bound to attract the attention of intending

The fortunes of Arizona are closely linked
with those OF California and hence 1t is in
structive to find the following in the Yuma
Advertiser:
1t is an erroneous idea that the land lying south
OF Yuma known as the Olgodones grant Is all the
available land in this section Of the country.
By travelling about ten miles north Of Yuma on
the Colorado River one can lind in Northwestern
San Diego County the finest kind of location for
small colony of industrious people who would
make agriculture their business
Still further up the river, say about five miles,
near steamboat landing called Nortons Landing,
there is tract of fine level land of 5000 acres.
This is Government land and can only be taken
up in small tracts, hence the feasibility Of colo
nization scheme. 1t is desert land, sparsely COW
ereo with arrow weeds and mesquite, but being
nearly level can easily be prepared for cultivation
The whole tract Is crossed by the Ehrenburg stage
line, and settlers would not feel isolated, being
tnus able TO get mail semi-weekly. Miners would
rejoice to see ranches in this section, as 1t would
obviate the necessity for coming to Yuma 10 get
supplies. This land is bordered on the north and
west by the Colorado River. The soil is rich, and
1t Is left for mans ingenuity alone to spread water
over these plains and make them with compare
lively little labor produce the wonderful crops OF
which our neighbor State, California, lying Just
across the river, is so proud.
The Del Norte Crescent City Recopd is urg-
ing us people TO mold an agricultural Ialr, IN
spite OF the TACT that the appropriation by the
last Legislature for such exhibitions was
stricken out by the Governor. AS its argu-
ment is instructive and is applicable to most
cther parts OF the State, it should be restated
here. Our contemporary notes the favorable
action by its Board of Supervisors on the ap-
phcaton OF leading citizens for an appropria-
ton OF 5000 toward the fair, and then. speak
Ing OF the Governors adverse action on the
legislative appropriation, says:
Who would have had to provide this additional
