AGRICULTURE.


 Graham is one of the leading farming divisions of Arizona. The Gila river, Tn It's course through the county, forms what is known as the Pueblo Viejo valley. This rich and beautiful vale contains some thing like 10000 acres of as fertile soil as can be found in the United States. It has a charming situa- tion. To the southwest the tow ering Graham peak rears it's lofty head, and directly west are seen the dark and sombre outlines of Nit. Turnbull, $500 feet above tide water. North and east are the Gila and Peloncillo ranges, while to the south stretches the wide plain of the San Simon. Like an emerald lake, the lovely valley sits surrounded by giant noun tain sentinels, Q picture of perfect repose and prosperity. When the snow capped peaks of the Graham range flash in the spring sun-tide, the fields at its feet are mass of green, with here and there the bright blossoms of the orchard and garden.
 The valley is about 4.000 feet above the sea, and is especially adapted to fruits of the hardier va rieties, such as apples, plums, cher ries, etc. Peaches and grapes do well, the latter being large, juicy and of fine flavor. There is no bet ter locality in Arizona for straw berries, currant', blackberries, gooseberries, and other small fruits. Wheat, corn, barley, oats, and other grains give yield of from thirty to sixty bushels to the acre. Alfalfa is also at home here, the yield being as large and quality as good as that of the Salt river val ley. Two crops each year can be grown here. Wheat and barley are sown in January and harvest ed in June. Corn is then planted on the same land, and is ripe in October. This part of Arizona is well suited for the raising of corn, the product being unsurpassed for

GRAHAM COUNTY.
The Leading Agricultural Section of Arizona. Its Mineral De- pOsits. Fine Grazing Lands.
 Principal Towns.

The following description of Graham county is taken from a pamphlet recently issued by Hon. Patrick Hamilton, Commissioner of Immigration for Arizona.
 Graham is the youngest of the political divisions of Arizona. It was organized in 1881, from DOT tons of Pima and Apache counties. It embraces an area of 6, ,485 square mile, and is bounded on the east by New Mexico; on the south by Cochise; oh the west by Pinal and and Gila; and on the north by Apache county. The county is traversed by the Gaittro; the -4piii- naleno, the Gila, the Peloncillo, and the Natanes ranges, which cross from northeast to southwest Mount Graham, in the Pinaleno range, from which the county takes its name, attains an elevation of over 10000 feet.
 South of the Gila there are many wide and grassy valleys, the largest being the San Simon. North of the stream the appear ance of the country is more broken and hilly; and along the Blue and San Francisco rivers there are many canyons walled ID by pre- cipitous mountains.
 Graham is well watered. The Gila river flows through the coun- ty from the New Mexican bounda- " to the line of Pinal; while the San Francisco, the Blue, Eagle creek, Bonita, and other streams, flow down from the White Noun tain and Mogollon ranges, and en- ter the Gila west Of the New Mex ican line.
 In the southwestern part of the county the Aravaypai creek waters the rich pasture lands between the Galiuro and Santa Teresa ranges.
 There are, besides the rivers and streams, numerous springs of clear, cold water, throughout the more elevated mountains, and in the delightful little valleys which lie at their feet. With its mas sive mountains, deep canyons, tow ering peaks, wide plains, beauti- ful valleys, and rolling, grassy hills, the scenery of Graham Is among the most striking and pie turesque of any in Arizona. It possesses those three great sources of wealth inning, grazing and az riculture-is blessed with a most delightful and healthy climate, and is certain to be the seat of a large and prosperous population.
 According to the census of 1882, Graham had 4,229 inhabitants. There has been a steady increase since then, and the present popu- lation must be over 5000. The total valuation, according to the assessors books, is S1, ,160,000. The debt of the county is merely nom inal.

Another Letter From President Bar.
ret of the Hoard of Public
Works.
President Barrett has sent the following
letter to the board of public works:
Gentlemen: 1 am in receipt of a communi-
cation from the clerk of the board stating
your action last evening upon my resignation
OF the office Of president OF the board. 1t was
not what thought it would be. My action
was not the result of sentiment or caprice,
but was intended in good faith. In brief
interview with Gen. Becker upon the street
this afternoon friday, L stated that it is my
purpose TO resign as a member Of the board.
l go out of town this evening (Friday) and
Shall not return until Monday night or Tues
day morning. On my return TO the city L
shall meet with you and will then fully explain
the reasons for my action, and trust the ex-
PLANTATION will be satisfactory. Respectfully
yours, WILLIAM BARRETT.
No successor has yet been talked about
by the members, because it is believed Mr..
Barrett may be induced to withdraw his
resignation. Gen. Becker said last night
that Mr.. Barrett told him the reason he re-
signed was because he could not much
longer endure the burden of the duties of
the office. and he could not afford to devote
his time for the small compensation $500
per annum.) Still, Gen. Becker did not

Dictated that he could not be induced to Te-
sumo the office for awhile at least, consid-
ering that Mr.. Barrett is man of much
public spirit. Assistant City Engineer
Starkey said yesterday that there was no
truth in the story that there had been any
friction between President Barrett and the
city engineers Office over the cement works
matter. There is occasionally little fric-
ton between the city departments. but
nothing unusual has occurred.

DR.. A. Guernon, st. Vincent was an ar
rival at the Merchants. He is the late APP
pointee as United States collector of GUS
toms at St. Vincent, whose appointment
was rejected by the United States senate
during the past week. Appointed last
June or July, ne did not take charge of the
office until the following September, and
consequently has not been in Office quite a
year. In order to take the office originally,
he resigned the position of superintendent
of schools at Little Falls, his old home,
and also retired from fairly lucrative
practice as physician. His rejection by
the senate was not total surprise to him, as
being thoroughly posted as to the feeling of
BoOkwalter, his predecessor, who was dis
missed from the service, and of Book
walters warm and personal friend in the
senate in Sabin, he was in measure pre-
pared for such a result as the failure to
confirm the appointment. His retirement
from the Office will be accomplished as
soon as successor is duly qualified to take
charge. Dr.. Guernon passed through the
city ell route to his home at Little Falls,
where his family have continued to reside
Capt. James E. White, Chicago, is at the
Ryan. He is the division superintendent OF
mails with headquarters at the Garden City,
a position which he has held for some
years. His visits to st. Paul is in the in
terest of the mail service. He is negotiat-
ing for increased quarters at the union
depot for mail purposes.

chants that the contest for the Republican

Marshal Denny or Maj. Strait was in the
field. When asked if he considered Re-
| publican nomination in that district equiva-
| lent to an election, he said that he so con-
sidered it. In explaining how it happened
in so-called strongly Republican district
that MAJ. Strait. the Republican nominee
in 1884, received 16, 456 votes, while DON
nelly. the Democratic nominee, pOlled Is,
03S and StearnS sos, he said that Strait had
been before the Republicans so many times
| that they had become tired of him and did
not care whether he was elected or not.
Mr.. Reed thought that Strait would moi
enter the field the present year.
| Frank Hatton, Chicago, registered at the
| Ryan. At present he is engaged in build
[ ing up the Chicago Mail, one of the bright
est papers of the Garden city. Before en-
tering into the journalistic field of Chicago
he served for brief term as postmaster
general, succeeding Judge Gresham, who
retired from President Arhar's cabinet tt
accept a position on the federal bench
Hatton, as assistant postmaster general
was promoted. Previous to that he was
the business manager of the Burlington
Hawkeye, paper which Bob Burdetts
brought into favorable notice by his humor

his family, and was en- route to the lakes
