Like Phoenix, Tucson is enjoying an unusually good summer business. The new postofiice building and massive granite church on Stone avenue, the score of el egant mercantile and dwell- ing houses recently completed and as many more now in course of coustruc- ton, keep an army of AriZonians at worK at remunerative wages.
 But few of the wealthier classes and society people have emigrated 10 q l cooler climate this summer. They evil dently found by past experience that 6 little sea breeze offered no sufficient cont mpensation for the expense incurred and the loss of home comforts. With the advent of the north and south rail | road thousands of Arizonians will be able to spend next summer at Prescott, Flagstaff, the great Colorado caflon, and do this in only few hours trip, and at a very small outlay of money. It is gratifying for people of Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa to witness among the produce dealers of Tucson the sign boards placed over their goods, Mesa fruit store," Tempe cream butter" Salt River valley fruits. Our Tucson "ikll lhub fundamental principal of inducing the people of community to patronize home industries unsteady of draining the country of it's gold by sending away their money, causing depression in trade.
 The completion of the Santa Cruz canal and the construction of projected reservoirs, together with the general favorable aspect of statehood, silver coinage adjustment, and the funding act approved, augurs for Tucson an era of great prosperity.
 The weather has been unprecedently hot. Old Sol sent the mercury to ll0 degrees during the past week, and even IA degtees for short time; but this is triile compared with the heat in other localities during the hot wave that seems to have passed over the south west. At Casa Grande the thermome- ter indicated IF to l2l degrees in the shade; at Glla Bend 1t went to l22 de- grees at Mohave 124 degrees. Travel CTS on the Colorado desert assert that at Salton Cal. the mercury vent mp 10 l82 degrees ia the shade, and l68 de- grees in the snn. All this is "cold" comfort for Tucsonites and Phenicians who kick at the moderate temperature of 100 to llo degrees.
 Old settlers predict cooler weather for tue balance of the summer, the heat having spent it's force during the past fortnight.
 Readers of the Citizen and Star, of Tucson, must have noticed the improve ment in those papers. They are de- cidedly more newsy now. The Enter prise, formerly of Florence, now pub lished in Tucson, maintains it's posi- ton as the leading territorial weekly, under the able management of Geo. w. Brown, our newly appointed adjutant general. The writer likes to make little allusions to these papers, which, like those of PhGnix play such an important part in the building up and general progress of our territory. To the gen tlemanly and affable Mrs. A. H. Elliott, city editor of the Citizen, l am indebted for valuable information.
 The chief topic of conversation is the coming presidential election. Though the 20, 900 Arizonans can take no part in this presidential contest, yet great deal of interest is being taken in the result. Bets are freely made on both sides on the general result without odds.
 Another important subject of discus sion is who shall represent the State of Arizona !n the senate and house of representatives The gentle Arizona Zephyr waits the names of a goodly number of excellent men, all of whom would represent our territory with honor and credit. These are o. T. Rouse, W. H. Barnes, l.. c. Hughes, Herbert Brown, Charles Drake, George w. Brown, Thomas F. Wilson and Judge Wright, all of Tucson; Judge J. s. Kib- bey, Peter Brady, Judge R. E. Sloan and A. J. Doran, of Florence; Judge H. c. Gooding, A. c. Baker, Joseph Camp bell, Webster Street, II. N. Alexander, Frank Cox and John o. Dunbar, of Phoenix; while a gentle, whispering zephyr from Tombstone sings the praises of George w. Cheney and the immortal Mark Smith.
 Surely from this long array of honor able and talented gentlemen, Arizona state cannot fail to find able candidates that will represent her most creditably in congress.
