against the two baseball clubs, arrested for
playing last Sunday, were called up and
were indefinitely postponed. The question
of whether Sunday ball is to be played in
Indianapolis may now be carried to the SUI

 , COUNTY. l Because the climate is perfect. r Because the soil is fertile and prolific. Because land is abundant and cheap.
 Because home can be made with littl, labor.
 Because so great variety of product. can be grown.
 because the yield is large and the prices always remunerative.
 Because life is q luxury in a land wkere the sun shines every day.
 Because there are chances for poor man winch he can never hope to find in older countries.
 because the country is advancing and property values are increasing.
 Because, unlike Southern California it does not require small fortune to secure T piece of land.
 Because capital does not block all the av enues to wealth, nor crowd the poor man | to the wall.
 Because Uncle sam has yet many farms in Yuma county waiting for occupants. Because churches, schools. newspaners and railroads are fast developing the moral and material elements of the Territory. Because good land is becoming scarce. and if you don't catch on now, your last chance will soon be gone.
 Because the country is one of the few regions of the United States that yields the products of the temperate and semi-tropic zones.
 Because the worker receives a fair com. pensation for his labor, and the .rustIer' has a field for the display of his energy and en- terprise.
 Because there are neither blizzsrds or tornadoes, earthquakes nor inundatiors snow-storms nor cyclones.

IS IT A LAwLESs COUNTRY?

The man who goes to any considerable Arizona town with the idea of the South west derived from novels, or from 'sThe Arizona Kicker" will be greatly mystifed. He will hnd as many churches as in towns ot corresponding size in Pennsylvania pr Ohio; and probably more schoolhcuses. He will find plenty of liquor-snops. too. and gambling houses, and dancehouses. and vet he will see little disorder unless he hunts late at night for it. and he will be ant to tind-as at Phoenix-a community of ten thCusand people requiring in the daytime onl / one policeman, and hardly requiring him. During my winter there I did not see single disturbance in the streets, or hall dozen drunken men, all told. Min. ing men and an occasional cowboy certainly had quarels, sometimes, in the disorderly quarters at night; and there were stories or the use of the knife among Mexicans. but the visitor who went about his own business had as little trouble as on Roord. way or Chestnut street.

A white man first set foot on what i now Yrma County in l.7l. It IS tn, southwest division of the Territory, anC ose the four original counties of the Ter ritory. Many great reclamation projects ar, fo' yer on foot, and in a few years ex- ncc5 70 see Yuma County rated as tho li-hest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali 5ouia catches of Arizona is that of the picturesque town of Yurna, which is snugly -f.u- ed in the embrace of gentle rolling nils lpon whose crests and sides the Mo5- I homes of our superior civilization are TOW ding the adobe dwellings into

 is hcund to grow and prosper with q rapiGity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographi cal position we find that she is the center of country whose agricultural possibili- lies are practically unlimited, being sur roure by a soil the fertility of which excee4s .hat- oI s!.o delta Of the Nile, and wanting oaly water to become paradise of oloom.

IS TT A PLACE FIT TO LIVE IN?

1hls depends on what one expects in a
 huge, parsely 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 find it. As
 little will he find the historic remains or
 the cosmopolitan attractions of Egypt; nor
 could he reasonable expect the amusements
 and luXurles 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. Rut 1t has two transcontinental lines Of 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 ot 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 lecture or 6 circus, often a 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 Ooys-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 'prinkled drive of six or eight miles; and since the winds are quite regular in their iirection, it Is rarely difficult to choose a oute or which the dust will be largely arried away fron you. The unbroken lesert itselfis often as easy to drive over IS an Eastern highway, and the whole alley is paradise for bicyclers, or eques- rfans.
