io,ao1 and Phoenix. The first is near the sea level; is the warrnest and probably the lriest 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 a Mexican look, and are thoroughly comfort able, It's newer houses are of a 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 1t, the air is little drier. Phoenix is the centre of the greatest irriga- tion in the Territory. The country for miles around smiles with green fells, cover ed with almost countless herds of cattl:, and it is everywhere shut in by low mount aims. It is the Territorial capital, has the Government Indian School, the Territorial Lunatie Asylum, end other institutions, and IS the general focus for the Territory. Like Tucson, it has its occasional wind and sand stOrms-perhaps not quite so often.
 At either place visitors who know how to adapt themselves to 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 horees, 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-i mia was in the:ffties. Above all, it has been their lot to search for health in far countries, they will reve1 fin 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 its kind as any in the world.

Resources
 of A Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

4 white man first set foot on what is 'aow Yrma County in I'll. It IS the Southwest division of the Territory, and -0ne of the four original counties of the Ter ritcry. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years ex- 'pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia catches of Arizona is that of the picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugly 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. Yun,a'is the gateway to Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undeveloped riches the eyes of the country are at present turned, and as such, sse'is bound to grow and prosper with rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographi-, cal position we find that she is the center c of country whose agricultural possibili- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by a soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting oaly water to become aparadise of bloom. Billions of gallons Of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already'a reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters of the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

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 it's 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 a demand for additional facilities for ore reduction.
 Because there are vast stretches of rich soil to De 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 con- munities.
 Because the opportunities for engaging in the successful cultivation of semi7tropic fruits are better than in any other part of the United States
 Because property values are rapidly ad- vancing.
 Because Arizonas boom is yet to come.
 Because t is virgin field, ready for the seed which will produce golden harvest.

RIVER AT MEMPHIS FALLING.
But Only Because of Breaks in the Levee.
Little Hope for the Sufferers.

Memphis, Tenn, March 22.-Last
night for the first time in many weeks
the mississippi river was reported fall
ing here. the guage reading 81 feet,
against 81 at Z o'clock in the morning,
Several breaks in the levee are known
TO have occurred between Osceola. Ark,
ard Memphis, and the fall Of the river
here is attributed to these crevasses.
The break at Sans Souci is widening,
and the mad rush of the waters through
the opening can be heard fer miles.
Three additional breaks, all near Sans
souoi. are reported, and the suffering of
the people in eastern Arkansas will
surely be greatly intensified
The condition of the levee south of
Memphis is about the same as on Satur-
day. A dispatch from Vicksburg saws
that the reported crevasse at Modoc,
Ark, near Helena, is confirmed by Off
GERS of the steamer State of Kansas.
and by dispatches received at Vicks-
burg. The levee at Modoc has been
considered in a hopeless condition for
several days. The water will run into
White river very fast. and will find its
way back into the Mississippi in a day
or two. Ievee men say the effect will
he merely temporary, but decline is
reported of from one to four inches
along the Coahomi county, Miss, levee,
where the struggle against the high
water has been most desperate.
The officers Of the Kansas say that the
scenes along the shores of the big river
from Memphis south everywhere show
the general anxiety. Lights are shining
