 Lower, but comfortable, seasonsble l temperatures arc reported by cores pondents in all sections. A killing frost is reported to have occurred in She vicinity of Flagstsff on the 18th and lighter deposits were observed on other dates. Correspondents in Navajo county say the nights have been cool enough for frost but es B cloudy sky has prevailed none have occurred. In the great valleys of the Gils and SalS rivers and throughous She central and south ern portions of the Territory the change from summer heat to pleasant autumn temperatures has been equally marked, the maximum temperature ranging from 85 to 95 degrees and the minimum or night temperature from 58 to 73 de- grees.
 Scattering showers have continued in all sections and at 8 few places heavy rains have fallen.
 With the exception of few localities on the higher levels, field crops ss 8 rule, are either entirely taken care of or are advanced beyond the stage where they csn be bsnefesed OF materially injured by temperature, rain or lack of rain. One of the excepted localities is the agricultural district of the Little Colorado and It's tributaries n the southern parts of Apache and Navsjo counties There threshiug has been delayed and corn cutting and fruit drying has been iuterferred with dur ing the past ten days by the frequent rains, There, also, some late corn and 1 potatoes are not matured and apples | and late peaches are yet on the trees. | Corn cutting is being pushed as rapidly l as possible and the crop Is reported as being very heavy.
 The potato crop in Coconino county is said to be light on account of the early and frequent frosts.
 On the San Simon plains in Graham county the season hss been prosper oue one for the farmers. The crops of the varied products of this semi-valley, semi mesa, bsve been generally good in quantity and quality and with few ex- oeptions have been harvested in good condition and disposed of at good prices pr are available to be turned into cash at any time. The newspapers, how sver, publish accounts of great destruc- sicn on farms contiguous to the Gile river in the eastern part of Graham county, saying: "Some valuBbls farms were ruined entirely, while on others lhs growing crops were swept away, also 1undreos of sacks,of grain iuet thresh- sd, tons upon tons of baled and stacked lay and countless nun bers of COWS, pigs, chickens, etc. Ia some instances houses were quite badly damaged, but Or all this there will probably be no yFeat suffering amopg.those damaged"
