TIE cAsA CYANIDE VALLEY CANAL

is forty-three miles in length and covers 60 1000 acres of land, about 7,oO9 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and it's capacity in creased. A reservoir covering 1900 acres, having storage capacity of eight billion gall lons in the southeast corner of township G.. range 9, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below it. but those above suffer by q shortage of water during few weeks in summer.
 1t is proposed to remedy this by the con- struction of a huge reservoir near San Carlos, which would store 2si .s96 acre-feet of water, capable of irrigating ll0,69s acres of land. All of this land would be in the vicinity of Florence. The estimated cost of the dam is St. .Oss, ,926. This survey was made by order of Congress. for which S200o0 was appropriated. Mir. J. D. Schuyler. of Los Angeles, the noted irrigation engineer, fully vcrifes Mr. Lippincott's report, and strong y urges upon Congress the duty of con structiHg the work. A dam 200 feet in height. which Mr. Schuyler considers per fectly feasible, would store 550,o00 acre-feet of water and the reservoir would have life of sixty three years without dredging. The report says: In the event of the construc- ton of this dam there will be built up in the valley of the Gila river, where a desert now exists, community of fully 4o,0O0 souls and the creation of many million dollars of tax able wealth without permanent outlay on the part of the Government" A bill is now before Congress for the construction of the .rark and there is little doubt of it's passage when its merits become known.

UNTOUCHED BY FROST.

Orange and lemon trees require slight protection during the winter for year or two, until the wood is sufficiently hardened,
 While 1t is popular thing for one to say that he is mot here for his health," it is an undisputed fact that for all pulmonary ail- ments no climate on earth is equal to south ern Arizona, aud there are numbers of active, industrious citizens, with bat one lung, who came here years ago, expecting to live but a few weeks. But for all that, the wonderful Casa Grande valley is some thing better than health resort.
 That portion of the great Casa Grande valley lying along the line of the Southern 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 ten 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 suii- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land.
