 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 a registered temperature of no degrees is not as oppres- sive as 50 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized the apparent and sensible temperature to be tuiis 50 degrees. At nearly all times there is 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,
 UNTOUCHED BY FROST.
 Orange and lemon trees require slight pro- tection during the winter for year or two until the wood is sufficiently hardened.
 While it is popular thing for one to say uudisputed fact that for all pulmonary aiI- ments no climate on earth is equal to South arn Arizona, and there are numbers of active industrious citizens, with but one lung, who came here years ago, expecting to live but few weeks. But for all that the wonderful Casa Grande valley Is something better than health resort.
