 The cities of Arizona will show bet ter public buildings. business build ings and private residences and more and better newspapers than eastern cities of five times their population and their government will show far less graft and corruption.
 great impulse has recently been given to railroad building by the general forward movement which pre- walls. Phoenix, the capital and bus mess. political and social center of the state. already has five railroads and is soon to have two or three ad- ditional transcontinental lines. act ual surveys having already been made and routes selected.
 The first train on the new short lines from Phoenix to Los Angeles. the Arizona & California railroad. made the trip on July 1.
 Let me justify some of the state ments I have made You will be ready 10 ask me why the American citizenship of Arizona ranks so high in intelligence. patriotism and order Illness. The answer is obvious and plain. It is not the least intelligent or least enterprising part of the pop ulation of the eastern states which makes up the population of Arizona It is always the very best part of the population which has the cour- age. intelligence and enterprise which prompts them to go west and pioneer the way.
 The Hassayampa legend which makes all Arizonans liars. is founded upon the fact that a simple recital cf the facts about Arizona seems like | say that the soil here is hundred feet deep, that threefouths of the tree is under the ground, that the ai- sslfs roots are twenty feet long or tsat cottonwood branches six inches ;n diameter, cut into fence post lengths. and set out as fence posts, with wire strung on them, grow into majestic trees and. that this Is the way the ranchers whose lands are surrounded by these monarch trees plant them: or when I tell you that the oranges which on account of their superior quality and their early ripen- ing bring nearly twice as much in the market as any others. and that there are thousands of acres Of the best orange lands to be had here at the price of ordinary farm lands, you will begin to understand one of two things; either there is some tall iy- ing being done. or else this is land sui generis, which differs from all the other countries you have known, as if it were in another world. And the latter supposition is the. true one. It is absolutely impossible to un- derstand the actual facts as they ex- ist here. until you see them for your self. and. until then you will be apt to think you are dreaming.
 A little exaggeration would be ex- cusable on this day we celebrate, but, believe me. the half has not been told with reference to Arizona But, with the ample water now secured for the irrigation of it's greatest val ley. and in course of being secured for the rest of it's rich soil, with its most intelligent orderly and patriotic population, with full means of com munication with every other part of the country and the world, with It's untold mineral wealth, with the finest climate in the world, and with state hood. Arizona now offers the most in- viting field for investment and for a permanent home to be found any where. and its hospitable people will
