given free, and the influence particul- larly of the latter is evidenced by the musical instruments played by skillful hands in nearly every home.
 To the south of Thatcher, towards the Graham mountain, lies the artes ian belt, where hundreds of acres, above the canals, are being irrigated by flowing wells.
 The Graham mountain, towering number of thousand feet above the valley, covered with pine timber and from whose sides cool rushing streams of water come forth, come in for good share of attention. In the sum mer-time a four-hours' ride from Thatcher will land you on top of this mountain, where in the hottest wealth CT below, a pair of blankets are ne cessary for ones comfort. During the warm months the mountain is quite thickly populated with campers from the valley many of them having built frame summer houses for occupancy. Continuing down the valley from Thatcher the train passes Central and Pima, which is the fourth city of inn portance in the valley. The valley is dotted with farms on until you pass Fort Thomas and reach the San Car los lndlan reservation. The Glla river through this valley Is a very uncer- tain quantity. If one were to visit the heads of the canals from it's source, he could not understand where all of the water comes from to irrigate this quite large valley. There are about a score of ditches. and each one drains the river in low seasons, but one-half mile or a mile below sufficient water comes to the surface for another canal and so on down to the last one, so that in ordinary seasons there is sufficient water to irrigate the entire valley. The valley has a splendid market for ev- erything it can raise in the mining camps of Clifton and Morenoi and Globe, and adjacent camps.
 In fact where one investigates half the advantages of the prosperous val ley. as well as the charms of its popu- lation, he is loath to leave it even to return to the Salt River Valley
 The Gila Valley has a great future before it, second only to that of the Salt River Valley. while it's spelendid local market, considering it's present production. really gives it first place.

JAPAN's MISFORTUNE.

 In Japan? When they put in all their cash And are therefore brought to grief When the market goes to smash, How do they obtain relief

EMPHATIC TALK
The Kind That Carries Conviction to
 Every Phoenix Reader.

Conviction must follow such empha- tic proof as is given here. The testi- mony Of Arizona residents should sat isfy the most skeptical. Here is a case. Read 1t and see if doubt can exist in the face of this evidence:
 N. s. Ballenger, freight conductor on the Southern Pacific R. R., residence 54 Council St. Tucson, Ariz., says: If pain across the small of the back late ly almost continual and very disagree able, which changed to sharp twinges if I stepped or strengthened after stooping, which resisted all my knowl- edge of medicine obtained from read ing or about which my friends advised. is any indication of kidney complaint, then I had attacks of it for many ears. In the winter of 1902, when suffering from a rather aggravated attack about which I was continually complaining a box of Doan's Kidney Pills was pro- cured for me at a drug store. l do not think I had a great deal of faith in the preparation. but much to my surprise and qualification they went directly to the cause of the trouble and stopped the last attack. I told Mrs. Ballenger after I had taken a dose or two that I knew they were a specific for kidney complaint. Doan's Kidney Pills is undoubtedly the best remedy ever tried"
 Just such emphatic endorsement can be had right here in Phoenix. Drop into the Brisley Drug Co.'s drug store and ask what their customers report.

MT. Wesley Dobson and family will move to Canada in a few days, where it is understood that he has purchased a large tract of land. Yesterday he commenced his move by vacating the building across from the lower school house where he has been living for several months. MT.

DATES DOING WELL.
Many of the Trees are Now in BIos- som and Good Crop is Expected.

Prof. Forbes of the University was up from Tucson Monday and on the next day made a trip to the date ranch south of the city. He reports the dates there in the best of condition and many of the trees are in blossom. With a reasonable amount of water a f1rst-class crop is assured this sea = son.
 After visiting the ranch he went to the Frankenberg place tc make ar engagements for fertilizing the blooms at the experimental farm with pollen from male trees at the former place. A peculiarity in the blossoming of the trees at the two different places is that at the date ranch the female trees bloom first and the male trees are con- siderably later, while at the Franken- berg place just the opposite is true, and the male trees are several weeks ahead of the female ones. On tn s account it is necessary to secure pol len from other trees.

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis ease for anyone to attempt to doctor himself. although he may have the proper remedies at hand. A physician should always be called. It should be borne in mind. however, that pneu- monia always results from a cold or from an attack of the grip, and by the proper treatment of these diseases a threatened attack of pneumonia may be warded off. There is no question whatever about this, as during the thirty years and more that Chamber lain's Cough Remedy has been used, we have yet to learn of a single case of a cold or attack of the grip having re- suited in pneumonia when this remedy was used. It is also used by physicians in the treatment of pneumonia with the best results. pr. w. J. Smith, of Sanders. Ala, who is also a druggist, says of 1t: "I have been selling Cham berlain's Cough Remedy and prescrib- ing it in my practice for the past six years. I use it in cases of pneumonia and have always gotten the best re- sults." Sold by all druggists.
