 S9. What is the character of the population of southern Arizona? It is mostly eastern, representing true Amer ican enterprise, stability and refine ment.
 90. What are the social characteris- tics of the country? Identical with those of the older eastern states. the leading residents having come from there with their intelligence and energy.
 9l. What would most excite the sur prise of newcomer from the east !? Not the roughness of western life and manners, but the likeness of society here to that of the east.
 92. What inducements are offered 10 winter visitors? Hotels and board ing houses at reasonable rates, hunting, fishing, mountain clim ping, magnit cent scenery, beautiful drives, good theatres, hospitable and cultivated society, free dom from cold, snow and changeable weather.
 93. What inducements are offered 10 the invalid? The mild and equabe climate permits constant out-of-door life; bright sun-shiny days and immun- Ity from changeable weather give na- ture a chance to recuperate without medicines. Phoenix has many able physicians, however, who are at hand in acute cases.
 94. What railroad facilities are there? The Phoenix & Maricopa rail road connects with the Southern Paci- fic railroad system at Maricopa Junc- ton, point on the main line of the Southern Pacific railroad, which is thirty-five miles southeast from Phe- nix. The Atchison, Topeka X Santa Fe railroad system are now building from Ash Fork, a point ou the Atlantic & Pacific railroad (part of the Santa Fe system,) via Prescott, in northern Ari- zona, to Phoenix. Reliable information authorizes the statement that this road will be completed to Prescott by Feb ruarv, 1893 q ,000 men are at work J and reach Phoenix during October Dext. The completion of this road will give Phoenix competitive rates by two trans continental lines, and cheapen building material by shipping in lumber from the immense pine forests of northern Ari- zopa.
 95. Give the names of newspapers published in Phoenix. Daily Herald, Daily Gazette, Daily REPUBLICAN, The Independent (weekly.)
 96. Give the names of the banks of Phoenix. The Valley Bank, the Phoenix National Bank, the National Bank of Arizona. the Hartford Banking Co.,, The Maricopa Loan X Trust Co.,, the Western Investment Bank, The Phoenix Loan X Trust Co.,, Home Savings Bank of Phoenix.

ICELAND A DESERT.
Interior of the Country Rowling Vast
 of sand and Ice.

Interior of the Country a Towing Waste
 of sand and Ice.
 Iceland is little better than desert. The peculiar con6guration renders in- tercourse difficult, and, along with the >barrenness of the soil, makes the con ditions of existence strangely hard. People with so little to make life at tractive might be pardoned if they were to sink into a stolid indifference to everything but the struggle to keep alive, says the Atlantic.
 The size of Iceland is greater than that of Ireland, and the population numbers seventy thousand souls; but the only inhabitable portion is a mar row strip of pasture land extending like green girdle round the coast and up the deep, narrow fiords. The in- terior of the country is bowling waste of sand and ice, traversed by darting glacial rivers and utterly incapable of supporting more than few scattered inhabitants. Grass is the only consid- erable crop. The hills and valleys are treeless and afford at best but scanty pasturage for horses, cows and sheep. Roads and bridges scarcely exist.
 A Danish merchant at Reykjavik has a wheeled carriage, but in the interior such conveyance is unknown and would be useless if known. The backs of horses are the only means of trans portation across country. Small boats carry travellers over dangerous rivers, while the horses swim on ahead Hard ly anything that ministers to comfort, to say nothing of luxury, is produced in Iceland. Every nail in an Icelandic house, every pane of glass, every bit of wooden flooring, every insignificant bit of furniture, has to be transported laboriously from one of the seaports to its destination.
 That the Icelanders are poor goes without saying. There is little or no home market, for every Icelander has the same products to sell as his neigh Dor. The circulation of money is, therefore, very small. If farmer has direct dealings with the agents for foreign markets, and is sufficiently prosperous to have little surplus each year, he may handle little money, but in general the trading at the seaports is literally trading. An Icelauder bar ters a certain number of horses or sheep or rolls of dried fish or bales of hay for a supply of groceries and other neces- saries of life.

ABOUT ARIZONA.

So many inquiries are daily being made by persons anx,ous for imiorma tion concerning the Salt River valley and the territory of Arizona that the chamber of commerce has prepared and published the following list of questions sud answers. Any information not contained herein will be cheerfully furnished by addressing, Bruce Perley, secretary of the chamber o. commerce, Phoenix, Ariz.
Arizona republican., 1893-03-22

 2. .,How large is the Salt River val Icy? The valley proper is some fifty miles in length and averages fifteen miles in width, containing 75O square miles, aggregating 480. 900 acres of irri- gable land, surrounded on all sides by the foothills of adjacent mountain ranges.
 8. How does this section compare with other parts of the territory? The territory of Arizona is of a generally mountainous character very rich in mines. timber, and live stock, while the Salt River valley is devoted to agricul- ture, horticulture and live stock ex- clusively.
 4. What is the climate? The terri tory being some SS0 miles in length, north and south, and the altitude of the northern portion being from 6,000 to 1000 feet, while that of the Salt River valley is but 1,050 feet the ter ritory presents great variety of cli- mate. The climate of the Salt River valley is semi tropical, with little frost, no snow, and moderate rain Tn the winter.
 5. How low does the thermometer go in winter? Very rarely below freezing point, 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Syrup"

Here is an incident from the South
mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. " l am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. AT the beginning of last
Winter was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where I got we'll
drenched in a shower of rain. l
went home and was soon after seized
with dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief consulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to geta bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and 1 caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled Tie to do something. l
got two bottles of German Syrup. l
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me SO long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since"

Some Of them did not hesitate TO speak
their minds pretty openly, and there
were several unpleasant scenes by the
well under the old lime tree. This pub
hcity brought some Of the young men to
book. and some of the others, recognize
ing from Marie's attitude that their hope
was but small, gave up the chase and
betook themselves to solitary wander
ings in the forest and carving initials on
the trees-such of them as could write
and such despairing devices in the way
Of hearts transfxed with arrows as their
maginations could evolve.
Robert did not lose any time in hav-
ing the date of the marriage fixed. 1.-THE
girl was willing" he said, 1.-THE mother
was satisfied, and the father did not OBJ
ject; therefore what was the necessity for
delayT For reasons Of his own, on which
he did not choose to enbghten them,
Robert did not want any formality about
the marriage which could be avoided.
He told Beaumont that he did not trust
lawyers, a speech which pleased the old
man, who did not trust any one, and quite
won his heart by saying when they came
to discuss the betrothal:
81 do not know whether Marie is to
expect any dot from you. and do not
care. am quite content that you will
do what is best for her. want nothing
except to be allowed to live here with
you, my dear father and mother, so that
l need not take Marie away from the
home where she has been so happy"
This Of course made everything
smooth for all parties, and not the least
for Robert himself, who thus escaped
any dealings whatever with public Off
Gals, whom he Stunned, and won COM
pletely to his side the old farmer, who
found indeed that he had not lost
daughter. but gained son."
The wedding was a great occasion in
the village. The Oldest inhabitant could
not remember such doings, not even
when the browning of Louis XIV filled
the whole of France with such rejoicing
that people were found who believed
that there would never DO hunger any
more.
But there are always people to be
found who will believe anything

agonizing fear came to all that perhaps
the stranger might, after all, change his
mind and not condescend to visit 30
humble place.
More and more anxious grew the little
crowd which still keptswelling up as the
new arrivals joined. The stranger in an
unconscious way hummed a tune as
though he saw no one. Then he stop
ped little, looked around and strolled
on again. The villagers admired in
silence and with gathering awe. The rev.
olution was not so far behind but men
still remembered the tradition of the

see any one, came actually within the

The crowd was silent. No one ven-

her low bow, saying as he did so, with
