salmon for the Colorado.

Stocking the Colorado river with
fish is a matter that is now re-
ceiving some attention. AT pres
ent there Is but one variety here
that has much value for the table.
1t is locally known as the "COlO-
RADIO salmon" though it appears
to have no peculiarities in COM
mon with that noble fish Itgrows
to great size, thirty pounds not
being an uncommon weight. Its
flesh is tolerabIy free from small
bones and, during the winter
months, reasonably firm. The 9TH
er varieties are small, bOny and
of muddy flavor. The tempera-
ture of the water is an important
consideration in selecting the
proper varieties of fish for stock
ing the Colorado. To determine
this fact, the railroad company are
causing daily record to be made
of the temperature of the river,
and these observations will be
continued throughout the sum.
mer. An apparatus for this pur-
pose was brought down here by
Mr.. J. r. Scupham, who seems
to be running the botanical and
geological departments of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Compa-
ny. It is under his supervision
that the company is planting an
immense number of eucalyptus
trees along various parts of its
road. He has also taken much
interest in stocking streams along
the road with new varieties of
fish. It may be objected that the
waters of the Colorado are too
muddy for salmon, and that our
climate is too warm. But we call
attention to the Sacramento and
San joaquin rivers of California,
both of which abound in salmon
at the proper season. These riv-
ers are just as muddy as the Colo
RADIO, if not more so; and the sum-
mer temperature of their valleys
scores equally high on the Their
mometer. Just now there seems
to be no good reason for predict
ing failure of experiments in this
direction, while there does seem
to be every indication of their
success.

success.

Colonel Poston's letter on Sur
veyor General WATSON, in the
Star, was evidently written quite
as much to let folks know that P.
has travelled in foreign lands Gn-
Guiding China and England) and
that he has a government mot the
one of 1S61-65), as it was to make
us despise w. as an official who
is now trying to despoil widow,
of land which she sold twelve
years ago (as appears by Pima
county records), and as a surveyor
who maps the ruins of graveyards
and churches as "hOuses." Col.
P. must be mistaken about having
seen the TOrreOn, or tower Of ref
uge, some twenty-five years ago;
tradition says it stood upon the
bank of the Santa Cruz and caved
into that river about the time the
Colonel was born. Those "houses"
are about four miles distant, and
in a different township, from the
old church and graveyard. The
Colonel mistakes facts, but In ba-
thos and scorn he is immense; his
lip must have curled clear over his
nose while he was writing that
letter. John Wasson's official rec
ord as Surveyor-General of Ari-
IONA, and his Office, are without
question the cleanest and most
creditable in the United States
we bar none. AS an individual,
he can take care of himself; as an
official, Col. Poston may perhaps
realize in WATSON the Scriptural
metaphor about the difference be-
tween falling upon, or under, the
milestone. We can say to Col.
Poston, as the farmer did to the
remains of the ram who had but
ted the locomotive: "You showed
spirit, but d-n your discretion"
While so many corrupt officials go
unrebuked, it is sad to see talent
for invective squandered on a
Surveyor-General whose record is
inVulnerable.

Yuma I'm Politics.

Territorial papers are already
canvassing the prospects of the
next election; but in all their war
talk there is little mention of Yu-
ma county. Our total population
is not quite as large as that of va
vapai or Pima, but the railroad
terminus here, and our recent
mining developments, have at
tracted q large number of people
who will VOTE. Yuma county is
entitled to 60 into any convention
on the same footing and with the
same representation as any other
county. After the first election
conducted on party lines, Yuma
is willing to take, in subsequent
conventions, the position to which
her vote may entitle Der. Till
then, she declines to play second
fiddle, or to be made a cat's-paw,
for the other counties of the North
or South. Yuma has never been
sectional; her citizens have not
participated in any of the strug-
giles for the capitol, for headquar-
tiers, or for anything else. There
may not be among US man will
Ing to run on any ticket for the
Office of Delegate to Congress; but
Yuma has men able to fill that
position creditably, and able to
lead their party to victory, wheth.
er that party be Democratic, In
dependent or Republican. From
Yuma only can a candidate be
taken, who will not find sectional
feelings a-rayed against him, and
>who can poll an overwhelming To-
cal vote. Yuma may not furnish
any candidates, but this county
must no longer be ignored in max
ing up the states.
The Arizona sentinel., 1878-03-30
The Colorado.

There seems to be every indica-
ton that an appropriation will be
made by Congress, for improving
the navigation of the Colorado
River. Petitions for that purpose
have been freely signed by our
citizens, although the matter is
one of by far more Importance to
Mohave and Yavapai counties
than it is to Yuma. Difficulties of
navigation are found only north
of Yuma. Where the river is
wide and runs between low banks,
the channel constantly shifts, and
Is occasionally INSTRUCTED by bars
of moving sand. No expenditure
of money is now sought for re-
moving these difficulties; they are
very transient and are readily sur
mounted by the ingenuity of
steamboat men. The real obstruc-
tions, for whose removal the aid
of the Nation is asked, are narrow
reefs of rock and bars of boulders
and gravel packed into tough
conglomerate with calcareous sed-
iment. These are comparatively
few in number and invariably oc-
cur where the river is confined by
high, rocky banks, and where the
channel is permanent. Once re-
moved, they would be out of the
way forever. No public work is
now contemplated, which can pro-
duce q greater or more lasting
benefit to the Nation, than will an
Improvement of the channel of
the Colorado River.

DIED.

At Yuma, Arizona, March %, 1873, at
twenty minutes past three O'Clock a. m,
Mark Hopkins, Treasurer of the Central
Pacific Rail- Dad Company.
Mr.. Hopkins was g. man of advanced years,
said to be between sixty and seventy, and
has been hopeless INVALID for long time.
He was considered An able tinancier. His
immense labors in managing the finances
of his company, during their struggles in
building the road across to meet the Union
Pacific, broke down his brain; and for the
past few years, business anxieties were
carefully kept away from him. Latterly
he had suffered much from sciatica and
neuralgia, being kept much under the in
fluence of opiates. Medical scieace only
had kept him alive for the past few months,
and when its resources seemed about ex-
hausted, he was brought down to Cotton
first, and then to Yuma. He rallied
little under the change OF climate, but
age, over-work and suffering had exhaust
ed his vitality and he was past recovery.
A specially fitted car, able attendants and
all the resources of immense wealth we're
at his service. His brother, Mr.. Moses
Hopkins, was with him. The body was
taken TO San Francisco yesterday by spe-
cial train.
