A Delightful anil llralth diving Location.
Arizola is one of the latest and new
est additions to the towns of the Cni
ted States: yet it is already widely
known and ail over the country in
valids are looking toward the place as
well suited tor a place of residence
for health seekers. The altitude is
1 t.Vl feet above t he sea level and the
climate is dry and pleasant during
tlie entire year. iHiring the months
of .June, July and August tin average
temperature is about degrees, but
but there is so little humidity in the
atmosphere there is little or no incon
venience, experienced. The heat Is
not oppressive, and during these
months it is much more pleasant than
in the Atlantic seaboard cities.
This pleasing semi-tropical atmos
phere is probably owing to the sur
rounding physical conditions. To the
north and east high ranges of moun
tains protect the (treat C.isa (Jrande
valley, of which it is the center, from
t he chilling winds of the central re
gion, while across the open country to
the southwest, balmy breezes from the
(iulfof California, not far distant,
blow to temper the air and moderate
the heat, giving an equilibrium to the
climate that cannot fail to beneFt the
enervated health seeker.
While three of the summer months
are warm during the day, the nights
are always cool. This is on account
of the rariried condition of the atmos
phere which becomes instaatly cool
on the setting of the sun.
Hence it is .always comfortable to
sleep under clothing during the nights
of June July and August.
The fall, winter and spring months

clime, littl" or no frost. Flowers
bloom during the entire winter, grass
is green and much of the shrubbery
retains its foliage.
It is plain to lie seen that such a
climate must ! health restoring.

men of Southern Arizona, left their
northeastern homes and came here as
continued invalids with the hope of
dying easily. They would not now
die for ten limes what they are worth.

Tobacco In the Arid Went.
The culture of tobacco is beginning
to attract attention in the irrigated
region. A very intelligent paper read
recently before a California audience
by J. I. Culp. is equally applicable to
Siuthern Arizona:
'"The opjHirt unities for development
of the tobacco industry in this state
are recognized to be superior to any
elsewhere in the Cnited States," said
Mr. Culp. "'The peculiar quality of
of tobacco lauds here renders manur
ing unnecessary, which item is a sav
ing of about JUK) per acre as compared
with cigar tobacco producing lands in ;

Arizormns may not generally know
of the territory's connection with the
late confederacy or it may not be
generally known t hat it had any con
nection at all.
Among the many periodicals which
come to Judge liader is the Confed
erate War Journal published in New
Vork, and devoted to information
concerning matters of the confeder
acy. In an issue received yesterday
under an article headed '"Organiza
tion of the Territory of Arizona,"
there was published a proclamation
by the president of the confederate
states.
In none of the histories of the
events of the late rebellion is any
mention made of the organization of
the territory, though it appear from
the proclamation that such an act.
was passed by tin: confederate con
gress. The following is a copy of the
proclamation:
