OUR WEALTH.

This season Sal, River valley has 9,O6J acres in grain; 1880 in bar ley and 4,I3O in wheat. Estimat- ing the entire yield at 1.5OO pounds, which is very moderate, when we consider that last year a very large number of farms pro duced o.OO0 and some went as high as 5000 pounds to the acre, we ilus have as a showing for this year I3,59O,OOO pounds In es- estimating our price. we thilk We can safely put it at two cents; some of the new crop having already been sold for two and One-half cents. Taking the above facts, which we think are very correct, our wealth in this direction w;ll be over one quarter of a million of dollars. No other part of Arizona can make such a good showing as this. In addition our mineral wealth prom ises well the coming yelr.

or west.

Through the exertions of tine Sdk River HERALD, attention has at last been directed to the abuses existing in our mIil facilities. All the letters and papers for the thou sands of families now located in this valley are received by way of Dos Palmas and Wickenburg, con suming nearly six entire days from San Francisco. As long as Dos Palmas was the terminus of the Southern Pacific railroad, that place as dist.ibuiing point for central and northern Arizona was right and proper. but it should have been changed upon the completion of the road to Yuma. H. J. Me Cusiek, Postal Agent, lately mailed a letter to Phenix from San Fran cisco by way of Yuma and Flor ence-a roundabout of l20 miles and it was received here in four days aud four hours, a saving of forty hours over the present route. This will no douht cause orders to be given 0 send our mail by way of Yuma. If the route was Ieestab- lished from Phenix to Ma;icOpa Wells a still further saving of about one day would accrue, and then our mails would be on the road fom San Francisco only one-half the time now consumed.
 Wells. Fargo < Co.,, use the southern route, exclusively; they having examined both thoroughly. and consider the one via. Yuma and Florence not only the quickest, but the best. The representative of |. J. Salisbury, who has the contract for carrying the mail from Dos Palmas to Prescott for the nexi four years, has arrived in the latter town. The Yuma Sentinel suggests DOW as the time to make Yuma the ter minus. We endnrse this, anl will state to our Prescott friends that when this change is made they will. receive the mails much sooner than at present, and the stage company would carry just twice the number they now ride. as all the passengers for the Tiptop and Cave Creek mines will use this southera route

A Boys Account of a Tornado.
New Haven PALLADIUM

Elbridge Doolittle, bright boy of
fourteen years, who lives in Center
street, about half way up the hill, was
sitting at rear window, in the second
story of the house, watching the light
ming, when the tornado originated. He
says: I saw the flashes of lightning
and then, all of sudden, 1 heard a
queer noise. l turned around and
looked toward the lake, where the noise
came from. There was crash, and
something shot up into the sky that
looked like cloud of smoke, and was
so thick that I couldn't see through it.
There was an awful roar, and it came
along about five rods, and then there
were pieces of boards and shingles, and
pieces of roof, I should think, that were
about five feet square. Those, I sup
pose, came from Grasser's shop. The
tornado, or whatever you call it, was
about as wide as house is long. kept
whirling round and round, being a good
deal bigger at the top than at the bot
tom. It swept along awfully fast, and
tapered down at the bottom like bal
loon, with long tail stringing under it,
out of which stream of water kept
running, Just like it would out of a
funnel. The tail kept swinging and
whipping around like snake. After
it got well started the boards began to
get thicker in it, and it struck some
thing else, and things were lifted right
up into the air and came scudding along
until it reached the Catholic church,
and that and the houses on the plains
went over just as tall grass blows down
when stiff wind blows across it. The
buildings went right over, some going
up into the air; and it seemed to me as
if the tail had twisted right around
them and lifted them up. When it got
opposite our house the thing was terri
bly, black and thick, and was full of
timbers, which kept turning end over
end instead of spinning around like a
top. 1t was full of limbs of trees, too,
and they looked like big kites with the
leaves at the top, and the limbs OF
trunks hanging down like the tail of a
kite. Every little while the stuff in the
air would drop, and another building
would be picked up and thrown around
| The tail kept dragging along the ground
and all moved very rapidly, there being
no stop until it reached the school
house. Then thought it stopped fol
second or two, as if the school-houst
was too big for it, but it went up intt
the air, and the tail seemed to wint
i around the school-house-I could see i
| so plainly. After it had wound arount
the school-house it started again with al
, awful roar, and instead of blowing over
it lifted the top of the schoolhous
right up into the air. Part of it droppe,
: back again after it got up little way;
7 but the biggest part seemed to start O
r with the tornado. After it left th
: school-house lost sight of it. shoul
g think it took about three minutes for tn
e whole thing to come from the lake

The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-09-05

A PARIS paper says that the Colonel
of the 999th Regiment gave grand
banquet to his officers, among whom was
X, a grizzled old captain, who, the
soup being removed, thinking himself
still at his by no means pretentious
boarding house, selected the largest of
the glasses before him, breathed into it
and carefully wiped it out. The Colo
mel, seeing this action from the head of
the table, and imagining that a speck
had been leftin the glass, signed to the
attentive servant, who instantly removed
it and substituted another one, which
the captain proceeded to examine and
cleanse with equal care. Another signal
to the servant was as promptly obeyed,
when, 10! the awful voice of the veteran
was heard:
"Torpedoes and mitrailleuses! Do
you think Tm going to sit here and swab
out all your tumblers----
YOU,
