It's Attractions and Advantages as a
 Place Of Residence in Winter.

White!aw Reid. na nsr ,,-,d editor of the New York Tribune, hn has spent the last two winters in Al,zona for the benefit of his health, writes entertainingly and in structively concerning that part of the country. Mr. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as place for winter residence, and there appears to he such deartb of pre- else information among many who are vita fly interested, that it seems almost a public duty, to set down, in the simplest form. few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER.
 During Q five months residence in Southern Arizona in winter there was but one day when the V eather made it actually unpleasant for ne to take exercise in the open air at some time or other during the day. Of course there were a good many days which a weather observer would de- scribe as ''cloudy," and some that were "sho-yery; but during these five months (from No ember. 1895, to May, lS96,l there were only four days when we did not have brilliant sunshine at some time dur ing the day. Even more than Egypt, any where north of Luxor, Arizona is the laud of sunshine. As to details:

RIVERS UF YUMA COUNTY.

In regard to climate, healthfulness, fer dlity and productiveness ot soil, facilities for cultivation, irrigation and abundance "t water supply, variety of resources and cheap transportation by rail and by water no part of Arizon can surpass Inma eounty. which is destined to become one o' richest and most prosperous counties I" Arizona.
 + lies between 320 O0' and 34' 20' north atitude and ll30 2O' and ll40 40' vest longitude. It contains 6.4SS, 32O acres. It ss about as large as the States ot Rhode Island. Connecticut and Delaware com bised. or as large as either New Hampshire Vermont or Massachusetts.
 The western boundary of Yuma County is formed by the Colorado river, which ye,,arates Arizona from California. The county is bounded on the north by Williams Fsrk and tue Santa Maria uver, whose waters flow into the Colorado; on the east 6v the counties of Pima, Maricopa and Yavapai. and on the south by Sonora mexieo. Its county seat is the town ot Yuma.
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter r;4orv oi Arizona, and every drop ct water xrhich falls on its mountains and plains 6nSs its way to this mighty rIver. It Is formed by the union of the Green ana Grand rivers, fed by the streams which ,yse in the Rocky Mountains, and the melt ,cc snows cause a greater depth Of water ;n this riy ..r III summer than Tn winter. thus sn-nisbing the most water at the season when it is most required for the purposes irrigation and agriculture.
 # will be seen that for the entire distance ,enO its western boundary, Yuma County noses ses the great advantage ot cheap water transportation.
 The Gila river rises III the western part of New Mexico and is fed by numerous streams, among the most prominent ot which arc the San Pedro, Agua Frla, Has, sayampa and Salt rivers. It flows west through Yuma County and empties into the Colorado at the town Of Yuma.
 Yuma county, traversed by these great rivers from it's northern to its southern and from it's eastern to its western bound aries. pogscsses a far greater water supply Ttan any other county in the Territory, and far more than can be found in all Call fernia.
 This water is now being diverted from its natural channels by means of numerous tsrce irrigating canals, and utilized for the purpose of reclaiming and imig"ti ting tn immense tracts of lands which lie m this favored country, and which are as fertile az any in the world.
 The Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the y-oIoro6o river it the town of Yuma and rms through the county, following the rcnerol course. and at an average distance of about four miles south, of the Giia IT CT, rendering all the lands susceptible Of irri- cation and cultivation, can find an easy outlet in this way and can be transpo' ted as)l the markets and centers of population in the East or West.
 Another competing railroad is projected from. San. Diego. California. to tie to"n of Yuma, ard thence along the north side of the Gila rfve- .,IEhus Yuma County will awe exceptional railroad advantages.

 The statement in this article on Yuma county are not exaggerated; II fact they fal short of doing justice in this woaderful bit of country. Pineatp!es, dates, almonds and waluuts will do well Strawberries. rasp- berries, black berries, GU I'd ts, goose berries, and all varieties of small fruits can be suc- cessfuliy cultivated. Indeed, Yuma County is hot only the natural home of the citrus and selnitropical fruits, as almost every fruit, nut, plant, grain, grass, or vegetable which ca.: he produced in either tropic of temperate zones Will thrive in the rich and fertile soils.
