AS to food, there is plenty. and it is
good. From here the markets OF Los
Angeles. and even of b, ntci are largely
supplied. Good beef, mutton and poul'

The Arizona Kicker will he greatly mys-

as ia towns otCorrcspondings size in Penn

houses. and vet he will see little disorder

he will find community ol ten thou-

only one policeman, and very little oc- |

DR.. Harrison 4 Stroud says of the !
Climate OF Arizona The summers are |
hot. There are some warm days i'll May, |
gradually increasing into June. and from |
then on until the end OF August the ther
mometrr ranges high, but with Septem
bcr comes cooler days and nights.
The heat is peculiar; it ~ never close |
md oppressive; there is never sense OF
snfiocation. The summers are the most |
healthful period of the year, The dry |
heat oxidizes and desiccates refuse mat |

among children, in most countriesd during |
the summer. To my knowledge there |
has never been case of cholera intat, |
tum in the territory, nor has there been |
case of sunstroke, except drunkards |
incbriated at the time. 1t il thecommon |
custom to sleep out of doors from the |
middle ot May until September, and !
many las the writerl sleep out during |
the whole yerr, There are not five days |
in the whole year hut the most delicate |
invalid can spend part of the day, at |
least, out of doors. In this climate in
Iuries and wounds heal very rapidly; !
contagious diseases are usually very |
mild. There has been no epidemic, ex- |

of September to the FIRST OF May. are in
this locality the finest in the world. One
