Cactus Monuments
Rapidly Going.

PHOENIX, AriZ.. Nov. 2l- The
placing of water on the arid wastes of
Arizona lands and the consequent
ceolulion from desert to garden Is
driving to extinction one OF tn"
slrangost plants in all the world.
At the last session OF the Territorial
Legislature. the ccrons glganteus, the
giant cactus better known as the sa 2
gnara, peculiar to the soil Of this Ter
ritory. was made the official flower OF
Arizona, Not many years will elapse
until new choice will be made neces-
sary,
When the first Franciscan fathers
iOurnPyed north from Mexico they
took back report of the great carti.
sixty feet long, which covered the
plains OF the new country, and told
marvellous tales of the foot value of
the new plant. of the Indian tribes who
subsisted on the fruit of the saguara
and of the wonderful benefits in the
liquor from its sap. As far as the eye
could reach stretched yertable forests
OF these great sentinels Of the desert.
Now. as the science of the American
has reclaimed foot by foot the miles
of the former desert and the magic
water has made orange, peach and
apricot orchards and great fields Of al
falfa. the saguara has fallen, and only
in spots where water cannot be placed
can the odd plant be found.
