THE COMING COUNTRY.

limits of Santa Cruz county, in region which stretches from the WhetstOne mountains, north of Elgin, to the international bound ary, there lies one of the finest fruit regions on the continent, which is attracting attention from practical orchardists, who are com ing almost constantly, making homestead locations and preparing for improvement upon a large scale. One practical fruit grower, with many years experience, is preparing at the present time to plant an orchard of two thousand apple trees; and since September there have been made more than score of homestead locations of 160 acres each, all by practical fruit growers, who are planning to plant in the near future upon a similar extensive scale. Over in what is known as "the Rain valley" lying south and west from the Milestone mountains, and north of the Ca nile ridge, and on the north flank of the Santa Ritas, are one hun dred and fifty sections of fine land, of which one hundred and ten are said to be suitable for fruit grow ing. That means homestead loca- tions for four hundred and forty families, and when subdivided, as they will be eventually, into forty acre orchard tracts, each support. ing family, there will be more than two thousand homes over there, with a population of ten thousand people. When all that is predicted comes to pass the region described will be one of the most pOpulous and wealthy in all Arizona and it will be the finest and best parts of Santa Cruz coun- ty. And on the south side of the Camille ridge. lying in the San Ra- fael valley, between the Huachuca and Patagonia mountains, is a similar highly favored region, which will rival the former in magnitude and importance. With the development that will follow within the next twenty-five or thirty years the two valleys named will support population of fifteen thousand or more, all supported by ahighly organized fruit growing industry. And there will be railroad from the Southern Pacific at Elgin right through to the Ga nanea railway at Zorrillo, just south of the international line at Lochiel.
 Nogales business men should awaken to what is growing right at their door, and get the trade of that region. Already it is of con. siderable importance; but it goes to Tucson and Bisbee, whose mer. chants are holding out special in- ducements in the way of prices and in supplyinp markets for the nro-

A NEW EDITION.

It is with a great deal of interest that we hear that a new edition of Mrs. Summerhayes' book relating to Arizona has just been issued from the press.
 Her story of the old days under the title of Vanished Arizona" has proved not only of interest to Ari- zonians, but it has been endorsed as an important contribution to literature and an original historical document. Many of the most ap- preciative letters and reviews the book has had have come from the East.
 Prof. Wm. Lyon Phelps, profes- sor of English literature at Yale University, writes her:
 "Dear Mrs. Summerhayes:
 l have read every word of your book with intense interest. You have given a vivid account of what you actually saw and lived through, and nobody can resist the truth. fitness and reality of your narrat- i've. The book is a real contribu- ton to American literature"
 The widespread circulation of this book, as is indicated by this second edition, will inevitably at- tract a great deal of attention to this State, on the part of the tour. ists and others. Her rare gift of making the readers see the things she writes about, will sti mulate a desire on the part of many to come to Arizona.
 It will be remembered Mrs. Sum- merhayes was the wife of an army officer, stationed at different army posts in Arizona in the seventies.
 A more extended review of the book will be found in another column.
The oasis., 1911-12-16

to make frequent visits to the region mentioned get into touch with the people there, study their wants and needs and aim to meet them, Santa Cruz county can make a city of Nogales. The business men of the line city ought to take advan- tage of the opportunity and meet the occasion.
