CURE FOR MILITARY NOSTALGIA,
Colored Soldiers in Cuba Are Taking II
and Their Sweethearts at Home Mourn.

Colored Soldiers in Cuba Are Taking II
and Their Sweethearts at Home Mourn.
DR.. Harrison, a colored physician
of Wichita, Kan, has received letter
from one Of the Wichita boys with the
Twenty-third Kansas Volunteers, the
colored regiment now at San Luis de
Cuba, which has caused CONSERVATION
among the colored people, and espec-
tally the women who had husbands or
sweethearts in the company. In that
letter the soldier states that six mem.
bers of the Wichita company are en-
gagged to marry Cuban girls and that
many other members of the regiment
are in love with Cuban and half-breed
Spanish women, who are said to be
unusually good locking and attrac-
tive. -
There were a number of married
men among the RECRUITS and others
who had promised to marry Wichita
girls on their return. 1t is the women
who unwillingly allowed their sweet
hearts to go to Cuba that are most
worried. They are afriad their "men"
will fall prey to the attractions of the
tropical amorettes and never come
back to them, The letter says that it
IS probable That i th9 col0Ted troops
remain there o year almost one-half of
them will marry natives and remain
there.
The reason assigned for the whole
sale slaughter of soldier hearts is that
whenssbes troops went there almost all
the boys were homesicll and down.
hearted, and about the only relief they
could find wasin the smiles and charms
| of the beautiful native women. Then
as theysfearned something of the Ian
/ guage loves charms were working and
soon the soldier boys (some OF them)
forgot all about being homeslek, SO
much were they enamoured with then
new sweethearts. =

Great changes have been made III the appearance of this part of the valley during the last four years. 1t was about that long neyo 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 suili- cient water to irrigate this vast body Of land
 THE CASA GRANDE VALLEY CANAL is forty three miles in length and covers 6g,o00 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 ,60O acres, having storage capacity of eight billion, gal lons in the southeast corner of township o, range 8, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below it, but those above suffer by a shortage of water during a 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. potent engineers have examined and reported upon the scheme and pronounce it feasible.

 In fact, in a residence of sixteen years In Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and they recovered. Their condition, however, was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that registered temperature of 1I0 degrees is not as oppres- siye as 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York. Tho Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact. and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fulIs 30 degrees. At nearly all times there is a pleasant breeze; the nights are invariably cool in the summer, and outdoor labor is performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast on the warmest days. Very seldom does the thermometer get be- low the freezing point in winter, and in the gardens of Florence to-day are castor bean plants two years or more old.
