What a continuous appropriation
of so large an amount for the i'm
provement of navigation on upper
White r1ver means to the country af-
fected, to the state as a whole and
to the business world can hardly be
described in terms that will not seem
like the veriest exaggeration, so
much is there involved in the liberal
action taken by Congress in the
premises.
As an example OF what it all
means, take the following items.
The region of this state which is to
be afforded outlet by improved navi-
cation on upper White river, is ex-
clusively the territory of Arkansas

But, while, upon the surface, only
commonplace importance attaches
to such statements of resources, in
this case the inference, of mere effect
upon the public, would not hold
good. For behind il all are values

Having returned, for a brief period,
to the region of the zinc belt where
the opportunity of a water way is
employed in the shipment of ores to
market, the writer is remind ed of the
most significant event in the history
OF the state.
The event is the continuous appro-
priation by Congress, of 81 600, 900,
for the construction of locks and
dams on upper White River, the orig
inal assignment of which amount
was voluntarily increased by the
Senate from $160, 900 to $50, 900.
But this is not all that emphasizes
the event as the most significant in
the history of the state The action
of Congress, of course, carried with
it a timely recognition of transport
tation necessities. that had kept
back the development of a rich sec
ton of our common country. Be-
You'd this, however, there was more
to the entertainment of the measure
by Congress than appears upon the
surface. For it is the testimony of
their colleagues, who had been APP
pealed to for their sympathy and
cooperation, that the good bust
ness sense and charming PERSONAL
ty" of the Arkansas delegation in
Congress had been sufficient to the
occasion, notwithstanding the fact,
that in the furtherance of similar
measures members from other states
had found it necessary to "log roll"
their bills beyond all reason
Hence, taking the two distinctions
into consideration, those at home,
who had labored, in and out of seas
on, for Arkansas welfare, had good
reason for almost discrediting their
senses in this year of our Lord, 1899.
For on the one hand there was sup
piled the assurance, that a business
appreciation of the National Govern
ment had been put upon rich but
undeveloped mineral country, follow
ing which will come the business APP
probation of those who have money
to invest in such resources. And, on
the other hand, it was assuredly
something to be thankful for, that
Arkansas had in Congress the kind
of men who not only reflected the
highest credit upon themselves per-
sonally, but whose good business
sense had attracted a higher appre-
citation for the state, chiefly because
they had succeeded in putting their
cause before men in a thorough bus
iness-like manner.

we'll calculated to ensure the ends so
large an appropriation, for a single
inland stream, is intended to accom-
plish.
There are, in fact SO many APP
proaches to the subject, that, be-
tween the desire to express in fitting
terms the gratitude of the upper
White river people to Congress for
the business approval put upon their
rich country. and the desire
to show IN business way that so
large an appropriation had been
worth while) it is impossible, upon
the spur of the moment, to decide
which one should have precedence in
this letter.
One consideration, however, stands
out prominently, the meaning which
is to be placed upon the projected
outlet for upper White river, upon
general principles. For as it stands,
the appropriation implies not only
for a water way outlet to market,
simply as such, but also for an ave-
nue. of commerce that will be second
to the traffic of no inland stream on
the western continent.

The mouth of Rush creek, distant
by water "a 2 miles, and overland 7
miles from White river, being the
point to which government engineers
had carried their survey of Buffalo
river, it were perhaps pertinent to
the subject of improved navigation
on White river to add, that the Buff
falo basin will no doubt supply more
than half the output of zinc ore be-
fore estimated of river way outlet

the appropriation implies not only
/ for a water way outlet to market,
simply as such, but also for an ave-
nue. of commerce that will be second
to the traffic of no inland stream on
the western continent.
Another consideration is the
amount of ore, or, in case the ore is
reduced at home, the amount of met
al the Arkansas zinc country will
market.
Something of the influence upon
the future of the upper White river
country, which, under the last head
improved navigation will effect, can
be conceived from statements by
owners of the largest mining proper
ties in the zinc territory.
The question in each case turned
upon a discussion of railway routes
through their country, and upon a
disposition not uncommon in such
cases of railway projectors cutting
off their nose when unable to bull
doze counties, individuals, and COM
munities into their way of thinking.
And the answer invariably took it's
color from the unexpected relief Con-
gress had afforded to the zinc coun-
try, in the continuous appropriation
made for the Improvement of upper
White river by means of locks and
dams.
Or, to state the example in anoth-
er way, whenever a point blank
question was asked upon the subject
the reply was equally direct, and
was to the following effect with
improved navigation on upper White
river way was opened to them ov-
err which they expected to ship out
more ore to foreign and domestic
markets, and at less cost to buyers,
than would be possible in case their
way to market consisted only of rail
roads built through the country"
All of this means, that the key of
the situation lies in the improved
navigation of upper White river,
which Improvement of itself can be
expected to promote railroad con-
struction through the zinc field
And since it is true that the greater
part Of the zinc territory can be
cheaply connected by tramways to
river points, it becomes self evident,
that, from this source alone, the traf-
fc ofupper White river will come to
the notice of the world in tremen.

religion and politics as we'll. How many farmers are there in the land who go to town at stated intervals to get pointers from their favorite merchant along political lines, thinking of course that as said mer- chant takes the daily paper and keeps posted". he knows best what the farmer ought to do and think. It Is indeed surprising how many people there are who get their ideas, in this secondhand way instead of reading and keeping themselves posted and thinking for themselves. Too many do even worse than to consult with their merchant. They hang around the court house and listen to pot-leg politicians, from whom they get their inspiration. The great wonder IS that matters are not worse on that point than they are. With the great majority. of farmers doing the bidding of trickster politicians and men who earn thelr livelihood by their wits, they should not grumble if things do not go their way as much as they ought. It has always been the boast four people that we were a nation of free thinkers, and when ever this privilege is no longer exercised by the common people our liberties will be endaDgered.- Farmers Guide.

Yuma, May 9th, 1885.
COL. DORRINGTON IN FRISCO.

Colonel John W, Darlington, the editor and proprietor of the Yuma SENTINEL, is in the city. The colo mel is here for the benefit of the cooler weather, though, according to the colonel, Yuma has never had so cool a summer, and the colonel should know, for he has lived in Yuma for the past thirty years, and has watched it's development with pleased eyes. In fact, Colonel Dor rington has had more to dc with the advancement of Yuma than any other man in the Territory. Not so many years ago Yuma was picturesque and Woolly. Even the Indians were Indians, and not the sem1-civilized creatures they are to-day, with their boots and their pantaloons. The houses were of adobe, there were nc lights, and Yuma was indeed frontier post.
 And to- dayl Yuma has an ice plant, water works, street-car sys- tenn, electric lights and all the conyeniences of an American city Colonel Darlington has not labored in vain.
 "Indeed," said the colonel this morning, II have never known the time when Yuma has been so pros porous. Ofcourse that fire to San- guinetti was a dreadful affair, but what do you think? No sooner did the news reach San Francisco than your wholesalers wired to Sangui- netti to draw on them for all he wanted. That speaks well fer both, does it not?
 q think that the Government, in throwing open that immense tract to the west of the town for settle ment, will decide the fate of Yuma. You know, for years that land has been in dispute. It is as rica 8 piece ofground as can be found any where, and no sooner was the deci- son known than 15,000 acres were settled upon in less than seven months. The families are of the right sort. They do not fear work and they are practical horticultur ists. This land is being put into wheat, fruit and alfalfa. Alfalfa is a paying crop when man can sell i it for $11 8 ton right in Yuma. Our farmers came principally from Riverside and San Diego, You know, we can lay just claim to raising the earliest figs and grapes in the United States. Why, we sell grapes to Phoenix, which made ! the claim that they raised the earliest fruit.
