There is at present about lis
miles Of irrigating canals and main
bitches, not including the Lateral
bitches which will make the total
several times this amount. This
gives ample water to assure crops
for about $4,000 acres. When the
Enterprise canal is finished it will
water several thousand acres of
rich table and bottom land. 1t
has been estimated that quarter
of million acres Of additional land
could be irrigated if storage dams
we're built. This could be done
in several places, notably at the
narrows about Is miles from SAT-.
ford where a box canyon exists
through which the river passes.

LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION.
Territory of Arizona, Executive

Territory of Arizona, Executive
Department.
The laws OF the United States
designate the first Monday in Sep
TENDER of each year as legal hol,-
day TO be known as Labor Day.
When we reflect that labor is
the foundation and creator Of all
wealth; that upon il depends all
happiness and all excellence; that
it is labor that builds up great
states and carries on the commerce
OF the world, the wisdom Of this
enactment is apparent, and es-
pecially is it so when applied to
the people of our territory who
are laboring TO develop its various
resources and establish for them
selves happy homes. Our busy
industrious communities contain
but few drones, hence nearly all
can be righifrlly classed as labor
ers--the mechanic, the merchant,
the miner, the lawyer, the farmer,
the divine, the baker, the physi-
clan, the teacher and the clerk, as
well as he who performs the more
severe task of daily manual labor,
are laborers in the best sense OF
the word, for while many earn
their daily bread by the sweat of
their face and others by the work
of their brain, they are all toilers.
a general observance Of the day
SO wisely set apart by congress
will tend to promote q higher APP
probation of the dignity of labor
and the great part it is taking in
the bailding up of our territory,
and the great public of which we
hope soon to become state. To
bring labor of all kinds into closer
relation with itself and with other
interests, TO inculcate friendly
feeling and hearty cooperation
between labor and capital, thus en-
couraging good will between all
classes of the community with a
view to pleasant and reciprocal re-
lations is the great object of this
observance of Labor Day.
Now, therefore, /, Myron Fl. Nc
Cord, governor of Arizona, do
proclaim and declare Monday, the
sixth day Of September, one thous-
and eight hundred and ninety
seven, legal holiday, aud do most
earnestly recommend that all bust
ness Of whatever nature, except
such as the necessities Of the COM
munity require to be carried on,
be suspended on that day, that all
who desire may have an opportuni-
ty to observe the day in q manner
betting the importance Of the oc-
casion.
Let us not forget that Labor
Day is as important and to future
generations will become as sug-
gestive and inspiring as the re-
lgious and patriotic holidays that
our people SO loyalty and religious
| ly observe.

The agricultural resources of the
ella valley are both varid and ex
tensive, comprising an area O
arabic land Of which there is al
present tributary to canals and
dltches, 10000 acres which il
capable of being irrigated. The
principal products are alfalfa,wheat
corn, barley, oats, vegetables, de
cidious andcertain classes OF citrus
fruits.
This il the natural home OF
alfalfa, of which from 4 to B crops
are grown yearly, yielding from 8
to s tons per acre. 1t 10 not as
stocky as that which comes from
the Salt River valley and is pre-
ferable for either horses or cattle.
Wheat, barley and oats grow
prolifcly, the former containing a
very large amount Of nutrition.
Yellow dent, white gortrd and
other large varieties of corn yield
productivity, vegetables are large
and solid and come to maturity
two months earlier than in the
eastern and middle states.
The valley and hill Kinds are
adapted to all OF the products OF
the temporal zone, and many of
the fruits of the semi-tropical
countries. The apples equal in
size and flavor the prize winners
of the eastern states. The seed
ling fruits are unexcelled in size
and general excellence. Apricots
and apples both grow with a sur
prising rapidity. The peaches in
appearance and taste are identical
with those which come from the
famous orchards of New Jersey.
Canagrie grows wild, some of
the tubers being as large as good
sized potatoes. Tests now show
that canagrie root, which flourish.

CHRONIC INVALIDISM.

There are people W no seem to enjoy
being in i'll health; they run from one
physician to another, and appear to take
actual satisfaction in being told that
they have this or that trouble with a
high-sounding name: but these people
make sickness fad, and don't want to
be well. The great struggling mass of hui
mainly have no time for the luxury of
disease; they must be in condition to
fight lifes battles, and illness means loss
of place to them and starvation to their
families: for this reason we see the pale
faces going to their toll DAY after day, and
we wonder how long before they will
succumb. 1t is pitiful to see such suf-
fering when help is at hand for the asking.
These people cannot understand that-the

A CARGO OF FLOUR.

Bangor, October 25.-In the Bangor
municipal court at $50 a. M. Monday,

John A. Hendricks of Rockland, charged
with the larceny of 80 barrels of flour,
the deekload of the wrecked schooner
Hunter, Capt. Gray's vessel, on Sunday,
October 18th. The cases were tried sepa-
rately, Capt. Gray's coming first.
The testimony disclosed series of
rather remarkable proceedings on the cap
tain's part. but he was ably defended by
John f. Robinson. The court reserved
Judgment till after the hearing of Capt.
Hendricks case d which is now in pro-
gress, court being adjourned at 1.2Osp. M
to 3.45 p. m, when other witnesses will
arrive. Hendricks is ,Gefended by Mat
thew Laughlin.
Altogether, it is one Of the strangest
cases ever heard of in this part of the
country. Both men5 deny any intention
OF stealing the cargo, but while Capt.
Hendricks says that he was asked by
Capt. Gray TO save ell he could of the
hunters cargo and take it in his vessel,
the Lewis B. French Of Rockland. Capt.
Gray declares that he remem bers no such
arrangement. In fact, on Monday, DC,
tober IS, the day after the alleged ar.
rangement.with Capt. Hendricks, Capt
Gray told. the shippers.in Bangor that he
supposed the flour had drifted off the
deck of the Hunter, although if the other
captain tells the truth, Gray must have
known that the -four was saved and put
on board the French on Sunday. The
court room was crowded all day. and
great interest is felt in the outcome.
