 The list of production already given, athougl long, might be extended indefinitely. for every
 thing native to the semitropics may be added
 This, however, is not necessary, for in those al ready mentioned are noted possibilities of luxur and wealth for those who settle in this virgl f country.

 and Reservoirs.

The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subjeetioR the rise of water in canal, due to an over-abund' ant flow, or to sudden rises in the canal owing to severe rains or storms.
 It is particularly valuable to have such Water Gate placed in lower bank of canal at such points along it's line Where there Rayines, Gullies, Arroyos, Foot Hills, Buttes, or Tableland, as any rains or storms bring down at such points surplus of water that is very dangerous to the banks Of canal Tie Waste Gate, however, will prevent such damage, as it is
 sELF-ACTING AND PERFECT SAFETY VALVE Relieving the canal, at short intervals, of it's sur plus water, thus preventing the washing away or banks, and causing great damage generally, no alone to canal, but property owners all 2long the line who may suffer more or less damages there after for the want of water owing to the damaged condi ion of cana, and while such repair are being made Not only is it valuable to relieve canal of it's surplus wat;r, to prevent damage and eX- pense, but by it's use the first cost of canal con- structon will be materially lessened, the banks need not be made so high wide.
 The device Is extremely simple, and compara- lively inexpensive Its plan of operation is this:
 There is a pipe fastened to an opening in the vertical gate, l. When the body of water rises to the level of the upper end of pipe, 2, water runs freely into the tank, g. which is immediately dlled thus oVerbalancing the weight, 4, which is on the other end of lever, B. thus forcing open the gate, which suddenly relieves the canal of a large sur plus of water. When body of water recedes below a certain evel no more water is admitted to the tank; therefore empties itself by 8 small faucet opening 6, at the bottom; this being done, the weight overbalanees tank, and brings down the lever. which, being rigid to the swinging gate, closes it. This operation continues at short in terVals so long as the body of water keeps rising over a certain level. The lever, gate, pipe and tank are all rigid, and hinge, or pivot, on hori zontal shaft. The gate, Hume or bsx can be made any height width, or length desired. The gate can be hinged between any bulkhead without box
 The Water Gate is a Perfect Safety Valve, and is to body of water what a safety valve is to steam. They caI be made any size, corresponding with body of Wa ter and size of canal. It is secured by letters patent and for sale only by

LANDS AND SOILS.

The lands of Yuma County comprise the river bottoms and valleys and the uplands or mesas The bottom lands are moister and slightly more terte' if, indeed. it is possible to m ke comparisons where all are so wonderfully productive and prolific
 The uplands or mesas are warmer and, perhaps, slightly better for the cultivation of the citrus fruits Yuma contains variety of soil. The valley lands

THE CHA VALLEY.

''There is probably no compact body of agricult- ural land in the whole world that will equal in area and fertility the valley of Gila, commencing at Florence and ending at Yuma, including the Salt river valley. It is more than 200 miles in length, with an ave age width of perhaps 20 miles and there is sufficient water to irrigate every foot of it. The ca abilities of production of this vast tract of land is something almost incredible to those who have not witnessed the prolific growth of veg .tation in Southarn Arizona. Everything the temperate zone produces will flourish here, and many tropical and semi-tropical fruits and plants grow exceedingly well. There is hardly variety from the de :iduous fruits of the most northern States to the delicate citrus productions of the southern countries, that cannot be successfully grown in this valley and the tropical banana and the date are readily cultivated with little care. This wide range of produ :tion, in addition to the ong season, in which from two to four crops mat ure during single year, presents a wonderful ar ray of advantages that arc apparent to the most casual observer In addition to this, there is an exclusive supply of the earliest anl most profitable
 market enjoyed by It's fruit raisers involving rare benefits that Io other se:tion enjoys, The climate is all that mankind can wish for the pure, dry at mosphere being especially beneficial to invalids and luxuri to the robust. There are absolutely none of the evils that act dweller; in other local ities and all the conditions of health and prosper ity are concentrated in this marvellous region. The
 time is close at hand when this valley will support dense population of happy and prosperous people and it will acqI re fame throughout the world as the nearest approach to an earthly paradise.''-- Florence Enterprise.

There is more point in the fol-
lowing few lines than can be found
in an average speech containing
many columns: We let our tim
ber rot and buy fencing. We
throw away our ashes and grease,
and buy soap. We raise dogs and
buy hogs. We let our manure go
to waste. We grow weeds, and
buy vegetables and brooms. We
catch five-cent fish with four-dol-
lar rod. We build school houses
and send our children off to be ed
ucated. And, lastly, we send our
boys out with $40 gun and a $40
dog to hunt for 10-cent bird.
That is precisely what is being
done all over Oregon, and the hard
times is largely due to this indolent
state Of affairs.-Ex.

for repentance that they want.
They are now rushing up and

We pity these poor deluded men
whose families are on the verge Of
starvation, and who are about to
be eyicted from their homes, yet
they have no one to blame but
themselves. The labor agitator and
the walking delegate stirred them
into mutiny, and having had their

Abolish all laws for the collection
of debts and the mortgage crop
would not be so luxuriant, while
money would be more plentiful for
legitimate enterprise. It would
then have to seek investment in in
dustrial undertakings, rather than
in mortgages and bonds as now.
Nothing is more detrimental to q
free country and a free people, to
prosperity, peace and comfort, than
an interest-taking class, supported
by an interest-paying class and
perpetuated by the mortgage and
bond upon the soil. Persist in, it
means in time 3 nation of masters
and slaves, a nation of arrogance
and servility, rather than nation
of independence and freedom. .-E.

The election in Alabama on
Monday resulted in q complete
victory for the democrats. The
populists and the republicans COM
bined for the purpose Of defeating
the democrats. For weeks past
we have been hearing the claim
made by the populists and republi-
cans that the democrats would be
completely overthrown in that
state. The result in that state
shows that popnlism is rapidly
waning there. Two years ago the
democrats defeated the same COM
bination by l1,437 majority. This
year the majority as indicated by
the returns will reach 5000. Both
branches of the legislatures is demo-
cratic assuring the reelection OF

to be rapidly dying out in the

Now let us quit talking tariff

If we are to have revival of pros
perity we must begin to work for
it, And the work must commence
right here at home. It is by en-

ing each other that prosperous con-
ditions will be resumed. Let us

In Oregon the hard times are
practically over. The returns from
the present harvest will place the
people generally in an easy condi-
ton. We feel confident that Oregon
viii revive from the depression
long before her sister states. The
conservative business methods Of
the people here warrant this belief.
The conduct of the laboring class
during the past great strike has
been such as to inspire confidence
in capitalists. Oregon has been
charged with being one of the slow
est states in the Union, but the
present speedy return of conf
dence here and revival of business,
has demonstrated that she has
been steady and sure rather than
backward.
