Taking Desperate Chances

1t is true that many contract colds
and recover from them without taking
any p~recauti0n or treatment, ana n
knowledge of this fact leads others to
take their chances instead ut giving
their colds the needed attention. IT
should be borne in mind that every cold
weakens the lungs. lowers tie vitality,
makes the s~ystasa1ess able to Withstand
each succeeding cold, and paves the
way for more serious diseases. Can you

A "Reminiscences

It is not generally knewn, but nevertheless true, tha. old Glory was flung to the breeze in Tucson nearly tifty-eight years ago. A detachm of the Mormon column passed through this city December r., lS46. At the approach of the little squad of Amer jeans the Mexican garrison in the fort had urgent business else where, and the detachment marched into the fort without opposition. The late Bishop P. O. Merrill of the Mormon church was one of the party, and made the following statement for the use of the Pioneer Society of Arizona. Major s. R. De Long, the president of the society, kindly furnished the following copy for publications:
 "We marched into Tucson from the fort which was occupied only by old men and a few women. On the south east bastion of the fort was a small common, and the soldier boys asked pefmlSS1On to raise Cn6 nag over It just to show that they had been there. The commander granted permission and detailed Christopher Layton of Co.,, c. to tie the flag to tent pole and hoist 1t. Of course we cheered when Old Glory foated out over the Spanish fort.
 "We were respectful to the women and destroyed no property. We found a storehouse in the center of the fort containing wheat, and we weighed out enough for our needs and for animal food, leaving an order on the United State government for the full weight.
 Leaving Tucson we passed on north ward and camped a few miles away. taking our flag and tent pole with us. The next they we were overtaken by two Mexican soldiers, who brought to us the wheat order cancelled. Our peaceable passage through the post had been a pleasant surprise to them" ."- Arizona Star.

TiIe Largest State.

Some idea of the state of Texas may he formed with the aid of few statistics. It's extreme length is 620 and it's breadth 7S5 miles, comprising an area of 265 ,7SO square miles It has 243 counties, l9,5OO,O 900 acres of improved farming land, and farm prop erty of the value of S962, 900, ,OOO. The number of it's farms is 352, 100. It's population as shown by the last census was 3,O4S.7 10, being in point of num- bers the six state in the Union.
 Those which exceed it are New York. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri and Illinois, whose aggregate pop ulation is 23,636,76 Yet their total area is only 262.OlO square miles. This is less by 2,77O square miles than Texas, which would rot be capitalized were Connecticut and Rhode Island thrown in. If the population of Texas were as great to the square mile as New York, it would be 49,- 59S ,22O, or nearly twice that of the five states mentioned.-Ex

Local Officer Devises New System.

George w Webb, inspector in charge of this imBi grafton district, has devised a means of preventing Chinamen to take advantage af the exclusion laws to secure a free trip to their native land. It is generally thought that now and then Chink. desiring to visit his relatives, conceals his certiti- cate, and going to some strange town, gets deported on purpose. Returning by way of Sonora, if he can get across the line without being detected, he can produce his certificate and it Is i'm possible to deport him.
 Realizing that 1t is possible to beat the government in this manner, Mir. Webb Is making a description of all Chinamen deported in this jurisdiction. Their portraits are attached and copies are sent to Fl Paso and San Francisco. They are placed i'll the hands of in spcctors so that when a Chinamen Is arrested they may know whether or not he has ever been deported.
 Mir. Webb says that he Is sure of one instance where this scheme was worked. The Chinamau was of the same name but the office had no des

The Reclamation of Arizona.

Hon. Alex. Q. Brodie, governor of Arizona, is in hearty sympathy with the aims and purposes of the reclam- ation service. As chief of q common wealth that embraces large tracts of arid land, he appreciates the benefits that will follow system of scientific irrigation. In response to an invit- ation from the director of tine United States geological survey, he has re- gently made som. pertinent sugges tions in regard to the work of measur- ing streams and investigating the water resources of the territory for irriga- tion purposes.
 Next to the Salt river dam, which is now in process of construction; Gov. Bro6ie thinks the Colorado river pro- ject IS the most important. There is no greater area of ir-i gable land in the southwest, he declares, than that along the Colorado river from above Needles to the Mexican border. The available land continues in vast stretches after the river has departed at Yuma for the sea. This river frequently over flows it's banks and damages crops in the cultivated section about Yuma. It would, therefore, seem advisa ble to provide means for storing it's flood waters. Gov. Brodie also advocates the construction of levee from the town of Yuma to the Mexican line to pre- vent the overflow of the river.
 He suggests that the water supply of the Santa Cruz valley be investi- gated; that proper attention be given to the artesian belt in San Pedro reservoir sites in different parts of the territory be exploited. He thinks 1t would be advisable to extend the sur veys already begun to the upper stretches of the Salt and Gila rivers, for the purpose of locating available reservoir sites on those streams and their tributaries The same might also be said of the Little Colorado river, which takes its rise in the vicin- ity of the White mountains, in the eastern part of Arizona It is prob able that on all these streams and their tributaries, reservoir sites may be found where flood waters could be stored for use on lands in the valleys below. Subsidiary dams might be constructed in the upper tributaries of streams and assistan nee thus rendered to those farmers who are struggling with uncertain supplies.
 Gov. Brodie also thinks it advisable that surveys for the location of under ground water supplies should be ex- tended These will be useful in furthering irrigation enterprises de- pendent on power pumping plants.
 In connection with Gov. Brodie's suggestions, it is interesting to note the announcement of N H. Darton, chief of the surveys western division hydrology, that provision will soon be made for a study of the waters in the Santa Cruz and San Pedro valleys Ex.
