UNTOUCHED BY FROST.

Orange and lemon trees require slight protection during the winter for year or two, until the wood is sufficiently hardened,
 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 sufi- cient water to irrigate this vast body of l land.
 1 THE CASA CYANIDE VALLEY CANAL l is forty three miles in length and covers COCO acres of land, about 1000 of which are under cultivation. It is so constructed that ] it can be easily enlarged and its capacity in- creased. reservoir covering 1.6OO acres having storage capacity of eight billion gal ] tv, 4I<e -rs f range 9, gives ample supply of water the year round to all farmers located below it but those above suffer by shortage oi water during few weeks in summer.
 It is proposed to remedy this by the con struction of a huge reservoir near San Carlos. which would stcrc 2s!, ,s9s acre-fees of water, capable of irrigating 140,698 acres of land. All of this land would be in the vicinity of Florence. The estimated cost oi the dam is S1 .038, ,926. This survey was made by order of Congress, for which S20,O00 was appropriated. Mir. J. D. Schuyler, of Los Angeles. the noted irrigation engineer, fully verifies Mr. Lippincott's report, and strong ly urges upon Congress the duty of con- structing the work. dam 200 feet ir height, which Er. Schuyler considers per- fectly feasible, would store 550,O0O acre-feei of water and the reservoir would have life of sixty-threeye years without dredging. The report says: Tn the event of the construc. tion of this dam there will be built up in the valley of the Gila river where desert now exists a community of fully 4OOOO souls and the creation of many million dollars of tax. able wealth without permanent outlay or the part of the Government" A bill is now before Congress for the construction of tho work, and there is little doubt of its passage when it's merits become known.

the indefensible position of doing noth- ing itself or allowing any one else to improve this great natural reservoir site.
 2. We firmly believe that the inter- ests of humanity dictate that the h. dians should be gathered on the reser- vations, have lands allotted to them in severalty, and that they be furnished with farming implements and an mex. haustible supply of water for irrigation of their lands, to the end that they may become self supporting. By this means will a home life be furnished for the Indian and he will more rapidly advance in civilization as a conse- ouence. He will abandon his nomadic life; his children will be kept at home and educated in neighborhood schools, instead of being sent to large Indian schools at a distance where they are kept Gas it would seemN for mere purposes of show. After being in- structed in the arts of civilization for a time they are returned to savagery, to become more unhappy and diseon- tented than if they had never received the questionable advantages. We feel that the present policy of the Indian department is all wrong in this regard
 3. The Pima and Maricopa Indian reservation contains $50, 900 acres of as fertile land as lies within the bound, aries of Arizona, and is admirably adapted for homes for these people, as well as the wandering Papagoes, who are now compelled to prey upon ths herds of our farmers and ranchmen fol | subsistence.
 4. The construction of a storag, reservoir at the Buttes by the Govern ment offers a plain business proposi ton for the correction of these evils

HOUSE MEMORIAL NO. 4.
To the Senate and House of Representa- tives of the United States in Con-
 cress 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 llth 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, 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 a 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- tion 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. $. 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 lhdi8n 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 a 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:
 l. 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

Information for Those Seeking Homes
 In the Garden Spot of the West.

Final county was organized in 1875 from portions of Pima, Maricopa and Yavapai counties, and contains an area of 5, ,s6s square miles, or S,4S5,520 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 branch of the great Santa Fe system is now ap- preaching from the north. The objective point of this road is connection with the Sonora road, of the same system. The Southern Pacific Is also building in this direction from Tempe, and it is confidently believed that work will not cease until the Deer Creek coa, 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 1t will be seen that Pinal county is the theater of railroad building at the pres ent time, and inside of a year Florence, the county seat, will be

PRICES OF 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
 ins 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 ct a 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

WOMAN BUFFALO HERDER.
and EIa3 Hundred on Her Texas Ranch.

Mrs. Mary A. Goodnight. of Good night, Tex, enjoys the distinction of being the only woman in the world who owns a herd of buffaloes. There are 100 in the herd, more than half of which iire pure bred, the remainder being ''cataloes." as a cross between a buffalo and Galloway COW is called. writes E. J. Davison, in the Ladies Home Journal The cataloes have the same hump as the bufraloes, and shaggy hair, but their color varies from jet black to light brown, and they are most readily distinguished from the pure bred by their horns, which are longer. The cataloes are also much more tractable, and can soon be taught to eat out of ones hand. But the full-blood buffaloes- of the Goodnight herd at least-never repose full confluence in man. Big and powerful as they are they are timid and run away at the slightest alarm, although they have taken food from their owners hand from the opposite side of a fence; nor will they attack unless wounded or driven into close quarters. Even with this repu- tation for timidity Mrs. Goodnight does not regard the pure bred buffa- loes as trustworthy, and does not consider it safe to go among them on foot. Mrs. Goodnight also has herd of 15 elks. In the great park, two square miles in area, each animal herds with his kind. Even the pure blood buffalo looks with royal con tempt upon his plebelan hai1-brother. the catalo, and the two keep wide apart in separate and distinct groups

A RAILROAD CENTER.

At present it contains a population of bout i5OO. but with the completion of these
 railroads and the San Carlos reservoir no city in Arizona can approach it for natural advantages, and u large increase in popula- tion will follow. Florence is at an elevation of l492 feet above sea level, situated near the Gila river. twenty-six miles northwest of the railroad station of Casa Grande with which it is connected by an elegantly equipped daily stage line. Going and con- ing stages run by the old Casa Grande ruins, and passengers are allowed 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, 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 Pima counties. The streets are lined with shade trees. which impart an air of com fort on the warmest days.

euNsrEoKE IS UNKNOWN.

In fact, in residence of twenty 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 llO 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 aRd 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,

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 of the 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 q 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 few date palm trees are also full bearing. The season is from six

It covers surface of 1900 acres, with an average depth of F feet, and contains about eight thousand million gallons of water. It is situated fifteen miles south west of Florence. ievee of earth has been thrown up across q depression in the. plain 14,0OO feet in length. 125 feet in width at the bottom and 25 feet in width at top. to slope on each side, and an average height of 25 feet.
