The Arizona sentinel., 1896-12-12

AnU hVCdOO AuAAHS IiO petJ OuO AO 10 AAN'SA prudent for stranger to be without one at hand.
 The atmosphere is singularly clear, tonic and dry. 1 have never seen it clearer anywher in the world. It seems to have about the same bracing and exhilarating qualities as the air of the Great Sahara in Northern Africa, OF of the deserts about Mount Sinai. in Arabia Petraea. It is much drier than Tn the parts of Morocco, Algiers CT Tunis usually visited, and drier than any part of the Valley of the Nile north of the First Cataract. It seems to mo about the same in quality as the air on the Nile between Assouan and Wady- Halfa, but somewhat cooler.
 ACTUAL HUMIDITY.
 This is extremely slight, everywhere in Arizona, as compared with any eastern climate in the United States. The air is driest on the high mesas, remote from snowclad mountains or forests, and in the desert valleys, where no considerable irri- gation has been begun. Wherever irrIga- tion is carried on on large scale, the percentage of humidity in the atmosphere must be somewhat increased, although to an eastern visitor it is scarcely perceptible. The same Government observations al ready cited show relative humidity, at Phoenix or Tucson, averaged for weeks, from morning and evening readings, at less than half the usual humidity on dry days in New York General Greedy, in pub lication from the Weather Bureau, gave the normal weight of aqueous vapor in the Arizona air at from l 1a to 4 grains per cubic foot.
 RAIN.
 Showers, and indeed heavy rains are liable to occur in every month of the year; but the actual number of rains seems to an eastern visitor strangely small. The average rainfall in Southern Arizona, as } shown by the Government observations, is but s 11a inches per year.
 ATTITUDES,
 It's striking advantage offered by Arizona that, with the same general con- ditions as to temperature and dryness of air, the physician is able to select nearly any altitude he may desire. Thus, asth- matic sufferers can find almost the sea level at Yuma, or an altitude of only a thousand feet at Phoenix, or of only 2,40O at Tucson. Others, who find no objection to greater elevations, can choose between Prescott or Fort Whipple, 5,4O0; Flag staff, 6, ,SO0,; the Sulphur Spring Valley, or Fort Grant, 4,209 Fort Ha2ohuca. 4.6O5, or Oracle, about A.

It's Attractions and Advantages as q
 Place of Residence in Winter.

Whitelaw Reid. owner and editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last two wlnt CTS in Arizona for the benefit ot his health, writes entertainingly and in structively concerning that part of the country. Mir. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari zona as a place for winter residence, and there appears to be such deartb of pre- else information among many who are vitally interested, that it seems almost q public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, few facts of personal observation.

DECEMBER WEATHER.

From the 2nd to the 4th of Decem-
ber there are reasons to expsct very
severe disturbances. The periods
will begin with warm wave start
ing in the far west, storms of rain,
snow and wind developing as the
low barometer and warm wave
move to the eastward. December
9th Mars equinox is central.
Venus is central on the 23rd and
Mercury on the 10Th, with winter
soisticc from about 9th to 18th.
From 9Th to 18th will prove one of
the periods that should be watched.
Be prepared for blizzards at this
time, and all December periods,
with intense cold foil owing in the
north, and more or less severe
soutlward. The 18th aud 18th will
bring renewed storm activity. The
10Th to 23d will be at the center of
the winter solstice, with regular
storm period greatly intensified by
Venus and Mercury. There will be
terrific winter storms, or phenome-
nal freaks of temperature and
earthquake. The 10Th to about the
30th will really be the crisis of all
the causes that bring extra pressure
on most of the month.

II occurs to us that the Republi-

them at least, are not doing the
state any good by heralding to the
world that dire calamity has come
to the people of this state because
the Popocrat party is in the saddle
aud will hold down the offices in
Kansas for the next two years. We
have a notion that there will be
jnst as good crops in Kansas for
the next two years as If the Reptlb-
licans were in power. The rain will
descend in just as copious showers
with Governor Leedy in the execu-
tive office as though Governor Nor
rill was holding down the job. And
il in the next two years we should
have drouth and short crops there
is not a Republican in the state
that will hold the populist party
responsible. There will in all
probability be as much human
happiness TO the square mile in
Kansas for the next two years as
there has been in the last two, or
would be If the Republicans had
u continued lease of power. People
will marry and be given in mar
riage Just the same as il the Re-
publicans were drawing the sala-
ries of Office. The grass will grow,
the sun will shine, the birds will
sing, and the old world will 60 on
with it's joys, it's sorrows, it's trials
and it's tribulations just the same
as though we had the management
of things at Topeka. 1t is true the
Populist party may undertake to
carry out some of the wild, vision
airy schemes il has been advocating
for some years past, but nov that
they are in full control we don't
look for any radical changes. Here
tofore the Populists have only been
in partial control of affairs, and
they made considerable bluster as
to what they would do if they had
full swing. Now that they have
full swing and will be held respon-
sible for vicious or unwise legisla-
tion, we anticipate that their bite
will not be near so disastrous as
as their bark. At any rate the press
can we'll afford to give these people
q chance to try their hand. Their
course heretofore has not been such
ne to inspire confidence, but no ben
eft can be derived by forestalling a
calamity which may not come after
all.-Columbus Courier Rep).

TO PREVENT HIGH CHECKING.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 17.-United
States District Judge C. G. Foster
announces that he will endow
society in Topeka for the prevention
of cruelty to animals, and has
called public meeting of all
friends of horses and other domes-
tic animals to be held in his court
room tomorrow afternoon.
Judge Foster particularly wants
to punish persons who use the
overcheck on driving horses. He
says: Hardly day passes but
some act of abusive treatment
of horses is seen on our streets, and
one of the most common is the
shameful overchecking. The bru-
tai fellow who beats his overladen
horse shocks our sense of humani-
ty, but what about the reputable
citizen whose horses are well fed
and groomed. and are seen on the
streets with their heads strained
back as far as the strength of the
coachman can pull them, and for
hours at time are kept in that
cruel position. swinging their
heads to the right aud left, trying
to rest their tired necks: If that in-
famous check could be put on the
neck of the man for fifteen minutes
it would cure him of that sin for
ever. 1t is my intention, as soon as
an organization can be had.to
make test case of this offense un-
der the act of the Legislature of
1889. Several years ago we organ
lied society, but the law at that
time was so defective that little
could be done. 1t can be said to
the credit of nine-tenths of the
people who own or drive horses
that they show good sense and
good hearts in the treatment of
their animals. The other tenth
should be educated up to il. l have
on several occasions demonstrated
in extreme cases with persons
abusing their horses, and have
been insulted and told to mind my
own business, and now il is time
that these violations of law and hu-
manity should be somebody's busi-
ness"

GONE TO WASHINGTON.

A. w. Abrams left yesterday
morning for Washington. d. c.
He was met at Kansas City last
night by Ex.Governor Samuel ].
Crawford, who goes to Washington
with him.
Messrs. Crawford and Abrams 60
to Washington TO try and straighten
out a tangle in Quapaw Indian af-
fairs. Agent Doane has had the
police notify renters in the Quapaw
reservation to get out in three days,
although their leases run for long
time yet. Many of the renters have
not got their corn gathered yet and
II would work a great hardship on
them to make them get out now.
And it would also work great
hardship on the Quapaws them
selves for their whole source of in
come is from the renters.
Agent Doane seems to be mis-
cradle failure. He has been in
trouble one way or another ever
since he has been in the saddle at
the Quapaw agency, and some very
serious charges are made against
him by parties interested in the
Quapaw reservation.
The Quapaws held council
meeting Thursday and unanimous.
ly protested against Agent Doane's
action in trying to drive the renters
out.
Messrs. Crawford and Abrams are
well posted on these matters and it
is confidently believed the tanglc
can be Strengthened out so that no
body will lose by IL.
