New York Tribune ol. Arizona in Win
Ter, among othei says During
ahVe months resid = southern Ariz-
ona IN winter the xas. but one day
when the weather made il actually un.
pleasant for me to take exercise in the
open air at some time or other during
the dav. Ofcourse there were a good
many days which a wealth. observer
would describe as cloudy ana some
that were 'showery;' but during the FIVE
months (trom November, 1895 to May,
1866 there were only four davs when
we did not have brilliant sunshine at
some time during the dav. Even more
than Egyps. anywhere north of Luxor,
Arizona is the land of the sunshine.
THE nights throughout the winter are
apt TO be cool enough for wood nres
and blankets. Half the time an over
coat is not needed during the day. but il
is never prudent for stranger TO be
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singuIarly clear,
tonic and dry. | have never seen it
ckarer anywhere III the world. Il seems
to have about the same bracing and ex
hilaratlng qualities as the air OF the
great Sahara in northern Africa or OF
the desert about Mount Sinai. in Arabia
Patraea. tits much drier than anv part
of the valley of the Nile north of Gatar-
act. 1t seems to me about the same in
quality as the air on the Nile between
Assouan and Wady Halta, but some
what cooler,
"As to food, there is plenty, and it is
good. From here the markets of Los

and venison from the vicinity can also

ant in their season, and sometimes the
season is a long one. 1t is the one coun-
try have lived in where straw berries
ripcn in the open air ten months i'll the
year, have had them on my table,
fresh picked from the open gardens, at
Christmas.
THE man who goes to any consider
able Arizona town with the idea OF the
southwest derived from novels, or from
The Arizona Kicker, will be greatly mys-
tilted. He will find as many churches
as in towns corresponding size IN Penn
sylvania or Ohio, and probably more
school houses, and yet he will tindplenty
of liquor shops, too, and gambling
houses, and YET he will see little disorder
unless he hunts late at night for it, and
he will find community OF ten thou
sand people requiring iii the daytime
only one policeman, and very little oc-
cupation for him."
DR.. A. W. Olcott, health officer Of Tue
son. says:--"The climate of Tucson Is
characterized by pure, dry, invigorating
air; small amount of rainfall, and an
eycr-shiniug sun. 1t is surrounded by
mountains which cut of the chilling
winds OF winter, and the dreaded sand
storms of most arid regions. Its south
etn position gives it a mild winter eli
mate. These conditions render pleasant
an out-ot-door life the entire year. and
hermit those suffering from lung and
bronchial diseases daily exercise and life
in the open air. This treatment. III spite
of numbcrless cures for consumption, cX
ploited monthly, stands first IN the CON
fidence of the people and of the medical
profession as the best single means
known of combating the dread disease,
tuberculosis. The out-of-door life. with
