expresses his favorable opinion of this
region as a winter resort in letter to
President Sheldon OF the Rio Verde Canal
Company. In his letter Mr. Malcolm says
Much has been said about the climate
and health OF the Salt River valley. But
| have seen no opinion as to the advan-
tages as compared with other favored re-
sorts.
Having spsnt several winters in Colo
RADIO. three in California, one in
Florida and Cuba, one in Texas. parts of
three in Phoenix, part of one winter in
brownsville, Ca, and New Orleans. and
one winter on the Riviera in the south of
France and Italy. my Judgment without
bias is strongly in favor OF this valley as
a winter resort. having a climate surpass-
ing each of those named.
The reasons for the conclusion regard
ing. the Salt River valley might, if given
in full, take too much space. But the
main reasons shortly stated, and which
appeal to even a casual observer as well
founded, are the favorable conditions of
temperature and humidity existing here
as in none of the other localities named.
For instance, on the Riviera there are
not half so many sunny days; there is
more humidity and consequently the air
has more chill in it than there is here.
1t rains great deal on the Mediterranean
coast and the dampness is sometimes
very trying. If this valley was supplied
as the Riviera is with delightful hotels
and pensions for sojourners, the tide Of
seekers for a winter climate par excellence

THEY BUILDED WELL

The Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoneix is
novelty in the way of railroad build
ing. Without other subsidy than that
secured by territorial tax exemption for
a term of years, through mountainous
country at great cost, the road has been
pushed. The work in its original incep-
ton is now complete. Phoenix and the
rich Salt River valley are reached, and
connection is established between the
northern and southern portions of Ari-
iona and between the two great trunk
line RAILWAYS of the West.
The project is one that has long been
an admirable one. In 1879 the route now
traversed by the Santa Fe, Prescott and
Phoenix was surveyed by Samuel A.
Henszey, of Philadelphia, who sought to
connect the rich mineral region. of
Yavapai county with the Southern
Pacific at what is now known a Heaton
Station, twenty-eight miles from Phoenix.
Others also looked into the attractive
proposition, but it was not until 1889 that
capital was actually invested in the en-
terprise.
Diamond joe Reynolds of St. Louis
had been interested through the efforts
of Frank Murphy, of Prescott in the rich
Congress mine. He saw the necessity
existing for the railway for the transpor-
tation to Ash Fork of the freight of his
own mine, if nothing more.
The proposition was warmly received
by the people of both Northern and Cen
trail Arizona, and the county of Mari
copia substantially showed appreciation
by voting a subsidy of $4,000 a mile.
This subsidy, approved by Congress. was
vetoed by President Harrison, so in its
stead the succeed ig Legislature passed
an act giving the road tax exemption
for twenty years.
Diamond Joe" died, but despite the
lowering financial clouds. other capital
was, through President Murphy's efforts,
brought in and the stockholders buying
their own bonds and paying their own
way, the road was brought to a success

that great road still traversed extensively.
The new railroad has connected us with
Chicago and Detroit two of the most
beautiful cities of the Union. May it
continue southwark to the Gulf and west
ward to San Diego. To all the newcomers
he wished health and prosperity from
their Arizona experience.
n. X. Fairbank, from the rear of his
sleeper, responded, adopting the senti-
ments OF Colonel Fitch, and declared that
his party had found Arizona progressive,
but too widely separated. They had tried
to bring the north and south closer to-
gether. He was glad to see the crowds
gathered to welcome them. 1t augured
favorably of the crowds that would want
to travel over the new road. The speaker
had heard of the exceedingly low death
rate in Arizona, and was glad of it. At
the same time he desired to intimate that
those who built the road were not here
altogether for their health.
This closing sally pleased the people
as they slowly dispersed Many of the
visitors remained in their comfortable
chairs. Some went to the Commercial
and others found quarters with friends.
All of them explored the town during the
evening, some taking a fifteen-mile
drive in the country.

TUCSON AS A SANITARIUM

Tucson is the second oldest city in the
United States. 1t was located and settled
by the early Christian fathers about the
same time that st. Augustine, Florida,
was settled. All of the surroundings, the
pure atmosphere the altitude, the agri-
cultural and mineral resources no doubt
led the fathers to believe that this location
was a natural commercial point as well as
remarkable for its climate.
Altitude above sea level is 2403 feet.
The climate is dry and pleasant during
the entire year. During the months OF
June, July and August the average tenn
perature is about IS degrees, but there
IS so little humidity in the atmosphere
there is little or no inconvenience expert
enced. The heat is not oppressive, and
during these months it is much more
pleasant than in the Atlantic eaboard
cities. This pleasing semi-tropical at
mosphere is probably owing to the physi-
cal conditions which are prominent. The

Rita mountains form circle of high

The crowd became boisterous and the as

and it looked for a time as if serious
trouble might be expected. The audience
finally left the theater by side entrance.
