AI HARRIS WRITES | An Interesting Letter From Ai-i --eonu—A Description of the Country etc. I Mr. Editor; I have lived in Phoenix Arizona now a year and a half without having written anything to the Gazette about this country. The reason that I am in Phoenix is that Arizona is part of the Los Angles Conference. From Phoenix to Los Angles is six hundred miles. Thipk of that! It is equivalent to Bro. Jamison going next fall as fas as Kansas City to Cprtferencb. And railroad fare out here, is six cents a mile though preachers get half fare. But it is about Arizona and and not myself that I proposed to write. Arizona—Arid-zone, has given to this great territory the idea which people have of it- The greater part of Arizona is indeed worthless not because of sterility but of lack of water, no rain, no irrigation. One crossing the territory across the North by way of the Santa Fe or the other trans continental railway across tho southern portion of the territory, the Southern Pacific will indeed have a poor idea of the territory. Long stretches of prairie bearing sage brush and jack-rabbit, some of it dreary alkali desert. No wonder that many a traveler has exclaimed “I would n’t have this country if they would give it to me!” But ah sir such a remark only evinces your ignorance. Remember first that Arizona is a great territory in size 115,000 square inilea—twice js big a* Georgia, and that you can’t see but a very small part of the country. A man standing upon the Currahee saving “f aee Georgia” would hit it as nearly right as the other. Nestling in between mountains shut out from the great world are many line valleys watered by noble stream#, blooming a# the rose. This valley in wnich Phoenix is situated is surrounded on every hand by massive mountain*, and when you enter the valley it indeed i to a stranger a great surprise. The valley is about thirty miles long and fifteen to twenty wide. It has a gentlo slope to the Southwest. Com ing in on the Northeast is the Salt River a noble stream three times as large as the Hudson. The irrigation companies have built an immense dam across the river and turned out into irrigation canals the water of the rivei. Irrigation is the life of the valley. It rains very little in the valleys. For eighteen months we have not had as much rain here as you have in one good rainy day in Georgia. But little do people care here. They watcli with eager eyes the far off mountain. Heavy snow falls in the mountains mean great crops to the farmers. Snow is far better than rain because it percolates slowly through tho earth running off slowly in the river then lengtheu- ingout the supply of water. It is no trouble for the Almanac man to get up Arizona weather at least this part of Arizona, all that he has to do is to write after eaeli day, fair, and nine times out of ten he’ll hit it. There are four large canals running out from the river clear across the valley and from there shoot out innu merable small canals called laterals which water tho land. The canals are owned by corporations and water is sold by them to the faimer. Cor porations are curious things anyway, they know bow to get your money. Then corporations sell you first a water right seventeen dollars an acre. You’d naturally think that this would mean the right to use water out of their canal, but it does not, it simply means that you have bought the right: to buy water. Water then costs two! dollars and a half per acre. They however will allow you simply to rent a water right and pay for the water. But you ask how in the world then can a farmer make anything ai this rate? The secret is in the land. The land of this valley is as rich as the Delta of the Nile. A crop of alfalfa every six weeks in spring and summer and green pasturage for your cattle twelve months in the year! The main crop for stock is alfalfa. I have seen five hundred acres of alfalfa in one body nearly waist high, with not a hill nor even a mound in tho whole field. Beautiful to look upon and the cheapest stock feed in the world. Hay is usually about four and a half dollars a ton. Twen ty dollars will keep a 'corse a year. It used to cost me seventy five in Georgia. Barley, wheat and oats are raised largely. They cut wheat down and make hay out of it just as you would cut grass. Looking upon a beau'iful field of moving grain knowing that it would soon be fed to the cattle and hogs. 1 thought of how some of the poor Georgia darkies would almost wish them selves Arizona pigs did they but know it- But I have taken up enough of your space this time. W. A: Harris- Now is the time to provide your self and family with a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a safeguard against an attack of bowel complaint during the summer months. It costs but 26 cents and is almost sure to be needed before the summer is over. This remedy never fails, even in the most severe cases, and is in fact the only preparation that can always be depended upon. When reduced with water it is pleasant to take. For sale by R. T.
