Governor Of Arizona Pays Them Nice
Compliment.

Representative d. II. Morris brought
lack with him from Arizona a copy of
Gov. A, o. Brodies report for the term
ending June 30. 1902. In View of the
fact that Col. Brodie WAS one Of the
Rough Riders who went out with Col
Roosevelt to Cnba Il may, Just at this
time, prove interesting reading to take
2 few extracts from 1t and show what
he had 20 say about the "MormOns'
who live IN Arizona.
on page SO Gov Brodle says In speak
ing Of the Church of Jesus Christ OF
Iatter-day Saints.
This great religious organization Is
commonly known as the Mormon
Church. and It's members universally
known as 'Mormons.' The progress Of
this organization In Arizona during the
past year affords an interesting descrip-
ton and one which gives much infor-
nation upon the work which IL being
carried on by this branch OF religious
organization. The statements from the
different subdivisions OF the Organiza-
ton WIN show the strength OF the
Church In Arizona and the increase in
membership during the past year"
Gov. Brodie then defines the organ
isati0n and reports the progress OF the
various stakes that were submitted,
requests from number Of branches
failed TO bring reports. He says,
"St. Joseph stake. located at Thatch-
or. numbers 20 ministers and $500 mem
bers. an increase during the year OF
goo adults ami 800 children; Snowflake

members"
In writing about irrigation and
rauohing on page 1903 Gov. Brodle says
"1he Mormon settlers OF the San Pc
dIo valley carry on extensive farming,
and with their energy and push have
succeeded In making some most sub
stantial farms. which yearly give them
profitable returns. A large number Of
Wells have been sunk upon these ranch
es az st. David and other places south

fer irrigation Is spread over large areas
Of fertile bottom lands Benson. Fair
