WATER &T0GAG :.

First among the projects upon which Southern Arizona must re!s' for her future development comes the storage of water. No loya. citizen should loose sight of this fact. With water storage there are DO abilities ahead that include the tjliaga Of many millions of acres of fertile desert land in Arizona and 1t means an advancement that would in ten years place our Territory on the roll of the great States Of the union. Surely this is worth striving for. Few appre- eIate, 10 even q slight degree, the importance of this water storage. Few are aware that nowhere else on earth have there been provided such Wonder0us natural facilities for the catchment of water; and lew appreciate the vast extent Of land t&at might be titled in Ari- zona were the summer flow of streams adequate to supply the immense streams of water that would be necessary for its irriga- tion. Yet this irregularity of nature may be corrected and the summer flow be made sufficient for uses Of every aero that will be planted Tn this country. Capital should by all means be interested in this grand proJco: md to ivS pro- motion every citizen should bend bis best efforts.

X To~N or city is just what it's citi2:ns make it. Given the right sort of people, desert waste will bc transformed into garden that will hloom ike the rose, and q struggling settlement into thriv- ing city. Given the wrong sort of viti9ans, all the advantages of clim- a;c, geogra 9h;cal position and wealth go for nau2ht. Manufac- turers do not make the city; it is the city that makes the manufac- ;nrer. The stock yards and grain elevators did not make Chicago; pork packing 3ia not make Cincin- nati; d railroad center did not make Indianapolis. These cities were all started by men of business sagacity and public spirit and they attracted the business that Is now carried on In them, one following another until the entire aggregation hocaro ! boao-eEOus whole, ali working together for a common in- terest and for the benefit of the city ar town in which they located. h each case the city Is the cause and the business the effect. Now. what is the right kind of q citizen? He Is the man who does not look across the continent for an investment. but spends his money at home and encourages home enterprises. He does not grumble about high faxes because he has stnse enough to know that they must be high in a growing city, and that if low taxes are 8 drsederatum, he must go to place that has stepped growing or enc that has never grown much The public spirited citizen knows that if his neighbogs, Smith, Jones or Brown, inaugurate any enter prise it will receive the support and commendation of the entire community, each individual oI which feeling confident that what benefits the inaugurators will also indirectly benefit them. The right kind of citizen is one that looks upon the new city or country in which he is striving for q compet- ence as the nucleus and natural point CT location to which the sur rounding country is, or will he come, tributary. All petty spite and jealousy engendered by in- dividuaIs should be frowned upon and discouraged by the general communitv, @hicl! iS especially applicable to Yuma.
