A Logical Argument.
The Trrigtr.ioii Age pries the
following o i the statehood question:
If the nev year shall bring state
hood to the territories it will be a
happy new year to them. And
-itatehool -houLl be given in p-e
--ebely the same spirit tli it an entee
meroh mt displays his latest
and eliticeat ware-, in his best sh ip
window. It is high time that Un
cle Sun went to his storehouse, un
loosed the tii-ritorial wrappings
from Arizona, New Mexico and
Utah, and put their m uvelous at
tractions on exhibition wlieie t.h •
in 1 1 ion* of people and the millions
of d »bars looking for homes und
investments could see them. A
mistaken uotim exisis in the east
ern brain on the subject of what
constitutes fitness for statehood.
The popular id a is that a certain
number of people is tho single re
q lireinent. On that theory Dola
ware, Rhode Island, Vermont and
some tier insLniticaat eastern
states should be reduce I to territo
ries, whib New Yerk, Pennsylva
nia and Illinois should be pactioued
0.l into several new stttcs. Did
anybody ever inquire how many
people were in Massachusetts when
stateh »od was conferred upon her?
The matter of populatieu is con
sidered only with r« 1 tion to west
ern territories. ?n any true esti
mate of fitness fetor sovereignty
actual population wond be the
last consideration, and capacity for
development the first. The terri
tories present a wonderful field for
enterprise. Ti»<y are capable of
supporting vast numbers of peou'e
and adding enorm >udy to tho na
tioual wealth. Tue terrisonal form
of government is the eff etive bar
to the att ii i ame of iU.i Jvery con
ditiou which the eastern . man pre
scribes as tha one essential to state
hood. Is it fair to tie a man’s leg
and then tell him he must heat the
record as a sprinter? Is it fair to
impose up m Arizona, Ne v Mexico
ai.d Utah the political conditions
which prohibit the rapid expansion
of popul itioti and tell them they
must have a certain number of in
habitants before asking for state
hood ! It is alik ? a matter of
business ai d of justice to admit the
territories to the circle of sovereign
states wi bout delay.
A half starved newspiper is
just one point b itter than none at
all. Every business in in in Gillup
should give the Gleaner a little sup
port, no inaft-ir how small; it all
helps. vKiep the pipmr on its pins
and i s publisher in tun will strain
ev.-ry print to give the people of
the coil city just as good a weekly
paper as any publislie l in the -ter
ritory. A half starved horse can
not do as ranch work as a well-fed
aiimil. 12 liters aid publish ;rs
mty be able to pull tlirough on fzee
lunches and wind-pud Jin.?, but
-V
pau.r dealers, real estate owners
and printer*require B^nv j ihing more
subst nitial.—Gillup Gleanor.

Arizona is forging to the front
most rapidly in the cattle feeding
industry Alfilfa fed cattle from
th it territory are supplying the
California markets, and of c #urso
n- fctiug their owners go id profits.
Th** absimlity of the idea that cat
tle would not pay to fatten in the
> west and ship to the seaboard has
b<*«n most thoroughly shown within
the pist few year*, and there is no
1 doubt but that feeding is what will
bring both the cattle and sheep
business out of the kiuk in the
f
* sop ill west. —Stockman.
I The Irrigation Age says: “The
people of the arid states and terri
tories will be expected, during tlie
next few months, t.o formulate the
irrigation policies under which their
hopes of the future may bn realized.
There can be no enduring and
stately structure unless there is
first provided a broal, substantial
foundation. This foundation must
include (1) an honest and workable j
national law for handling the arid
public lands and interstate and in
terstate nnc; international streams,
and (2) a code of state laws recog
nizing certain common principles
relating to water appropriation and
to supervision of ditch construction
and management, as well as to sys
tems of public administration. We
are now' approaching the vital stage
of our formative period. We are
just where the fathers were when
they went into a five months’ ses
sion to buil I the constitution. They
had deelur> d independence und won
r,he object of the revolution, but it
%till remained to formulate mto en
during law the fundamental ideas
upon which their new political aud
iucustrial systems should rest.
Western men have declared their
faith in the new industrial philoso
phy, they have established irriga
tion plants and developed commu
nities after a more than seven years’
war with prejudice, skepticism and
numerous physical obstacles. And
now the time his come to erect a
system of permanent laws upon the
broad principles of justice and equi
ty officially uttered by the interna
tional congress at Los Angeles.
At the Bo wie end of the pro
jected railroad which is to connect
that point with Globe, active ope
rations have commenced. The
Solotnonvillo Bulletin says that an
engineer corps is now at Bowie sur
veying and staking off sidefcraeks
for the yard and laying off work
for the graders. Several carloads
of lumber arrived at Bowie Tues
d>y and men are now at work
erecting a warehouse and office to
be used during the construction
period. Mr. Garland’s railroad
outfit has been shipped to Bowie
from Ogdea Utah and on its arri
val a force of thirty teams will
begin grading. It is the present
intention to complete the grado to
Solomonville by April first ami
have the track laid ti at far by May
first.
It is rumored ori good authority
that the Southern Pacific will adopt
the check system of paying em
ployees which has been in vogue on
the Santa Fe for a long time. By
this system the men instead of re
ceiving cold cash from the pay-car
will be given checks on New York
which they must find a wsy of
cashing at a bank or grocery store.
This move will be taken with a
view of reducing the possible dan
gers of robbery to a minimum.
Train robbers would have little use
for a lot of checks made out »n the
name of railroad employee*. The
payment by check will not inter
fere with the running of the pay
trnius, but instead of cash the
trains will carry only checks.

the president of Wells, Fargo <fe

Arizona as It is Hr me marred.
A story of Arizona, well told,
is in the January mni'eroi' the
Onfsniopolitan. It is by Richard
Htfnry Savage, i?i Arizona as an
arinv engineer about 1870. Graphi
cally he he has portrayed early
Arizona:
“Arizona w;n then a strange sad
land of blood and gold.gi eat parched
| deserts, with uray sands sifted
I
deep over the ruins of the beautiful
work of til-* old Aztecs; gloomy
gorges, fanged with ledges"of rock*
whose shadows hid the red devil*,
i rolling arid mesa, where the coyotes
roamed at will,and tall cicti pointed
from a hell on earth to a heaven
above! Treeless, waterless, liarren,
and wfth a strange suggest! Venes* o
of a lost land, a laud of abandoned !!:
hopes mid forgotten histories.•. •>*■; •
Heavy spind ridges hid b-yo«d
their summits fathomless mysteries
of danger and dark adventure.
“On the heights At night, baleful
glitte'rmg>lndian fires told us of
the movements of our troop*; 0..
Thornbush and roesqtlile grove* .
hid the mean,stunted, Shock-headed.;
wretches, whose name is the syno* ( i
nym for craft, tlnrst, of blood and
devlish ingenuity. For many weary
miles we skirmished over the old
battle ground, where for two hund
red years tke Apache had fousrht
the mail-clad Spaniard, the daring
Mexican, and had butchered in sad
succession, peaceful Jesuit fathers,
the weary emigrant and the lonely
scout or mail carrier ”
legend of Jtatb Tilley
The Indian legend regarding the
origin of Death Valley is an inter
esting one.
From the ou f er edge of this vast
furnace —it is 300 miles square and
160 feet below sea level— on* may
see far of!*, tremulous thrdugh the
shimmer ing waves of heat, a sort
of butte that has the form of a ru
ined castle. The story go-s that
in the old days, before the Amar
gosa river ceased to water the val
ley, the place was the seat of a
powerful city ruled by a princess as
beautiful as Cleopatra and as im
perious as Elizabeth. An embas
sador to the reigning Aztec monarch*
described to her on his return the
glories of the king’s palace in the
City of Mexico.
Resolving to equal the magnify
cence of her neighbor, she began
the erection of a vast buildings Ali i
the laborers and artisans of the city
were employed and the work t wa»>
pushed night and day, for within
twelve months the Aztec ruler was
to be her guest, and she wished to
welcome him to a palace as spied—
did as his own. She exhausted the
resources of her realm; men went
mad with toil and hunger and at
last the high priest protested. BLe
wa9 ordered to execution, and dy-*
ing, cursed the city for the prin-*
cess’ sake. That night the earth
shook and sank, the river dried up
and the morning sun poured down
a flood of heat. All perished, and
now the ruined walls of the palao#
aloue remain. Th* Amargosa, by
the way, is a roost erratic stream.
It flows south ninety miles from it*
fountainhead in the western Sierras
vanishes at Resting .Spring, mwnt
tain, is in evidence again for fifty
miles, disappears for a spaos, then
i hobs up and rans along turbulent
i ly tor 100 miles. Ali.traco tif.it is
’ lost at Death Valley. —Geographic
