The bright and pleasant weather that
we Yumaites are enjoying is simply su-
perb; one cannot resist the invitatlen:to
stroll around and enjoy the delights of
our perfect cline. Starting from the
Southern Pacific Hotel, surrounded by its
bright green terraces, of rapidly growing
trees and shrubbery and and going up
Madison Avenue, we pass several we'll
kept and ornamental gardens. Arriving
at the L. R reading and bunk rooms one
Nugent, the popular Mastcr-mechanic of
the Company at this place. Everything
is neatly and comfortably arranged in the
bunk house, which is picturesquely built
in the center of an already lovely garden; ;
laid out in ornamental beds of tuberoses
verbenas and other flowers, number of
vigorous growing cottonwood and pepper
trees. Leaving here and gong to the
commodious Round house the same
neatness is noticeable. In front of the
und-house new turn-table is being
built. The masonry for Its support will
contain $4,000 bricks; the turn table is OF
wrought iron, 81 feet in length, and
weighs 40 tons. This work is under the
direction of Messrs. Swayne aud Miller
Crossing over the street the beautiful
garden of Judge Tonge is reached; the
genial owner of this place has caused the
desert to blossom with bright-hued roses
and flowers of many varieties; he also has
| a grove of good bearing banana ees, fig
and orange trees all doing well. Judge
Tonge raised this season good crop OF
market, in this village. Continuing Up
Main Street the business houses are on
either side bustling with activity, keeping
the wheels of CONNER ce in motion. On
the whole, Yuma at the present day is
| full OF interest. Business is fair, and the
prospectfor larger trade is bright. I'm
provements are constantly being made
here by both orr citizens and the rail-
road company. The latter fact bears ont
our assertion, that there is no truth in
the report of the taking up of the track
between Cotton and Casa Grande. Tt
the invalid or stranger seeking a pleas
ant homelike place, to hibernate we say,
come to Yuma; the spot that nature has
blessed with eternal sunshine, bright
skies, and the most equable and perfect
climate in the universe for two thirds OF
the year.
