Michael did not even
think of landing. He was unwilling to
leave the young Livonian girl alone on
board, as she had not yet reappeared on
deck.
There was a report along all the east
ern frontier Of Russia that the insur-
rection and invasion had reached con-
siderable proportions. Communication
between Siberia and the empire was al
ready extremely difficult. All this Mi
chael strogoff heard without leaving
the deck Of the Caucasus from the new
arrivals.
This information could not but cause
him great uneaxiness and increase his
wish Of being beyond the Ural noun
tains, so as to Judge for himself Of the
truth Of these rumors and enable him
to guard against any possible contin-
gency. He was thinking Of seeking
more direct intelligence from some ma
tive of Kasan when his attention was
diverted.
Among the passengers who were
leaving the Caucasus Michael recog-
nized the troop Of gypsies who the
day before had appeared in the Mini
Novgorod fair. There on the deck Of
the steamboat were the old Bohemian
and the woman who had played the
spy on him. With them and no doubt
under their direction landed about
twenty dancers and singers from fif-
teen to twenty years of age, wrapped
in old cloaks, which covered their span
gled dresses. These dresses, just then
glancing in the first rays Of the sun, re-
minded Michael Of the curious appear
ance which he had observed during the
night. It must have been the glitter
Of those spangles in the bright flames
issuing suddenly from the steamboats,
funnel which had attracted his atten-
ton.
Evidently" said Michael to himself,
''this troop Of Zingari, after remain
ing below all day, crouched under the
forecastle during the night. Were these
gypsies trying to show themselves as
little as possible? Such is not accord
ing to the usual custom Of their race"
Michael Strogoff no longer doubted
that the expressions he had heard

but there are physical fatigues which q
woman may be unable to endure"
II shall endure them, whatever they
may be- replied the girl. IF you ever
hear complaint from my lips, you
may leave me in the road and continue
your journey alone"
Half an hour later on, the podorojna
being presented by Michael, three post
horses were harnessed to the tarantass.
These animals, covered with long hair,
were very like long legged bears. They
were small, but spirited, being Of Sibe-
rian breed.
They were harnessed thus: One, the
largest, was secured between two long
shafts on whose farther end was
hoop called douga, carrying tassels
and bells. The two others were SIM
ply fastened by ropes to the steps of the
tarantass. This was the complete har-
ness, with mere strings for reins.
Neither Michael Strogoff nor the
young Livonian girl had any baggage.
The rapidity with which one wished to
make the journey and the more than
modest resources Of the other prevent
ed them from embarrassing themselves
with packages. 1t was a fortunate
thing under the circumstances, for the
tarantass could not have carried both
baggage and travellers. 1t was only
made for two persons, without count
ing the driver, who kept his eIuilibri-
UNI on his narrow seat in a marvellous
manner.
The driver is changed at every relay.
The man who drove the tarantass dur
ing the first stage was, like his horses,
Siberian and no less shaggy than
they-long hair, cut square on the fore
head, hat with turned up rim, red belt,
coat with crossed facings and buttons
stamped with the imperial cipher. The
driver on coming up with his team
threw an inquisitive glance at the pas
sengers Of the tarantass. No luggage?
And had there been, where in the
world could he have slowed 1t? Rath-
err shabby in appearance too. He look
ed contemptuous.
"Crows," said he, without caring
whether he was overheard or not;
"crows at 6 copecks verst!'
mo; eagles" said Michael, who I'M
derstood the slang perfectly; eagles,
do you hear, at 9 copecks verst and
tip besides"
He was answered by a merry crack
Of the whip.
In the language Of the Russian pos
tilions the 'crow'' is the stingy or poor
traveller who at the posthouses only
pays or copecks a verst for the
horses. The "eagle" is the traveller
who does not mind expense, to say
nothing of liberal tips. Therefore the
crow could not claim to fly as rapidly
as the imperial bird.
Nadia and Michael Immediately took
their places in the tarantass. A small
store of provisions was put in the box,
in case at any time they were delayed
in reaching the posthouses, which are
very comfortably provided under di-
rection of the state. The hood was
pulled up, as it was unexpectedly hot,
and at II o'clock the tarantass, drawn
by it's three horses, left Perm in a
cloud of dust.

HOUSE MEMORIAL NO. 4
To the Senate and House of Representa- tives of the United States in Con-
 eress Assembled.

We, your Memorialists, the Nine teenth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, respectfully rep resent that the National Irrigation Congress, held in Phoenix, Arizona, on the Huh of December, A. D. 1896, unan- imously adopted the following:
 Whereas, The Pima and Maricopa Indians, tribes numbering in the aggregate ten thousand souls, have been deprived of the waters used by them in irrigation before the advent of the white race in America, through the appropriation of such. waters by settlers on the headwaters of the Gila river; and
 Whereas, Through the loss of such waters the lands once cultivated by these tribes members of such tribes have become a charge on the Government. and forced by the loss of their fields into lives of degrada- tion and penury and
 Whereas, Such tribes have from the ear Hest days been the friends and allies of the white race; and
 Whereas, The people of the United States have pledged themselves by solemn treaty to protect such tribes in their property and property rights, and
 Whereas, The Government of the United States has and now is engaged in the ex- penditure of hundreds of thousands of dol lars for the construction of works of irriga- tion for the reclamation of lands belonging l to other Indian tribes; therefore, be it
 Resolved. That this Congress do approve | the proposed construction. under the plans l of the U. $. Geological Survey, of the Buttes reservoir. in Pinal county, Arizona, recently reported, to again reclaim the lands of these tribes, believing that by so doing can the Government alone honorably redeem the broken pledges made by it to these people, and thus preserve from further want and degradation two of the surviving Indian | tribes of the American continent that have l always been the constant friends of the white race.
 Resolved, That we approve the proposed construction of such reservoir not only as 1 just and philanthropic. but as economical 1 and good policy, as in a comparatively shor, time the expense of maintaining such h. dians as Government charges wfll far exceed the cost of the irrigation weeks required tu make them self-supporting and self-re- 1 specting community.
 Now, therefore, your Memorialists, the Nineteenth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, desire to go on record as earnestly endorsing l the above recommendations of the Sixth National Irrigation Congress for the following reasons:

It was the excitement of the life that made me so fond of it. had all sorts of experiences at all sorts of hours There was an element of danger in It too, but that only added to the charm.
 One night I had call from the West side in the neighborhood of Chelsea square. It was for a drunken man who fell down and broke his leg. On the way back to the hospital with him picked up drunken wom- an to whom a similar accident had happened. There was nothing to do but put her in the ambulance along with the man.
 After that the ride across town was exciting enough for a cowboy. At hrst the patients sympathized with each other. Then they began to cry in chorus. At Broadway they fell to kissing each other. At Third avenue they were fighting like a pair of Kilkenny cats, and had my hands full in keeping them apart. The woman had scratched the mans face dreadfnlly and he had nearly closed her eye with a punch. When we struck the asphalt in Twenty-sixth street they were singing: We have all been there before. many time. : and such singingl The uproar at traeted a crowd who evidently thought l had an ambulance full of lunatics.

the indefensible position of doing noth- ing itself or allowing any one else to improve this great natural reservoir site.
 2. We firmly believe that the inter- ests of humanity dictate that the In dians should be gathered on the reser- yations, have lands allotted to tn em in severalty, aud that they be furnished with farming implements and an inex- haustible supply of water for irrigation of their lands, to the end that they may become self supporting. By this means will a home life be furnished for the Indian and he will more rapidly advance in civilization as conse- quence. He will abandon his nomadic life; his children will be kept at home and educated in neighborhood schools, instead of being sent to large Indian schools at distance where they are kept Gas it would seem) for mere purposes of show. After being in- structed in the arts of civilization for U time they are returned to savagery to become more unhappy and discon- tented than if they had never received the questionable advantages. We feel 1 that the present policy of the 1ndiar department is all wrong in this regard
 3. The Pima and Maricopa Indiar reservation contains $50, 900 acres of a: fertile land as lies within the bound aries of Arizona, and is admirabl, adapted for homes for these people, a: well as the wandering Papagoes, wh, are now compelled to prey upon tn herds of our farmers and ranchmen fo subsistence.
 i. The construction of storag reservoir at the Buttes by the Govern
 ment offers a plain business proposi
 tion for the correction of these evil.
 Resolved. that the Secretary of tn Territory be instructed to transmit

Pinal county was organized in 1875 from portions of Pima, Maricopa and Yavapai counties and contains an area of 5, ,s6s square miles. or s,4s5.52p acres, one-third of which could be made productive by a systematic storage of the surplus water now running to waste. Next to Maricopa it is the most important agricultural county in the Terri tory. It is traversed from east to west by the Southern Pacific railroad. and a branch of the great Santa Fe system is now ap- proaching from the north. The objective point of this road is connection with the Sonora road, of the same system. The Southern Pacific Is also building ia this direction from Tempe, and it is confidently believed that work will not cease until the Deer Creek coal fields are reached and con- nection Is made with another branch of that road running from Bowie to Globe and now completed to Fort Thomas.

A RAILROAD CENTER.

At present it contains a population of
 bout l5O0 but with the completion of these
 railroads and the San Carlos reservoir no city in Arizona can approach it for natural advantages, and large increase in popula- tion will follow. Florence is at an elevation of l4s2 feet above sea level, situated near the Gila river. twenty-six miles northwest of the railroad station of Casa Grande, with which it is connected by an elegantly equipped daily stage line. Going and con- ing stages run by the old Casa Grande ruins and passengers are allowed short time to inspect them. There are many handsome private residence in Florence, several brick stores, good hotel. an excellent graded school employing four teachers, churches, ecret societies, Commercial Club, two newspapers, and the handsomest court house in the Territory. Here is held the United States Court for the district composed of Gila. Graham and Pinal counties. The streets are lined with shade trees, which impart an air of com fort on the warmest days.

Orange and lemon trees require slight protection during the winter for year or two, until the wood is sufficiently hardened,
 While it is popular thing for one to say that he is mot here for his health," it is an undisputed fact that for all pulmonary ail- ments no climate on earth is eqnal to South ern Arizona, and there are numbers of active, industrious citizens, with but one lung, who came here years ago, expecting to live but few weeks. But for all that, the wonderful Casa Grande valley is some thing better than health resort.
 That portion of the great Casa Grande valley lying along the line of the Southern Pacific railway in the vicinity of Casa Grande and Arizola is at present, and with good reason, considered one of the most desirable portions of this magnificent Southern Ari- zona, Great changes have been made in the appearance of this part of the valley during the last ten years. It was about that long ago that the Florence canal was completed and the work of actual improvement begun. It is useless to deny that under our present water system there is nothing like a sufH- eient water to irrigate this vast body of land.
