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 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 im- 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 clinacteric 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 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 tke great Tombstone boom and the com pletion of two transcontinental lines of railroad across her territory-Arizona has rather dropped out of public attention. but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating 8 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 a 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 certain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large Mexican population as Colorado and not above one-tenth as much Gs New Mexico.-"Fitz-M Mac," in Denver News.

Weather Report of Arizona.

The following items are taken from the report of director W. R. Burrows of the Arizona Weather Service Bureau:
 Yuma County, Yuma: The weather has been the very best for all kinds of crops, vines and fruits, all of which are doing we'll. Apricots and plums were ripe on the 8th. Fig trees are loaded with fruit. Grapes on the valley lands never before promised such a crop. The finest onions are in the market from the valley and Yuma Heights. The river is overflowingi the lower valley lands, which insures a good crop of wild hay and feed.
 Mohawk: Having is going on over all the valley. There will be several hundred acres of alfalfa and barley hay cut. The crops are good and the weather is just right to cure them. Grapes look fine and promise big yield.
 Palomas: First crop of alfalfa and barley hay harvested; second crop growing very rank and plenti- ful. There is yet plenty of water for irrigation, but the river is get ting low. 1t has been a good week for all growing crops.

It is positively astonishing the extent to which mining develop ments are going on all around us. The last interesting gold proposi- tion is about twenty-two miles north of Indio. It's owner is ex- hibiting solid gold brick in Los Angeles as the result of g. three days run of two stamp mill, and he claims that there are million dollars in sight. Just such stories of gold discoveries are heard all the way from Yuma to the Need les, from Needles to Vanderbilt and from Vanderbilt to St. George county, Utah, and beyond that point to Maopa. We may be as- sured that, from day to day, the same narratives of glad tidings will be reported. This section is but in the initial of it's treasure development. The completion of the Nevada Southern railway to Maopa, and ultimately to Salt Lake City, will lead to miraculous developments in the territory tributary to Los Angeles.-Los Angeles Herald.

Farming for a Living.

Secretary Morton reminds the croakers that only about 3 per cent of all the merchants escape failure, whereas hardly 3 per cent of the farmers fail. The statistics really show that agriculture is safer than
 banking, manufacturing, or rail- roadlng, taking all things into ac- count: There is no farmer of good sense and good health anywhere in the West. MT. Morton declares, who cannot make a good living for himself and family, and that is as we'll as the majority of men are doing in any other pursuit. The man who ownes a farm and sticks to 1t IS certain to profit by it in the future. There is practically no more land to be added to the area of cultivation. The supply of agri- cultural products has reached it's limit in the United States, and must now remain stationary, while the demand will go oh increasing every year. This implies gradual improvement in prices, and a steady appreciation of the value of farming lands.-Scientifc Amer ican.

There has been a considerable amount of figuring as to the com parison between the banana crop and that of other food growths, Early in the present century Humboldt estimated that the same amount of ground that produced 1000 pounds of potatoes would produce A, 900 pounds of bananas. Others have also given estimates that seem startling, but all agree that as food plant bananas produce more to the square inch of ground than any other. A single acre of bananas yields on an average 783 punches, weighing sixty pounds each, every year-a total of 46,9S0 pounds. An acre of wheat, averaging sixteen bushels at sixty pounds, is only 960 pounds; therefore bananas produce about forty-eight times as much as wheat, and that, too, when they are planted at distances of eighteen feet apart: These figures lead one to investigate as to the possibilities of making money in the production of bananas.-Eastern paper.

THE DYING EDHTOR,
He Gives Some Finat nes-
 sages to His Staff.

"The owner of paper lay dying
 in his lair, and the dew of death
 had gathered on his brow so calm
 and fair; but printer knelt beside
 him, as his life-blood ebbed away
 and asked the dying writer if he had word to say The doomed man murmured softly as he grab bed the printers fist: "Well, at last the struggles over and never will be missed. Take a message and a token to that city man of mine, that all his worn-out ches- nuts he had better put in brine. There's his joke about the weather, which he's used this many years, and the gag about the fellow who is always hunting beers. And the item he's so fond of on the man who peddles books, and the ches- nut based on people who go fish ing in the brooks; just to save the papers credit, and to cast no slurs on mine, I would ask him as favor just to put such gags in brine. And the lies he's fond of telling of the street cars and the tracks, and the joke about the man who step ped upon some tacks, and the one about some dandy who will never pay for clothes, and the one on women cleaning house-it's weary. heaven knows! Oh, I know I'll slumber happy in my grave be- meath the vine, if the man who does the city work will put these jokes in brine. Tell the man who tends to business not to weep when I am dead, but to buy himself a club and hit the first man on the head, who comes in with strings of items and requests them printed free, when the regular rates are cheaper than they really ought to be. Tell the foreman when he makes up not to turn a rule for me, but to simply print an item saying that my soul is free; for I want no eulogistic taffy of that kind in mine, and I think such hoary chesnuts should be pickled well in brine. Have that gay and fresh reporter l engaged the other day put stop to saying "Selah," also eve have come to stay" and if he should say "Ye local" you must trample in his gore, for you know I'd ne'er allow it in the hap py days of yore. And the man who comes to tell you how to run the paper we'll should be greeted with a pewter chesnut bell; and you'll print the paper promptly, be the weather full of storms, and the foreman must be careful when he is making up the forms, that the beauty of the paper may through all ages shine, and not be like it's neighbors, only to put in brine.-Oakland Tribune.

We endorse all that is said in this paragraph: 4 newspaper man is in some instances like other people. He respects his friends, appreciates a kindness and is always willing to return favor. In another respect he resembles his fellow men. He will not con- tinue to pat man on the back, tell what a prominent citizen heis, how much he has done for the town and give him free personal puffs when that man will not throw personal prejudice aside or other wise aid in supporting the paper. In other words he stands by the man who stands by him. That's about the way of the world, and a newspaper man can't be expected to be so much different from other people.

THECLIMATE OF YUMA.

The climate of Yuma for nine months of the year has no equal, as we believe, in the world, and during the remaining three months of the year, comprising June, July and August, the heat is not oppressive. Even though the thermometer in mid-sum- mer may al times rise above l0O0, and oc- casionally even reach ll0O, yet, owing to the absence of moisture in the air, it is not oppressive. The atmosphere is pure, light and balmy. When the mercury marks the highest extreme of heat, person does not feel that oppression or debility which is felt in the Eastern States when the mer- cury is ranging from 800 to 9O0 The air is so dry that precipitation is absorbed as soon as it reaches the surface of the body, and at no time in the summer does the heat produce any discomfort.
