 Office of the Governor.
 The people of the Territory of Ari- zona, in gracious and unfeigned ac- Acknowledgement of the rich blessings bestowed during the year by the Stu preme Ruler, and ever mindful of their dependence on the bounty of the Giver of all good, should seek fitting occasion to express their feeling of gratitude and adoration.
 The general health of our citizen ship has been good; the treasures of our mines, forests, fields and gardens have been poured forth ill increasing quantities; and the paths of honest toll and energy have led to comfort, contentment and happiness. Prosper ity has come to all branches of indus try, not only in this Territory, but i'll the nation, for which the expressions of thanks of a grateful people should be devoutly given.
 In harmony with the beautiful cus- tom of our people of giving day in each year to devotion and Thanksgiv- ing for the gifts of Providence, I, Alexander o. Brodie, Governor of the Territory of Arizona, do hereby recom- mend, in conformity with the procla- nation of the President of the United States, that
 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1903, be observed as a day of especial dcvo- tion to thanksgiving and prayer, re- mem boring the needy in acts of Chris tian charity and brotherly love, that we may be worthty of the Divine bless ings of Almighty God.

ject, the soil of the arid region contains on the average three times as much potash, six times as much magnesia and fourteen times as much lime as does the humid country lying east of the Mississippi. In the east the soil is being continually taken away and disintegrated; in the west the soil is racreative. Year af- ter year the process of earth ere ation is repeated.
 When the Mormons first ap- piled water to the sand and sage brush they but initiated a previ ous race who, Tn Arizona and New Mexico, had lived in peace and plenty thousands of years before. In the Salt river valley in Arizona there has been found highly complicated system of irrigating canals, spread over a large area and supplying tract of farm land which was able to support a population vastly larg- CT than that which this territory maintains at present. Today the government engineers are ex- posing the works of a people who must have inhabited our continent many years before it's discovery by Columbus.
 This is not the only instance where history has repeated itself.
 A German company is prepar- ing to enter upon the work of restoring cultivation to the plains of Mesopotamia, near the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. This is the region where stood the great cities of Babylon and Nineveh, surrounded by a marvelously fruitful cultivation produced by the utilization of the waters of their two great rivers.
 Irrigation was understood Le- fore the Christian era, and was practiced in Egypt, Asia Minor, Persia and Assyria. England has always recognized it's value, and has expended three hundred million dollars in India upon ir rigation works, which have done much to render more certain the crops of that region. England is today expending millions of dollars on the Nile in extending the area of irrigation.
 Thus the government in talk ing control of the vast arid re- zion of the west, and so con- structing an intelligent system of reservoirs and canals as to an unfruitful land pro- ductive, merely follows in the footsteps of ancient dynasties and adopts the ideas of intelli- gent men who have gone before.

they passed the tavern where Jones

the evolution of civilization, we find
human wants multiplying. making
larger incomes necessary for the sat
isfaction of those wants.
In the days of our grandfathers
the man who could draw his check for
hundred thousand dollars would
have been reckoned one of the pluto
Gratis of the times. 1t is not so now.
