Prospect For Statehood.

PHOENIX (Ariz. Feb. 15.-GOv. and Mrs. N. o. Murphy returned home from Washington this morning. He says that while good work for statehood is being done by a few, there is too much apathy at home, and failure to act in reinforcement of repre- sentatives in Washington. Al together he is less sanguine than some time ago as to the result of the statehood campaign. He has confidence in favorable ac- tion by the house, but the senate is still an unknown quantity.
 He is also doubtful as to irri- gation legislation affecting Ari- zona, and fears it will be con fined to a small appropriation for the proposed San Carlos dam.

Prof. HiIgard's Endorsement.

A special dispatch to the San Diego Union from Berkeley, Cal. is as follows:
 Prof. B. w. Hilgard, who is now completing report for the state on the soil at Imperial, does not agree with the government experts that there is no good grain land in that section. While alkali exists there in considera- ble quantities, he says that it can easily be banished. Much of the land, he says, is at present suit

able to the growing of grain and other crops.
 When seen today, Prof. Hil- gard consented to give the con cIusions which his report will contain. The report will be ready for the state printer next week. "Along New river" he said, "the soil is clay, with which I am not very favorably i'm pressed, but along the Salton there is a foam which is worth looking after. We have made several hundred analyses, and my conclusion is that this loam is very rich soil, a magnificent soil, except where the alkaliis too thick.
 "This alkali is present in con siderable quantities in spots, ranging from 5000 to 200, ,0OO pounds per acre, but every DOT ton could be made extremely productive by proper drainage, and I think it is well worth re- claiming, and where there is less than 35,000 pounds of alkali to the acre, crops can be grown now, and there is a large area where this is the case. The greater part of the alkali is Glauber salt, which is the least injurious. Some of the land could be reclaimed by flooding, thus forcing the alkali down where it is too thick, giving the crops a chance to start. When they once make a stand, they are all right. All the land lies fav- orable for drainage, and if ditch es were cut, there is no reason why the alkali could not be re- moved"
