Awhite man first set foot on what is now Yuma County in l77l. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter ritory. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and ia few years ex- pect to see Yama County rated as the if hest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali toruia catches of Arizona is that ot the picturesque town of Yuma, which Is snugiy situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills. mon whose crests and sides the modern homes of our superior civilization sr. crowding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway o Arizona. the new empire of the West, upon whose undeveloped riches the eyes Of the country are at present turned, and as sucn' ;t is bound to grow and prosper with rapidity that at present can hardly be re- .li.ed. But coupled with her geograpf' cal position VIC find that she is the center ofa country whose agricultural pOssiblli- ties are practically unlimited being sur rounded by soil the fertility ot which .xoseds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting only water to become paradise of bloom.

ARIZONA.
It's Attractions and Advantages as q
 Place of Residence in Winter.

Whitelaw Reid. owner an editor of the New | ork Tribune, rho has spent the last two winters in Arizona for the benefit of his health, writes entertainingly and in structively concerning that rart of the country. Mir. Reid says:
 So many questions are asked about Ari- zona as place for winter residence, and there appears to be such dearth of pre- else information among many who are vitaIly interested, that it seems almost a public duty, to set down, in the simplest form, a few facts of personal observation.
 WEATHER.
 During a five months residence in Southern Arizona in winter there was but ore day when the weather made it actually unpleasant for me to take exercise ill the open air at some time or other during the day. Of course there were good many days which weather observer would de- scribe as "cloudy, md some that were "showery; but during these five months (from Mo- 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:
 TEMPERATURY.
 1 have seen the thermometer mark 92 degrees in the shade on my north piazza in March On the other hand, we had frosts which killed young orange trees, and there were several nights when thin ice formed. The government reports show a mean temperature for fourteen years at the pres- snt territorial capital of 574 degrees in November, 5 degrees in December, 49 de- grees in January, 54 degrees in February, 6l degrees in March and 66 degrees n

MINES.

There is no section of the United States, or probably of the earth, more rich in min eral wealth than the County of Yuma. al the country north, east and south of Yuma lies directly within the main gold belt that commences in Alaska and ends ill Mexico. From the San Bornardino mountains in California to the Sonora boundary line the mountains and hills are exceptionally rich in the precious metal, as though demonstrating the theory often advanced that the richest gold mines are found bordering the beds of

GEAR ON HARTNELL.

George D. Gear who returned by the
Nippon Maru thinks we shall have
territorial form of government, but
that the passage of the Hawaiian bill
will not be accomplished for some
months.
THAT we shall have a territorial
form of government" he says, Il have
no doubt. That we shall get it earlier
than several months hence l do not
believe. / am more than ever conVin-
ced it was a mistake for the govern
ment to have sent Gen. Hartwell, and
l believe Gen. Hartweu believes now
that 1t was, and would leave Washing
ton If he could. Senators and Repre-
sentatiVes look at the matter this way,
What interest has the government here
in advocating the report of the commits
sion or in urging every provision of the
bill accompanying it? The members
of the commission themselves are its
best advocates. There are some pro-
visions in the bill that are so repug-
nant to the political thought and hab-
its of congressman irrespective of
party, that for Gen. HartWell and w.
o. Smith to urge and advocate them,
gives character and substance to the
words OF CaypleSS ana Wilcox that per-
haps they would not have without II
One of these is the provision legislating
the judges into office and giving the
judges of the supreme court a life ten
ure of office. When that provision is
advocated with such pertinacity as 1t
is, 1t makes members suspicious of
other provisions in the bill, and con-
firms the belief that Hartwell and
Smith are merely lobbyists for the To-
cal government here. Then the con-
tlnued alterations between Hartwell
and Smith on one side and Little. Gavin
less and Wilcox on the other, before
the committee creates the impression
OF fractional fights, and delays matters.
The Cullom bill will pass, / think, but

be recognized but we will have a ter
ritorial form of government. AS To
Who will be the first governor l know

Richard W. Thompson is one of the
most striking figures in the political
history of Indiana. He has been a man
of influence in that state since the
thirties. He was elected to congress in
1S41 and was almost continuously IN
congress for nearly thirty years. He
was a man of homely phrase but sterl-
ing good sense, ready with apt illus
tration drawn from his experiences in
the life of the frontier. To him, as to
Lincoln and Gov. Richard j. Oglesby
of Illinois, the latter of whom he re-
sembled very much in personal APP
pearance, have been attributed many
telling, but for the most part apOcry-
phal stories. He was Secretary of the
Navy in President Hayes Cabinet, and
it is told of him in reference to his early
experiences as a fiat boat and steam
boat man on the Western rivers, that
the first time he went aboard a naval
vessel in his official capacity, he ex-
claimed to those with him, why, the
blamed things hollow"
In his later life he was an Industrious
writer on political and economic sub
jects. His most important work is "A
History of the Protective Tariff in the
United States"
