OF the Fo,t Lyon Canal Company
last June. the writer offered reso-
luton which ~as unanimously
adopted. directing the board OF
directors to take steps to locate
reservoir site on Adobe creek.
and to appropriate 81. 900 Tor the
preliminary work, and also direct
ing the board To see II arrange
ments could be made TO borrow
the moaey to do the work. SINCE
then Mr. Preston has worked at
il and succeeded in finding 10
cation where. at comparatively
small expense, reservoir can he
built that will hold 90, 900 acre
feet, or sufficient To cover each OF
the 40, 600 acres now faImed under
the canal. to = depth OF two and
one fourth feet. In addition to
this work Mr.. Preston also ran
lines to connect this and the
Horse creek reservoir by a flood
water canal with the river. he
had not completed this work when
he left the company's service. but
had progressed far enough to ap,
| pgoximate the cost OF the whole
thing at about 5000, 900. or tax
OF 81 so per acre on the 1000
acres now f-rmed The plan, il
carried out, will unquestionsbly
furnish every farmer under the
canal with all the water that can
be used, and | think | am conserv
ative IN saying that the increase in
yield in any one year will be equal
to the entirr cost OF this reservoir

to best secure the money tor the
work We can either 10 down IN
our pockets for the 81. so per acre.
or individually borrow that sum

or what | believe to he the h. tie,

done on reduced or excursion rates, according to an official staternert
 Tha: official statement affords an idea ci the wonderful growth of tray cl resu'tinP form the cheap rates re gently introduced by the transcon;i- mental railway systems. Rapid de velopment in public desire to trave! has been caused by the Inducements offered. It might properly be called popular education in the delightful ex- perience of seeing "how the world wags" away from home.
 An example of the great growth of travel caused by the low races oi fare is given in a statement Of business from Chicago to Colorado Spknts. com piled by the Chicago Reccrd-Herald. During the seasons of 1897. 1898 and 1899, when the round ttp rate vas $45, tickets were sold respectively to 5,S26, 11,610 and 17.sSs people.
 During eleven days of the next sea son a rate of $31.5o prevailed and the total number of visitors vas PITTS Next season the rate went down to $25 for twenty-nine dave end 47.493 people took advantage of the reduc- tion- Last year the S25 rsee was in effect forty-nve days and Ss.1e5 peo- pie visited the Colorado resorts. The later figure Is an increase of 3e per cent over. 1901, 13s per cent over 1900. of 26S per cent over 1899. Of tse per cent over 1898 and of 1e55 per cent over 1897.
 As remarked by the Record Herald the results in respect to travel from Chicago to Colorado points may be ta- ken as an example of what cheap rates have accomplished" And it Is said, further. that owing to the many conventions that will be held on the Pacific coast rate of $50 for the round trip, less than half fare, will o5. tain nearly all season, not to mention the $53 tourist rate These and simi- lar rates mark the greatest revolution ever recorded in the passenger ser vice of any country"
 Some idea of the throngs who have passed through Arizona enroute west may be gained from, the almost ina bility of the SouthernPscifc. during the winter months just past, so accom- mocate all who desired to travel over that hne. For three months there were three passenger trains daily over the Southern Pacific and the number cf passengers necessitated such an an- usual 7unlber of coaches that tra-1s were be.aled almost daily.

The increasing desire of eas-c-n people to visit the west and the advan- tagecus opportunities afford them to do so suggests that Arizona should now exert herself to have as many as possible step of and visit this terri tory. There never was so favorable time for advertising Arizona as the present, still but little is being-done. ex except that which continually appears in the local press. There should be special advertising matter prepared by each county and city in the territory giving a truthful description of the in dustriCs, resources and enterprises O. the several localities, and this infor- nation should be put in the localities from whence comes this eno-mous travel to the west; DO better invest ment could be made by our people for the very good reason that ID rart of the west !las better Inducements to cffer to the home seeker. the young man seeking employ ment ID either the counting room. store e. to labor in tho mines or reduction mills and sm slterS. Capital can here find inyestm .tts that
 will yield satisfactory returns.
 Those who, seek the Pacific coast because of its mild climate in winter. to escape the severe weather Of east ern states, can find 10 better. health fer or more desirable winter climate in the world than in Arizona There are few dave when the sun does not shine and there are many when an overcoat, or even afre is not required Tn recent years frst-class hotels have been built iD the cites of southern Arizona, where eye.ything desired in the way of accommodaton may be had.
 With all these advantages to offer our people should bestir themselves in making them known by systematic and rersis-enrt adve--isire. Now is the time to undertake this important work that we may head of our share 'of western visitors next winter.

7oMssTohs.s CELEBRATION.

On Sunday next Tombstone will be the center of attraction. Tken win the Tombstone citizens make a public exhibition of their gladness be cause of the completion of the rasl road to that historic camp. The Re view hepee sAe celebration will be a grand success and that there may be no lack of visitors.
 Many of the present citizens of Tombstone have remained tbe-e dur ing a business depression brought about by the closing down of all work in the mines, which would have caused a less courageous people 10 have abandoned the place to owls and bats. For years they stayed with the place, confident that the Tombstone mines were rich enough to attract sufficient capital to pump them out and extract the ore bodies which were known to exist: promise after promise resulted in disappointment; one by one business enterprise were aband- oned and prominent professional men went away in search Of practice; churches were pulled down and re moved to where sinners were more plentiful. Truly those who remained under such depressing surroundings are deserving of congratulations on the realization of the hope which has sustained them.
 Tombstone now bids fair to resume it's old time property; it will never be the wild and wooly camp which made !. famous in the days of its great min ing activity; the time for such streru- uous and unbridled hiIarity has passed away during the long industrial sleep of the place. Like Rip Van winkle Tombstone will awaken to new sur rcundings, but it will find some of its loyal friends still On hand to welcome its return to industrial activity. Du- ring the sleep Of Tombstone many new processes have been invented for the
 
 from mother earth and mechanical genius has provided new machinery for its reduction, which will more than offset the cost of the grestpump ing plant recently installed there.
 The coming of the railroad marks rev life for Tombstone; it may 5e ac- cep.ed az a guarantee Of future actiy- fly in the mining industry Of that min eral district, for railroads seldom go where they age not needed and there is 10 brsiaess for their support. Al ready capitalists are making many in ousries about Tombstone and there is earse to expect a boom in that town. Tributary 10 Tombstone are many dis tricts rich in mineral; the railroad will esrry to it much trade from the San Pedro Valley farmers and catlemen. Tn the parade next Sunday as many of the ojd-timers of Tombstone. as can he accommodated In the old stage coach "afodoc" should head the pro casssor with T-oaer-er ccrihr"- as driver and Allen English as guard, and we guarantee that from every throat will go up a yell as rfte head of the procession posses by.
