THE CASA onANDE VALLEY CANAL

Is forty-three miles in length and covers SC, GOO acres of land, about 1000 of which are under cultivation. 1t is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and it's capacity in- creased. A reservoir covering 1,6OO acres, having storage capacity of eight billion gal Ions, in the southeast corner of township b, range 8, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below it, but those above suffer by shortage of water during few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con- struction of huge reservoir at the Buttes, fifteen miles northeast of Florence. Com potent engineers have examined and reported upon the scheme and pronounce it feasible.

UNTOUCHED BY FROST.

Orange and lemon trees require slight pro- tection during the winter for year or two, until the wood is sufficiently hardened.
 While it is a popular thing for one to say that he is mot here for his health" it Is an undisputed fact that for all pulmonary ail- mcnts no climate on earth is equal to South- ern Arizona, and there are numbers of active, industrious citizens, with but one lung, who came here years ago, expecting to live but Q few weeks. But for all that, the wonderful Casa Grande valley Is something better than q 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 ard Arizola Is at present, and with good reason considered one of the most desirable portions of this magnificent Southern Ari- zona. Great changes have been made in the appearance of this part of the valley during the last four years. 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 sufti- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land

a little over an hour having been consumed
| in tie forIpalities of securing the sigma
lures OF Spekaer Reed and Vice President
Hobart to the resolution In open session
and its delivery at the White House.
| II was expected that the resolution would
be signed Immediately after it reached tho
president and this was his intention, but
for certain state reasons it was deemed ad-
yisable that the resolution and ultimatum
lsss SPAIN should be signed simultaneously
and time was needed to draft the ut-
matum in diplomatic form. The fact that
THO resolution was not Immediately signed
gave rise to few dsquieting reports. but
It soon appeared from statements OF cab
inc, officers that the president he'd not the
slightest intention Of withholding his sig
nature and the delay in attaching IL was
accounted for solely by his desire 10 have
a full and complete plan of operations Tor
the government Of the executive in the i'm
mediate future before taking the fual and
important step of turning the joint rasolu-
ton p.o statute.
Just what this plan shall be was the oc-
casion for the two cabinet meetings today.
The first session, in anticipation of the re-
ception was devoted largely to questions OF
finance and military policy as well as to
the framing Of the utimatum itself So far
as can be gathered the important point at
issue in regard to the ultimatum was the
question OF time to be allowed for rer
Spouse on the part OF Spain.
The. naval and army preparations In
dieated the contemplation on the part of
the administration that peaceful solution
OF the diffirulties Ia not probable. AS to
the course OF events In the immediate fu-
ture the only prediction that can lie made
is one based on prccedents, According to
these Minister wocdford win notify the
Spanish government Of the action
of the government Of the UniIed States
and should the Spanish answer be unsatis-
factory rs Is expected, the next step IN
order viii be for him to ask for his pass
ports and leave Madrid. That would be fol-
lowed instantly by the withdrawal from
washington OF Senior Polo, the Spanish
minister. At this poil., It can be said that
the state department officials arc eonfid.nt
that the Spanish government viii 20 shape
