Casa Grande Notes. .

CASA GRANDE, Ariz., June 3rd, lS9O.
 Although the days are warm, the thermometer indicating 100 to 106 de- grees Fahrenheit in the shade, no one is as yet uncomfortable as there is generally on the hottest day gentle breeze moving with the regularity of d sea breeze-indeed We are not SO far away from the Gulf of Califoi mia that with no obstruction 10 speak of, we may not receive the benefit of 8 breath from the salt water now and then. The nights are perfect. so cool that the energies of the day are re stored and one wakes after refreshing sleep like a new being. No mosquitoes to torment, nor any of those busy heNs that our neighbors north, in Califor- mia are inflicted with, and which must be endured uncomplainingly and with stoical silence. Mention is made here of fleas, because no mention Is made elsewhere, that invalids or they who are looking for q paradise on earth may know that here at least, we are free from pests of all kinds. If strangers who live afar are looking this way with longing eyes and have fear of bold robbers and Apaches, in regard to the first how many know that for years the residents of this country sleep in the summer time right out under the stars, and never think summer or winter of barring or locking their doors? As for the Apache our worthy President Harrison has promptly responded to the last cry for aid from the white settlers and the human tigers are at least to be prevented from doing farther harm. Although 1t is customary for many to leave Arizona to escape the summer heat, 1t seems that those who from choice or are compelled by circum- stances to remain and become acclima- ted enjoy better health than the ones who leave.
