ARIZONA.
Its Attractions and Advantages as
 Place of Residence ill Winter

Whitelaw Reid. owner and editor of the New York Tribune, " ho has spent the last two wint CTS in Arizona for the benefit of his health, writes entertainingly and in structively concerning that rart of the country. Mir. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as place for winter residence, and there appears to be such dearth of pre- else information among many who are vitally interested, that it seems almost S public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER.
 During a five months residence in one day when the weather made it actually unpleasant for me to take exercise in the open air at some time or other during tEe day. Of course there were a good many days which a weather observer would de- scribe as "cloudy," and some that were "showery; but during these five months (from No' ember, 1895, to May, lS96,) there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dur ing the day. Even more than Egypt, any, where north of Luxor, Arizona is the laud of sunshine. As to details:
 TEMPERATURE.
 l have seen the thermometer mark 92 degrees ir the ehade on my north piazza in March. On the other hand, we had frosts which killed young orange trees, and there were several nights when thin ice formed.

IS IT i PLACE FIT TO LIVE

This depends on what one expects in a huge, parsely settled Territory of mount aims and deserts. The man who looks for either the beauty or the seductive excite ment of Monte Carlo will not lind it. As little will he GEd the historic remains or the cosmopolitan attractions of Egypt; nor could he reasonable expect the amusements and luxuries of our own Eastern cities The people of Arizona are still chiefly busy in the pioneer work of subduing it to the residence and uses of civilized man. But it has two transcoutinental lines O: railway with numerous feeders; 1t has fast mails, and rival telegraph lines, and is throbbing with the intense life of the splendid West.
 The two principal towns in the south ern portion, chiefly sought fer their climatic advantages, are Phoenix and Tucson. Each of them has ten thousand inhabitants or more. They have the electric light, tele phones, trolley cars, plenty of hotels, banks, bookstores, good schools, churches, an occasional theatrical performance, some times lecture or a circus, often a horse race, and, in tie spring, thoroughly y curious and interesting "tiesta. For the cest, people must take their amusements with them. Good horses are abundant and cheap, and there arc plenty Of cow boys-the genuine article--to show what horses can do. The driving for fifteen or twenty miles in almost any direction from Phoenix, is nearly always easy. The roads are apt to be dusty; bat there IS one well. sprink!ed drive of six or eight miles; and since the winds are quite regular in their direction, it is rarely difficult to choose a route or which the dust will be largely carried away from you. The unbroken desert itself is often as easy to drive over as all Eastern highway, and the whole valley is paradise for bicyclers, or eques- trians.

ACTUAL HUMIDITY.

This is extren ely slight, everyw here 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 perccptible. The same Government observations all 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 pub- lication from the Weather Bureau, gave the normal weight of aqueous vapor in the Arizona air at from H to grains per cubic foot.
The Arizona sentinel., 1898-09-24

Showers, and indeed heavy rains are liable to occur in every month of the year; but the actual number of rains seens to all eastern visitor strangely small The average rainfall in Southern Arizona, as shown by the Government observations, Is but S1I inches per year.
