With know ing smile she said that she would sell th ? pies at $1 each. One of the men in the reg iment understood in a moment what that meant and he immediately bought a pie. The rest of us followed suit and shortly the woman did not have one left. The men ran to their tents and broke open the pies. On the inside was a flat bottle filled with whisky and be- fore night every one in camp was feel ing rather happy.

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
perity and permanent upbuilding just be-
fore her. The impulse of new and ener-
giving hope is visible everywhere among
her people. while the cumulative effect of
many things, which made but small i'm
preston as they TRANSFERRED singly, is now
commanding for her a full share of atten-
ton and interest abroad among home
seekers and capitalists.
A 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 a 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 dependency
have suddenly rolled away, and a sunburst
of energizing hope has thrilled the droop-
ing spirits of the people to greater and
Drawer 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 a fund of substantial wealth
and 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 predominatng element. 1t think
it is certain that Arizona has not to-day
nearly so large a Mexican population as
/ Colorado and not above ono-tenth as much
as New Mexico -"Fitz- Mae" in Denver

canals,'

and
Reservoirs

The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC
WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in suhjcctioa
the rise of water in canal, due to OVer-abund-
ant flow, or to sudden rises i'll the canal owing to
severe rails or storms.
1t is particularly valuable to have such a Water
Gate placed in lower bank of canal, at such points
along its line Where there ara Ravines, Gullies,
ArrOyos Foot Hills Buttes, or Tableland, as any
rains storms bring down at such points surplus
of water that is very dangerous to the banks of
canal. Tie Waste Gate, however, will prevent
such damage, as it is
SELF-ACTING AND A PERFECT SAFETY VALVE.
Relieving the canal, at short intervals of its sur
plus water, thus preventing the washing away of
banks and causing great d2maSe generally, no
alone to canal but property ali along the
line, who may suffer more or less damages there
anterior the want of water owing to the damaged
condition OF canal, and while such repairs are being
made. Not only is it valuable to relieve canal of
its surplus water, to prevent damage and eX-
pense, but by its 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 compare
lively inexpensive Its plan of operation is this:
There is pipe fastened to opening in the
vertical gate, 1. When the body of water rises to
the level of the upper end of pipe, 2, water runs
freely into the tank, 8, which is Immediately filed,
thus Overbalancng the weight, 4, which is on ths
other end of lever, s. thus forcing open the gate,
which suddenly relieves the canal of a large
plus of water. When body of water recedes below
certain level, no more water is admitted to the
tank; therefore empties itself by a small faucet
opening, g. 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 the body Of water keeps rising
over certain level The lever, gate, pipe and
tank are all rigid, and hinge, pivot, on hori-
zontal shaft The gate, hume or bex be made
anv height width or length desired. The gate can
be hinged between any bulkhead without box.
The Water Gate is a Perfect Safety Valve, and -
to body of water what a safety valve is to steam.
They can be made any size, corresponding with
body of water and size of canal. Il is secured By
letters patent, and for sale only by
