There is no water-storage scheme on the Pacific coast that has one half the natural advantages and so few en gineering difficulties as the San Carlos reser voir. Here nature has built the abutments in ever-living rock. and all that is left for man to do is to put in the headgate. the bluffs which form the gorge being only separated by paItry 22O feet. A country is drained through this narrow canyon 200 miles square, representing 49,9o0 square miles. or larger than Maine and Massechu- sets combined. The rainfall is sufficient to ill the reservoir twice a year, and the land to be brought under cultivation is practi- cally linitless. This may read like fairy tale. but is iseyery word true. and has been

 It is proposed to remedy this by the con- struction of a huge reservoir near san Carlos, which would stcre 25i,S95 acre-feet of water, capable of irrigating ,69S acres of land. All of this land would be in the vicinity of Florence. The estimated cost of the dam is S1 .Oss .s26. This survey was made by order of Congress. for which S2o,Oo0 was appropriated. Mir. J. D. Schuyler, of Los Angeles the noted irrigation engineer, fully verifes Mir.

Schuyler considers per- fectly feasible, would store 55O,000 aere-feet of water and the reservoir would have life of sixty three years without dredging. The report says: Tn the event of the construc- ton of this dam there will be built up in the valley of the Gila river. where desert now exists, a community of fully 40,0O0 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 work, and there is little doubt of it's passage when its merits become known.

 While it 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, and there are numbers of active, industrious citizens, with but one lung, who came here years ago, expecting to live but 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 suffi- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land.
