ALTGELD'S THANKSGIVING.
A Tribute to the Nobility, Sincerity and
Ability of Gov. AltgeId.

ADliity ol UoV. altSeld.
Three years ago one of those
newspapers which delight in send
ing circulars to such public men as
governors, senator's, &C., sent a note
to the chief executive Of each ot
the states IN the Union, asking;
"Wiil--give thanks this year
and, if so, why?" To this note John
P. Altgeld, then governor of Ill,
inois, replied as follows:
"Yes, Illinois will give thanks
She has enjoyed so many blessings
this year, material and spiritual
intellectual and moral; she has
taken such a forward stride in sight
Of all the world, and has been so
loaded with honers and crowned
with success, and she is feeling SO
grateful to all the earth, that il
there were no God she would ere
ate one in order TO have being to
whom she could pour out her soul
in gratitude.
"She has been free from famine
and pestilence, free from the
scoulges that destroy humanity
and, while she has fell the depres
sion of the times, she has had
bread for her children and habi-
tations for her people. She has
during the year created new tenn
piles Of learning and has been in
troduccd to all the nations. She
has entertained the children Of all
lands, and has seen the best pro-
ductions of the industry, the gen
ius, and the intelligence of the peo-
Piles exhibited here within her
borders. She has witnessed a great
step forward of all the forces that
tend to elevate and enlighten man
kind.
"Here for the first time in his
tory has woman stood on an alb
solutely independent basis in carry
ing out a great work, and here IN
Illinois for the first time since man
gazed at the sun, or appealed to a
God, have the represent tatives of all
religions met and offered each
other friendly hands and given
each other respectful hearing, and
from her precincts has gone forth
this year new gospel of toleration
and cooperation, and a new gospel
Of peace among men and happiness
on earth. Yea, with uncovered
head and with her face toward the
morning, Illinois will give thanks
to the Ruler of the Universe for
having placed her star in the
brightest constellation and given
her a year big with fate and great
in results, year breathing pro-
gress, glowing with inspiration and
covered with glory, a year forever
memorable in the annals of time"

IT is stated that the acid from
tie great works at Clifton is COM
mencing to make itself visible in
the water used on the farms OF
this valley. We always under,
stood that the Copper Company
was very careful to keep the acid
out of the river, but Of course we
have no means of knowing, and we
suppose the presence of acid is
only supposed by anyone. 1t is
claimed that the water will now
kill certain plant life that it was
never known to do before, and we
are told that a test is to be made
to ascertain the cause.

THE farmers of Graham sent
Hon. George Skinner to rep
resent them in the National r.
rigation congress, which met this
week in Phoenix. This is a credit
able move on the part of those peo-
Pile, as this congress is exclusively
in the interest of the farmers. Mr..
Skinner will also probably be ap-
pointed by the Governor to act as
one of the Territorial delegates, in
the place Of Prest. Layton, whose
health is in such a condition that
he was unable to attend.

A wicked exchange says that in
a certain town in Utah woman
has husband who is in the habit
of coming home tipsy at night and
=she decided to frighten him for a
cure. The other night she arrayed
herself in frightful apparel and,
as the boozy husband entered the
door, she said IN a dry, sepulchral
tones: "Come with me; ! am the
devil" "Zat so?" said the husband.
"Shake! I'm your brother-in-law;

Here is the best opportunity of
all; 80 acres offinely improved land
lying next to the Montezuma canal;
40 acres well set in alfalfa; balance
under cultivation; well watered by
4 shares of Montezuma water. This
farm lies near Solomonville, and is
the greatest bargain ever offered in
the valley, at S25.00 per acre; this
is chance for a home, seldom of:

WE believe that the government
should establish a post and station
soldiers permanently at Ash
Springs. There is no other point
in the Territory where Indians do
so much dcvelment as there. All
Indians going through the country
naturally go there for water and
the result is that and traveller in
that vicinity gets killed, and the
nearest soldiers are at Ft. Grant, a
distance of about 70 miles. Why
not establish post at this point?
The soldiers are here for the pro-
lection of citizens and we believe
they should be stationed where
they can give this protection.

WE would like to inquire who
the farmers of the valley at large
the second in size and Importance in
the territory, sent to represent
them in the National Irrigation
Congress, which met at Phoenix
this week. This congress was for
the benefit of the farmers, and a
valley with the reputation of the
Gila certainly should have been
represented.

WE would like to have some
progressive farmer make an ex-
pertinent in this valley the com.

information from the Agricultural

of planting, proper care etc, then
the experiment can be made sCien-
tifcally and the report of the same
will be reliable.

with Prest. Cleveland on account

The Southeastern StOchmdn,
FarmCr and Feeder has the follow
ing: Farmers Of Graham valley
are urged by the GUARDIAN Of SAT-
ford to get together for the pur-
pose of forming an agricultural as
sociation, and as before said in
these columns, it would be one of
the best things the agricultural
classes could do to assist them
selves in making the farm more
interesting and profitable. Now
we would suggest they do not wait
to have the united support of the
whole valley before making the
move, because if they wait on this,
an association will never be form
ed. A dozen men can start the
ball rolling, and the others will
come in in due time. In California,
one of the grandest states in the
union, they have an association in
good working order after an effort
Of five years duration. 1t takes
time to make a grand success OF
these things, from point of num-
bers, but the beginning must be
made some time, and right now is
the opportune time for our Gra-
ham friends"

The largest crowd of the season appeared
at Ferguson's theatre last night to witness
the production of Comrades by the Ideal
Company. The entrance was perfect jam
of people seeking admittance and many
avalled themselves of the opportunity of
avoiding the rush by going through the post
office to the theatre, through the kindness of
Postmaster Mellet. Many, however, were
turned away. The performance was well
received. Chester DeVOnde again proved
himself an actor of much merit, while Mr..
Barnes took good care of the tramp soldier.
Tommy Shearer, who appears to have won
the hearts of the local theatre-goers as q fun
maker, was at his best, and Baby johnson
brought forth repeated enchores by her
dancing and singing. In fact, the entire
company sustained their former reputation
as strong combination. Tonight, their
last appearance, they will present Shadows
of the Scafold," sensational comedy drama.
