Murphy's annual report. The valuation of taxable property is $27,9:23,0110 -on a low as sessment, and the territorial bonded indebtedness is SGSI.000. There are 12 miles of Irrigating canals, not in- eluding laterals, and 343,000 acres of land have been reclaimod. There are still 1,730,000 acres capable of re clamation. The yield of wheat, rye, barley, and oats is equal to that of the Northern tier of states, says the Governor, and cotton, sugarcane, sweet potatoes, and all kinds of semi tropical plants flourish with even more luxuriance than they do In tha Lower Mississippi Valley and the Gulf states.

Irrespective of what that dish might be. and no matter whether the quantity consumed was greater or smaller, it was made to satisfy the desire for food to the full at each meal. No supplementary dishes, such as soups desserts or condiments, were allowed; one single dish, and that taken plain, was found to ratisfy the appetite much sooner than a variety of dishes, even if the quantity was apparently smaller and on almost an abstemious scale.

The prince's conver sation might be summarized in this way: "Alexander has no Idea of doing wrong to any one. Hi9 heart is full of kindness. He is happy only when surrounded by bis family circle. Ii. Is true that the foulest . maladminis tration and persecution are going on all atxjut him. but he, p nor feilow, is I Incapable of st-eln them.
