IS IT 4 LAwLEss COUNTRY?

The man who goes to any considerable Arizona town with the idea of the South- west derived from novels, or from ''The Arizona Kicker" will be greatly mystifed
 He will find as many churches as in towns of corresponding size in Pennsylvania pr Ohio: and probably more schoohouses. He will find plenty of liquor-shops. too, and gambling houses, and dancehouses, and yet he will see little disorder unless he hunts late at night for it, and he will be apt to hnd-as at Phoenix-a community of ten thousand people requiring in the daytime only one policeman, and hardly requiring him. During my winter there 1 did not see single disturbance in the streets. or half dozen drunken men, all told. Min. ing men and an occasional COW boy certainly had quarrels, sometimes, in the disorderly quarters at night; and there were stories of the use of the knife among Mexicans: but the visitor who went about his own business had as little trouble as on Board. way or Chestnut street. The Pima and Maricopa Indians. who are encountered everywhere. have been friendly with the whites for generations, and there isn't an Apache within some hundreds of miles.

Is IT 4 PLACE FIT TO LIVE IN?

This depends on what one expects in a
 huge, parseiy settled Territory of mount
 aims and deserts. The man who looks for
 either the beauty or the seductive excite
 ment of Monte Carlo will not lind it, As
 little will he find the historic remains or
 the cosmopolitan attractions of Egypt; nor
 could he reasonable expect the amusements
 and luxuries of our own Eastern cities. The
 people of Arizona are still chiefly busy in
 the pioneer work of subdning it to the
 residence and uses of civilized man. But
 it has two transcontinental lines of railway
 with numerous feeders; it has fast mails.
 and rival telegraph lines, and is throbbng
 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 aud Tucson. Each of them has ten thousand inhabitants or more. They have the electric light, tele- phones, trolley cars, plenty of hotels,
 banks, bookstores, good schools, churches. an occasional theatrical performance, some. times a lecture or circus, often horse race, and, in the spring. a thoroughly curious and interesting "iesta." For the cest, people must take their amusements with them. Good horses are abundant and cheap and there are plenty of cow boys-the genuine article-to show what horses can do. The driving for fifteen or twenty miles in almost any direction from Phoenix, is nearly always easy. The roads are apt to be dusty; but there Is one we'll | sprinkled drive of six or eight miles; and since the winds are quite regular in their direction, it is rarely difficult to choose route or which the dust will be largely | carried away frou you. The unbroken | desert itself is often as easy to drive over as an Eastern highway, and the whole | valley is paradise for bicycIers, or eques- 5rians.

wiite man first set foot on what Is now Yuma County in I77l. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and 5se of the four original counties of the Ter ritory. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years eX- bect to See Ylma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali sornia catches of Arizona is that of the picturesque town cf Yuma, which is snugly situated in the embrace of gentle rolling Ajils. upon whose crests and sides th" modern homes Of our superior civilization gre crowding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undeveloped riches the eyes Of the country are at present turned, and as such, .. is bound to grow and prosper with rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geogFaphI- cal position we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural possib'iI- ties are practically unlimited, being sur- rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta Of the Nile, and Sganting oaly water to become paradise of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid have annually gone to waste at Tuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place aHd many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters ot zhe yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

AEIZ0NA.

Arizona stands al 5he threshold of an era of wonderful social and industrial de- velopmeut. There can't be doubt about the foat The dawn for which she has waited 50 long is breaking at last. There is every promise of day of great pros- parity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The 'upuAe of new and ener- eizi1g hope is visible everywhere among her people while the cumulative effect of many things. which made but small im- pressiou as they traDspired siugly, is now commanding for her full share of atten- Gon and interest abroad among home seekers and capitalists.
 4 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of thing gs which have hereto fore gone o-beEgiug for ownership. There IS 9 ascumble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ing gtuan this The rates of interest are falling Go moJeIate Ggures. Nothing more surely indicates conGdence and competition among Che money lend, IS than this.
 Arizona has Icache1 that climacticer period which every western state has ex- nerieucad sometime in its history when, after long aud weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and then down, che alouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and a sunhurst of aDerriziug hope ms thrilled the droop- ing spid,s of the people to greater aid braver eudeavor than before.

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY.

RIVERS OF YUMA COUNTY. - In regard to climate, healthfulness, fer tility and productiveness of soil, facilities for cultivation, irrigation and abundance ot water supply, variety Of resources and eheap transportation by rail and by water, 10 part of Arizona can surpass Yuma county, which is destined to become one of richest and most prosperous counties In Arizona.
 It lies between 320 OO' and 340 20' north latitude and ll3o 2O' and ll40 40' west Iouritude. It contains 6.4S8. .320 acres. It ss sabout as large as the States of Rhode Island. Connecticut and Delaware com bi.ed, or as large as either New Hampshire Termcnt or Massachusetts.
 The western boundary of Yuma County is farnled by the Colorado river, which se,,arates Arizona from California. The county is bounded on the north by Williams FcYk and the Santa Maria uver, whose waters flow into the Colorado; on the east nv the counties of Pima, Maricopa and Favapai. and on the south by Sonora, Mexico. Its county seat is the town of Yuma.
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter fitory Of Arizona, and every drop ct water which falls on its mountains and plains fnds its way to this mighty river. It Is formed by the union of the Green and Grand rivers, fed by the streams which rise in the Rocky Mountains, and the melt iug snows cause a greater depth of water in this river Tn summer than in winter, thus furnishing the most water at the season ghen it is most required for the purposes firrigation and agriculture.
 t will be seen that for the entire distance -.ong its western boundary, Yuma County oosst ses the great advantage ot cheap water transportation.
 The Gila river rises In the western part of New Mexico and Is fed by numerous streams, among the most prominent Of which are the San Pedro, Agua Fria, Has, savampa and Salt rivers. It flows west through Yuma County and empties into the Colorado at the town of Yuma.
 Yuma county. traversed by these great rivers from its northern to its southern, and from its eastern to its western bound aries, possesses a far greater water supply ~i,a,, any other county in the Territory, and far more than can be found in all Cali sernia
 This water is new being diverted from its natural channels by means of numerous large irrigeting canals, and utilized for the purpose of reclaiming and irriga ting the smmerse tracts of lands which lie in this favored country, and which are as fertile 2s any in the world.
 The Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the 1 Colorado river at the town Of Yuma and runs through the county, following the xenerol course, and at an average distance ! 5f about four miles seuth, of the Gila river i rendering ail the lands susceptible of irri- eaticn and cultivation, can find an easy | ou utlct in this way and can be transport ted . oau the markets and centers of population Ii tlic East or West.
 Another competing railroad is projected from San Diego, California, to tie town sf Yuma, and thence along the north side of the Gila river Thus Yuma County will fave exceptional railroad advantages.

ACTUAL HUMIDITY.

This is extren ely slight, everywhere in Arizona, as compared with any eastern climate in the United States. The air is driest on the high mesas, remote from snowclad mountains or forests, and in the desert valleys, where no considerable irri- gation has been begun. Wherever irrlga- tion is carried on on large scale, the percentage of humidity in the atmosphere must be somewhat increased, although to an eastern visitor it is scarcely perceptible. 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, in a pub lication from the Weather Bureau, gave the normal weight of aqueous vapor in the Arizona air at from l 1s to grains per cubic fcot.

COLOSSAL FRAUDS PERpETRATED.
Banks in st. Paul and Other Mississippi
Towns Victims Of Swindlen.

Washington, March 22.-Information
has reached the government through
banks at st. Paul, Minn., that these and
other nearby banks have been the
victims OF colossal frauds through sus-
pected collusion of government clerks,
connected with the commission having
in charge improvements on the upper
Mississippi river. The statement sub
mitted indicates that $780, or more
have been procured through the issuing
OF fraudulent time checks for services
never performed. Some of the checks
are said to be signed by j. H. Southall,
chief clerk Of the United States engi-
neers Office in st. Paul, and are dated at
different times during 1897. Others 1t is
understood are dated, 1896. 1t is under
stood that the banks will make claim
for reimbursement, but the law Is said
to be clearly against this contention.
