Pacific railway in the vicinity of Casa Grande and Arizola Is at present, and with good reason considered one of the most desirable portions of this magnificent Southern Art- 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 irrignte this vast body of land
 THE CASA CYANIDE VALLEY CANAL Is forty three miles In length and covers 60,OO0 acres of land, about 1000 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and its capacity in- creased. reservoir covering 1,o00 acres, having storage capacity of eight billion gal- Ions, In the southeast corner of township 6. 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.

FUSION DON'T WORK THERE.

Populists Make Demands the Rcpuhli-
cans Refuse to Grant-Rhoden Mitch
ell and His New Paper.
Windsor, n. c., July 2o.-(Special.)-
The readers of your paper are familiar
with Rhoden Mitchell, Bertie's colored
politician, who last year advocated local
taxation for public schools on the
ground that it would be Il good thing
for white teachers to be examined by
negro committeeman and negro teachers
by white committeeman. Well, he is again
in the public eye. He has published Il
paper which he calls the 'Tocsin and In
former" and in the July number he
gives an account of the meeting of the
Popuist office-holders and Republican
politicians at Burdens Mill to agree upon
a plan of fusion. After eating lunch.
the two parties met together, and the
Popuists told the Republicans that
they must have the representatives.
sheriff. clerk of the Superior court, and
county commissioners. AS the negroes
alone have 400 more votes than the
Populists and Democrats combined, and
as the Populists only have something
like 250 votes, the Republicans declined
the proposition, and an adjournment was
had until August 22nd.
Rhoden then demands that more
negroes he placed on the jury and figures
out that the white people are getting
more than their share of the money
paid out to jurors.

;, Stranger in New York.

Charles Hoyt, the popular American
playwright, has been catering to the risible
side of the tickle public for the past decade
and has during that time contributed many
successes to the American comedy stage,
but in presenting "a Stranger in New
York" it is said that he has eclipsed all his
former efforts. Much of the success OF
this clever playwright is undoubtedly due
to the happy faculty he combines with
authorship in the selection of artists to
bring into reality the creatures of his brain.
This is forcibly illustrated in the company
now presenting ga Stranger in New
York" which returns to the opera house
next Wednesday evening. This highly
entertaining skit will be pleasantly remem-
bered by theatre-goers as creating no end
OF hearty laughter and playing to the
largest audience of the season when last
presented here.
/ The cast to be seen here includes Joseph
Coyen, Anna Boyd, the original widow on
the famous "Trip to Chinatown" the Nc
Coy sisters, Arthur Pacie, Sam Marion,
Hattie Williams, Amy Muller, the dancing
marvel, and bevy Of remarkably pretty
girls.
Every particle of scenery and all the
stage accessories will be brought from
Hoyt's theatre, New York, thus amuse.
ment seekers can rely upon seeing the
same performance here, prese nted in pre-.
cisely the same manner as given in New
York during its great run.

The Brosnahan-Jackson Comedy COM
pany has commenced the tour of New
York state and has this week been playing
in Oneonta to crowded houses. The Star
Of that city makes fatterlng mention Of the
performances and says that better roper
toire company never visited the place. AT
the third performance, it speaks of the
aisles being filed with chairs and of many
people being obliged to stand, SO large was
the audience, while the play, it says was
presented in finished manner, each part
being most cleverly portrayed.

want lathe and Mr.. Brace doubted if be
would hear from the advertisement at all
He received one inquiry from Ludlow, one
from Keene, one from Saxtons River and
three from Bellows Falls and sold the lathe
to good advantage. And yet there are
still few in Bellows Falls who insist tina,
people do not read advertisements and
money spent for advertising is foolishly
spent.

several parties that they intended to built
the road this fall they returned to Burling

very few, while those who think the gentle
