A Letter from Rev. DIR. Pitt; Another
from IL. j. Hancock. Esq.

Richmond, Va. January !, 1886.
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
IN your article in Sundays issue on
"Hoise-Eaclng and Book Making you
say:
The Governor and many others favor
d total prohibition OF book-making and
pool-sellng In Virginia: but II is doubt
fui II thei- proposition can succeed. The
agricultural societies and driving clubs,
or many OF them. will oppose it,
j honestly believe that IL law to
totally prohibit these vicious practices
were submitted 10 popular vote In the
state IL would be approved by three
fourths OF the voters.
H. the prosperity OF our Agricultural
and Mechanical Society. or is that OF
like societies In the State. bound ~ with
the maintenance of systematized and OF
ganized gambling? Surely our gentle
mems riding and driving clubs do not
depend for their interest upon so cor
rupt.ng a vice. Why shouldn't the views
Of our excellent Governor and many
othc:s' prevail? Why should the Leeisla-
tuie grant 10 any society anywhere the
right TO corrupt the youth OF tife State
during eighty OF ninety days as you
suggest any more than during 800
days? Does public sealtiment ~ Virginia
favor sSstcmatized gambling? Why shall
vs. have this abominable business under
the conduct Of agricultural societies any
more than under the disreputable gang
whom Governor O'Ferrall has driven be-
You'd the Potomac? There are thousands
OF your readers. Mr.. Editor. who would
throw up their caps FOR YOU IL YOU were
TO use your powerful influence 10 break
up. TO cxtermnate, to annihilate a vice
which is evil. only evil. and evil con-
rinually. Mr.. Maupin may be sure that
In bis bill for the suppression OF gambling
he has behind him the Christian senti-
ment OF the State. If | do not greatly
mistake. he will hear from a great many
good people TO this effect
Yours, u. III. PITT.

 of Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

A white nan first set foot on what is now Yuma 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 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 of the country are at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with a rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural posslblll- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting oaly water to become paradise ot bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already a reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters of the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

by the construction of irrigatng ditches and there is no investment which assures larger or more permanent returns"
 The foregoing statemcnts are not exaggerated; in fact, they fall short of doing justice to this derful land. Pineappies, dates, almonds and wal nuts will do well. Strawberries raspberries, black berries entrants, gooseberres, and all varieties of small fruits be successfully cultivated Indeed, Yuma County is not only the natural home of the citrus and semi tropical fruits, as almost every fruit, nut, plant, grain, grass or vegetable which eau be produced in either trOpic temperate zone, will thrive inits 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 home can be made with little labor.
 Because so great 8 variety of products can be grown
 Because the yield is large and the priced always remunerative.
 Because life is luxury in a land where the sun shines every day.
 Because there are chances for poer 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 Q piece of land.
 Because capital does not block all the av- enues to wealth, nor 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 .rmoral 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 a fair com pensation for his labor, and the 'rustler' has field for the display of his energy and en- terprise.
 Because there are neither blizzards or ] tornadoes, earthquakes nor inundations, 1 snow-storms nor cyclones.
 Because the vast and varied resources of the country are yet to be developed.
 Because the wealth of it's mines, it's farm ing valleys, and grazing lands, will yet build up great and prosperous county.
 Because 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 under it's cloudless skies.
 Because the settler need not spend 8 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 i've years to develop in a 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 it's pure, dry inviooratino air. epidemic diseases cannot live or germinate
 Because its people are generous, liberal, hospitable and progressive.

 Because there is demand for additiona! facilities for ore reduction.
 Because there are vast stretches of rich soil to be reclaimed by the construction of irrigating canals.

 Because the opportunities for engaging in the successful cultivation of semi-tropic fruits are better than in any other part of the United States

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 i'm pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her a full share of atten- tion and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists
 1 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-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 predominating element. It think it is eel tain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large 8 Mexican population as Colorado and not above one-tenth as much as New Mexico, ,"Fitz- Mac" in Denver News.
