AUGUST NUMBER OF
 THE BORDER" ON SALE
A Magazine Published in Phoenix and
 Devoted to the Borderland.

"The Border" which stands as a representative of the great American plateau, vividly typifying the West in action. has just placed its August number on the market. A number that is entirely different from any previous one, both as to appearance and to the articles in it. It takes up the territory on mining lines more than any other feature, although the ideal climate and wonderful pos abilities both now and in the future are touched upon in several articles. The fiction is good, well handled and decidedly not of the handed down va riety as to narration. A typical per iodical of the border, of the frontier, of the front rank. The cover states that the Statehood number will be out on January 1.
 A reprint of an editorial follows:
 "Visitors to Phoenix first viewing the beautiful green valley in which the city lies, extending many miles in either direction, are impressed with the great agricultural possibilities They are heard to eXclaim: "Why, thought this was a desert country" or This cant be Arizona!" First the attention is attracted by the discontin uance of mesquite and the beginning of fields of alfalfa; then the great senti- ! mel trees, towering green and majestic, ! the water ditches and the ranch houses, and droves of contented cattle. . On every hand just such scenes of rural peace and plenty as you would expect to encounter in Illinois, Mis- souri and Kansas. Then the further ! comparison: This Arizona land is one of eternal sunshine-no grim prepara- | tion for winter with it's months of in ] door Information when the ground is ! frozen and dead. but an all the year round land of delightful climate and enduring yield. The new state of Ari- zona, throbbing with activity on every | hand, with a constitution moulded | from the experience of every state in | the union, and having the best inter | ests of the people in view, should be | the rallying ground of many thousand l homesteaders within the next year" A magazine that ought to have more | home support, for it is worthy and | is fighting a battle worth while. Like | the Earth" the Border is the herald to those in the east, along the coast 1 and everywhere that there is a won derful country in the wilds of Arizona | that cannot be equallel anywhere in | the universe.
 l Kate Cory writes one of a resier of articles on the Hopi race of Indians, Life and Its Living in Hopiland." The Hopi is an Indian that because of | peculiarities makes strong reading on those who are interested in personali- ties and nationalities.
