should be substituted for the handshake,
but 1t would be quite az admissible to

II came about one day, during the
bIoaching of a bill, that Mr.. Goodwin
disputed an item Of $50. In doing SO he
was morally certain that the indebted
ness was not his. Mine host was equal
ly sure on his side Of the contrary.
The dispute waxed hot and heavy.
'See here" said Goodwin, ~ dont

President William Garland of the Gila Valley, Globe & Northern railway was in Geronimo one day last week. He has nothing to say in addition to what has been said often before con- corning when work will begin on the comple ton of his line to Globe. If the right of way was adjusted with the Indians work would soon begin. Mir. Garland is now interesting himself in a matter which, if carried through, will add very materially to the trade and prosperity of this valley, especially the lower end of it. He has about de- cided to undertake the building of a wagon road from Geronimo to Aravaipa canyon, in anticipation of the active working of the several valuable mining propositions now being deyeloped.- TSolomonville Bulletin.

A Good Work Done Gratis.
From the Graham County Bulletin.

From the Graham County Bulietin.l
 The outery made against the law creating the board of immigration commissioners in Arizona, to be com posed of one member from each county, discouraged system of advertising this territory and the several counties which could not have failed in it's good results. The particular objection raised against the law lay in the fact that Governor Hughes had fovored the bill and appointed g newspaper man in each county as commissioner.
 The cry went up from political pu- ritans that tue board of immigration commissioners had been created to defend the Hughes administration and each editor commissioner was to be- come servile ruppet to guard the political interest of Louis the II. Re- suits cave shown the absurdity of such objection, no matter what the objects of Hughes might have been. The ob- jection was islander on the independ- ent spirit of Arizona journalism; there was no exception; each commissioner was to become fawning, political liclxspittle.
 Notwithstanding the immigration commissioners appointed under this law have been denied any compensa- tion whatever and with no money to pay for the publication of information concerning their respective counties which would have done great good, and with not even money to pay letter postage, they accomplished more real good in making known, through the annual reports of Governors Hughes and Franklin, to the outside world the conditions and resources of Arizona, than all former efforts to induce immi- grafton to this territory. The old law under which the territory had one immigration commissioner at a salary of $2500 year was objectionable be- cause only the advantages of Phenix and Tucson were enlarged upon. In re- ports sent cut under the new law the entire territory has been covered and the information gathered has been promulgated officially through the governors office.
 Now that the law is dead it is but just that the commissioners in the several counties should be given credit for the work they have done gratu- itously for Arizona.

zona. Great changes have been made in the appearance of this part of the valley during the last four yenrs. It was about that long ago that the Florence canal was completed and the work of actual improvement begun. It is useless to deny that under our present water system there is nothing like a sufi- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land
 THE CASA GEASDE VALLEY CANAL is forty-three miles in length and covers 0000 acres of land, about 7,009 of which are under cultivation. 1t is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and it's capacity iil- creased. A rescreor covering 1,6G0 acrcs having storage capacity of eight billion gal Ions In the southeast corner of township g. range 8, gives ample supply of water the year round to ell farmers located below it. but those above suffer by shortage of water dttring Q few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con- strnction of hugo reservoir at the Buttes, fifteen miles northeast of Florence. Com petcnt engineers have examined and reported upon the scheme and pronounce 1t feasible.

sUSsTRoKE IS UNKEowa

In fact in a residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat and they recovered. Their condition, however. was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that a registered temperature of no degrees is not as oppres- give as 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact, and reports the difference between tho apparent and sensible temperature to be fulIs 90 degrees. At nearly all times there ia a pleasant breeze; the nights are invariably cool in the summer, and outdoor labor is performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast on the warmest days. Very seldom does the thermometer get be- low the freezing point in winter, and in the gardens of Florence to-day are castor bean plants two years or more old,

 While it is popular thing for one to say that he is mot here for his health, it is an undisputed fact that for all pulmonary ail- rnents no climate on earth is equal to South- eru Arizona, and there are numbers of active industrious citizens, with but one lung, who came here years ago, expecting to live but a flaw weeks. But for all that, the wonderful Casa Grando valley is something better than a health resort.
 That portion of the great Casa Grande valley lying along the line of the Southern Pacific railway in the vicinity of Casa Grande and Ar rizola is at present, and with good reason considered one of the most desirabel portions of this magnificent Southern Ari-
