CASA GRANDE
As 4 Summer Eesort--The Political
 Pot Simmering.

CASA CYANIDE, AriZ., June 23, lo9O.
 With the beginning of warm weather the customary exit of Arizona .commen- ces. Some going one way, some another, while many remain at home, as people are learning to call what they long con sidered as temporary dwelling place While many thus so away for a visit to early homes and to sec old friends and not entirely to escape the summer neat as is thought to be the only and chief reason for going, many remain here year after year, their health apparent y of the best, and comparing favorably Tn ap- pearance with those who have been away and who return with complexlonS perhaps shade or So lighter from the bleachings from sea -fogs or by sleeping indoors By physicians and residents by winch is meant people who winter and summer here, the summer time Is considered the healthier pf the two seasons. True, we have warTn weather but tue dryness of the atmosphere makes 6 temperature of even ll2" |. far more comfortable than damp days atrao- sphere of ess than 100o elsewhere, and al. aicng the desert, Gs some ike to csii the country between Yuma and Tucsen, aitheugn the summer days are warm, no one is uncomfortable or suffers greatly from the heat. There are days that are lovely aGj what wlta ths glorious sun- sets, the perfect nights ana tho fresh mornings, one could ask no more. Work men, tsansters, track walkers, and har- vesters pursue their daily avocations ah through ths day, and sunstroke is un- known. Some, by caIelessly drinking too much ice-water while in a heated condi- tion have injured themselves, as in other countries. The eathern ola made by the Indians and used by all for cooling water for drinking purposes IS better than iced drinks. No Indian will drink ice-water, as he thinks 1t injurious.
 The soda factory of Messrs Stone Smith is in active operation.
 Frank Souva's new Aermotor and tank are in position, ana 1t Is said that bath rooms are soon to be constructed and prices of baths reduced to fifteen cents. he water after standing m the galvan- iZsd tanks in the sunshine for while IS of temperature that renders bath delight. There Is much virtue ID sun shine, and an old fashioned method sup posed to render bath peculiarly health ful and beneficial was to ill tub With water and expose 1t to the sunshine for few hours before bathing.
 Very little water Is said to be available for irrigating purposes but scheme IS talked Of and will no doubt be perfected in the near future to obtain enough for all purposes. The Butte reservoir, if ar rangements caR be perfected, is already under consideration, to be built as soon as practicable. 1t is something unusual that wells in the mining locality have gone dry this season, that generally fur nish an abundance of water.
 The town is quiet at present. One hears of TO active preparations for the coming glorious Fourth. A year ago quite a celebration of that day was held, and is very pleasantly remembered.
 Only one arrest of late, and that one an Indian, by constable Summings. By rath CT forcible remarks ln broad daylight your correspondent has learned that the recent items in regard to the happen ings of our little town have fallen rather heavily and have been taken severely to heart by some who have taken the des- crlpticns as applicable directly to them selves If in any matter your correspond ent has been misinformed, or has in the slightest degree been untruthful, he is willing to make a handsome apology. On the other hand, if only slight Gliu- sion has been made, as much in jest as otherwise, and nothing very bad said of any one. 1t is known that little truth is wholesome, no one need vent spite es pecially on .innocent people, for such things generally bring merlted return, because a very small portion of Casa Grande methods has appeared in print. As for the men holding positions here, whsthar as constable or deputies, they are all good men and honest citizens. May their shadows never grow less.
 '. The political pot Is on and simmering; 3 candidate now and then bobs up, but the pickle is as yet hardly strong enough fer all to come 10 the top and stay However Ts shall sec what we shall see.
