ACTUAL HUMIDITY,

This is extremely 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 irriga- tlon 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 8 pub lication from the Weather Bureau, gave the normal weight of aqueous vapor in the Arizona air at from l1l to 4 grains per cubic foot.

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

WhiLelaw Reid. owner and editor of the New York Tr'june who has spent the last two wint CTS in Arizona for the benefit of his health, writes entertaiuiugly and in structively concerning that rart of the country. Mr. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Arf- zona as g place for winter residence, and there appears to be such a dearth of pre- else information among many who are yitaIly interested, that it seems almost | public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, 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 open air at some time or other during the day. Of course there were a good many days which weather observer would de scribe as "cloudy," and some that were "showery; but during these five months (from No' ember, 1885, to May, ls96l there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dur ing the day. Even more than Egypt, any. where north of Luxor, Arizona is the land Of sunshine. As to details:

RAIN.

Showers, and indeed heavy rains are liable to occur in every month of the year; but the actual number of rains seems to an eastern visitor strangely small The average rainfall in Southern Arizona, as shown by the Government observations, is but SI2 inches per year,

COUNTY OFFICERS.

In the county race, just as good
men were defeated as those who
were elected; and vice versa. The
HERALD in all sincerity and good
faith therefore, can "rejoice with
those who do rejoice and weep with
those who weep"
In the selection of Mr.. Hight for
sheriff, our POpulite friends have at
last secured for one of their number
one of the best offices in the county.
But this race was not run on politi-
cal grounds; and not by his politics
but by his works must Mr.. Hight be
judged and by this test the HER
AID INDUCES the hope and is in
cllned to the belief that the county
will find in him an upright and eff
cient officer. .....
Hardly If ever any man received
a more fattering endorsement than
did Mr.. Cranberry for Trustee. In
him we have tried man, and one
who has proven himself accommo-
dating, prompt and efficient; one
who, as his vote testifies, has given
most general satisfaction. For the
successful conduct of his Office and
the f1attering endorsement of his
administration, Mr.. CRANBERRY is
greatly indebted to his deputy, Mr..
n. B. Cheairs, who will of course be
retained in his present position.
Mr.. Embry, who was reelected
Circuit Court Clerk, is another tried
man, against whose administration
no word of reproach could be said
He knows and understands the bust
ness of his office to the minutest de-
tail, and there is never a day OF

taking, courteous and attentive, and
will in like manner perform the du-
ties of his new office.
Mr.. Latta, the new Register, is q
new figure in politics. He has never
held office before, and until the be-
ginning of this campaign was not
generally known. Those who know
him best gave him a f1attering en-
dorsement at the polls. He is q
poor man, with a large family, and
his friends were greatly elated over
his success. He is industrious
prompt and reliable, and will always
be found at his post of duty.
So as a whole the responsible du-
ties of the public offices of the
county seem to be in safe hands
and we extend our congratulations
TO both the people and the officer:

To some of those who were de-
feated there seems promise of a
brighter day yet 20 come.

The Two MOguls Have Stirred Up Quite
Muss.
Secretary Alger and Colonel
TEDDY" Roosevelt, the Rough
Rider leader, are at "outs." The
difficulty all arose over a letter
which Roosevelt wrote and sent -
the Secretary. informing him in
strong terms of the condition Of the
army at Santiago and suggesting it's
removal to some place with better
sanitary conditions. The Secretary
answered, concluding his language
in none too mild terms, and as a re-
suit a bitter row has arisen between
the two men and their friends, and
there is no telling where it will end
A correspondent writing from Wash
ington says:
AT present the friends of RoOse-
welt have the whip in hand, and
there will be no effort spared to
shove Secretary Alger from the
Cabinet. The fact that the letter
was personal one to the Secretary
and was written in confidential
vein, makes it appear that the
Secretary acted in bad faith, il
not through spite, in making it
public. There is nothing too hard
which is not being said against
Alger just at present in some quar-
tiers. Gen. Alger has not been a
popular member of the Cabinet, and
since it was known that he had been
called into McKinley's council there
have been detractors who have been
predicting his undoing and by his
own methods"

CONGRESSIONAL PRIMARY CALLED.

The Democratic Congressional
Executive Committe has met and
called direct district primary for
the purpose of nominating a candi-
date for Congress.
We have no objection to the pri-
mary plan; but in making their call
the committee, in our judgement,
have made the common mistake of
leaving their doors too wide open.
Why they should open the same
doors to the Bryan men and the
Palmer men, can be accounted for
in no other way than that it is one of
those funny, irreconcilable incon-
sistencies you frequently meet with
in politics. Upon the paramount
question in the last campaign, the
Bryan and Palmer men differed as
widely as the Watson and Mckinley
men; and as that same question will
doubtless be the vital question be-
ore the next House, we see no more
roason for admitting into the same
nominating primary silver Demo-

So much for that question. And
in addition to that, by their silence
they admit into this primary those
traitorous Democrats who just last

knitted the Democratic nominee for
Circuit Judge. Such an hetero-

Still, the committee has done it

They have put themselves, and
by their action their party, on record

elections; and in doing SO they have
done wisely and well.

Green Manure For Potatoes.

At this season of growth potatoes show very quickly whether any green manure is plowed under for them, says American Cultivator. If it has been, they will almost invariably keep green one or two weeks longer than will pc tatoes for which a naked stubble was plowed as their seed bed. Earlier in the season the growth of the potatoes on a naked stubble may be the best, but after the potatoes have set and the demand for moisture is greatest is the time when the potatoes over green manure plowed under show their advantage.
 One week longer in keeping green may double the crop of marketable potatoes.
