THE CARNIVAL.
T|ie people at Phoenix are making
great efforts to make a grand suacess
of the •'Carnival, which opens next
Monday.
Visitors and also the local people
of Phoenix will rejoice to know that
the Oafviva} Association will procure
for them this year a grand stand lo
cated in front of the Queen’s throne
and the stage where alfthe perform
ances will take place at a distance
from the same not to exceed 40 feet.
On this grand stand seats will be re
served fortjie entire season and at a
piost remarkably low rate. The
grand stand will seal nearly 1500 per
sons, with about two-thirds of these
numbers reserved on season tickets.
The plan adopted in otjier cities of
having coupon books entitling the
holder to one seat in the graud stand
(numbered) and held for them at all
times will hiaet with great favor. The
price of these coupon books will be
&3.GQ and they will cover every per
formance, which will be about fifteen,
- j f
parades, pageants, Queen’s Coronation
UeremoiGe?, and a fine view of the
tbron ? cun be thus obtained. Some
200 of theso seats will be held for
residents of Tempe, a Mesa and ad
jacert cojintry. Orders by mail will
will be attended^).
The arrangements are practioaliy
completed for tho great Phoenix
Indian and Cowboy Carnivq), aqd
when President' /McKinley at Wash
ington sends a telegram formally
opening the affair, which will be read
by Director-General Lewis, a week’s
amusement and sport unparalleled in
the history of Arizona territory will
be inaugurated. The program is oue
of interest from start to finish, com
mencing on Monday.with the great
6iyic, Military, Cowboy and Indian
Parade, concluding with the corona
tion of the Queen of the Carnival and
Street Fair, Mrs. B. N. Pratt, in in
stalling her on the throne, and with
the vaudfeville # entertainments the
opening day will be one of complete
enjoyment.
The Carnival the present year in
Phoenix is a combination of the highlv
original idea of the past years of the
exhibition of Indian and Cowboy
ti-t,
sports, industries, characteristics and
pastimes together wirh the new idea
of a street fair.
The decorations are ip charge of
Mr. Frank E. Pratt, of San Francisco,
aud they will be of the finest kind.
The Director-General of the Car -
nival, Hop. R. Aliya Lewis, is a very
popqlqr and well known your.g busi
ness man of Phoenix,jwith a big circle
of friends and acquaintances. The
Carnival Committee the yresent year,
Hirschfeld, Clark, Goldberg,
Luhrs, McGowan, Denham and Price,
are all with one exception meu bers of
last year's Carnival jSxeputive Com -
mittee.
Cowboy sports begin on Tuesday
and will be held Thursday aud Satur
day of that week. The Baby Coach
parade, Rib! on Parade and the
various h< aqtiful features of Woman’s
Day come on Friday.
Mrs. Chief Justice Webster Street
and ber committee of ladies will have
i.Hrr' ‘.
charge of the Queen's Reception on
Thursday night, which will be a very
j brilliant afftir. And on Friday night
the official Carnival Ball will be tho
society event of the year in Phoenix.
The Queen and her court were selected
this year by the committee of ladies
appointed specially for the purpose,
and there wng no voting on the sapm
(Our local railroad will give special
rates during carnival week.

The txitcu'ivo committee of the
gemn! water storage committee has
’ —
repprted the following as a draft of a
bill to authorize Maricopa County to
issue bonds to construct a storage
reseryoir. Every one should read it,
think about it and talk about it, as it
overshadows everything else in i(&~
portance. Here it is:
Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United
States of America, in congress as

A PROFITABLE INDUSTRY.
There is no room for doubt that
the goat industry is me of the most
profitable of any which can be engaged
in for the arid region, both for the
plains and mountains Goats require
little care, will increas more rapidly
than any other kind of stock, and will
live and thrive where any other kind
of-Btoek will starve. They are more
profitable than sheep. They cost les3
r, O raise and sustain. They will live
on shrubs; will climb the most rugged
mountains and fatten where sheep or
cattle will starve. They require less
water than any other k ,Q d °f stock.
There is a cash value to every hide.
The meat of the kid especially is as
healthy and palatable as any kind of
meat. There are idle mountain and
plain ranges in Southern and Central
Arizoua which could sustain millions
of goats. Who will show the spirit
and enterprise to branch opt into this
profitable and safe industry.—Star.

It is s»id that Arizona is to take a
prominent jpart in the inaugural parade
at Washington. A squadron of
Rough Riders is to be fortified, 1 among
which will be a large number of Ari
zona bqys. The squadron is to act as
the b->dy guard of Vice-President
Roosevelt. Efforts are now being
made to secure favorable tadroad
rates for those who will participate.

The time seems fully ripe {o' the
west to tal?e a firm an 4 decided stand
on the question of national irrigation
and something great may be accomp
lished at once. Why not ? It is as
right that Congress should appropriate
for storage reservoirs as for
river and harbor improvements. The
building of storage reservoirs would
obviate the necessity for mqch rtyey
# • » I * ' i
expenditure and would help naviga
tion, and the home building area of
the United States Would be vastly in
creased. And now if the West makes
this demand the Eatt will back it up,
for the benefit would not bo local.
$ very western paper is interested
in seeing this development accomp -
lished. What would bs the result of
an appropriation of eight or ten mil
lion d >liars spent annually in the west
for irrigation construction? The im
mediate stimulation would be enor
mous and the future benefit greater.
This policy should be
and the western press should urge it
with one voice. It is a national mat
ter; it can be productive only of .great
good; the East is responsive; will the
West be aggressive; it is time to work.
It is the opinion at Washington
that $40,000,000 will be appropriated
by this congress for river and harbor
improvements. Os this the western
half of the United States will get,
judging by previous records, a couple
of million or so. Whatover ars Jj e f
possibilities, it is not contended that
the West is as important or influen
tial as the £&Bt. ’She has not yet the
dense population; but why should she
not get at least a fair share o| this
great approprsation ? Why should
she not get a’fourth of it, to be ap
plied to the building of great storage
reservoirs to be filled with flood waters
for use in irrigation, pndey a system
of internal improvements 1
The goverrin-nt is spending large
suras m aiding in the development of
foreign trade and the openidg of for
eign markets for American manufac
turers. It is believed that we should
push our goods into every market of
the world and sell tflein. The belief
is also gaining ground that the govern
ment should al4b develop its home
market for . American products and
manufacturers. This it could do by
reclaiming the 75,000,000 acres of
western arid land and settling them ’
with thousands of industrious home
builders. Eastern merchants are
more than willing to see such an
undertaking. The West should take
the initiative
