WATER STORAGE.

The extreme and unusual scarcity water in the valleys of Arizona dur ing the past year has caused great loss to many farmers in preventing the ma. turity of crops. This condition has brought up Q general discussion O. methods Of providing water by stor- age. The Arizona Bulletin. discussing the situation in the Gila valley in Ora ham county, says
 The scarcity Of water for irrigation should turn the attention of the Ian ] owners to the absolute necessity O. developing a new source of water for this valley. The amount of water com ing down tbe valley seems to be dimin- ishing every year. Without an increase of the water supply it will not be long until some of the fertile land of the valley must be abandoned. and allowed to return to its desert state Our peo. pie have sure remedy against short age of water for irrigation. There is enough water allowed to pass unused every year to supply abundantly every acre of land in the valley between the come together and join purse and San Carlos. Whenever our people

NATIONAL IRRIGATION.

Reviewing the national irrigation law, recently passed by congress, the Chicago Inter-Ocean says:
 Systematic improvement of these lands by irrigation will provide homes for 25,000,000 pople, at the lowest esti- mate, and probably for twice as many. Successful irrigation farming both re quires at attracts close cultivation and a dense population.
 This great improvement Of the na- tional domain congress has decreed shall now begin. That is the purpose oi the law just enacted. and the metz cd adopted is simple and practicable. Hereafter all money received from sales of public lands in this region will go into a special trust fund for tic building of irrigation works.
 The lands to be benefited by such TorKs a-' ---".-l 10 tteIr cost and sold in parcels not exceeding 160 acres at the prices so determined. The money received, which may be paid in ten annual installments, goes into the trust fund, which is thus con- stantly replenished. These irrigation works will be no burden on the puo- lie treasury. They will be paid for by those benefited, as much as pavements and sewers are paid for in Chicago.

THE BIG CELEBRATION.

The Fourth Of July celebration il this city. beginning on Thursday and continuing to Saturday promises to exceed the expectations of our most enthusiastic citizens. It will undoubt- edly bring together in Bisbee the lars- est crowd ever assembled in Arizona.
 Advices are coming m every day of the crowds that are expecting to be in Bisbee from almost every town in southern Arizona, and from many points in onora, Mexico, to say noth- ing of the hundreds who will come from Fl Paso, Texas.
 The various committees, having in charge different features of the oc- casion are making good reports and every detail of arrangement is ex- pected to be complete when the train bearing Governor Brodie arrives to- morrow. There has been no end of work in getting up this celebration. It has demanded the most liberal use of cash and energy, which our citizens have promptly supplied. New features have been added to the original pro- gram almost every week since the eel ebration was inaugurated. These new features have entailed further expense. but our people have been prompt to meet every call. It is pleasing to know that there has been no disappointment of serious nature to hinder or delay the necessary work of preparation, which is now practically completed. The drilling stone is here; the grounds at Don Luis, where the sporting events horse races, steer tying. broncho busting and baseball will occur. has been put in order; the fireworks are on hand with which our picturesque city will be made to blaze with enthusiastic patriotism; business houses and the streets have been decorated with flags and bunting. giving our city distinct ly Fourth of July appearance.
 The hard work has been done and the time for welcome and good cheer is near at hand. The people of Bisbee will avail themselves of this opportu- nity to express their hospitality to all who shall come to the grandest Fourth of July celebration ever witnessed in Arizona, or the southwest for that matter
 When all over and our visitors shall have returned home, they will carry with them a correct knowledge of the | energy and public spirit, the enter prise, the determination of those who l have made Eisbee the best mining camp in the west.
 Interest seems to be centered more | on the drilling contest than any other l event of the approaching celebration. ! This is of special interest because of the large number of practical miners | in Bisbee. The contestants are noted for the excellent work they have done in former contests. The event will be watched with the greatest interest, not only in Bisbee and in Arizona, Out throughout the mineral states and ter ritories of the west It is believed that this contest will draw more men in Bisbee than any other feature of the celebration.

receive the same treatment from the
postal authorities that those addressed
to other persons whose names and

Last year the letters reaching the

the superintendent expects that this
