 is bcunG to grow and prosper with a rapidity that at present can hardly be re- aIized. But coupled with her gcographi- cal position we ind that she is the center ofa country whose agricultural possio'il- lies are practically unlimited, being sor rounded by a soil the fertility of nhioi 4xceeds that of the delta Of the Nile; an6 wanting c-ly water to become a paradise O bloom.

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de- velopment. There can't be doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last. There is every promise of day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people. while the cumulative effect of i4saay things, which made but small i'm bression as they transpired singly, is now commanding fer her a full share of atten- Gor and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 i lively competition has sprung mp for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership. There 1 is scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates a great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest are ! falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lend IS than this. 
 Arizona has reached that climacticel period which every western state has ex perienced sometime in it's history when, after long and weary struggle and doubt with each side of the balance first up anC then down. the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurst of energiziug hope has thrilled the droop ing spirits of the people to greater anl braver endeavor than before,
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com pletiou of two transcontinental lines o
 railroad across her territOry-Arizona ha
 rather dropped out of public attention but in that time she has been quietly ac , cumulating fund of substantial wealtl , and force of moral character whicl qualify her now to rise up and take he
 destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona is Mexican This is a mistake of great importance fror the moral point of view. There is but on . considerable center of Mexican population
 in the territory, tine city of Tucson, an'
 even there it is not by any means at pres , eat the pred0minating element. It thin B 1t is certain that Arizona has not to-da
 nearly so large a Mexican population a Colorado and not above one-tenth as muc as New Mexico -"Fitz- Mac" in Denve 4 News.

VALLEYS OF THE COLORADO AN

Iu the valleys of the Col-rado and the CiIa rivers there IS room for thousands. It is not too much to say that nowhere within the limits of this broad Union can be found a more desirable region for the making of a home. No laborious clearing Of the land is recaired; it lies almost ready for the blow. Trees and shrubbery have so rapid growth that within eighteen months the inmig~ ant can surround his abode with attract;c2s which woul1 require years to mature in less favored climates Fruits TiFen and aye ready for market fuli month before the California products. The bright sunshine makes life luxury, and the pure dry atmos- yl.ere brings health GO all vbo iphale it.

 The atmosphere IS singularly clear, tonic and dry. 1 have never seen it clearer anyw here in the world. It 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 dricr than ID the parts ot Morocco, AIgiers or Tunis usually visited, and drier than any part of the Valley of the Nile north of the First Cataract. It seems to mo about the same in quality as the air on the Nile between Assouan and Wady Ialfa, but somewhat cooler.
