 In the Garden Spot of the West,

Pinal county was organized in 1875 from portions of Pima, Maricopa and 1avapaI counties, and contains an area of 5,S66 square miles, or 3,4S5,52O acres, one-third of which could be made productive by systematic storage Cf the surplus water now running to waste. Next to Maricopa it is the most inn portant agricultural county inthe Terri&ory It it traVersed from east to west by the Southern Pacific railroad and a branch of the great Santa Fe system is now approach. ing from the north. The objective point of this road is a connection with the Sonora road, of the same system. The Southern Pacific is also building in this direction tsom Tempe, and it is confidently believed that work will not cease until the Deer Creek coal fields are reached and connection Is made with another branch of that road run ming from Bowie to Globe and now complet- ed to Fort Thomas.
 Thus it will be seen that Pinal county Is the theater of railroad building at the pres ent time, and inside of year Florence, the county seat, will be

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- Eona. Great changes have been made in the appearance of this part of the valley during the last four years. 1t 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 ike suifi- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land
 THE CASA GRANDE VALLEY CANAL is forty three miles in length and covers 5000 acres of land, about 1000 of which are under cultivation, It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and its capacity in creased. A reservoir covering 16o0 acres, having storage capacity of eight billion gal Ions, in the southeast corner of township 5, range 8, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below it, but those above suffer by shortage of water during few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con- struction of huge reservoir at the Bnttes, fifteen miles northeast of Florence. Com potent engineers have examined and reported upon the scheme and pronounce it feasible.

 In fact. in a residence of sixteen years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and fhey recovered. Their condition, however was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that registered 4emperature of no degrees is not as oppres- sive as 30 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized 4his fact, and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fulls 30 degrees.
