 Because Uncle Sam has yet many farms in Yuma county waiting for occupants
 Because churches, schools, newspapers and railroads are fast developing the mora and material clements of the Territory.
 Because good land is becoming scarce, ana if you don't catch on now, your last chance will soon be gone.
 Because the country is one of the few regions of the Uuitsd States that yields the products of the temperate and semi -tropit zones. Because the worker receives a fair com pensation for his labor, and the 'russler' ha, field for the display of his energy and en terprise. Because there arc neither btizzards ol tornadoes, earthquakes nor inundations snow-storlns nor cyclones. Because the vast and varied resources O the country are yet to be developed.

Its Attractions and Advantages as a
 Place of Residence in Winter.


 Whitelaw Reid. owner a,d editor of the New York Tribnne, ho has spent the last Iwo wint CTS in A,:zona for the benefit of his health, writes entertainingly and in structively concerning that part of the country. Mir. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- nona as place fer winter residence, and there appears to be such a dearth of pre- else information among many who are vitaIly interested, that it seems almost q public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, a few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER.
 During 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 day. Of course there were a good many days which weather observer would de scribe as "cloudy," and some that were ''shOYery; 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 mere than Egypt, any 1 where north of Luxor, Arizona is the laud of sunshine. As to details:
 TEMPERATURE.

On the other hand, we had frosts which killed young orange trees, and there were several nights when thin ice formed. 1 The government EsPorts show Q mean '; temperature for fourteen years at the pres ent territorial capital of 573 degrees in November, B degrees in December, 49 de ] grees in January, 54 degrees in February, Gl degrees Hi Maroh and 66 degrees 1T

This depends on what one experts in a huge, parscly settled Territory of mount aims and deserts The man who looks for either the beauty or the seductive excite neut of Monte Carlo will not End 1t. As little wlll he fCd the historic remains or the cosmopolitan attractions of Egypt; noy could he reasonable expect the amusements and luxuries of onr own Eastern cities. The people of Arizona are still chiefly busy in the pioneer work of subduing 1t to the residence and uses of civilized man. But it has two transcontinental lines of railw ay with numerous feeders; it 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 for their climatic advantages, are Phoenix and Tucson. Each of them has ten thousand inhabitants or mere. They have the electric light, tele- phones, trolley cars, plenty of hotels, banks, bookstores, good schools, churches. | db OCCs<StOIldl LutdJIIGlI kCI'Oi u'dhSOs SOHiO- times a lecture or s circus, often T fn'tfe race, and, in the spring, a thoru' l. curious and interesting ''Iiesta.'

The dri, ing for tifteeu or twenty miles ill almost any direction tron Phoenix, is nearly always easy. The roads are apt to be dusty; but there Is one well sprinkled drive of six or eight miles; and since the winds are quite regular in thei' direction. it is rarely difficult to choose d route or which the dust will be largely carried away fror you.

Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years ex- rect to see I ana County rated as the tichest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from all tor,;a catehes of Arizona is that of th' 6icturesaue town of Yuma, which Is snugN situated in the embrace of gentle rollln.

 is bound to grow and prosper with l" rapidity that at present can hardly be re sli.ed. But coupled with her geographl cal position we find that She IS the cen'e' ofa country whose agricultural possio'li- ties are practically unlimited, being sur ronnded by soil the fertility of hlcl' exceeds that Of the delta of the Nile, and wanting only water to become paradise o' bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious Huid have annually gone to waste al TuKa's very doors, but already reaction is taking place and many enterprises are en feet to supply the life giving waters oi 1nc yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

April. The same reports sho" She highest and lowest temperatures, averaged for eight years, at the same place, as follows: For November 7S1s degrees and 42 degrees, December 731s degrees and 36% degrees, January e5H degrees and B degrees, Feb ruary 7lH degrees and 351s de ree'. March Sl 1s degrees and Al degrees and April s61s degree. and 46 degrees. The nights throughout the winter are apt to be cool enough for open wood fires, and tor blankets. Half the time an overcoat is not needed during the day, but it Is never prudent for stranger to be without one st hand
 The atmosphere is singularly clear, tonic and dry. I have never seen 1t clearer anyw here in the world. It seems to have about the same bracing and collaborating qualities as the sir of the Great Sahara ID ,, Northern Africa, or of the deserts about
 Mount Sinai in Arabia Petraea. It IS much drier than m the parts of Morocco Algiers or Tunis usually visited, and drieI
 than any part of the Valley of the Nile north of the First Cataract. It seems to

 RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.
 Tn re.ard to climate, healthfulness, fer eiHty and productiveness of soil, facilities for cultivation, irrigation and abundance oi 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 ot richest and most prosperous counties ID Arizona.
 It lies between S2' 00' and 34' 20 north a.itude aud lI3' 20' and ll40 40' west ,ongitudo. It coutaIns 6,4SS. .3S2o acres. It n aboat as large as the States of Rhode Island. Connecticut and Delaware com Si.ed. or as large as either New Hampshire, Vermont or Massachusetts.
 The wcstern boundary of Yuma County fs formed by the Colorado river, which se,arates Arizona from California. The Eonntv js boundol on the north by Williams Fork and tue Santa Maria nver. whose waters flow into the Colorado; on the c@S' by the counties of Pima, Maricopa and Ysvapai, and on the south by Sonora Mexico. Ita coouty seat is the town 0i Yuma.
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter yitory of Arizona, and every drop ct "atel which falls on its mountains aud plains finds its way to this mighty river. It l' formed by the union Of the Green and Grand rivers, fed by tie streams which ,ise in tlse Rocky Mountains, and the melt ;nc srows cause greater depth of water in thiE rie 1T Tn summer than In winter. thus furnishing the most water at the season when it s most required for the purposes firr;gation and agriculture.
 will tc seen that for the entire distance ,ong its estcrn boundary, Yum" County rose zes the great advantage ot cheaI water tra.sfortaticn.
 The Gila river rises i'll the western par of New Mexico and is fed by numerous streams. among the most prominent O wbich arc the San Pedro, Agua Fria, has ssyanpa and Salt rivers. It flows wes through Yuma County and empties into th' Colorado at the town of Yuma.
 Yuma county, travcrsed by these grea rivers from it's northern to its southern and from its eastern to its western bound a-ies. possesses far greater water suppl! than any other county in the Territory and far more than can be found in all Cail fernia.
 This wster is now being diverted from it natursl channels by means of numerous large irrigeting canals, and utilized tor th' purpose of reclaiming and irrig"ting tn immense tracts of lands which lie in thi favored country, and which are as tGrtlI ss any in the world.
 Tine Southern Pacific Railroad crosses tn Colorado river at the town oi Yuma an' runs through the county, following tn ysneroI course, and at an average distance of about four miles south, Of the Gila IT CT rendering all the lands susceptible of irri cation and cultivation, eau ind an eas! outlet in tAis way and can be transported o .lrthe r,a.kets and centers of popniatioT ii, the East or West
 Another competing railroad is projected from San Diego, CaHfcrnia. to tie to"i sf Yrns. ard thence dong the north sid .ftac Gila river. Thus Yuma County wil save exceptional railroad advantages.

ACTUAL HUMIDITY.

This is extren el, slight, everyw here in
 Arizona, as com Jared with any eastern climate in the United States The air is driest On the high mesas, remote from snow clad mountains or forests, and in the desert valleys, where no considerable irri- gation has been begun. Wherever irrlga- ton is carried on on a large scale, the percentage of humidity in the atmosphere must be somewhat increased, although to an eastern visitor it is scarcely pcrceptible. 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, ins pub- lication from the Weather Bureau, gave
 the normal weight of aqueous vapor in the
 Arizona air at From 11s to grains per cubic foot.
 RAIN.
 Showers, and indeed heavy rams are
 liable to occur in every month of the year;
 but the actual number of rains seems to all l eastern visitor strangely small. The average rainfall i'll Southern Arizona, as show n by the Government observations, is but s 11S inches per year.
