Hon. Whitelaw Reid, in his journal, the
New York Tribune "a Arizona in Vim
ter, among othel $ SAYS" During
a tive months reSid southern Ariz-
ona in winter the Sas but one day
when the weather made il actually un-
pleasant for ne to take exercise in the
open air at some time or other during
the dav. OF course there were n good
uiany days which a weather observer
would describe as cloudy, ana some
that were 'showery: but during The five
months from November 1895 to May,
1So6l there were only four days when
we did not have brilliant sunshine AT
some time during the dav. Even more
than Egypt. anywhere north of Luxor
Arizona is the land OF the sunshine.
The nights throughout the winter are
apt 10 be cool enough for wood nres
and blankets. Halt the time an over
coat is not needed during the day, but it
is never prudent for a stranger to be
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singularIy clear,
tonic and dry. / have never seen it

TO have about the same hracing and ex
hiiaratlng qualities as the air of the
great Sahara in northern Africa or OF
the desert about Mount Sinai, i'll Arabia
Patraea 1t is much drier than any part
OF the valley of the Nile north OF Catar-
act. 1t seems to me about the same in
quality as the, air on the Nile between
Assouau and Wady Halfa. but soriie.

"As to food. there is plenty, and it is
good. From here the markets oi Los
Angeles. and even OF D,uv are largely
supplied. Good beet. mutton and poul-
try are plenty and cheap. Quail, ducks
and vcnison from the vicinity can also
be had. Vegetables and fruits are ahund-
ant in their season, and sometimes the
season is "A long one II is the one coun-
