Cruz Valley, lies the City OF Tucson.
That it was first settled several centur-
les ago has little to do with what we
have to say here, but yet its story full
of adventure and romance lends an in
describable charm to the old town.
Evidences of Thrift antiquities
are, however, fast disappearing before
the march of progress. The adobe walls
that formed the battlemcnts of the old
Mexican Pueblo have crumbled away
and the mission ruins are falling to
pieces. Prominent public buildings,
churches, stores and handsome modern
residences have been erected with beauti- l.
ful gardens, flowers and shrubbery sur ,
rounding many ot the latter. Old streets
have been graded, new ones laid out, and /
other improvements made which give a
thrifty appearance TO the city
