the natural home for alfalfa and grapes" Another 'quiclx farming ex- perience'' is that of D. s. Weaver and Harry Argall, who came here from Da- xota last fall, together with large colony from the sarae section. Mir. Argan took up a homestead at once, and is now ready t9 cut his first crop of hay. In his former country and -csfmate it took all sorts of planning and preparation, covering a space of nearly two years to make Showing. Here, with water, it took him about six months. Other ranchers are doing we'll, having in from 20 to 60 acres of alfalfa, fruits and vegetables, like Judge Marshall, Lew. English, Jim Kremer, J. F. Alexander, Chas. Ben nett, E. Lohman, Jesse Mayhew, Phony Price, etc. The Rev. Henry Gunsaulus, the eminent Chicago divine, owns $40 acres adjoining the town. It is not improved. F. E. Maldonado has made considerable advancement on his raEch. He is inbu ed with the proper spirit advancement and im- provement of the country. He openly states that had he his title perfected | he wanld donate every other 10-acre lot s6 bona tde settlers, knowing that such additional improvement would not alone benefit him, but assist in fill ing the valley with settlers. There are thousands of acres open for settle ment. The home-seeker can leave his bleak northern home, and in less than one year see the fruits of his labors. The influx will be great when these matters are fully known, and forum ate are thcae who get in on the ground floor.

tion, and declares all such laws to be null and void, enumerating as follows:
 Creating, increasing or decreasing fees, percentage or allowances of rublic officers during the term for which said officers are elected or appointed.'
 The law as it passed both houses, taking effect January l, 1897, was 2 good law, but as it is published it is rank injustice, and is subject to attack on numerous grounds. It is virtually violation of contract. Men who are elected to office and receive their coin missions have an implied contract with the county to perform their duties for a specified sum until the expiration of their term of office. No law which violates contract is constitutional.
 No, MT. Guardian, the worst feature about the whole affair is the dispo- sition shown to take an unfair advan- tage, to do wrong, to be dishonest, and the TRIBUNE insists that such course will not and should not prevail.

Irrigation Notes.

Public sentiment in favor of irriga- tion is growing rapidly.
 Large crops can be raised on irrigat- ed land and at the same time mort gages can be raised off the land.
 The size of sugar beets can be con trolled by irrigation, and by irrigation -is u lEasfee Esssf quantity ef saccharinc can be developed.
 The first irrigation system-And the Lord God planted garden eastward in Eden ** and river went out of Eden to water the garden. See second chapter of Genesis.
 Flax grown by irrigation for both fiber and seed promises to be profit able. A Kansas farmer produced 11oO pounds of fiber, worth Il cents, and 2S bushels of seed, worth sl.2O, making s154; cost SIS, or profit of $l06.6C per acre.
 Fruit is much better when it makes quick and unchecked growth. A dronth will check the development of fruit and make 1t small, dry and fla. vorless. Judicious irrigation makes fruit large, crisp, juicy and of excellent flavor, and it is the only thing that can be depended upon to do this.
 Ninety per cent. of the Mormon peo. pie are land owners or heirs of the soil The average annual income for forty years has been $1,357.25; expenses $S75; surplus, $4S2.25. This could no have been but for irrigation. Not pel cent. of the remaining population os the United States are landowners There are room and opportunities ye- within the United States for fifty tC one hundred million people to dc what the Mormons have done polygamy ex eepted.

 This is no new country; it may be called such for the white settler, but evidences are so numerous of prehis- torie settlement that the present era of subjection of land to modern forms of farming, are but the taking up of 2 thread laid down centuries ago by 6 peaceable, thriving and agricultural

The irrepressible Mike Rice, who is one of the surveying party, writes as follows to Chas. P. Mason, under date of Mesa, June 9th:
 After long ar... weary years, at last I am on sily w;ayto Florence. As you must know l am with the North and South engineer corps, and we are in the preliminary act of connecting Florence with prosperity and civiliza- tion.
 ssWe move out on the desert to- morrow (Monday), and if everything goes smooth we will reach Florence two weeks from to-day. There are twelve men in our party end they are the jolliest set of .de'il-may you could meet in a long time. It is un- necessary to say we take every place by storm, especially the ladies. Mesa gave us several send-offs, and I have been telling the boys cf the beati- tudes of Florence in that regard, and they anticipate good reception. Of course we don't expect the liberty of the city, Ia Monihan, nor presen- tations of purses or bouquets, but we hope to meet her fair daughters and gallant sons in the mazy waltz-some thing of that kind, you know. This much have promised them, and don't want to be disappointed in my antici- pations."

THE description of the Casa Grande

THE description of the Casa Grande valley in this issue is so full and com plete as to crowd out much interesting matter. Later on the TRIBUNE pro poses to have an edition devoted to the mining interests of Pinal, which are not excelled by any county in the Territory. It is to be hoped the efforts made by this paper to attract outside capital and desirable immigrants will be appreciated.
