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 its farming lands are valuable and productive.
 Because 1t 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 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 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 virgin field, ready for the seed which will produce golden harvest.

Tucson and Phoenix. The first is near the sea level; is the warnest 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 a Mexican look, and are thoroughly comfort able. Its newer houses are of a handsome building stone, found in the vicinity. The Territorial University Is here, and it was formerly the capital. It's 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 ill the Territory. The COL n5ry for miles around smiles witt, 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 to circumstances can be entirely comfortable, and in each they " Il find an intelligent, orderly, enterpr;sing 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 the.6fties. 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 a climate asgood of its kind as any in the world.

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 viaitor strangely small. The average rainfall in Southern Arizona, as shown by the Government observations, is but S% inches per year.

MADE A GOOD RECORD.
The East Side Fire Company
Got in Their Graft Yes
terday,
iOOD STRONG PITCHING DID IT.
Devlin Was Too Much for the Nav
erick, as the Score Will Show.

Yesterday was the third game
played at Spring Lake Park be-
tween the two fire companies, and
it was the best game played Of the
series
Deylin was in the box for the
East Side, with Paul Celia behind
the bat and they made an excel
lent battery for the East Side.
The West Side changed pitchers,
but kept Chic behind the bat
The reporter arrived after the
firth inning, and the game then
stood to 2 in favor of the East
Side.
Some good fielding was done by
both sides, and we hope to be par
doned in stepping aside to mention
that Arl Hardin, away out in left
field, pulled down three beautiful
high balls as they were making over
the left field fence, He played a
good field game but did nothing at
the bat with Deylln's balls-but
then, he was not alone.
The East Side got the boys rat
tied by Deylln's hard pitching. and
then they had the game won easily,
when they found the boys weary Of
striking at the high speeded balls
thrown to them,
The small crowd remained until
the last and the announcement
that the East Side had won by a
score of II to2, brought forth a
round Of applause
VIII Celia made a good captain,
aud his red head could be seen on
neyery base while his men running
them, No amount of roofing could
hold him down.
Joe East has loud mouth, Is
witty and a good coaeber, but he
could not hold Celia down, Joe
was the West Side captain OF
eoacher
The fourth game advertised to be
played this afternoon will be post
poned until some future date,

after a half day travel the TeXar-

A CHEAP GIRL.

The Sunday Post Dispatch gave
an account Of a printer at Noun
tain Grove, Mo who is to dress as
a knight Of old and make a trip
around the world for an Arkansas
girl. The conditions from the girls
father are as follows:
The young man is to begin penni-
less, earn his horse, saddle and bril-
die, and make the trip around the
world in eighteen months, riding a
black horse fifteen hands high, and
take with him two dogs belonging
to the old man, If he gets back
safely in the time specified and has
with him the two dogs, then he is
to get the girl and $4,000, but if he
should lose the dogs, 81 900 for each
dog is to be deducted, The young
man has to atteud religious sery-
ces each Sunday and must get sig
nature and date from every post
master enroute; also signature Of
every governor, emperor Of ruler
whatsoever of all countries passed
through, He is also to wear mask
over the upper half of his face, the
same not to be removed until 8
o'clock p, M and he is to rise at 6
a, m and care for his horse and
feed his dogs The bold young
knight is confident that he can
make the rifle, but we believe that
Il we were in his position we would
take a cheaper girl
