The steps were SO narrow
that the procession had to
move up in Indian file; three
men with bags, then the
Prince and the clerk, fol-

platform, projecting from a

a man in uniform sat be-

burned an oil lamp with a

brazier containing glowing

fashion, and the officer was
holding his two hands over
it, and rubbing them to-

Yet here. as in the north the eli

Unlike the next door neighbOr. Cali

most unheard OF thing. Arizona has a
distinct summer rainy season. which
usually begins about July I and may
extend to the middle OF September or
later. The rain is not continuous or
unpleasant. but merely a series OF
heavy showers that in a few days
transform the country into a great
green garden. so that Arizona has
really two springs in her year. and the
most beautiful one follows the summer
rain.

statehood is the satisfactory progress

The New York sun lately printed
the following concerning this territory:
OF all the misapprehensions current
about Arizona there is none more alb

have been taken from the much quoted
old poem which describes how
The Devil was given permission one
day
To make him a land OF his own special
sway;
He heated it seven times hotter than
And then declared it would do very
well.
In the average opinion Arizona is hot
all Of it and all the time. There are
no mitigating spots or seasons IN which
to cool off.
But the truth is that the climate of
Arizona is So varied that man may,
by a few miles travel. choose what he
likes as much as if it We're made to

is a great plateau. ranging from $500
to 1900 feet in altitude. crossed and

reaching up to the eliminating peak of
san Francisco. $4,000 feet above the
sea.
Throughout this region the climate
