pleasant for me to take exercise i'll the
open air at some time or other during
the day. Ofcourse there were good

that were 'showery;' but during the five

Arizona is the land OF the sunshine.
"The nights throughout the winter are
apt to be cool enough for wood tres
and blankets. Half the time an over
coat is not needed during the day, but it
is never prudent for stranger to be
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singularly clear,
tonic and dry. have never seen it
clearer anywhere in the world. 1t seems
TO have about the same bracing and ex
hilarating qualities as the air OF the
great Sahara i'll northern Africa or OF
the desert about Mount Sinai, in Arabia
Patraea. 1t is much drier than any part
of the valley of the Nile north of Gatar-
act. 1t seems to me about the same III
quality as the air on the Nile between
Assouan and Wady Halfa, but some
what cooler.
"As to food, there is plenty, and it is
good. From here the markets of Los
Angeles, and even of d, nvci are largely
supplied. Good beef, mutton and poul-
try are plenty and cheap. Quail, ducks
and venison from the vicinity can also
be had. Vegetables and fruits are abund'
ant in their season, and sometimes the
season is long one. 1t is the one coun-
try have lived in where straw berries
ripen in the open air ten months in the
year. have had them on my table
fresh picked from the open gardens at
Christmas.
The man who goes to any consider

southwest derived from novels, or from
The Arizona Kicker, will be greatly mys-
tilted. He will find as many churches
as in towns ofcorrcsponding sizein Penn

school houses, and yet he will find plenty
az iouor shops, too, and gambling
houses, and vet be will see little disorder
