paci6e railway in theyicinitS oi Casa Grande and Arizola is Ut 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. IL 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 sum. cient water to irrigate this vast body of land
 THE CASA GRANDE VALLEY CANAL is forty-three miles in length and covers 60, 900 acres of land, about 1000 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and it's capacity inc creased. 4 reservoir covering l,6oo acres, having storage capacity of eight billion gal Ions, in the southeast corner of township D, range 8, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below 1t, but those above suffer by a shortage of water Siurirtr few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con struetion of huge reservoir at the Buttes, fifteen miles northeast of Florence. Com petent engineers have examined and reported upon the scheme and pronounce it feasible.

Women Buyers In New York.

women who come annually to the city TO
buy from the local firms made 1t seem
necessary to do something for their amuse-
after by the local wholesale dealers. 1t has
now become a part of the duties of the
younger employees in these firms to provide
for the entertainment of the women buyers
from other cities They become acquainted
in the course of business with the buyers

that their men colleagues do. Such a course
