Cameron's secretary, Zaclau, were the guests of the people of Yuma and the Yum valley last Friday. The distinguished guests arrived Vmca Thursday evening nt and there was an impromptu reception heljirat the Gandolfo hotel lit, nt which nearly evurj citizen vWuniii managed to he present and hands with -Mr. Cameron. riday morning the guests were taken fssa ride through the Yum a alky, jHBK1's btlll" made and Friday they were taken to the grcaHBkdam and shown over that struc Project Engineer Sellcw. Friday eveninsj public sp akiiM had been arrange! the Main streci school building, and one ol the largest crowds ever seen in Yaina was oat to Pear the suecches.

Mayor F. L. Ewing presided and the first speaker he introduced Attorney P. i Robertson, v.ho in a short speech welcomed the gatsts to the city and paid high tribute to Delegate Camcrou-and others whe were instrumental in securing statehood for Arizona. Mayor Ewing then introduced Hon Ralph Cameron and in part Mr.

Cameron said: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen and Fellow Arizoniaus: "I want to assure you that it is -a distinct pleasure for me to face a Ya-ma audience. There arc many men cries of Yuma in my mind as 1 face you. I came to Yuma IS or VJ years ago, una expected at that time to make this city my bomc. 1 filed ou some land near here, but when the government afterward made its ruling I was ruled off, and that is probably the rt ason that 1 do not now hai' from Yuma instead of "Flagstaff." "I di not come here expecting the thanks of the.

people for what I have done, but I came here to meet my constituents, the people I am. working for arfd to see if there is anything I can do for you. "The people of Arizona are the host people on earth; they are gathered from all the states in the union, and they are to-day writing history that will live in the years to come. 1 have been visiting the different sections cf Arizona and everywhere I have gone have noted" progress and prosperity all over the stale. "The people of this lerrito.y have everything to be proud of and everything to be prcud for.

We have ou; lcrtile agricultural valleys, we have cur mines cf surpassing richness, we have the largest coal fields in the U. and there is absolutely no Reason why this state should not be first lore most in the grand sisterhood of btatcs. "It is now up to Arizona to make good with a constitution that wilt met ttitli the approval of the wholo 'world and stamp the men uf the hour. "There has been much talk over the territory and in the territorial press that we might not get statehood in its entirety until 1912 or 1913, but this is not true. It depends on the jcople of Arizona to make a constitution that will meet witn the approval, ami depends entirely on the people as to whether we are eight months, or two yenrs getting into the union.

"Ninety-seven per cent of the people aie for a constitution that will get us statehood at once; for sr. re au-1 ane document. Then why let the three per ycent dominate us in this, our chance of imtting Arizona in the column of states under the grand old flag: "I hope, ladies and' gentlemen, that when I go back to congress that I can present to the president the "'finest and best constitution of any state in the union, "It does not make -in difference If we do not get every whim aud eveiy of everybody into the coastitu-ti What we is a safe and sruc constitution that the president can anrove of, and the whole people essn approve of, and if we get this eng err belcre March 4, Arizona cltorlu be Edmittcd into the union. "President Taft has been with us, confess has rallied to flag. Senator ileveridge has worked for us.

Chaiima.i Hamilton has worked hard nd the people of Arizona responsible for the passage of the statehood LiU. President Taft was out among us October. He stated that he never HiCt a better cla-s of people anywhere. he Wfjit befoie congress and the rs of the party with that state me -nt. Postmaster General Hitchcock also made a trip out and came back; to Washington enthus-idti-; lor the adrntosijii of Arizona, anu to iill tl.nsf we as AnzoiriaiM oV2 dc bt ran repay." tVn iarche1 on focal conditi- i id -'id-thai he was 'will; the people hrc in their efforts to get the irrigation project finished and would do what he could to the work to a successful and quick completion Mayor Ewing then introduced the Hon.

Joe Morrison, who said in part: "There has been much said about statehood with a string tu it. but I want to tell you my friends, that the string is in our own hands and that all we have to do is to pull the string When it comes to delegates to the constiti-tional cohventin, get tho'A-i-zona boy up there, the real, dyed in the wool Arizonian, and we will get a constitution that the president can approve of in one minute. The United States enstiiution is the peer of all document in the Last 10-1 ears, and we, cf Arizona, sliou'd prepare the same kind of document; a good, safe, sound constitution and one founded on that of the older states. Then we are sure of admission at tr.e earliest possible moment." Mr. Morrison then went on to state that itrwas not wise to make a constitution full of whims and freaks and the thousand and one other tVngs that some people would want to' put in that document, but he to make a short, concise, safe anfl sane tlocu ment, and leave the legislatures the territory to do the rest.

His speech was well received and applauded. Atty. Thos. D. Molloy was th- last speaker and the band played anil the Lig crowd broke up.

Mr. Cameron made many now and non-partisan friends during his stay here and cemented many old friendships as did Mr iJorrison In Mr. Zaclau. Mr. Cameron has for a secretary a young trail who has all the qualifications of successful to a public man.

Ht is affable -inr courteous io all, as is Mr. Camer-i and both by anybody on any subject. TTcv left on the Calif rnian Friday night for Phoenix, where Mr Cameron was tendered a big reception Saturday night. The Imperial Standard has the following letter from Engineer Scobey, at the C. D.

D. company does not take over dredge until demonstrated as practicable. Not enough work had been done to estimate of length of time necessary to effect a showing on the water supply. Will give you that in a day two. I waded in and swam the enti.J length of the intake canal, 1,900 feet Main channel about five feet' deep except a short bar 800 feet above th gate, which showed water but 212 feet deep, and this is the controlling point of the amount of water.

As soon as the dredge passes this point the supply will increase over whatever it had been before. That is without count of the river afe we cannot estimate action of the river. The pile driver was unloaded from 'the cars this morning. It left Mela-land last Friday. Fifteen men -are at work assembling 'it.

Pumps, tanks and sleeping quarters are being buit on the river edge on California side of the trestle. Lew Farnsworth and I wadetl half way across the Colorado river and swam the other half. The channel ana current are on the Arizona side. No piles will be driven until Weti-nescay in my estimation. The gauge at Yuma is 15.9 on Tuesday morning at 7:00 clock.

This is 2 inches lower than a week ago. The party of us are going to Laguna cam this morning and back to the heading from. Yuma this noon. I will report to you each day personally un less otherwise It would be a good idea Ao 'phone the main part of this to HoltviHo and Crawley. I will send them I report from the heading where I can get a machine.

Oregon's roiiy Under the above heading the Portland Orogonian, one of the very ab'est edited newspapers on the Pacia'e coast, prints the following editorial upon a subject that is being much discussed in Arizona just now as a possible provision lo be placed in our constitution: "Thirty two measures have been tiled at Salem -under the initiative or through the referendum to be voted on by the people at large in November. Will anyone say that a so stupendous should have been laid upon the electorate as, a whole? Will anyone dare say that a duty so grave and so various can be performed intelligently or conscientiously or adequately by the people aciiug in the mass, or by one half of them, or by one-tenth of them, or by one hundredth part of them? It cannot be done. It is impossible that it should be done. Legislation is a solemn public service requiring expert knowledge, careful deliberation, open and public discussion, frequent revision and compromise, and intelligent insight into the pur poses and probable consequences of every act. The state of Oregon, however, has thought that all the lessons of experience and history could be wholly disre garded and representative government upset and that every man could voluntarily assume the functions of a.

legislator. When shall we have- an end to this folly? When will we see that it is absurd to pass laws, 82 at a time, upon live minutes' consideration in the privacy of it voting" booth? Sooner or later it will be disastrous, for they are going to have in Oregon soon the worst mess and jumole of legislative curiobities ever- enacted in a civilized state. There is no way to avoid such an outcome except by strict limitation of the initiative and by resort to the referendum only in certain defined cases." There is more catarrh in this ssc-tion of the country than all other diseases put togeether, and until th i last fe wyears was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doc tors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by con-- -ailing to cure with local'treat-meuts. pronounced it incurable.

Bat science has now pronounced it to be a constitutional disease and therefore it requiies constitutional treatmem. Hali's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the markete. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teeaspoonful.

GOVERNOR SLOAN ON THE CONSTITUTION "The constitution itself should, in my opinion, be a document setting forth the purely organic law of the state in the sense that it is the declaration of principles and includes only those things that should rightly form a constitution. By this I mean that every matier of legislation inserted in the constitution will tie the hands of the people at tempting to act hereafter through their legislature.

1 do not believe that any legislative restrictions save purely necessary ones' should be inserted. The real rules by which the people shall bo governed; that is, the laws of the state, should be left to the legislature to follow." Gov. Sloan.

Statehood in ew Mexico Neither the republican nor the democratic territorial central committees in New Mexico have as yet opened headquarters for the campaign for constitutional delegates, and bothv complain of a lack of funds. Th'c sincere friends of statehood are surprises! on account the general apathy that seems to prevail. There is very little real enthusi asm among the people.

Leaders are also alarmed over the coir-plications that are looming up and many feel sorry now that no agreement was reached be tweeir the two central committees. Newspapers well as indi vidua Is inclined to be radical, urge the defeat oT any constitution drafted by either party, radical democrats insisting that a republican constitution must necessarily be a corporation document, and radical republicans just as earnestly contending that a constitution formulated by a democratic convention must nec essarily be Oklahoraienntl social istic and should be defeated. The prohibitionists are just as certain that a constitution having no prohibition clause merits defeat at, the hands ofthe peo pie, while the saloon advocates will vigorously fight any consli-tution containing it, and union labor insists that the constitution must contain an au.ti itijuuc Hon plank or else will be opposed by the laboring men. In the counties in which the native Mexican, people prevail, pestiferous agitators are spread iiig the idea tliitt statehood means an end to the political influence-of the native people; wilT cut them out of all offices'; will mean the repeal of the 200 tax exemption law and the taxing of all native farms, homes, sheep and cattle. It would be a sad spectacle iu-deed to have Arizoua present a ratified constitution to congress next February, while New Mexico would have to call a second constitutional convention, with statehood once more removed to the dim future.

Petroleum lleserve The Phoenix land office is' in receipt of a copy of a petroleum withdrawal made by the Presi dent on July 2nd, and which may be of far reaching effect throughout the territory. It 4is probably the tiVst made" under the act of June, 1910, giving the -President the right to make such withdrawals, and is for lands sit; uated in township -10 north, ranges 7, 8 and 9 west, township til north, ranges 7 to li) west, G.

Ives and Mark Smith arc finally agreed upon the iniquities of statehood is indeed welcome news to all Tucsonians.

It disposes of the canard circulated by the organ of the Maricopa democra cy that the political plans of these two erstwhile partners were in conflict. The distinguished jurist and the silver-tongued orator are now openly condemning a law which the people of the territory, regardless of politics, are hailing with delight; which was placed on the statute book without a single democratic vote in the negative, and which, in its terms of admission, marks a return to the historic precedent under which a majority of the states have entered the union. In his telegram to the Citizen last Saturday Mr. Ives declared his attitude in these words: "My ppsition was that the people, by electing a democratic constitutional convention should repudiate the infamy of the republican congressional enactment, which requires that the constitutiou should be submitted to the Pres ident and congress for Can this threat to defeat statehood dii the part of an able railroad lawyer be an intimation from ohe great corporations of a scheme to continue th.B status q.uo that they may not be deprived of the generous treatment accorded them under a territori aliform of government, or is it fonly so much political -buncombe intended to further the candidacy of a democratic aspirant for the senatorial toga?

Statehood is what the people of Arizona want not political buncombe and rattle brained oratorical hysteria for revenue only. It is to be hopecrthat the rank and tile' republicans will see to it that the very best men of the party are selected as candidates for delegates to the constitutional convention men who will sacrifice their hobbies or "isms" (if tlxiy have any) in the interest of common sense and state government in the shortest possible time. There is evident-ly'a strong desVe on the part of a certain class of beneficiaries under the present status of 'affairs to prolong the admission of Arizona, for obvious reasons.

A crazy. quilt constitution will have this effect. The preliminary skirmish begins with the primaries. August 12. The nominating convention will be held August 17.

Let enthusiastic interest take the place of indifference and apathy. Let the party nominate three of their best men. Woman suffrage and prohibition, the initiative and' referendum, the recall, etc. these are questions about which there are wide differences of opinion. But.

the question of statehood is one upon which the whole of us can and do agree we want it-as soon as we can get it.

P. wh has been in Imperial valley I his week, says the El Centro Press, and who departed yesterday for his.lrome in Redlands, announced while here the consummation of one of the most important deals in Col orado delta lauds made during the past year.

This is the sale of the thirty two thousand acre tract of land in Lower California just below the international line and lying in Imperial valley, which was owned by the Inter-California Land Company, of which Mr. Holt is the president. vThe entire tra-ct has been. sold by the company to Cudahy, head of the great packing houses of this name in Chicago and Kansas City, who has a winter home in Pasadena. The purchase price is $1,200,000.

This sale is notable from several points of view. Primarily it shows that men of large affairs are convinced of the desirability of investments in Imperial valley and have confidence in notwithstanding the vari ous problems which have confronted the settlers. It also shows the general advancement in values, as this tract of land will net the Inter-California Land Company 400,000 o.n their investment of a little less than one year. Tha company purchased this land from the California-Mexico Land Cattle Company for 25 per acre, and has just sold the property for 37.50 per acre. The company has spent about 30,000 on improvements, surveys, on the land during its ownership.

The tract lies along the line of the Inter-California Railroad from Calexico to Yuma by way of Mexican territory, and has within its boundaries some of the richest land in the valley. The central point is the townsite and station of Cocopah, where the Inter California Land Companyo had planned considerable devel opment to be carried out under the direction of XV. F. Holt, whose ability as a town builder has been demonstrated oh the American side df the valley. Mr.

He will spend one million dollars on development work in the land -and will establish various enterprises there. The news is of importance to the various towns on the American side, as the ivelopment of this great tract will cause much business to be turned to these places. Vote for Power Plants With less than 1800 out of nearly 30,000 votes cast, voting in the negative', the farmers of the Salt River valley approved of the plan to postpone payment on the Roosevelt project for two years, and in the meantime levy annual assessments of 2.25 per acre to raise nearly one million dollars for the purpose of building canals and power plants.

The result of the vote wTas overwhelmingly in favor of the big power scheme. Plans that will now be carried out will make Phoenix one of the most important electrical power centers in the wese. Not only will power be developed for local pumping and commercial purposes, but there will be a large amount to sell to surrounding mining camps and for other purposes in nearby localities. Colonist Rates The general agents of both the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads have announced the colonists' rates for the coming year from the east. They will be sold over both roads on the following dates: August 25 "to September 9, inclusive, and October 1 to October 9, inclusive.

The rates are as follows: To California common points andU their intermediates, which includes Phoenix, from Chicago, $33; from Minneapolis and St. Paul, 81.75: Missouri River poiuts, Kansas City and Omaha, 25; from Fort "VVorthHonston and San Antonio, 2.5; St. Louis, and New Orleans, 32; Kansas points, Denver, Pu eblo and Colorado Springs, 25.
