LET TAE CANYON ALONE.

After viewing the Grand Canyon OF
the Colorado in Arizona, President
Roosevelt. in a brief speech to the peo-
Pile who had assembled, said a few APP
propriate words in regard to the can
yon and its preservation. He said:
II want to ask you to do n thing
in connection with 1t. In your own
interest and the interest of all the
country, keep this great wonder of ma
ture as it now is. I hope you wont
have a building of any kind to mar the
wonderful grandeur and sublimity of
the canyon. You cannot improve up
on it. The ages have been at work or
it and man can only mar it. Keep it
for your children and your children's
children and all who come after you
as n of the sights for Americans to
see"
These are certainly sentiments
which should appeal not only to low
ers of nature, but to all Americans
who feel a national pride in the great
natural wonders of this country.
Niagara Falls has been spoiled
enough by utilitarian methods and
serves as an instance of what always
happens when man tries TO improve
upon some splendid piece of natures
work.

IGNORANT OF THE WEST.

That is a rather astonishing state
ment made by President Roosevelt in
a speech a few days ago, that a greater
number of people come from Europe
to see the wonderful natural beauties
of that veritable wonderland, Yellow
stone Park. than come from our own
eastern states to see them. 1t seems
to s~ubstantiate the familiar assertion
that the natural and artificial wonders
of the old world have more attractions
for a great many of our people who
can afford to travel than the finer
cenery that Is to be found in their own
country. 1t is a common experience
to find Americans travelling abroad and
indulging in rhapsodies over scenery
that cannot compare in beauty with
what can be found here at home. The
trouble is that these travellers abroad
have never seen 1t.

MORE GOOD ADVICE.

The Denver Republican says of
President Roosevelt's speeches in this
territory:
"In his speech in Santa Fe and Albu-
querque President Roosevelt did not
give much encouragement to the hope
of statehood for New Mexico in the
near future, and yet he gave the peo-
pie of that territory good advice in re-
lation to the statehood question.
"He told them that the reclamation
Of arid land by irrigation would fit
them for statehood; and while this
path may be long. it undoubtedly leads
directly to the passage Of an enabling
act by congress. There would be no
question about the admission Of New
Mexico IL 1t had a large population Of
prosperous farmers living on land re-
claimed through irrigation. Practical
ly all the settlers on land of that kind
which is now barren would go from
states in the Missouri or Mississippi
valleys, and differ in no important par
ticular from the citizens Of Kansas,
Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri.

independence of a state government,

The more and they reclaim the more
room will they make for a new and ar
intelligent population.
an this laudable purpose they will
be helped by the national government
acting under the irrigation act passed
by congress last June. When suit
able localities are selected for the
construction of government irrigation
works the way will be opened for the
reclamation of much land in addition
to what through private enterprise ha:
been brought under cultivation. The
. aim of the people of New Mexic'
should, therefore, be to encourage THU
work by the department of the interio
rs. the best of their ability.
"In all things tney should be patient

Sam, who posed as Cerebus, guarding
the statehood corral.
President Roosevelt smiled grimly
when he saw this touching spectacle
and remarked that when New Mexico
had a little more irrigation the petite
maid on the outside might slip by and
ioin her sisters. This was a hint from
the other side that should not be lost
on either of the territories to the east
of Southern California.
I'm other words, the president sug-
gested that in stable agriculture lies
the road to statehood, and by develop.
ing water and %cultivating the soil.
rather than digging prospecting holes,
the political ambition of the territory
may be the more quickly attained.
This is in line with the oft-uttered adj
age that the permanence of a country's
wealth is gagged by its agricultural
products. Let New Mexico and Arizo-
ma ponder this hint"

TREE OF THE DESERTS.

That phenomenal tree of the Aus

has been planted for many years in
the dry soil of our own southwest,
where it is commonly known as the
blue gum or red gum, Is the subject OF
a bulletin soon to be issued by the
bureau of forestry under the title,

Although of foreign origin, the euca-
lyptus seems especially fitted to the

scarce. But its chief value lies in the
possibilities 1t holds for the reforesta
tion of the bare. dry mountain sides o.
the desert country and for the protec
ton Of irrigating streams. 1t is espe
cially adapted for such purposes b,
reason of its rapidity Of growth in ART
soil.
