THE PALACE HOTEL.

Arizona is recognized as the most truly Western of the Western states The cordiality and hospitality always associated with the West is more in ev- idence in Arizona today than in any other section of the country. Her hO- tels, too, are excellent and far superior to the accommodations one would nat urally expect to find in quarters so re- mote from the great cities of the East.
 It is especially true, too. that mining camps offer better accommodations than many a metropolitan city, and in this respect Prescott is no exception 10 the rule, as she is more than fOrtu- nate in tEe character of her hotels, prominent among which is the Palace, known throughout the entire South west as headquarters for mining men, and incidentally one of the most hand someIy furnished establishmen in the territory. Its history dates from that of the memorable and disastrous fire of July l4. 19O0-and its birth may be said to have taken place while yet the ruins of the city were smoking and smouldering. The three partners. Messrs. B. NJ. Relcher Robert Brow and Barney Smith, had previous 10 the con migration, been pToprietOrs of separate establishments oH Montezuma street. and decided to join forces and erect in Prescott magnificent building that would live as landmark and mon ument to the faith they had in the city and it's future. The result is seen in the imposing structure fronting the Plaza today. Two stories in height. 125 feet deep with a I5 foot frontage, a basement extending under the entire building. which is built of pressed brick and granite. with a steel structural I.. is proof The entire second floor is given over to rooms. both single and en suite. The Palace is too well known to the travelling public and mining men of the district to require description in detail, but for the benefit of readers who may not have been entertained there it may be said that the furnishings of the guest rooms is equal to that of the best hotels in the West. The furniture wainscotting. doors and all inside woodwork are of quarter sawed polish ed oak while rich velvet carpets are used upon the floors of chambers and halls alike.
 Every modern convenience and lux urv has been provided, including hot and cold running water. steam heat and electric lights and bells in each room.
 The ground floor is occupied by 9 well conducted dining room and cafe in which the best the market affords is served. and a magniticenly fitted saloon and club rooms. With entrance direct from the hotel office, 1t enjoys one of the best locations in Prescott
 All three of the partners have been residents of Prescott for nearly thirty years. and have seen and assisted ln it's growth from a struggling mining camp to the position Prescott no" holds. Like many of the successful business, men of the city they are heav- ilv interested in mining and back their judgment with their cash.

THE VOGE WHOLESALE LIQUOR
 COMPANY.

Tn all mining communities the best is demanded in the way of food, cloth ing and liquors and wines. The stock of wines and liquors carried by this house is high-grade and demonstrates the familiarity of the management with the requirements of the trade to which the house caters.

To supply the stock of. wines the vineyards of California and France yield up their best While the most celebrated distiileries of this continent are called upon for whskies that are absolutely pure and of the highest standard of excellence. In brandies and cordials the stock is especially full and complete, embracing everything in de mand in this section. where the best is none too -ood.
 One of the most important features of the Companys business is the de partment where beer is bottled. The plant is large and furnished with the latest makes of bottling machinery and gives employment to a considerable number of men, the annual payroll amounting to a very handsome sum.

IRRIGATION in California.


Southern California is said to lead
the United States in diversity of meth
DDS of application in scientific dis
tribution and conservation, and in the
extensive character and boldness of
design of it's irrigation works. Sur
face water. water from artesian wells,
water from tunnels penetrating the
mountains and water impounded in
large and costly reservoirs are alike
utilized.
The irrigation systems of this part
of the state are known all over the
world, and have created a prosperous
commonwealth in a region which
would be a scene of utter desOlation
without them. Concrete examples of
intensive farming with this climate
and soil are such charming settle
ments as Riverside and Redlands,
whose praises are sung everywhere.
north of this section and from an ir-
rigation standpoint considered almost
equally important, is the San Joaquin
valley The San Joaquin river sup
plies "a per cent of all the lands
irrigated in this state, but only 80
per cent of the total number of farms
and per cent of the irrigation canals.
These percentages indicate an entire
ly different type of farm from that
which prevails in the southern region.
In the latter the high-priced products
produced, the heavy cost for water,
and the necessity for careful and in
tensive farming have resulted in the
smallest farm units in the west. The
farm units in the San Joaquin valley
average more than 100 acres, while in
the southern region they are less than
%. In the valley of the San oJaquin

more nearly typical of those of other

all covered by forest reserve withdraw
ais and are largely public lands. The
normal flow of all the rivers of the
valley (the summer flow in this val
ley is greater than the winter flow
is now diverted for irrigation purposes.
Aside from the increase which may
come from more careful and syste-
matte irrigation and cultivation, agri-
culture cannot be extended materially
from the surface water supply. 1t
is the undivided opinion of the engi-
neers that the greatest increase of
irrigation in the future will result from
pumping rather than from impound-
ing and regulation of flood waters.

Benefits of National Irrigation.

Geo. F. Stone, secretary of the Chi
cago chamber of commerce, has been
looking into the subject of national
irrigation and has become an ardent
advocate of the same. He expresses
his ideas in the following language:
mo national project is fraught with
greater and more substantial good to
the whole country than that of the
irrigation of the arid lands OF the
United States. This work is being
done for the public welfare today and
for the benefit of the present genera
ton, but is destined in special sense
to promote the thrift and happiness OF
unborn generations. 1t not only means
making glad the waste places and
adding untold millions of dollars. to
