tration OF territorial affairs raised more
Cain in given time than that of any
appointee that ever was sent to the
wild and woolly west.and whose resig-

Arizona" said Governor Frann.in,
''is scarcely appreciated in the East,
but 1t Is one Of the finest countries In
the world. The climate Of it's southern
part Is semi-trOpical and in winter 1t
Is as fine as Italy. Whitelaw Reid. who
spent a portion Of last winter with us,
said that nowhere on earth had he ex-
perienced climate more delightful and
salubrious than that Of Phoenix We
have beautiful and fertile valleys that
will grow sweeter fruits than those of
California. and which mature from
four to six weeks earlier. Our produc-
tioh of precious metals last year ag-
gregated $l3.000,O0O. and there In one
copper mine in the state that is valued
at $2O,0OO.000. This season we shipped

100000 acres Of grazing lands. .-
Two things are needed to start Ari-
zona on career of prosperity second
to no state In the Union. We should be
granted statehood, and the government
should build big reservoirs so as ia
convert our arid lands into fertile
farms. This is legitimate and just, for
1t Is no more than the expenditure OF
government funds on the Improvement
OF rivers and harbOrs. Statehood Is our
right. and all our people demand II
