an alarming tendency to increase. I'm

count OF the raising Of the average by
the cost OF the war with Germany, but
from 1880 to 1890 the cost was 4O3. 900

Pacific railway in the vicinity of Casa Grande and 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 sutti. cient water to irrigate this vast body of land
 THE CASA GRANDE VALLEY CANAL is forty three miles in length and covers 60,000 acres of land, about 7,000 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can he easily enlarged and It's capacity in creased. reservoir covering :tu0 acres having storage capacity of eight billion gal lons in the southeast corner of township n range 8, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below 1t, but those above suffer by Il shortage or water during 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.
