Unlike the Salt river. the waters of the Gila are fresh and pure; the soil contains no alkali. is 2 deep, rich gray ash, especial ly adapted to the growth ofthe prune, olive. almond, peach. fig, pear, apricot and fruits of all kinds, which pay largely on the invest ment. It Is also the natural home of alfalfa. which grows in the most prolific manner. The grape does exceptionally well in this valley. and wine and raisin culture is destin-
 to become prominent industry. Citrus fruits have been cultivated to a limited ex- tent; there are a number of orange trees in the neighborhood of Florence which bear their golden fruit each year without pro- tection. and a few date palm trees are also full bearing. The season is from six
 eeks to two months earlier than Southern California. which gives fruit growers an appreciated advantage in

 2. We firmly believe that the inter- ests of humanity dictate that the In dians should be gathered on the reser- yations, have lands allotted to them in severalty, and that they be furnished with farming implements and an inex- haustible supply of water for irrigation of their lands, to the end that they nay become self supporting. By this means will a home life be furnished for the Indian and he will more rapidly advance in civilization as conse- quence. He will abandon his nomadic life; his children will be kept at home and educated in neigh borhood schools, instead of being sent to large Indian schools at distance where they are kept Gas it would seem) for mere purposes of show.

Information for Those Seeking Homes
 h the Garden Spot of tbe West.

Pinal county was organized in 1875 from portions of Pima, Maricopa and Yayapai counties, and contains on area of 5.s6s square miles, or s,4ss,S20 acres, one-third of which could be made productive by systematic storage of the surplus water now running to waste. Next to Maricopa it is the most important agricultural county in the Terri tory. It is traversed from east to west by the Southern Pacific railroad. and a branch of the great Santa Fe system is now ap- preaching 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 from Tempe, and 1t is confidently believed that work will not cease until the Deer Creek coal fields are reached and con- nection Is made with another branch of that road running from Bowie to Globe and now completed to Fort Thomas.
 Thus it will be seen that Pinal county Is the theater of railroad building at the pres ent time, nnd inside of year Flqrence, the county seat. will be

HOUSE MEMORIAL NO. 4.
To the Senate and House of Representa- tives of the United States in Con-
 oress Assembled.

We, your Memorialists, the Nine teenth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, respectfully rep resent that the National Irrigation Congress, held in Phoenix, Arizona, on the 11th of December, A. D. 1896, unan- imously adopted the following:
 Whereas, The Pima and Maricopa Indians, tribes numbering in the aggregate ten thousand souls. have been deprived of the waters used by them in irrigation before the advent of the white race in America, through the appropriation of such waters by settlers on the headwaters of the Gila river; and
 Whereas. Through the loss of such waters the lands once cultivated by these tribes have become barren and worthless, and the members of such tribes have become charge on the Government and forced by the loss of their fields into lives of degrada- tion and penury and
 Whereas, Such tribes have from the ear- Hest days been the friends and allies of the white race and
 Whereas. The people of the United States have pledged themselves by solemn treaty to protect such tribes in their property and property rights; and
 Whereas, The Government of the United States has and now is engaged in the ex- penditure of hundreds of thousands of dol lars for the construction of works of irriga- tiou for the reclamation of lands belonging to other Indian tribes; therefore, be it
 Resolved, That this Congress do approve the proposed construction. under the plans of the U. s. Geological Survey. of the Buttes reservoir. in Pinal county, Arizona recently reported. to again reclaim the lands of these tribes, believing that by so doing can the Government alone honorably redeem the broken pledges made by it to these people, and thus preserve from further want and degradation two of the surviving Indisn tribes of the American continent that have always been the constant friends of the white race.
 Resolved, That we approve the proposed construction of such reservoir not only as just and philanthropic. but as economical and good policy. as in a comparatively shor. time the expense of maintaining such In- dians as Government charges will far exceed the cost of the irrigation works required to make them self-supporting and self-re- specting community.
 New, therefore, your Memorialists, the Nineteenth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Arizona, desire to go on record as earnestly endorsing the above recommendations of the Sixth National Irrigation Congress for the following reasons:
 1. The reservoir site referred to having been withdrawn iron entry by Government authorities, cannot now be utilized by any private corporation and the Government therefore occupies

MAKES WOMEN COARSE.
Safely Among the Rock. Jozr- nalism Places in Her Path.

lnreply to a letter sent by Edward Box to representative men and women journalists of this country asking, ''Is the newspaper office a place for girl ?" a leading woman writer and editor says, in the Ladies Home Journal: For young girl consider newsps- per office the most appalling moral eye-opener imaginable. Naturally. where all subjects are published, they are to a great degree discussed, and < woman must hear things that nc amount of chivalry from her masculine coworkers can prevent That boa eamaradeTie, which 6 woman Of the world understands and can cope with is often the undoing of the young girl who grows fippant and unwomanly ih her desire to be regarded favorably by members of the staff"
 4 leading editor in replying 10 the same question embodies in his letter the opinions of the 2o other men who also answer the inquiry negatively: 1t depends upon the girl it is said And it does. But so much dependsupon her, she is asked to saFry- so much, she is required to be so everlastingly on the defensive, that there isn't one girl in 20 who can safely steer across all the rocks she meets.

UNTOUCHED BY FROST.

Orange and lemon trees require slight l 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, 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 shis 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 sufi- cient water to irrigate this vast body of land.
 THE CASA GRAsDE VALLEY CANAL
 is forty y-three miles in length and covers 60.OO0 acres of land, about 1000 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and it's capacity in- creased. reservoir covering 1900 acres, having storage capacity of eight billion gall Ions, in the southeast corner of township 6, range g, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below it, but those above suffer by a shortage of water during a few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con- struction of Q huge reservoir near San Carlos, which would store s1.S96 acre-feet of water, capable of irrigating 14O6ss acres of land. All of this land would be in the vicinity of Florence. The estimated cost of l the dam is s1 .0Ss. .026. This survey was made | by order of Congress for which S2O.OOO was appropriated. Mir. J. D. Schuyler, of Los Angeles. the noted irrigation engineer, fully veriies Mr. Lippineott's report, and strong ly urges upon Congress the duty of con structing the work. A dam POO feet in height, which Xr. Schuyler considers per- fectly feasible, would store 550.0OO 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- tion of this dam there will De built up in the valley of the Gila river where desert now exists, a community of fully 4o.OOO souls and the creation of many million dollars of tax able wealth without permanent outlay on the part of the Government" bill is now before Congress for the construction of the work. and there is little doubt of its passage when it's merits become known.

suNsTRoKE IS UNKNOWN.

In fact, in residence of twenty -one years in Arizona the writer has only known two persons to be overcome by the heat, and they recovered. Their condition. however. was more the result of whisky than heat. The air is so dry here that a registered temperature of 1l0 degrees is not as oppres- siye as 80 degrees in St. Louis or New York. The Signal Service bureau has recognized this fact, and reports the difference between the apparent and sensible temperature to be fully 30 degrees. At nearly all times there is pleasant breeze; the nights are invari- ably cool in the summer. and outdoor labor is performed without serious discomfort to either man or beast on the warmest days. Very seldom does the thermometer get be- low the freezing point in winter, and in the gardens of Florence to-day are castor bean plants two years or more old,

A RAILROAD CENTER.

At present it captains a population of
 bout 1SO0. but with the completion of these
 railroads and the San Carlos reservoir no city in Arizona can approach it for natural advantages. and Q large increase in popula- tion will follow. Florence Is at an elevation of ll92 feet above sea level, situated near the Gila river. twenty-six miles northwest of the railroad station of Casa Grande, with which 1t is connected by an elegantly equipped daily stage line. Going and com- ing stages run by the old Casa Grande ruins and passengers are allowed a short time to inspect them. There are many handsome private residence in Florence, several brick stores, good hotel, an excellent graded school employing four teachers, churches,
 ecret societies, a Commercial Club. two newspapers. and the handsomest court house in the Territory. Here is held the United States Court for the district composed of Gila, Graham and Pinal counties. The streets are lined with shade trees. which impart an air of com fort on the warmest days.

THE EARLY MARKETS.

The absence of fogs and nightly dews is ormidable obstacle to the destructive and unsightly scale-bug. and the fruits of the valley are all bright and clean. All the agri- ,i1ltural products of temperate and semi tropic zones are easily grown here. the long seasons giving a succession of crops that double or treble the productive value fthe land.

CASA CYANIDE RESERVOIR.

The reservoir of the Casa Grande Valley Canal company is the largest in the terri tory. It covers a surface of 1900 acres, with an average depth of 12 feet, and contains about eight thousand million gallons of water. It is situated fifteen miles south west of Florence. A levee of earth has been thrownup across 9 depression in the plain l4.OOO feet in length, l2s feet in width at the bottom and g feet in width at top, ? to slope on each side, and an average height of 25 feet. The waste is regulated by 3 cast iron pipes 3 feet in diameter, set in solid masonry, regulated by gates and tower. This reservoir cost Sl5o,DOO, and supplies water for 6.DOO acres.

PRICES or LAND.

Improved lands, with government title and water right, can be bought for from S2O to $50 per acre. according to location and im- provements. In the immediate neighbor- hood and to the south of the Casa Grande
 fms there are thousands of acres covered with a heavy growth of mesquite timber yet open to settlement. These are among the choicest in the valley. Water in inexhausti- ble quantity is found at depth of from twenty to thirty feet; in fact, river seems to be flowing underneath. Here is splen- did opportunity to take up and improve land with pumping system of irrigation. which is said to be successful on small tracts.
 However. with the completion of the San Carlos reservoir, pumping will be thing of the past, and it is only mentioned here for the purpose of showing what can be done, and to magnify the further fact that what was once considered

made no eoneealment OF the fact that he
was on the walpath with vicious look
II his eye and strong longing for the
Secretary's scalp. He claimed to be sup

upon putting his men in, instead of Ker-
ems. He said among other things that
Commissioners Evans had appointed. at

Examining Surgeons of the Pension
Boards, but that Secretary Hitchcock had
removed these. and appointed "inferior

favored would be excellent" while
Hitcheock's choice would necessarily be
inferior" Kerens made no secret of his
determination to have Hitchcock retired
from the Cabinet, and boasted of the in

him with steady eountenance, and told
him to go to. Among those behind the
