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 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 full share of atten- tion and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists
 4 lively competition has sprung up for i 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 climacticer periodWhich every western state has ex- perienced. sometime in it's 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-Arizona has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulating 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 certain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large Mexican population as Colorado and not above onc-tenth as much as New Mexico -"Fitz- Mac" in Denver News.

acres now profitless, can be made productive by the construction of irrigang ditehes, and there is no investment which assures larger or more permanentreturns."
 The foregoing statements are not exaggerated in fact, they fall short of doing jusceto this won derful land. Pineapples dates, almonds and wal nuts will do we'll Strawberries, raspberries, black berries currants gooseberries, and all varieties of small fruits can be successfully cultivated Indeed Yuma County is not only the natural home of the citrus and semi-tropical fruits, as almost every fruit r ut, plant, grain, grass vegetable which eau be produced in either tropc or temperate zone will thrive in it's rich and fertile soils. WHY IMMIGRANTS SHOULD COME TO YUMA
 COUNTY.
 Because the climate is perfect.
 Because the soil is fertile and prolific.
 Because land is abundant and cheap.
 Because a home can be made with little labor.
 Because so great a variety of products can be grown.
 Because the yield is large and the priced always remunerative.
 Because life is a luxury in land where the sun shines every day.
 Because there are chances for poor man which he can never hope to find in older countries
 Because the country is advancing and property values are increasing.
 Because, unlike Southern California it does not require a small fortune to secure a piece of land.
 Because capital does not block all the av- enues to wealth, nsr crowd the poor man to the wall
 Because Uncle Sam has yet many farms in Yuma county waiting for occupants.
 Because churches, schools, newspapers and railroads are fast developing the moral and material elements of the Territory.
 Because good land is becoming scarce, and if you don't catch on now, your last chance will soon be gone.
 Because the country is one of the few regions of the United States that yields the products of the temperate and semi-tropic zones.
 Because the worker receives 8 fair com pensation for his labor and the hustler has a field for the display of his energy and en- terprise.
 Because there are neither blizzards or tornadoes, earthquakes nor inundations, snow-storms nor cyclones
 Because the vast and varied resources of the country are yet to be developed.
 Because the wealth of its mines, it's farm ing valleys, and grazing lands, will yet build up great and prosperous county.
 Because a man can make livelihood her. with less labor than in any other part of the United States
 Because there is health in every breeze. and strength and vigor pnder it's .cloudIess skies.
 Because the settler need not spend a life time in felling trees and grubbing out stumps.
 Because vegetation is so rapid that in two years the home is surrounded by a growth of trees and shrubs which would require five years to develop in colder cline. Because fortunes here await the venture some, and health welcomes the afflicted.
 Because the country has brilliant future and you want to be in the Swim
 Because in its pure, dry invigorating air, epidemic diseases cannot live or germinate Because its people are generous, liberal, hospitable and progressive

The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC | WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subiection
 the rise of water in canal, due to an ever-abund- ant flow, to sudden rises in the canal owing tc severe rains or storms.
 It is particularly valuable to have such Water Gate placed in lower bank of cansl at such points along it's line Where there Ravines, Gulies, Arroyos Foot Hills Buttes, or Tableland, any rains storms bring down at such points surplus of water that is very dangerous to the banks of canal. The Waste Gate, however, will prevent such damage, as it is

 The device is extremely simple, and compara- lively inexpensive. Its plan of operation Is this:

When the body of water rises to the level of the upper end of pipe, 2, water runs freely into the tank, B. which is immediately hleds thus overbalaneing the weight, 4, which is on the other end of lever, g. thus forcing open the gate, which suddenly relieves the canal of a large sur plus of water. When body of water recedes below a certain level, no more water IS admitted t0 the tank; therefore empties itself by a small faucet opening, 8, at the bottom; this being done, the weight overbalances 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 are all rigid and hinge, or pivot, on hori- zontaI shaft.

The Arctic Inhabitants Are Very

READY TO FIGHT ENGLAND
The Brilliant Outlook in the Yukon
Mining Region
Explains Great Brtain's Dssi-e for Northern
Territory A Large Amount of
Bullion Brought Down
Associated Press epsclal Wire.

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 20.-The citi-
zens OF Alaska are greatly excited over
the boundary line question and propose
to take steps in the matter without de-
lay. They do not want to see what they
term the richest portion of the Uuited
States annexed to British Columbia and
say they will Gght before they will see it
taken. Much dissatisfaction is expressed
at Juneau and other camps over the
dllatory action of the government in this
most important matter. The news was
brought to the city by the steamer City
OF Topeka, whcn arrived in port this
morning, nearly two days overdue, caused
by the large amount of freight.
The paramount reason of the renewed
activity in the boundary line question
is the brilliant outlook of the min ing
properties along the Yukon and in the
vicinity of Juneau. Prospectors are ar
rving in Juneau almost hourly with the
news of rich finds and good feeling runs
riot. Everyone is happy and unite IN
saying that Alaska is the richest country
on the face of the globe and for this rea-
son they desire to arouse sentiment on
the boundary line question. The off
OF the steamer say it is not uncom nj on
to hear the expression "give us ten
leagues or we will tight" They argue
that England knows full we'll the vast
richness OF the country and will leave no
stone unturned to accomplish her desire.
The steamer stopped at Yes bay, where
sh' took on 5000 cases of salmon, forty
y .ssengers, employees of the cannery be-
longing to the Boston Trading and Fish
ing company. Everything is closed up
for the winter and the salmon taken on
board finished the shipments. a stop
was made as Stanford Cove for twenty
five tons OF ore and $1,000 worth of bull
lion, belonging to the Balu Eagle Mining
company. of which n. 6. rowbridge is
one of the principal owners AMI mana
ger. This is the result of the first sea.
sons work, and the ore and bullion is
ex pected to net about $50. 900. At Met
lakatla 700 cases of salmon were taken
or and at kilisnoo 400 barrels of oil and
400 cases of herring were loaded on the
seamer.
Captain McAllip of the steamer Chilcat,
wrecked near Kitchik, was spoken and
said he expected TO right the bhat inside
of two days with favorable weather. He
said she was III a good position and as far
as he could learn was not damaged to
any great extent.
Among the passengers was Peter Wy
berg, who owns one of the finest prop
critics on the Yukon. He had i'll his pos
session ore TO the value of $15 900. some
of the pieces being s, thickly studded
with gold that it was almost i'm possible
to see any rock. This is Wyherg's third
trip ont of the Yukon with large
amount Of ore. He took the steamer
walla Walla for San Francisco. The
steamer also brought down news of
nun ber of rich finds in Sheep Creek ana
other localities.
