 In fact, in a 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 no degrees Is not as oppres- siye as oO 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 30 degrees. At nearly all times there is pleasant breeze; the nights are invariably cool in the summer, and outdoor labor is performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast on the warInest days Very seldom does the thermometers 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

PRICES OF LAND.

Improved lands, with government title and water right, can be bought for from S20 to $50 per acre, according to location and im- proyements In the immediate neighbor- hood and to the south of the Casa Grande ruins there are thousands of acres covered with heavy growth of mesquite timber yet open to settlement. These are among the choicest in the valley. Water in nexhausti- ble quantity is found at a depth of from twenty to thirty feet; in fact, river seems to be flowing underneath. Here is a spiea- did opportunity to take up and improve land with pumping system of irrigation, which is said to be successful small tracts

The Midway.

There never was such a midway at

fair. 1t is not quite as large as some
or as extensive, but still there is lots
to be seen and the usual variety of

orange cider. Then of course, there
are the usual number of small boys
carrying round baskets of grapes and
peanuts for sale
At the entrance there are several
booths having confectionery, candies,
ETC., for sale, but little farther up is
the great 'HMusee'' where Madam
Lucette, allegedf female champion boxer,
gives sparing exhibitions. She through
her manager, many times during the
day offers to meet any female boxer TO
fight a limited number of rounds or TO
finish. She is supported by George

the people like to examine the mon

as the animal is nothing but bag of

The Races.

There were three races on the card
for Friday, the 2.37 and 2.25 classes,
and the ladies' wagon race. They were
all full of excitement and there were
many close finishes. The closest finish
was in the fourth heat of the 2.25 class
when Lady Jedwood started in fifth
place and at the first of the race was
among the trailers. On the last half
she made an unusual squirt and landed
under the wire just about head ahead
of Stella.
The ladies furnished lots Of fun in
their race and the remarkably quick
Harvesting of Mrs. Cookson pleased the
crowd. She had a much easier horse
to harness than Miss Marson. How
ever, after Miss Marson once started
she quickly gained on the other horse,
but could not overhaul the winner.
The sy,npathies of the crowd were for
the greater part with Miss MarsOn, but
they loudly cheered Mrs. COokson 1T
the finish. During the first heat the
traces of Mrs. CoOkson's harness be-
came unfastened and she finished with
