Walter Besant, Mrs. Oliphant, Mary
Cecil Hay, Florence Marryat An
thony Trollope, A. Canan Doyle, Miss

year will he sent you bv return mail.

The Irrigrtion Congress.
The International Irrigation Con
gress which convened iu Los An
g«de* on the 10th inst was largely
attended and it is Safe to any that
the result of its d liberations will
be fraught with vast good to the
ai id regions of tiie country.
A resolution was presented by
Kellogg of California announcing
it as the sense oc the Congress that
the government of the United States
make the necessary developments
to unite wati-r and land in arid re
gions:
F.rst, by m iking the necessary
surveys to formulate a uniform sys
tern by which to uwe economiTally
all the water available.
Second, to build all necessary
reservoirs and canal* to convey
water to the lan Is, an! to add the
cost of such developments to th**
price of the land, .said lands to b~
sold to actual settlers only, in lots
•.•f forty acres each.
Powers, of An* un, pri*xented a
resolution that it is the govern
ment’s duty to provide skillful hy
draulic engineers to assist iniocit
iug, planning aud constructing ca
nals, reservoirs and other irrigating
works, and to extend such other
aids as may be found necessary to
place irrigating enterprises on a
systematic, safe and endurable ba
si-.
Judge Anderson, of California,
introduced the following resolution:
Whereas, The people of the
territories of Arizona, New Mexico,
Utah aud Oklahoma are a.l vitally
interested iu the question of the
reclamation of the arid lands belong
ing to the. United States, and
v\'here4S, The question must
soon be discussed and acted on in
the congress of the United State*,
and
WhejßKas, It is but fair that
the people having such a vital in
terest in said question should par
ticipate in said discussion and
action thereon, and
Whereas, It is for the benefit
of all of us interested in said ques
tion that we should have the advice
participation of their representa
tives in congress,
Resolved, That in aid of the
great cause that we have assembled
here to-advocate and advance, we
urge that said territories be ad
mitted into the union at the earli
eat moment practicable.
The Yuma Sentinel says that the
cattle men, who last year pastured
thousands of cittle iu the great
valley of the Colorado, from the
Oodpah mountains to Salton lake,
and from the Alg »dones to Indian
Wel is, and who took them to the
mountains last June when the
heavy rains fell, are now preparing
to drive them back te the valley
for the winter. Feed is reported
to be excellent. Allison brothers
have kept their great herds in the
valley all summer, so has Rofti-rts
and Johnson. Lang s herd* are
further to the northward.
The Arizona Sentinel has reliable
information to the effect that the
Fuma Heights Company will net
only c**rry out their previously laid
plans in regard to setting out % »nes
and trees this fall, but wdl largely
increase the acreage. President
H. W. BiaisdeU writes from Bos
ton that money matters are vapidly
improving and that the future
looks very bright. The company
will set. out a large lemon groye,
which they have not l>efore con
. jtfetuplated doing. Tbi* fueaop
much for Yuma,
• 'The following from the St. Louis
Republic shows that the matter of
. statehood is attracting attention
• throughout the country: “Cotigren
; should as rapidly as possible admit
1 the territories to statehood. T4k*
i highest public interest is, as a rah%
conserved by creating a state gov
ernment in the place of the form
of regulation which does duty as
, government in territories. There
may be objection in the east to the
creation of states, which shall *Xcrt
equal power in the senate.; but
there is hardly a ‘ertitory now ap
plying for admission which would
be, as a state, less entitled to full
senatorial representation than is
Rhode Island. Whatever the po
litical considerations involved in
any of these cases, it is a duty the
government owes to the people; of
the territories to give as soon as
possible the right to govern them
selves. There are principles in the
question whi-h should out veigh
policies iu its tinal settlement.' 1
In 1869, four years before Sena
tor Sherman introduced his famous
bill demoetizing silver, while he
was vet a poor man, he said in the
United States Senate: “The con
traction of the currency is a far
more di*tresaiug operation, than
Senators suppose. Our own and
other nations have gone through
that operation before. It is not
possible to take that voyage with
out aoro distress. To every person,
except a capitalist out of debt or a
salaried officer or annuitant., it is a
period of loss, danger, lassitude of
crude, fall of wages, suspension of
enterprise, bankruptcy and disaster
It means the ruin of all dealers
whose debts are twien their busi
ness capital, though one third less
their actual property. It means
the fall of all* agricultural produc
tion without any reduction of taxes.
What prudent man would dare to
build a house, a railroad, a factory
or a barn with this certain fact
before him t”
Gold mining iu Arizona is at
tracting more attention .than, usual
because of the depression in silver.
That territory will -cocue to the
frout in the next few years and will
receive a great deal of immigration.
It has enormous resources in both
gold and silver, and it probably is
the best gold region iu the United
States, although its resources in
this respect are very little devel
oped. Au effort will be made iu
the present congress to secure the
admission of Arizona into the
Union, and if it be successful it
will stimulate the growth and de
velopment of the country enor
mously.—Denver Republican.
