At either place visitors who know how to adapt themselves to circumstances can he entirely comfortable, and in each they will find an intelligent, orderly, enterprisine and most hospitable community. They will find a 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- mia was in the:ffties. Above all, it has beer 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 its kind as any in the world.

Is IT A LAWLESS COUNTRY?

The man who goes to any considerable Arizona town with the idea of the South west derived from novels, or from ''The Arizona Kicker, will be greatly mystifed. He will lind as many churches as in towns of corresponding size in Pennsylvania pr Ohio; and probably more schoolhCuses. He will find plenty of liquor-shops. too, and gambling houses, and dancehouses, and yet he will see little disorder unless he hunts late at night for it, and he will be apt to iind-as at Phoenix-a community of ten thousand people requiring ill the daytime oil / one policeman, and hardly requiring him. During my winter there I did not see single disturbance in the streets. or half a dozen drunken men, all told. Min. ing men and an occasional COW boy certainly had quarrels, sometimes, in the disorderly quarters at night; and there were stories ot the use of the knife among Mexicans: but the visitor who went about his own business had as little trouble as on Board. way or Chestnut street. The Pima and Maricopa Indians. who are encountered everywhere. have been friendly with the whites for generations, and there isn't an Apache within some hundreds of miles.

A white nan first set foot on what is now Yuma County in I'll. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter ritory. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in a few years ex- Tect to see Ylma Uourty rated as the richest ;n 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 aills, upon whose crests and sides the modern homes of our superior civilization are crowding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma 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,
 is bound to grow and prosper with a rapidity that at present can hardly be re alized. But coupled with her geographi- enl position we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural possibii- 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 paradise 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 aad many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters of She yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

Its Attractions and Advantages as a

IIaCe GE Residence in Winter.
 WLitolaw Reid. owner and editor of the New York Tribune, who has spent the last two winters in As.zona for the benefit of his health, writes cntertainingIy and in structiveIy concerning that rart of the country. Mr. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as place for winter residence. and there appears to be such a dcarth of pre- else information among many who are vitally interested, that it seems almost q public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER.
 Daring a five months residence in Southern Arizona in winter there was but one day when the weather made it actually unpleasant for me to take exercise in the open air at some time or other during the day. Of course there were good many days which weather observer would de- scribe as "cIoudy," and some that were "shoTcry; but during these five months llrom No cmbcr. 1895, to May, I895l there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time .. ing the day.

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.

She yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.
 RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.
 In regard to climate, healthfulness, fer sility and productiveness of soil, facilities for cultivation, irrigation and abundance of water supply, variety of resources and cheap transportation by rail and by water, no part of Arizona can surpasS Yuma county, which is destined to become one of richest and most prosperops counties in Arizona.
 It lies between 327 O0' and 34' 20 north latitude and ll3o 20' and lI4' 40' west longitude. It contains LASS, ,320 acres. It isabout as large as the States of Rhode Island, Connecticut and Delaware com bi,ed, or as large as either New Hampshire, Vermont or Massachusetts.
 The western boundary of Yuma County is formed by the Colorado river, which separates Arizona from California. The county is bounded on the north by Williams Fork and the Santa Maria rIver, whose waters flow into the Colorado; on the east by the counties of Pima, Maricopa and Yavapai, and on the south by Sonora, Mexico. Its county seat is the town of Yuma
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter ritory Of Arizona, and every drop Of water which falls on its mountains and plains dnds its way to this mighty river. It is formed by the union of the Green and Grand rivers, fed by the streams which rise in the Rocky Mountains, and the melt ing snoWs cause greater depth of water iu this riy 1T m summer than In winter, thus furnishing the most water at the season when it IS most required for the purposes firrigation and agriculture.
 It will be seen that for the entire distance long its western boundary, Yuma County poss, ses the great advantage of cheap water transportation.
 The Gila river rises Ill the western part of New Mexico and is fed by numerous streams, among the most prominent of which arc the San Pedro, Agua Fria, Has sayampa and Salt rivers. It flows west through Yuma County and empties into the Colorado at the town of Ynma. Yuma county, traveIaed jy these great rivers from its northern to its southern, and from its eastern to its western bound aries, possesses far greater water supply thau any other county in the Territory. and far more than can be found in all Cali scruia
 This water is now being diverted from its natural channels by means of numerous laigc irrigaling canals, and utilized for the purpose cf retaining and i'rigating the !. immense tracts of lands which lie in this favored country, and which ale as fertile . as any in the world.
 The Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the ] Colorado river at the town of Yuma and . runs through the county, following the . uencrol course, and at an average distance . of about four miles south, Of tho Gila river, rendering all the lands susceptible of irri- gation and cultivation, can tind an easy outlet in this way and can be transpol ted oau the naIk kcts and cantcrs of population ;h the East or West.
 AnojLcr competing railroad is projected sfom San Diego, California, to tic town of Yuma, ard thence along the north side of the Gila river. Thus Yuma County will nave exceptional railroad advantages.

AIR

The atmosphere is singularly clear, tonic and dry. I have never seen it clearer anyw here in the world. It seems to have about the same bracing and exhilaratiDg qualities as the air of the Great Sahara in Northern Africa, or of the deserts about Mount Sinai, in Arabia Petraca. It is much drier than Tn the parts of Morocco, Algiers or Tunis usually visited, and drer than any part of the Valley of the Nile north of the First Cataract. It seems to me about the same in quality as the air on the Nile between Assouan and Wady- Ialfa, but somewhat cooler.

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de yelopment There can't be doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last. There is every promise of day of great pros perity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of a new and ener- eizing hope is visible everywhere among her people. while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small inn pression as they transpired singly, is now commanding for her full share of atten- tion and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a-begging for ownership, There is a scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this. The rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among the money lenders than this.
 Arizona has reached that cimaoticer period which every western state has ex- perienced sometime in its history when, after long and weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and then down, the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurst of energiziug hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeavor than before.
 For the last twelve years the subsistence of the great Tombstone boom and the com- pletiOn of two transcontinental lines of railroad across her territory-Arizona has rather dropped out of public attention, but in that time she has been quietly ac- cumulatiDg fund of substantial wealth and force of moral character which qualify her now to rise up and take her destiny in her own hands.
 The population of Arizona is Mexican. This is a mistake of great importance fro,A the moral point of view. There is but one considerable center of Mexican population in the territory, the city of Tucson, and even there 1t is not by any means at pres ent the predOminating element It think 1t is certain that Arizona has not to-day nearly so large a Mexican population as Colorado and not above one-tenth as much as New Mexico. r"Fitz. Mac," in Denver News.

ACTUAL HUMIDITY.

This is extremely slight, everywhere in Arizona, as compared with any eastern climate in the United States. The air is driest on the high mesas, remote from snowclad mountains or forests, and in the desert valleys, where no considerable irri gation has been begun. Wherever irriga- tion is carried on on large scale, the percentage of humidity in the atmosphere must be somewhat increased, although to an eastern visitor it is scarcely perceptible. The same Government observations al ready cited show relative humidity. at Phoenix or Tucson, averaged for weeks. from morning and evening readings, at less than half the usual humidity on dry days in New York. General Greedy, in a pub lication from the Weather Bureau, gave the normal weight of aqueous vapor in the Arizona air at from l 11a to 4 grains per cubic foot.

The same reports show the highest and lowest temperatures, averaged for eight years, at the same place, as follows: For November 7S1a degrees and 42 degrees, December 731a degrees and 3G1a degrees, January G51a degrees and 9 degrees, Feb ruary 7l1a degrees and 3514 de rces, March Sl 11a degrees and fl degrees and April S61l degrees and 4G degrees. The nights throughout the winter are apt to be cool enough for open wood fires, and for blankets. Half the time an overcoat is not needed during the day, but it is never prudent for a stranger to be without one at hand.
