RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.

In regard to climate, healthfulness, fer tility and productiveness of soil, facilities for cultivation, irrigation and abundance of water supply, variety Of resources and cheap transportation by rail and by water, no part of Arizon can surpass Yuma county, which is destined to become one of richest and most prosperous counties in Arizona.
 It lies between 32o OO> and 340 2O' north attitude and lI30 2O' and II40 4O' west longitude. It contains 6, ASS, ,320 acres. It is about as large as the States of Rhode Island, Connecticut and Delaware com bixed, or as large as either New Hampshire, Vermont or Massachusetts.
 The western boundary of Yuma County is formed by the Colorado river, which separates Arizona from California. The county is bounded on the north by Williams Fork and the Santa Maria nver, whose waters flow into the Colorado; On the east by the counties of Pima, Maricopa and Yavspai, and on the south by Sonora, Mexico. Its county seat is the town of Yuma.
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter ritory of Arizona, and every drop ot water which falls on ies mountains and plains finds its way to this mighty river. It is formed by the union of the Green and Grand rivers, fed by the streams which rise in the Rocky Mountains, and the met fng snows cause a greater depth of water in this riv.r in summer than in winter. thus furnishing the most water at the season when it is most required for the purposes
 irrigation and agriculture.
 will eseen that for the entire distance ,eng its western boundary, Yuma County posse .ses the great advantage of cheap water transportation.
 The Gila river rises Ill the western part of New Mexico and is fed by numerous streams. among the most prominent of which are the San Pedro, Aqua Fria, Has savampa and Salt rivers. It flows west through Yuma County and emrties into the Colorado at the town of Yuma.
 Yuma county, traversed by these great rivers from it's northern to its southern, and from its eastern to its western bound aries. possesses a far greater water supply than any other county in the Territory. and far more than can be found in all Cali fernia.
 This water is now being diverted from its natural channels by means of numerous large irrigating canals, and utilized for the purpose of. retaining and irrigating the immense tracts of lands which lie in this favored country, and which are as fertile as ans in the world.
 The Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the Colorado river at the town of Yuma and runs through the county, following the geueroI course, and at an average distance of fabout four miles south, of the GiIa river rendering all the lands susceptible of irri- qation and cultivation, can find an easy outlet in this way and can be transported osu the markets and centers of population in the East or West.
 Another competing railroad is projected from San Diego, California, to tic town of Yuma, and thence along the north side of the Gia river. Thus Yuma County will nave exceptional railroad advantages.
 THE CLIMATE OF YUMA.

April. The same reports show the highest and lowest temperatures, averaged for eight years, at the same place, as follows: For November 791a degrees and 42 degrees, December 7311a degrees and 361a degrees, January G51a degrees and g degrees, Feb ruary 7lH degrees and 351a de rees, March 8l 11l degrees and Al degrees and April S61a degrees and 46 degrees, The nights throughout the winter are apt to be cool enough for open wood fires, and for blankets. Half the time an overcoat is not needed during the day, but it is never prudent for stranger to be without one at hand
 The atmosphere IS singularly clear, tonic and dry. 1 have never seen it clearer anywhere in the world. 1t seems to have about the same bracing and exhilarating qualities as the air of the Great Sahara in Northern Africa, or of the deserts about Mount Sinai, in Arabia Petraea. It is much drier than in the parts of Morocco, Algiers or Tunis usually visited, and drier than any part of the Valley of the Nile north of the First Cataract. It seems to me about the same in quality as the air on the Nile between Assouan and Wady- Halfa, but somewhat cooler.

Whether the government can remove
the practice of the social evil to some
other place is a question. 1t may re-
quire some legislation in order to do il.
Any wise and wholesome action in this
respect will be regarded by many as a
further recognition of the evil, and any
practicable plan will be denounced. 1t
is, so far as the world now goes. much
easier TO preach against an evil-and
this costs nothing but talk-than it is
TO reach and remove the causes of il.
an effort which demands uncomfortable
and persistent work. 1t can hardly be
expected that the community will
promptly interfere. If Mr. Richards
can arouse public opinion in the mat
ter, he will do us a great practical
service.

THE SULU TREATY.

The anti-expansion journals say
that the treaty made by the President
with the Sultan of the Sulu islands is
a wicked piece of business because it
recognizes and protects slavery in
those islands. Many members from
the Northern States of the convention
that framed and adopted the American
Constitution, were opposed to the insti-
tuition of slavery. But in order to ac-
complish a greater good, they aban-
doned their convictions, and voted to
protect it by the Constitution, and it
was so protected for about seventy
years. 1t established political unity,
which was of more Importance at the
time, than the abolition of slavery, and
left it to Time to accomplish reforms
which were impracticable at the time
taae Constitution was adopted. The
anti-expansionists are entitled to the
same consideration and fairness that
we claim, who believe in the policy of
the President. But this argument
against the treaty with the Sultan of
Sulu, has no force if the makers of the
Federal Constitution were wise men.

THE OPIUM TRADE.

| Mr.. Lyle A Dickey does not meet
the point raised by the Advertiser re-
garding the use of opium in the United
States
| The importation of it is permitted
| by the Federal laws of the United
States. 1t is subject TO a duty, just
as there are duties ON the value OF
vegetables imported from Canada. It
may be introduced, in spite of any
State legislation, into any State or Ter
| ritory, as freely as bread or meat. The
Federal government which is supreme
| in the regulation of commerce, refuses
to allow any State to regulate the traf-
| ffc in it, or in intoxicating liquors, so
| far as to prevent commerce in il be-
tween the States. 1t does not discrimin
ate against it,more than it does against
bread. After the article gets within
the Jurisdiction of the State, the use
hibited. That is a different affair.
Opium may be imported by any one in
an original package, because he is pro-
tected by the Constitution in doing so.
1t is the making of opium and alco-
holic liquors legitimate articles of i'm
portation, and sale under the Federal
laws, that has defeated so many of the
efforts of different States to prohibit
their use The Federal laws allow the
sale of opium in any quantity by for
eign countries to American citizens
wherever they are residing and re-
cogniZes it by pacing a duty of only
one dollar per pound upon the crude
article. 1t treats it as it treats iron
and vegetables and dry goods. lie is
the policy and practice of the United
States, in this respect, which defeats
the efforts of the States to regulate
or prohibit commerce in injurious ar
ticles. This policy will soon permit
the wholesale importation of opium
into this port, leaving it to the local
authorities to regulate the sale Of it.
The Advertiser believed, with some in
telligent members of the last legisla-
ture, that as the Federal laws per-
mitted it's importation, and annexation
would take place, system for regulat- |
ing the sale should be at once care |
fully made. Under the coming laws |
will the next Territorial legislation |
provide for it?
So far as the general question is |
in spite of the absolute pro-
of the importation and use of
opium, it can be obtained here at any |
if wanted and the price asked |
for it is paid. The smugglers have
beaten the moralists at every turn, and
the police have f1ourished over the
proceeds. The only regulation" in the
traffic has been that Of the price, and
that has been generally moderate under
the circumstances. The moralists of
Norway with common sense, make the
evil of intemperance pay for splendid
hospitals and aims houses.
Our local moralists practically prefer
to build up the fortunes of smugglers,
and dealers in opium, and ignore the
hospitals, and aims houses which are
so much needed.

The Coptic brought the sad and

Mrs. Eloise Tenney Smith, wife of
Frank Tallant Smith Of Hilo and
daughter OF The Judge E. q. Hitch
cock.
The deceased was only rs years OF
age at the time OF her demise and
had been a sufferer for several years,
and recently, at the advice OF her
physician, went to Colorado in the
hope that she would regain her
health. Her brother, Attorney H..
r.. Hitchcock, contemplated to leave
for the mainland TO meet his sister
and escort her to Honolulu, but
news were received which indicated
that it would be a useless journey, as
no hopes we're entertained for the
recovery OF the young lady
The deceased was charming and
loveable woman who counted her
friends in every district in this her
native country, which she loved so
we'll.
The deepest sympathy of the peo-
pile who know her and those who
mourn her untimely death goes
goes forth to husband, mother, and
the brothers who hoped against
hope TO meet her once more.
