 The foregoing statements are not exaggerated in fact, they fall short of doing justice to this derful land. Pineapples, dates almonds and wal nuts will do well. Strawberries, raspberries, black berries, entrants, gooseberries, and all varieties O small fruits can be successfully cultivated Indeed Yuma County is not only the natural home of tho citrus and semi-tropica fruits, as almost every fruit, nut, plant, grain, grass vegetable which eau be produced in either tropc or temperate zone will thrive in its rich and fertile soils.

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 a day of great pros- perlty 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 a 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 a 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 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 despondency have suddenly rolled away, and a sunburst 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 com pletion of two transcontinental lines of railroad across her territory has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating a 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 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 eel tain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large a Mexican population as Colorado and not above ono-tcnth as much as New Mexico. -"Fitz- Mae" in Denver News.

The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC WATER GATE, to regulate and keep fin subjectioH the rise of water in canal, due to Ovcr-abund- ant flow, or to sudden rises in the canal owing to severe rains or storms.
 It is particularly valuable t. have such Water Gate placed in lower bank of Can2l at such points along its line Where there arc Ravines. GulliesI ArrOyOs, Foot Hills, Buttes, or Iableldnd, as any rains or storms bring down at such points surplus of water that is very dangerous to the banks of canal.

Not only is it valuable to relieve canal of it's surplus water, to prevent damage and ex- pense, but by it's use the first cost of canal con struction will be materially lessened, the banks need not be made so high wide.
 The device is extremely simple, and eOmpara- lively inexpensive Its plan of operation is this;
 There is pipe fastened to opening in the vertical gate, l. When the body of water rises to the level of the upper end of pipe, 2, water runs freely into the tank, g. which is immediately filed, thus overbalancing the weight f, which is the other end of lever, g. thus forcing open the gate, which suddenly relieves the canal of a large sur plu: of water. When body of water recedes below certain level, no more water is admitted tS the
 
 opening, 6, at the bottom; this being done, the weight Overbalanees tank, and brings down the lever, which, being rigid to the swinging gate, closes it. This operation continues at short in tervals so long as the body of water keeps rising over a certain level. The lever, gate, pipe and tank all rigid, and hinge, or pivot, on hori- zontal shaft. The gate, Hume or box can be made any height width, or length desired. The gate can be hinged between any bulkhead without box
