attenuation for Those Seeking Homes
 In the Garden Spot of the West.

 Pinal county was organized in 1915 iron. portions of Pima, Maricopa and favaPai counties, and contains an area of aS0s square miles, or S,435,520 acres, one-third Of which could be made productive by systematic storage of the surplus water now running to waste. Next to Maricopa it Is the most i'm portant agricultural county ithe Territory It it traversed from east to west by the Southern Pacific railroad, and orahch ni the great Santa Fe system is now npproachS ing from the north. The objective point or this road is u connection with the sonora road, ef the samo 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 Sreek coal fields are roached and connection Is made with another branch of that road run ming from Bowie to Globe and now compiet- ed to Fert Thomas.
 Thus it will be seen that Pinal county is the theater of railroad building at the pres ent time, and inside of Q year Florence, the county seat, will be
 ARAILRoAD CENTER.
 At present it contains a population of about l5j0, but with the completion Of these two railroads and the Butte reservoir no city in Arizona can approach 1t for natural adyantases,sand large increase in popuie- tionswill follow. Florence is at an elevation of 1858 feet abeYe sea level situated near the Gila river, twenty six miles northwest of the railroad station Of Casa Grande, with which it is connected by an elegantly equipped dsily stage l;as. Going and coming stages run by the old Casa Grende ruins, and passengers are allowed @ short time to in spect them. There arc many handsome pri- vate residences in Florence, several brick stores, good hotel, an excellent graded school employing four teachers, churches, secret societies, c Commercial Club, news paper lthe enly one in the countyl, and the handsomest court house in tho Territory Here is held the United States Court for the district composed of Gila, Graham and Pinal counties. The streets are lined with shade trees which impart air of comfort the ~armest days
 PRODUCTS OF THE VALLEY.
 Unlike the Salt river, the waters of the Sila are fresh and pure; the soil contains DO 4lkali, Is q deep, rich gray ash, especially adapted to the growth Of the prune; oiiye' almond peach. fig, pear, apricot and ffGlts of all kinds, which pay largely on the invest Inent It Is also the natural home Of alfalfa, which grows in the most prolific manner. The grape does exceptionally well in this valley, and wine and raisin culture IS dastin- ed to become prominent industry. Sl.fuS fruits have been cultivated to 2 limited extent; there are number of orange trees in the neighborhood of Florence which bear their gelden fruit each year without pro lection, and a few date palm trees are also in full bearing. The season is from SIX weehs to two months earher than Southern Ceiiior- nia, which gives fruit growers an aI3pf feeias- cd advantage in
