ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de- velopment. 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 a 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 a 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 climacticel 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 an(
 then down, the clouds of despondenc,
 have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurs
 of energizing hope has thrilled the droop
 ing spirits of the people to greater an'
 braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsidenc
 of the great Tombstone boom and the com
 pletion of two transcontinental lines c railroad across her territorS-Arizona Ina
 rather dropped out of public attention but in that time she has been quietly aC cumulating fund of substantial wealt and a force of moral character whic qualify her now to rise up and take he s destiny in her own hands.
 t The population of Arizona is Mexican 0 This is mistake of great importance fror e the moral point of view. There is but on s considerable center of Mexican populatio d in the territory, the city of Tucson, an t even there it is not by any means at pre- e ent the predominating element. It thin }, it is certain that Arizona has not to-da ]. nearly so large Mexican population g e Colorado and not above one-tenth as muc a as New Mexico. .-"Fitz- Mac" in Denvt # News.

The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subjeetlon the rise of water in canal, due to an oVer-aDunu- ant flow, or to sudden rises in the canal owing S0 severe rains or storms. r r,.
 It is particularlv valuable to have such water Gate placed in lower bank of canal at such points along it's line Where there are Raylnes. GuInes, ArrOyOs Foot Hills, Buttes, or IaDlelahd, SS any rains or storms bring down at such points surplus of water that is very dangerous to the banks or canal Tie Waste Gate, however, will prevent such damage, as it is

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 fertile if, indeed. 1t is possible to make comparisons where all are so wonderfully productive and prolific The uplands or mesas warmer and, perhaps, slightly better for the cultivation of the citrus fruits

a Wedding Tint Did Not Take Place.
Loudon Shears was on the warpath this
morning. and he paid 80 cents for war
rant against Lille Ann Croton. Loudon is
a tall colored man, who spent several years
in the army, and now Uncle Sam is paying
him So month for being disabled.
Il don't care nothing bout de seven
dollars" he told Star reporter this morn
ing, but, deed, twas dirty, mean trick
in her..
The reporter asked for an explanation
and the old man made it,
Yesterday morning. he said, he drew his
pension money, $24 and then called on the
widow who had promised to become his
better half last night. According to his
story, he had concluded arrangements for
the event last night and had given the
widow 81 of his pension money. This, he
said, for the purchase of wine and
cake, and, after settling this matter, he
went off and bought license.
But subsequent events proved that he
had built castles in the air, for when he
went TO the widows house, on Q street he
said, she had company and could not see
him.
His subsequent statements indicate that
there was trouble, and the old man, fear
ing he would be arrested, hurried off and
swore out a warrant for her arrest.
The writ has been put in the hands of
the police, and Judge Miller will have to
settle the troubles of the old soldier and
the widow.

the early sitting of the committee was
Mrs. Elizabeth Il. Grannis, the social and
dress reformer.
Raphael Angelo told the committee that
he lost an eye from blow struck by Po-
liceman Zimmerman. He had not sued to
recover damages, because he thought 1t

a suit against a policeman. This witness
said he had paid money through lawyer
whose name he could not recall to escape
prosecution in the jefferson Market police
court.
He was dismissed under injunction To go

he had never paid any money TO the police

LIGHTING THE CITY.
The Controversy Between The Com
pany aud the Comm issioncrs.

The trouble between the lighting depart
ment Of the District and the United States
Electric Light Company eliminated on Sat
urday last, when the latter refused to ac-
cept the schedule providing for the light
ing of the streets a shorter length of time,
basing it's refusal on the act of Congress,
which, it claimed required the company to
keep the lights burning from sunset till
sunrise. The company, however, did not
refuse to light the streets, but went ahead
on the schedule which it claimed Congress
provided
The story of the differences between the
company and the lighting department Of
the District is interesting. Capt. Powell,
when investigating the subject of street
lighting, decided that by shortening the
schedule he would be able to save enoush
money to erect additional lights and forth
with proceeded 10 make out new schedule.
The Electric Company protested and claim
ed that the Commissioners had no right to
amend the schedule which Congress had
specifically made, and which stated that
the lights should burn continuously from
sunset 10 sunrise. When the month rolls
around and the Electric Company makes
application for its pay they will find that
the Commissioners have held up the ac-
counts and that the company Will not be
paid the fun sum heretofore. Then
there will probably be a lawsuit.
