AN uxIsHABIrABIs DESERT

Is in truth the most productive land on the globe, and that there is water in abundance to bring every foot of it under cultivation, only waiting for the magic wand of capital to develop 1t. There is no water-storage scheme on the Pacific coast that has e-hali the natural advantages and so few engineer ing difficulties as the Butte reservoir. Here nature has built the abutments in eyer-liy- ing rock, and all that is left for man to do is to put in the headgate the bluffs which form the gorge being only separated by paltry 220 feet. country is drained through this narrow canyon 20 miles square, representing 40 eD square miles. or larger than Maine and Massachusetts combined. The rainfall is suf- Ecient to tli the reservoir twice year, and the land to be brought under cultivation if practically limitless. This may read like a fairy tale but it is every word true, and has been verified time and again.

Next to Maricopa it is the most fm- portant agricultural county in the Territory. It it traversed from cast to west by the Southern Pacific railroad, and a branch of the great Santa Fe system Is now approach ing from the north. The objective point of this road is connection with the Sonora road, Of the same system. The Southern Pacific is also building in this direction from Tempe, and it is confidently believed that work will not cease until the Deer Creek coal fields are reached and connection is made with another branch of that road run ming from Bowie to Globe and now complet- ed to Fort Thomas

 Tn fact, in q residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and they recovered. Their condition. however. was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that a registered temperature of 10 degrees is not as oppres- give is 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York: The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact, and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fulls 36 degrees. At nearly all times there IS pleasant breeze; the nights arc 1nyaflabiy cool in the summer, and outdoor labor IS IS performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast the warmest days. Very seldom does the thermometer get be- low the freezing point in winter, and in the gardens of Florence to-day are castor bean plants two years or more old,
 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 popular thing for one to say that he is mot here for his health, 1t is an undisputed fact that for all pulmonary ail- ments no climate on earth is equal to South ern Arizona andthere are numbers of active, industrious citizens, with but one lung, who came here years ago, expecting to live but a few weeks. But for all that, the wonderful Casa Grande valley is something better than a 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 and Ar izola is ct present, and with good reason considered one of the most desirable portions of this magnificent Southern Arl- 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 suffi- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land
 THE CASA CYANIDE VALLEY CANAL is forty-three miles in length and covers 50 000 acres of land, about 600 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and its capacity in- creased. A reservoir covering 1,6O0 acres having storage capacity of eight billion gal lons 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 a shortage of water curing a 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- petent engineers have examined and reported upon the scheme and pronounce it feasible.

 Gnlike the Salt river, the waters of the Siia are fresh and pure; the soil contains no iii1ai, is deep, rich gray ash, especially adapted to the growth of tue pranei s, ongse, of all kinds, which pay largely on the invest Eneut. It is also the natural home ot alfalfa, which grows in the most Eroilnc manner The grape does exceptionally well in this valley, and wine and raisin culture Is destsls- ed to become prominent industry. Citrus fruits have been cultivated to limited extent; there are number of orange trees in the neighAorhoed of Florence which bear their golden fruit each year without pro- teetion, and Q few date palm trees are also in full bearing. The season is from six weeks to two months earller than Southern Califor- mia, which gives fruit growers an appreciat- cd advantage in

All the agri- l cultural products of temperate and semi i tropic zones are easily grown here, the long 1 seasons giving a succession of crops that double or treble the productive value of the land.
 PRICES OF LAND.
 Improved lands, with government title and water right, can be bought for from so tc 1 $50 per acre, according to location and i'm | provemeuts. In the Immediate neigkbor- l hood and to the south of the Casa Grnndt ruins there are thousands of acres covered i with heavy growth of mesquite timber vel l open to settlement.

WHAT OF WAR.

A dark cloud broods the land and sea
of our planet around. The gaunt spirit
Of war; crimson beaked and black
winged, tracks through the ashes Of
ancient pyres and stirs the dust of for
gotten battlefelds, as eager-eyed it
waits and watches. There is stencil
Of carnage in the nostrils of the nations
and there is heard an avengeful cry OF
blood for the righting of wrongs Man
crowds his brother man too close, and
In an era Of plentitude there is scram-
BILE for mere sustenance. The yoke OF
existence works unequal and the necks
of the CALLED victims have become
tense in efforts to be free. Over-pro-
duction and unexampled SURPRISES fail
of ameIioration where concentration in
fmmoderately provisioning the few
pauperizes the many. The times are
thus out of joint, and human affairs
are strained into discord. There re-
mains no single nationality upon the
globe that is not apprehensive of war
no country that is entirely unprepared
for such readjusting event, which, in
consuming SURPRISES, human and ma
terial, would level down for the founda-
tons of a new superstructure. That
the only nation on the earth that is
founded on the idea of peace should be
the one which more imminently threat
ems to precipitate so widely an impend-
ing life and death struggle but en-
phasizes the axiom that Man proposes
but God disposes."
That a war which might involve half
the world hinges upon the incident OF
whether the ribs of a ship which was
destroyed in the Bay Of Havana were
blown inward or outward, few will
deny. If inward, the demand for rep
aration by indemnity need not neces-
sarily lead to a declaration Of war upon
the part of the United States. But war
once declared, whether by Spain or by
this government, would mean the in
dependence of Cuba. The responsibility
would be with Spain, the result with
the Ruler of Nations.
If, however, it shall appear that the
Spanish government is responsible in
any way for the blowing up of the
Maine, there will be no hesitation on
the part of the government Of the
United States about demanding salts
faction. Indemnity for the vessel and
for the lives of the victims Of the ex-
plosion will be demanded, and if it is
not paid war will probably be resorted
to- Furthermore, the United States will
be ready for war if it comes. Mean
time, however, the people should be
calm, discount the sensational newspa-
per reports by about 80 per cent, and
Iast content in the belief that there is
in the White House at Washington
president who may be depended upon
TO uphold the honor and integrity of the
United States.

REINDEER FOR THE YUKON

Canada has at least two schemes or
routes under consideration for reach
ing the KIondike by railroad. In the

gold fields on the Alaskan or American
side of the line promise to prove as val
liable as the Klondike. There is more
reliance to he put in American enter
prise than in English when il comes

ole regions or over the seemingly in
surmountable. But until a railway
can be built, other means Of transpor-
tation will have To be depended upon.

like gold fields viii be the means Of
bringing into the Yukon valley a fair
