Is ITAPLACE FIT TO LIVE IN?

This depends on what one expects in a
 huge, parsely settled Territory of mount ains and deserts. The man who looks for
 either the beauty or the seductive excite
 ment of Monte Carlo will not ind it. As
 little will he find the historic remains or the cosmopolitan attractions of Egypt; nor could he reasonable expect the amusemenfs and luXuries of our own Eastern cities. The people of Arizona are still chiefly busy in the pioneer work of subduing it to the residence and uses of civilized man. But 1t has two transcontinental lines oE railway with numerous feeders; it has fast mails. and rival telegraph lines, and is throbbing 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 and Tucson. Each of them has ten thousand inhabitants ar more. They have the electric light. tele- phones, trolley cars, plenty of hotels, banks, bookstores, good schools, churches.

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 a route or which the dust will be largely carried away from 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- trians.

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 S1a inches per year.

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 Ari- 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 ogo that the Florence canal was completed and the work Of actual improvement begun. 1t is useless to deny that under our present water system there is nothing lise suih-- oient water to irrigate this vast body Of land
 THE CASA GRANDE VALLEY CANAL is forty-three miles in length and covers Ge000 acres of land, about [, ,G00 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and it's capacity in- erenssd. A reservoir covering 1,oa0 acres, having storage capacity of eight billion gall Ions in the southeast corner of township 6, range g, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below it. but those above suffer by shortage of water during a few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con- struetion of huge reservoir at the Buttes, fifteen miles northeast of Florence. Com petent engineers have examined and reported upon the scheme and pronounce it feasible.

CASTERS VERSION OF THE EPISODE.
He Did Not Practice any Cruelty on
the Dog.

Jacob Caster. the steward at the
Country club, believes that the pub
llshed accounts of the dog episode,
which led to his arrest have done him
an injustice. He denies that he prac-
tlced any cruelty to the dog.
The animal, he says, was a pet dog
owned by a member of the club. He
had the dog in the wagon beside him
Il ed by tie strap so that it might
not jump out. But as the wagon pass
ed the leather store on Spruce street
between Penn and Franklin avenues a
little black dog ran by. The little dog
in the wagon animated with a desire
TO eat up the dog in the street, jumped
out. The little dog forgot the tie strap
but 1t didn't take long TO get to the
end of it's rope. The dog that had been
i'm the wagon hung out of the wagon,
its hind feet touching the ground be-
tween the wheels. When Mr.. Caster
saw the dog jump he at once stopped
the wagon, and got out to relieve the
suffering little dog. but Officer Knapp
was there too and arrested Mr. Caster
and took him before the alderman, who
did not impose a fine, eXacting only
the costs. Caster says he may appeal
the case for he practiced no inten-
tional cruelty on the dog.

JOHN II. PHELPS DEAD
His Demise Was Due to a Stroke Of
ParaIysis.-S cd the First
Stroke In Nov, 1896.

John II. Phelps died at 1918 o'clock
last night at his home on Linden street.
Mr.. Phelps was unconscious during
nearly the whole of yesterday and up
to the time of his death. During his
illness he had long and frequent periods
of consciousness, but was speechless
and physically helpless.
The stroke of paralysis that caused
Mr.. Phelps death was the fourth at
tack of that kind. Its primary cause
was diabetes, from which he had suf-
fered for nearly two years. He ex-
perienced the first stroke of paralysis
in November. 1895. 1t seriously affect
ed his general health, which was bene-
fitted the following spring by an ex-
tended trip to South America. The
third paralytic attack came about three
months ago, but he recovered from it
within few days.
At o'clock on the morning of Sat-
urday, July 2. Mr.. Phelps was found
unconscious in bed. He never rallied
from this final visitation of the dread
ed malady. For several days his death
has been expected at any time.
Mr.. Phelps was one of the best known
drug men in this section of the state
His prominence was in part due to the
central location of the several drug
stores that he has owned in this city
and also to the Phelps Rheumatic
Elixir, patented preparation, from
the sale of which he has for many
years received a handsome compet-
ency.
Mr.. Phelps was SO years old last
month. He came to Scranton in 1869
from Baldwinsville, n. Y, and started
drug store on the west side of Penn
avenue, where Harris drug store is
now situated. In 1876 he changed his
location and was among the first of
the larger retailers to move northeast
establishing his store at the corner of
wyoming avenue and Spruce street,
the present site of the Traders Ma
tional bank building. 1t was while
located on this spot that in 1881 he be-
gan the manufacture of the rheumatic
elixir which has brought him a reve-
nue. manv times more than sufficient
to make him Independent of his regular
drug business, which, however, has all
ways been carefully and capably man.

1t is a coincidence that three years

what has been said to be one of the
finest appointed stores of the kind in
Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Phelps is survived by his wife
and three daughters. Misses Bessie,
Josephine and Eloise. His only other
near relative, a sister, Mrs. King, of
Rochester, n. Y, was at his bedside
during his recent illness.
Mr.. Phelps was extremely domestic
in his tastes. He never aspired to pub
lie position but cherished the sociabl-
lty that came with his intercourse
among chosen intimates. He delighted
