Tucson and Phoenix. The first is near the sea level; is the warmest and probably the driest of the three, has the least population, and the smallest provision for visitors
 Tucson is the oldest town in the Territory, and, after Santa Fe, perhaps the oldest in the Southwest. Its adobe houses give it d Mexican look, and are thoroughly comfort able. It's newer houses are of handsome building stone, found in the vicinity The Territorial University is here, and it was formerly the capital. Its elevation being more than double that of Phoenix, it is somewhat cooler, and as there is next to no irrigation near it, the air is a little drier. Phoenix is the centre of the greatest irriga- tion in the Territory. The country for miles around smiles with green fields, cover- ed with almost countless herds of cattle, and it is everywhere shut in by low mount aims. It is the Territorial capital, has the Government Indian School, the Territorial Lunatie Asylum, and other institutions, and is the general focus for the Territory
 Like Tucson, it has it's occasional wind and sand storms perhaps not quite so often. At either place visitors who know how to adapt themselves te circumstances can be entirely comfortable, and in each they will find an intelligent, orderly, enterprising and most hospitable community. They will find country full of mines, full of rich agricultural lands, abounding in cattle and horses, in vineyards and orchards and the beginnings of very successful orange groves "a country, in fact, as full of promise for hardy and adventurous men now as Califor- nia was in theiffties. Above all, it has been their lot to search for health in far countries, they will revel in the luxury of being in their own land, among their own countrymen, within easy reach of their friends by telegraph or rail, and in climate as good of it's kind as any in the world.

WHY CAPITAL SHOULD SEEK YUMA COUNTY

WHY CAPITAL SHOULD SEEK YUMA COUNTY Because it's mines are the richest. Because it's grazing lands are the best.
 Because it's farming lands are valuable and productive.
 Because it gives assurance of the largest returns on money invested.
 Because its grand resources are yet to be developed.
 Because it is young, growing county with an assured future.
 Because the opportunities for engaging in manufacturing enterprises are better than in any other region of the West.
 Because good mining properties can be had at reasonable figures.
 Because there is demand for additional facilities for ore reduction.
 Because there are vast stretches of rich soil to be reclaimed by the construction of irrigating canals.
 Because there are large tracts of grass lands that can be utilized by the sinking ot artesian wells.
 Because there are many openings in a new country which cannot exist in older com munities.
 Because the opportunities for engaging in the successful cultivation of semi-tropic fruits are better than in any other part of the United States.
 Because property values are rapidly ad- vancing.
 Because Arizona's boom is yet to come.
 Because it is a virgin field, ready for the seed which will produce golden harvest.

acres, now preftless, can be made productive by the construction of irrgatng ditches and there is no investment which asstses larger or more permanent returns"
 The foregoing statements are not exaggerated; in fact they f. short of doing justice to this won derfui land Pineapples, dates, almoAds and wal nuts will do we'll Strawberries raspberries, black berries, entrants, gooseberries and all varieties of small fruits be successfully cultivated Indeed, Yuma County is not only the natural home of the citrus and semi-tropical Fruits, almost every fruit, nut, plant, grain, grass vegetable which eau be produced in either tropic temperate zone will thrive in it's rich and fertile soils.

ResOurces
 Of Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

A white nan first set foot on what is low Yuma County in l77l. It is the southwest division of the Territory, and one Of the four original counties of Che Ter Fitery. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years ex- pect to see Yuma Courty rated as the Sichest fA the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali. ornia catches of Arizona is that of the picturesque town of Yuma, which is snngly situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whose crests and sides the modern homes of our superior civilization are crowding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma fs the gateway to Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undeyeloped riches the eyes of the country are at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with a rapidity that at present can hardly be re- nlized. But coupled with her geographi' cal position we find that she is the center of country whose agricultural possibili- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting o1ly water to become paradise oi bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place and many enterprises arc on foot to supply the life-giving waters oi the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

rell called for two men to hold ms
wheel while he mounted II. The men
were forthcoming and Terrell got ms
pedals all fixed and his handle-bars
set just right, and he put one loot over
the handle This daring feat call
ed for more applause. The men be-
hind, who We're holding the wheel
strained every nerve lest the monster
should suddenly dart down the perpen-
dicular slope. Just then some o.Hei
fellow, who didn't appreciate the nor
rible awfulness of the situation. saii
maiesticalIy withdrew his foot from
the perilous position in which he had
placed it, and again MADE prieL
speech. He said in part:
IF youse fellers don't like DIS,
won't ride er tall-see?" and he picked
up his wheel and started aoMh liie
ladder toward the ground. Dudiey,
local bicycIist, who was one OF those
who held the wheel, tried to induce
Terrell to come back and make the
ride, Just to make the people swoon a
little bit anyhow. But Terrell was oo-
stinate, and he walked camiy down
| into the street and off to his mead
| quarters.
Dudley then came down and got the
wheel. and took it back to where the
board was. He got couple OF men
to hold it while he got on. ms Iea'
was so easily performed by Dudiey
that the applause was not half SC
great as when Terrell had put only
one foot over the handle-bars. Wher
Dudley got settled in the saddle. ht
said "let 'er co. and she went. WheI
he hit the bottom the crowd cangh'
him. and he was carried off by admir-
ing friends.
