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 ba'. waited so long is breaking at last. There Is every promise of day of great pros perity and permaneanpp nppbuilding just be Ffore her. Theimpulse Of a new and encr- 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- tlon and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have herero- fore gone a-begging for ownership There Is a scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this The rates of interest arc 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 and weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and then down. the clouds of despondcncy LdNC ouuUOAlJ lOlICu away anu SuubufSI 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 the great Tombstone boom and the conl- pletion of two transcontinental lines Of railroad across her territor5 has rather dropped ont of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- c,unulating fund of substantial wealth and a force Of moral character whicI 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 iron the moral point of view. There is but one considerable center of Mexican population in the territory, the city of Tncson, ano even there it is not ly any means at p,,e- ent the predonlinating element. l. thiA it is certain tErit arizona has not to-ca, nearly so large a Mexican popn.ation a. Colorado and not above cEe tenth as mnc! as New Mexico. ."Fitz Mac" iu Denver News,

 of Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

A white nan first set foot on what is now Ynma County in l77l. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter ritcry. 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 undeyeloped riches the eyes ot the ountry are at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with a rapiditv that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographl- esl position we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural possibili- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by a 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 fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life giving waters ot the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

RECEIVING SEED GRAIN.
The Applicants at Pratt Are Too Numer
Gus For the Supply.

The Applicants at Pratt Are Too Numer-
For the Supply.
PRATT, March 16.-A large number of
farmers were in town this week getting
their proportion of the seed grain loaned
out by the county. Only three cars of
oats had arrived on Tuesday and the
county commissioners each took charge
of car and the work of distribution
commenced. The applicants get their
orders from the county clerk and then
go to the cars and get their grain. None
of the potatoes or corn has yet arrived
and only half of the oats, but the re-
mainder may be expected almost any
time. A car load of barley from Kansas
CITY has arrived.
There were SO many applicants that
no one was able to get as much seed as
he wished, but the supply was distrib-
uted to each in proportion to the amount
of ground to be seeded. Some farmers
who have from twelve to thirty head of
stock have made application and taken
an affidavit that they are unable to pro-
cure grain III any other way.
1t was just learned yesterday that a
mistake had been made by the shipping
clerk whereby he had charged up the
freight, but the railroad company discov-
cred the error and refunded the money
to the county. This will entitle each
farmer to a rebate of five cents per
bushel on the oats already delivered,
which makes the price 81 cents per bush
ell instead of 81 cents.
The potatoes will not be shipped until
the weather gets warmer.
