paved and are badly torn up; with the many buildings under way and the street work one is impressed Eith the fact that there is some thing doing every minute in the way of improvement. much of the work is continued night and day.
 Business men at Globe said that business had been dull there during the summer, but there were evi- dences of some recent building. Globe made wonderful strides sever al years ago and is now a modern city with all the required public utilities owned by the city and be- ing well managed. The Arizona Eastern has done much work dur. ing the past year and is stili work ing large forces in ballasting the road, which is now in excellent shape.
 Rains Do Damage.
 There has been great deal of rain all through southern Arizona during the last two weeks and in some places real cloudbursts have been in evidence, doing much dam age to the roads.
 The Gila valley between Pima and Solomonville is one of the beauty spots of Arizona and the crops there have been splendid during the year Good roads have been provided through the valley and a drive oveI them impresses one that the farm CTS are prosperous and that the country is continually growing rich CT. Fields of alfalfa, grain, corn and orchards all are visible testi- mony of the present prosperity.
 AgrIeslture in Valley. At Wilcox there are evidences of recent growth and a splendid high school building was completed dur ing the year which is now occupied for the first time. The people there were all joyous over the splendid success of the fair held last week. The exhibits at the fair were most creditable and showed the pos abilities of the north end of the Sulphur Springs valley for sgricul- tural development; one cabbage head exhibited at the fair weighed 5S pounds and was a revelation to all who attended the fair.
 Coming down from Wilcox sev- eral good crops were seen growing The trip from Wilcox was via the Light settlement on the east side of the valley. Here is marvelously rich portion of the valley and it is settled by many who have taken homestead and desert entries. The rains did not come early enough to make good crops this year, but sui ficent has been demonstrated in that section to show conclusively that scientific dry farming methods will win there in the end and bring prosperity to one of the prettiest localities in the valley. This side of Light several ranches were pass ed where2 good crops of sorghum and kaffir corn were growing and at one place a good crop of some ten acres of Indian corn was grow ing with good, substantial ears on almost every stock and two on some of them.
 | The Cadillac machine proved it. self to be reliable during the entire trip and on the good portions of the road splendid time was made. It never failed to do it's own crank ing a single time and pulled itself through deep sand where a wagon team could not have gone. Wher. ever it was stopped on the streets of the city it was surrounded by many machine owners and was praised as one of the most complete automobiles ever exhibited in the Eterritory.
