Excerpt from The Old New World: An Account of the Explorations of the Hemenway South-Western Expedition in 1887-88, Under the Direction of Frank Hamilton Cushing This magic has been wrought by the touch of the life bringing water, which sparkles on all sides in the tree bordered canals that tap the abundant river and spread their contents over the land in rapid streams. And still the change goes on. Wherever the water can kiss the land, there the soil stirs with new life and clothes itself with a beauty that appeals to all eyes because it is the garb of bounteousness. Daily the rich fields widen and the desert shrinks; at night the burning brush on the clearings dots the horizon with its flames like the lamp lines of a city's environs. For every acre now yielding fat crops, a score will soon be under cultivation, and the river's capacity for irrigation is still beyond estimate.
