OUR GREATER NILE.

The waters of the Colorado river will be utilized on the Nile plan, if fond hopes of Arizonans be realized. AS a starter, it is announced that Delegate Marcus A. Smith will ask congress i'll the next session, to appropriate S1O0,O00 for levies and embank- ments in the neighbOrhood Of Yuma. This work would pro tect about 9O,O00 acres of land now subject to overflow, and al present worthless.
 But that is only the beginning. We learn from telegram in the Chicago Chronicle, sent from Phoenix, that a plan is maturing to make the Colorado valley as fruitful as the valley of the Nile. Here is an extract:
 With all the historic fame of the Nile river and the wealth created by that stream of vital izing fluids, tie United States has several streams even more resourceful, including the Colo rado river, whose waters are richer in vitalizing clements and whose volume is capable of re- claiming a much greater area of desert than the waters of the Mile. A great deal of land has already been reclaimed and canal enterprises under way will furn- isa the fluids for the reclamation of many thousand acres more. Much of the land is under per petua4 sunshine, in region of constant seedtime and harvest. The vast flow of water, properly diverted, can be made to irrigate farms for thousands of families. The first and most important step is the securing of protec ton from overflow on the lands already under cultivation. Los Angeles Herald.

Arizona is to have a Ranger service, according to the pro- visions of the law passed last winter. The statute creating the service left it in the hands of the governor to organize the service whenever in his opinion it became necessary, and he has acted by the appointment of Burt Mossman, formerly range manager for the Aztec Cattle Co. at HolbrOok, now engaged in the butcher business at Bis bee, as captain of the force. This appointment was made last Tuesday, and it is presumed that the other men of the corps will be selected by Capt. Mossman according to their ability for the service. It is believed that the cattlemen of Arizona will be the greatest benefciaries of the work of the Rangers, and it is also believed that the appoint ment of MT. Mossman will be ratified by the stockmen in gen eral. We hope that there will be but little for this band of mer to do, but we feel sure thar whatever they do find to do vii be done right. W.
