Miss Nora Sargent, a daughter of Harvey Sargent, speaking of her father and herself, both of whom are in Arizona, writes the Gazette from Phoenix under date of November 28, as follows: ' We like Arizona, but don't find it as warm or as dry as we had expected. It has rained most of the two weeks that we have been here, but the natives say it is an exception, being the worst weather for this time of the year for twenty or more years. So far it has been very much like our Oregon fall weather, change able, one hour sunshine, then be fore you know it the rain is pour ing down. But Arizona pesple say that it is all right and we should not complain unless it rains eight days in the week as it does in Oregon. On our way down we stopped at Oakland, Xos Angeles, River side and Yuma. The litter city is in Arizona, the two former in California. At Los Angeles we found it so foggy and disagree able that one day was sufficient. In Riverside, where we spent three days visiting friends, we also found rain, for it seemed to be general throughout the South and we couldn' t travel fast enough to get out of it. Papa says that Riverside is the prettiest and cleanest little town (11,000 inhabitants) that he has ever seen, indeed, it well de serves the " name it has "The Pride of California." There are beautiful little orange groves throughout the city. Then, as you take the train going east you travel through forty or fifty miles of the prettiest orange groves in the world. In Yuma one finds an ideal place for those who are suffering with , throat and lung trouble. The mesa(table ground) back of town is both high aild'dry the air pure, and the hot dry sand makes it the best place I have seen It is a regular Mexican town. Of the i.soo inhabitants only about one hundred are white people. I was told . that there were only four white girls beside myself. It is there you find the genuine . savage Indians 5 with painted faces, long hair- decorat ed with feathers, etc., makes your blood run cold and you think of the days of the scalping kni'e, especially when they are partial ly intoxicated as I saw several while there. Phoenix is a pretty little Mex ican town of about 15,000 popu lation. They are to have a fair here commencing Christmas. Additional Local.
