PRODUCTS OF THE VALLEY.

Unlike the Salt river, the waters of the Gila are fresh and pure; the soil contains no alkali is 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 destiu- cd to become prominent industry. Citrus fruits have been cultivated to limited ex- tent; there are number of orange trees in the neighborhopd of Florence which bear their golden fruit each year without pro- lection, and few date palm trees are also in full bearing. The season is from six weeks to two mouths earlier than Southern California. which gives fruit growers an appreciated advantage in

Orange and lemon trees require slight protection during the winter for year or two, until the wood is sufficiently hardened,
 While its 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 OUT present water system there is nothing like a sufi- eient 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 : ,o00 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that it can be easily enlarged and its capacity in- creased. A reservoir covering 1,600 acres. having storage capacity of eight billion gall Ions, in the southeast corner of township 6. range Q, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below 1t, but those above suffer by a shortage of water during few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con- struetion of huge reservoir near San Carlos, which would store 3si s3j acfe-seet of water, capable of irrigating Ii0,s9e acres of land. All of this land would be in the vicinity of Florence. The estimated cost of the dam is Sl, ,03s, ,926. This survey was made by order of Congress, for which S2O.O00 was appropriated. Mir. J. D. Schuyler, of Los Angeles. the noted irrigation engineer, fully verifies Mir. Lippincott's report. and strong ly urges upon Congress the duty of con structing the work. dam 200 feet in Leight. which xr. Schuyler considers per- fectly feasible, would store 550.000 acre-feet of water and the reservoir would have life of sixty-tkree 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 desert now exists, a community of fully 400O0 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 it's passage when it's merits become known.

CASA CYANIDE RESERVOIR.

The reservoir of the Casa Grande Valley Canal company is the largest in the terri tory, It covers surface of lGO0 acres, with on average depth of F 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 thrown up across depression in the plain 1i,0OO feet in length. l25 feet in width at the bottom and g feet in width at top, 2 to slope on each side, and an average height of 25 feet. The waste is regulated by cast iron pipes feet in diameter, set in solid masonry, regulated by gates and tower. This reservoir cost Sl500OO, and supplies water for 6O00 acres.

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.

The rainfall is sufficient to All the reservoir twice year, and the land to be brought under cultivation Is practi- cally limitless.

The absence of fogs and nightly dews is formidable obstacle to the destructive and unsightly seale-bug. and the fruits of the valley are all bright and clean.

Seth Low, District Attorney elect
Jerome and other candidates on the
Fusion ticket were literally overwhelhn-
ed today with messages of congratu-
lation from every section of the United
States, The overthrow of Tammany
Hall has seemingly aroused a feeling
of almost national eXultation. Low and
Jerome are in perfect harmony. and the
general opinion is that New York is on
the verge of a political house-cleaning
such as the great municipality has
never known before.
Low announced today that he would
make his appointments according to
merit and not with reference TO politi
cal influence or preference. For some
time prior TO election day, and especial
ly since it began to be apparent that
he was going to be elected, Low has
been overwhelmed with requests for Of
fees. In answer to all place-hunters
Low said today: Appointments viii
be based on merit and on merit alone.
I shall expect each commissioner to
consult me as TO the appointment of
deputies. but further than that he win
have a free rein to appoint his other
subordinates.
Every Commissioner will be held
responsible for the administration of
his particular department, and because
OF this fact. I shall leave him free. 1t
will be idle to make applications to me,

Low reiterated what he said before

would be down and out as soon as pos
slble after he takes Office. Devery has
assumed a defiant attitude, but the
politicians say he will cool off and re-
sign before the new administration
takes office, and thus secure a half
pay pension.

The election was a quiet one, succeed
ing such a hot campaign. The fight for
Tobin was hard one, but the result Is
believed to be the outcome of the heated
passions engendered by the recent strike.
From the time the first returns began to
come IN it was apparent that Schmitz
was to win. His strength showed all
over the citv. and 1t was early IN the
count that the partisans of Wells and
Tobin saw defeat and began to look
about for successes on other parts of the
ticket.
