ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de velopment There can't be 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 upbuildiDg 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 i'm pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her full 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 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 and then down, the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and a sunhurst of cnergizing hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeayor than before.
 For the last twelve years tho subsidcnee of the q eat Tombstone boom and tho com petion of two transcontinental lines oi railroad across her territory has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac. cunulating a fund of substantial wealth and force Of moral character which
 qualify her now to rise up and take heI 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 1 1T the territory, the city of Tucson, and even there it is not by any means at pres ent the predoninating element. It think 1t is certain thGt Arizona has not to-day nearly so large Mexican population as Colorado and not above ono-tenth as much l IS New Mexico, --"Fits- Mac," in Denver News

The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subjectioS the rise of water in canal, due to an over-a6und ant flow, or to sudden rises in the canal owing ts 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 are kayines; Guihes.

THE CLIMATE 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 ill mid-sum- mer may al times rise above l00o, and oc- casionally even reach li00, yet, owing to the absence of moisture in the air, 1t is not oppressive. The atmosphere is pure, light and balmy. When the mercury marks the highest extreme of heat, a person does not feel that oppression or debility which is felt in the Eastern States when the ner- cury is ranging from SO' to 9O'. The air is 50 dry that precipitation is absorbed as soon as it reaches the surface of the hody, and at no time in the summer does the heat produce any discomfort.

Thursday was day of fires in this city,
there being three alarms from diffcrcn,
/ boxes in less than three hours time in the
afternoon. The first one sounded at ?. 81
p. M. from box 30, which called the de-
partment to the Plains. where there was
small blaze in a chamber in the house
of Raymond Cote. The fire was started
by child playing with matches, setting
fire to some clothing in closet. The
house was considerably smoked, but the
whole loss will be less than $25, as very
little water was thrown. Hardly had the
firemen returned to their work when an
alarm came from box as, which was on
account of small fire On the roof Of the
Flood block on Main street. This one
started from sparks from chimney
which had burned out, and like the first
was extinguished In short order by a well
directed stream of water, with a loss of
only few dollars. Tho alarm for the
third and most serious CT all came at
4.45 p. NJ, from box So, at "Crummett' S
Mills, on account of a fire in A. G.
Bowie's dry house. When the department
arrived, the fire had good start and as
the building was surrounded by piles of
lumber, things for II time looked serious
A strong wind was blowing from the
south. and though the fire was all in the
building, the flames were breaking out
through the roof and sparks were flying
to leeward in a threatening manner
Three lines of hose were laid, two of
which were afterward united into the
Eastman Deluge nozzle and an immense
amount of water poured into the build
ing. The house was completely filled
with lumber, set edgewise, and in it the
fire retained stubborn foothold The
roof of tho building was burned off and
the walls, which were of brick, badly
warped. Had the house been built wholly
of wood, bad fire must have resulted,
but as it was the fire was kept within the
building and nothing damaged outside
The building was owned by w. B. Arnold
and it is hard to estimate the loss. If
the walls are damaged SO that they will
have to be taken down, it will cost $500
or S400 to rebuild; if not, the building can
be repaired for $50. No insurance. Mr..
Bowie places the loss on his lumber in
the dryhousc at 5000; no insurance.

HOW HUNTINGTON SUCCEEDED.
What He Would DO If He Were Young
and Had 100000.

asked Coils Z. Huntington, the great
railroad magnate, to what he attributed
his success in life, and he replied:
Attention to my own business.
Mr. Huntington was "a forty miner. ~
| arrived in sacramento with nothing" he
| said, land was glad to get job in gen
eral store at ii very small salary. Our Gus
toners were mostly miners. There were
three other clerks, who devoted most of
their time to running around with tho
boys. l stuck to the store and gained the
)niidcnce of the proprietor. BY and by
ccamc n partner, and after that fortune
tame easily"
If you had to begin life anew, " asked,
what would you dor What do you regard
rs the best field for young mani"
IF l We're young and had 800, 000,"
he replied, Il would go at once to the Con
go Free State and buy rubber Over across
the mountains you can buy it crude for
cent pound. To get it down to the coast
for shipment you would probably have to
pay cent or two more. The natives will
carry it over on their backs for that price.
1t doesn't cost much to ship it to New
York, where you can usually count on
about 81 a pound. It's an adventurous

that will pay better. I'd be worth 81 ,000,-
700 in ten years if were young man and
could start with 100000"
But suppose you did not have the $780,,
000?'' asked
Then I'd start with $40, 900 and take
my chances" he replied.
But, Mr.. Huntington, said, sit Is
not every man that has $4,000. What
would you do if you did not have that
sum?'
"A young man in this day and genera
ton who does not possess $40, 900 had bet
ter stay at home and work at something
till he gets it, was the answer And,
he continued, II guess the only way to get
1t is to save it,.
Ward McAllster, the social director OF
the Four Hundred, endeavored to persuade
Mr.. Huntington to invest in certain stocks
in Wall street. "Mr. McAllister," said the
pioneer, II have made 1t the rule OF my
life never to go outside of my own enter
prises for investment They offer me all
the opportunities for speculation need. /
do not believe in scattering my resources.
If l do not have faith in my own com
panies, how can / expect others to take
stock in them:'
Mr. Huntington's fortune Is variously
estimated at from $4,000, 900 to $40, 00O,-
600. He began with nothing.-New York

APOPLExY.
Most Cases Occur Between the Ages Of
Thirty and Sixty.

"Thrce- fourths of all adult apoplexy &C.
ours between the ages of 80 and 60, being
pretty evenly distributed between the
fourth, fifth and sixth decades, says DR..
G. l.. Dana in a medical print.
Excessive mental work. he declares
later, 'docs not lead to apoplexy, and
brain workers do not die of this disease
unless they are Incorporate in eating.
drinking and perhaps in smoking, though
on this latter point feel doubtful. The
conditions of modern civilization undoubt.
edly are tending to increase the number Of
cases of apoplexy, particularly those due
to rupture of blood vessels. The fact that
under better sanitary conditions more per-
sons reach the apoplcctic age is one cause
of this. Tho gradual lessening of the num-
Der of occult infectious fevers, and the
consequent lessening of mortality from
such diseases, increase the proportionate
number of deaths due to diseases of the
arterial system. In fact the stress of mod
ern civilization shows more SO far as or
ganic disease is concerned, upon the arter-
les than upon the nervous system. The
increased opportunities for Indulgence In
luxurious modes Of living and in excessive
eating and drinking tend to impair the
integrity of the coats of the arteries and to
promote conditions of arterial fibrosis. Al
ready this fact may be demonstrated from
the statistics of our great cities, as well as
dcduced from the known laws of pathology.
As To the exciting cause Of the attacks
of apoplexy, some misrepresentation APP
parcntly prevails. We all Know that many
fatal cases occur in persons who have been
on drunken spree, and that of all cxcit-
ing causes Of fatal strokes alcohol is the
most potent. On the other hand, In my
experience very few attacks take place, as
is currently supposed, during some cspe-
cial mental or bodily strain. About ono.
fourth of those stricken with apoplcxy die
from the attack"
All of which is encouraging to persons
conscious of ovcrtaskcd mental effort and
should be read, too, by novelists, particu-
larly women novclists, who are very fond
of disposing of villain or any incumbdr-
ing character By stroke of apoplexy at
some exciting climax in his career 40
corling to DIR. Dana, this is precisely tho
moment when he would not have ONE
New York Times.
