ARIZONA

Arizona stands at the threshold Of ar
era Of wonderful social and Industrial de
velopment. There can't be a doubt about
the fact. The dawn for which she ha,
waited so long is breaking at last There
! is every promise of day of great pros
perity and permanent upbuildiDg just be-
fore her. The impulse of a new and ener
! giving hope is visible everywhere among
her people. while the cumulative effect Of
many things, which made but small i'm
preston as they transrired singly, is now
| commanding for her full share of atten.
ton and interest abroad among home
seekers and capitalists.
A lively competition has sprung up for
the possession of things which haveeherero-
fore gone begging for ownership. There
is scramble for franchises. Nothing more
surely indicates great industrial awaken,
ing than this. The rates CT interest are
falling TO moderate figures. Nothing more
surely indicates confidence and competition
among the money lenders than this.
Arizona has reached that climacticer
| period which every western state has ex.
perienced sometime in its history when
after long aud weary struggle and doubt
With each side Of the balance first up and
then down, the clouds of dependency
have suddenly rolled away, and a sunhurst
of energizing hope has thrilled the droop-
ing spirits of the people to greater and
Drawer endeavor than before.
For the last twelve years the subsistence
of the great Tombstone boom and the com
| pletion Of two transcontinentaI lines OF
railroad across her territor5 -Arizona has
rather dropped out of public attention,
hut in that time she has been quietly ac-
cumulating a 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. 1t think
it is certain that arizona has not to-day
nearly so large a Mexican popu lation as
Colorado and not above One-tenth as much
as New Mexico. -"Fitz- Mac" in Denver

Resources
Of
Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

A white man first set foot on what is
now Ynma County in III. 1t is the
southwest division of the Territory, and
one of the four original counties of the Ter.
ritory. Many great reclamation projects are
however on foot, and in a few years ex-
pect to see Yuma County rated as the
richest in the Territory.
The first glimpse the traveller from Cali
fornia catches Of Arizona is that of the
picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugly
situated in the embrace of gentle rolling
hills, upon whose crests and sides the
modern homes of our superior civilization
are crowding the adobe dwellings into
eternal oblivion. Yuma Is the gateway to
Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon
whose undeveloped riches the eyes of the
ountry are at present turned, and as such,
she is bound to grow and prosper with a
rapidity that at present can hardly be re-
Allied. But coupled with her geographic
cal position we find that she is the center
Oft country whose agricultural possibili-
ties are practically unlimited, being sur
rounded by soil the fertility of which
exceeds that of the delta OF the Nile, and
wanting oaly water to become paradise Of
bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious
fuid have annually gone to waste at
Yuma's very doors, but already reaction
is taking place and many enterprises are
on foot 70 supply the life-giving waters Of
the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

Gate placed in lower bank of canal at such points

rains or storms bring down at such points surplus
! of water that is very dangerous to the banks Of

such damage, as it is
SELF-ACTING AND A PERFECT SAFETY VALVE
Relieving the canal at short intervals, of its sur
plus water, thus preventing the washing away OF
banks, and causing great damage generally, no
alone to canal, but property owners all along the
line, who NAV suffer more or less damages there
after for the want of water owing to the damaged
eondi ion of canal and while such repair are being
made. Not only is it valuable to relieve canal OF
its surplus water, to prevent damage and ex-
pense but by its the first cost Of canal con-
truction will be materially lessened, as the banks
need not be made so high or wide.
The device is extremely simple, and compara-
lively inexpensive Its plan of operation Is this:
There is a pipe fastened to 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 filed,
thus overbalancing the weight, 4. which is on the
other end of lever, s. 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 level, no more water is admitted to the
tank; therefore emptleS lUSelI Dy small fauceb
opening, g. at the bottom; this being done, the
weight overbalapces tank, and brings down tho
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 q hori-
zontal shaft The gate, fume 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 Perfect Safety Valve, and IL
to a body of water what safety valve is to steam.
They can be made any size, corresponding with
body of water and size of canal 1t is secured BY

GOVERNOR NELSON'S
PRESENT.

At o'clock last saturday afternoon,
the officials at the State Capitol includ-
ing several officials from out of town,
all of whom participated in the gift,
gathered in the large outer office, and
called Gov. Nelson from his private
room. Supt. Pendergast who acted as
spokesman for the donors in a neat
little speech, expressed the admiration
of the state officials for the patriotic
and statesmanlike manner in which
the governor had conducted the affairs
of the state, reviewed the various forms
in which the public appreciation had
been manifested, and finally, thanking
the governor in the name of those he
represented for uniform kindness and
courtesy, presented him with the bowl.
The Governor expressed his deep graft
fication at such testimonial of the
regard and esteem of his associates and
assistants, and expressed the belief

THE convention of the American
Federation of Labor held at Denver,
Colorado, closed it's session on the 18th
and was an interesting event. Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers, who seems to
have incurred the hatred of many of
the delegates for his refusal to call out
the Federation in support of the A. r.
Z. strike last summer, was defeated
for reelection, and John Mcbride Of
the United Mine Workers was elected
president. The headquarters was also
moved from New Y ork to Indianapolis,
The present officers of the Knights
of Labor were severly scored; charging
them with being the cause of the pres
ent inharmony, and should not be
classed among true labor union men;
that they have endeavored for years to
secure that power which has made it
possible for them to control all general
assemblies of the organization, and
thus perpetuate themselves in office
Mr. Mcbride favOrs unity of action
among all labor unions. He is strong
conservative man, and will make {
good executive.

How OFTEN we hear the remark,
that she is awake only when he is
asleep" There is considerable truth
mingled with sarcasm in this
statement to many of us; and though
some of our fellow-prisoners may grim
ace at the physicians dose, the same
will benefit them if "taken with the
spirit of faith" We know, from sad ex-
perience, that after man has received
the sentence of the court, and for some
time after arriving at his place OF
punishment and reformation (fOr it is
intended as both) his principal feelings
are those of hopelessness and apathy,
and he is very apt to perform only
perfunctorily those duties assigned to
him, thinking that now nothing counts.
This applies more particularly to the
novice in crime and his punishment
though in general measure to all.
Now, "boys'" to those of you who are
still cherishing and tenderly caring for
this apathetic sensation land it is an
open question whether sensation can
be wrung from apathy we would say,
don't. If for no ones good but your own,
wake up! The great majority of us ex-
pect to again mingle with the world

that no state could boast of a more
honest and efficient service. He said
that he considered that they were all
there, he among the rest, to do the
work of the state as ably and conscien-
tiously as was in their power and that
he was deeply grateful for the harmony
and good feeling that existed among
them.
Both Governor Nelson and Mr..
Prendergast's speeches were roundly
applauded. The fruit bowl is an elabo-
rately designed article of hammered
silver, lined with gold; its surface is
deeply wrought with continuous
pattern of fruit and flowers, on each

THE CARS subjects, at least those
of Poland, are rejoicing that at last
they have ruler who seems disposed
to repair some of the great wrongs
they have been afflicted with during
the past 100 years. Shortly after
Nicholas II, assembled the throne, he
granted full pardon to all political
offenders of the period of '63-'64
whether in foreign countries or exhiled
in Siberia, and great many Polanders
in the United States are made happy,
as now they can return to their native
land without fear of arrest.
TO a great many, however, in this
country, where they had sought refuge
after the revolt of '63 this amnesty
brings little comfort. When they fled
their native land they left money in
banks which the government seized;
and having fathers and mothers in
Russia, wish to return to their people;
they are poor and cannot do so. The
proclamation however, is hailed with
Joy, and many will take advantage of
it and return to their beloved Poland.
1t is an indication that the new Gar is
humane and means to treat his subjects
with love, and undo some of the wrongs
of his father; we hope he will meet
with every manifestation of fealty
from those who love their country and
would see it peaceful and united
Weed out nihilism, and anarchy, SO
that the Russian Car may mingle
fearlessly with his people; where he
may study personally their wants, and
his heart must go out to them to Their
} betterment. We have always thought
that the late car was ignorant of the
real condition of his subjects; that he
was controlled in great measure by
unwise men; kept secluded, and IL
constant fear by men who were selfish
, and tyrannical, and were looking tt
/ their own personal ambitions. Thu
present is a healthy sign, and it is to b.
hoped that ere the close of the presen
I century, siberia will live in name only
t We hope the car will continue thes
y proclamations until every politica
e prisoner in Siberia is free, and then w
s will hail. ''Long live the Czar.'
