ARID LANDS.
Some Ideas from, p LorE-rims Resident
of Arizona.

Some Ideas from p Long Time Resident
of Arizona.
Tucson Star: The statement of Gov
ernor Hughes is that if the lands of the
arid regions were ceded to the states
and territories in which they are located,
they could be utilized for the raising OF
the amounE OF capital necessary for their
reclamation, by granting portion OF
such lan1s as q bonus to the investo1s.
the land, of course, to be held by the
territories or states, with such ilmlta-
tione made by the federal government as
to their disposition as might be deemed
advisable. Another plan suggested IS
that the money be raised by the selling
OF bonds secured by tho land. This land
would only be sold TO bona fide settlers,
on ths installment plan. the money 80
raised to be used as sinking fund Tor the
redemption Of the bonds. When re-
deemed the water system itself would
belong to the territorysor to the land it
served, according to the law made to
govern the same. But. though it did
belong to the territory, the restrictions
placed upon the disposition would still
exist. There would, therefore. be no
heing injured even if Arizona should
have the misfortune of being governed
by Legislature 30 corrupt as that OF
California, where, when the public
funds are sqaaadered, the surprise is
not at the amount misused. but at the
fact that anything has been left. OF
what value are the arid lands to the
government of the country or to the
people at the present time? Only in
the places where private capital has
been expended in their reclamation are
they worth more than the space they
occupy. The national government will
not deal with the matter in any other
way than through the states. And if it
were willing TO do 80, ita action would
hardly be in keeping with our ideas OF
local government. II the lands were
ceded to the states and territories, with
proper limitations as to the manner in
which they should be dealt with, there
is no doubt that money would soon be
found to bring the whole of the great
arid region under cultivation. This
would provide homes for thousands and
would open up new channels for the
Investment of capital. 1t would add
largely to the taxable property OF the
state and would result in the enrichment
of the country at large

On tue east side of Saline valley ex-

the difficulty of transportation prevent

The Noted Croton Works Builder Says
tho System Will Cost 81 100000.
Chief Engineer B. s. Church, of the
New York water works, who built the
celebrated Croton aqueduct and who
has been at the head of the water de-
partment there for many years, has
been consulting engineer in the build
ing of the great canals and reservoirs by
the South Gila canal company, go miles
east Of Yuma, on the Gila.
"The canals and reservoirs will, on
the start" he said s'irrigate in the
neighborhood of 100000 acres, and the
system may be extended to include more
than 100000. The canal system, it is
expected, will cost $4,000, 900. 1t is a
very extensive system; will bring an
immense tract of what is now arid land
under cultivation, and will do much for
Arizona.
"There ia to be canal, with levee.
reservoirs and jetties, forming a series
of lakes for IA miles, which give storage
and enable the projectors to overcome
engineering difficulties. The diverting
dam will be of masonry and earthw0rk,
and will probably be 30 feet high and
1400 feet long. 1t will direct the water
into the chain of lakes.
Beyond the chain of lakes it is smooth
going. There are no natural obstacles.
The canal will probably be 80 feet wide
and carry eight feet of water. The whole
enterprise is on large scale. do not

,hat II would be denied. and that Presi-

IN such way between herself AM tne
