 CAN ONE LIVE COMFORTABLY?
 That again depends on what you expect You cannot have the luxuries of our New York houses out there, unless you builc one; or the variety of our New York markets, unless you charater refrigerator car. But there are hotels with almost much frontage as the Waldorf; and, like everything else in the Territory excepting the mountains and deserts. they are new There are boarding houses Of more kinds than one; and brick cottages of eight or ten rooms can occasinally by rented Bet ter than any of them, for the man with energy and the pluck to take it, is to on the desert; and he who knows how "camp out" with comfort through Septem, Der h the Adirondacks can camp out in Arizona through the wlnter.
 As to food, there is plenty, end it is good-if you can get it we'll cooked. The alfalfa fields of the Salt River Valley are the fattening ground for the great cattle ranges of the Territory. From there the markets of Los Angeles and oven of Denver are largely supplied, Good beef, mutton and poultry are plenty and cheap. Quail, ducks and venison from the vicinity can also be had. Vegetables and fruits are abundant in their eeason, and sometimes the season is a long one. It is tie one country have lived in where straw berries ripen in the open air ten months in the year. have had them On my table, fresh picked from the open garden it Christuias

 Us striking advantage offered by Arizona that, with the same general con ditions as to tenn perature and dryness of air, the physician is able to select nearly any altitude he may desire. Thus, asth- matic sufferers can find almost the sea level at Yuma, or an altitude of only a thousand feet at Phoenix, or of only 2,4OO at tucson Others, who find no objection to greater elevations, can choose betweer Prescott or Fort Whipple, 5, 400; Flag staff, 6. .800,; the Sulphur Spring Valley, or Fort Grant, 4,200; Fort Huachuca. 4,SO0, or Oracle, about 1, 900.
 WHICH TOTN IS TEe BEsr?
 Primarily that is a question for the phy.  sioian, if there is 8 physician in the case # not. try them all. If 2 mountain region, considerable altitude and comparatively low temperature is dcsiled, Prescott is in 2 picturesque region, near great mining districts, and has tie social adyaAtaga Of an army post, whippie Barracks. az staff IS still higher, is in region of, lse pine forests, and is within r hard .y's journey of one of the wonders of the Id, the Colorado Canyor Oracle IS :tty mountain nook, powered in splGndid live oaks, like } ,se of California, and is also near an hportant mining district If lower altitude and 8 distinctly ssni- tropical climate are desired, the three places most likely to be considered are Yuma, Tucson and Phoenix. The first Is near the sea level; is the warmest and probably the driest of the three, has the least population, and the smallest provision for visitors. Tucson is the oldest town in the Territory, and, after Santa Fe, perhaps the oldest in the Southwest. Its adobe houses give 1t Mexican look, and are thoroughly comfort able. Its newer houses are Of handsome building stone, found in the vicinity. The Ten itorial University is ere, and 1t was formerly the capital It's elevation being more than double that Of Phoenix, 1t is somewhat cooler, and as there is sAcxt to no irrigation near it, the air IS 8 little drier Phoenix Is the centre oi the greatest ifriga- tion in the Territory. The country for miles around smiles with green fields, cover cd with almost countless herds of cattle, ana It IS everywhere shut in by low mount aims. 1t IS the Territorial capital, has the Government Indian School, the Territorial Lunatic Asylum, and other institutions, and is the general focus for the Territory. Like Tucson, it has it. occasional wind and sand storms-perhaps rot quite 50 often At either place visitors who know how to adapt themselves to circumstances can be entirely comfortable, and in each they will find an intelligent, orderly. enterprising and most hospitable community. They will find country full of mines, full of rich agricultural lands, abouuding in cattle and horses, in vineyards and orchards and the of very successful orange groves a country, in fact, as full of promise for .l..
