 Arizona has just come into possess ion of q seaport, observes tho Cincin- nati Timcs-Star. A steamship line has been chartered to ply on the Colorado river from the Gulf of California to Yuma. This little city. situated in the midst of an arid desert, and parched by the eternal sun of the southwest, thus comes into direct communication by sea with the outside world. At the present time only the smaller class of vessels can navigate the lower waters of the Colorado. It is hoped, however, that the work Of dredging the stream will be soon undertaken, and that in time the larger scagoing vessel will be enabled tu advance to the wharves of Yuma. The opening Of Arizona and southwestern California to direct com munication with the sea cannot fail to be of immense value to this region. The country is extremely fertile. Only little irrigation is required to make Arizona one of the most productive states in the Union. Irrigation schemes have formerly been hampered, however, by the lack of suitable facili- ties for the cheap transportation for the states products to the seahOard. With the opening of a waterway to the sea Arizona should show a marvellous development. What has been done in California can be done again in Arizona And when the change takes place the opening up a waterway to Yuma will have played an all important part in the development of Uncle Sam's great territory"
