Pacific railway in the vicinity of Casa Grandc ard 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 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 irrigate this vast body of land
 THE CASA eRANDE VALLEY CANAL is forty-three miles in length and covers 60,000 acres of land, about 1000 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and it's capacity in- creased. reservoir covering 1900 acres, having storage capacity of eight billion gall Ions, in the southeast corner of township g., 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 Q few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con- struction of huge reservoir at the Buttes, fifteen miles northeast of Florence. Com petent engineers have examined and reported upon the scheme and pronounce 1t feasible.

 Tn fact in a residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two nersons to be overcome by the heat, and fhey recovered. Their condition, however. was more the result of whisky than heat: The air is so dry here that registered temperature of no degrees is not as oppres- sive as 30 tlegrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact, and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to pc fulls 90 degrees.

A FUNERAL HYMN.
There is Mourning in Old Castillo, and
Spain is In the Lower Rank rs q
Nation.
WHAT SPAIN THINKS.

LONDON, Aug. 15.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says:
"The comments of the press en- the
protocol are verltable funeral hymn
on the destruction of the Spanish col
opial empire. Some days ago the de-
sire for peace made the people close
their eyes to the price, but now, upon
reading the protocol, they realize that
the cost is the loss OF that empire
which Spain had conquered with so
much glory, and that Spain now falls to
the second rank among nations. The
public mind is stunned and there is
general mourning.
General Blanco telegraphs that Ha-
vana is greatly agitated by the news of
the signing of the protocol, and that
much anxiety Is manifested to learn
the conditions, which have not yet been
published. Some uneasiness is felt re-
garding the effect that the text OF the
protocol may have on the Spanish vol
unteers in Havana. Many newspapers
expresses grief and dispair that the men
who brought disaster on Spain by lack
of foresight, organization and ability,
should continue to govern the country.
El Pals today presents the text Of the
protocol signed by the United States
and Spain with mourning borders, and
says: "Spain, without colonies is
reduced to the role of a third rate
power. maa &,
Eg Impartial says: "Peace will not
bring to Spain even the rest she so
much needs after three years and q
half of.war."
Et Nacional says bitterly: "If Spain
had at least been vanquished only after
furious and heroic struggle she could
resign herself. Peace with the United
States will only be momentarY respite
from our misfortunes.' ...zt.-

SENDS HIS REGARDS.
Blanco Seems To Be still in Havana, and
Hopes to Get Something to Eat.
GREELY SENT HIM WORD.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. = Captain
General Ramon Blanco, despite the
contempt which he has frequently ex-
pressed for American soldiers and sail
ors, is exceedingly happy over the ces.
sation Of hostilities General Greedy
has received a message from him in
which he expressed delight that peace
would reign for while at least. When
M. Cambon, the French ambassador,
signed the protocol in behalf of Spain,
thus putting an end to the war, General
Greeley at once took steps to inform
Captain General Blanco of the cessation
of hostilities. General Greeley compiled
a message, in which he embodied the
principal provisions of the protocol, and
forwarded it to Captain Sawyer, the
censor at Key West, with instructions
to forward it to General Blanco at Ha-
vana. 80 re a~fFA a-o@s4
Ever since the declaration of war Ha-
vana has been shut out from cable com.
munication with the outside world
via Key West, and with the capture
of Santiago General Blanco was CON-
pletely isolated. Upon one occasion
dlOuo was ITO ptI mittcu w COm ILL uuiCsto
with his government, when Cervera's
fleet was destroyed. General Blanco
asked General Greedy for the privilege
of sending Cervera's report to Spain
by way of Key West. and the chief
signal officer granted the Spanish COM
mander's request with the consent
of the President. Since then, however,
Blanco has been completely isolated,
and has not once been able to COM
municate with his government. He was
in utter ignorance of the progress of
the peace negotiations, aud even that
Spain had sued for peace. So it must
have afforded him great pleasure to re
ceivs General Greely's dispatch an.
nouncing the cessation of hostilities.
In any event General Blanco i'm
mediately sent the following reply to
Captain Sawyer: n
"Please give General Greedy my kind.
est thanks and affectionate regards for
bis courtesy in informing me of the
restoration OF peace. reSsnm #
