mand of the expedition against
the Mohaves, and took along with
part of the Yuma garrison.
In 1861, the Yuma Indians re-
sisted the temptations held out by
the Confederacy, and gave ear
ly information concerning rebel
troops on the way from Texas.
The Winter of 1862 was noted
for one of the greatest floods ever
seen in this valley. The Summer
of 1868 was dry and passed with
out any overflow of the Colorado.
The subsequent history of Fort
Yuma is eventless and gradually
merges into that of the town of
Yuma, on the opposite bank of
the Colorado.

In announcing himself as cam
didate for Congress-, Col. X. S.
Woolsey displays an apparent
"grit" that attracts attention,
without meriting appreciation.
When a candidate undertakes a
campaign in the face of certain
defeat, we may admire his pluck
if we can divest ourselves of all
suspicion that he has been en-
ployed by some other candidate,
for the purpose of drawing votes
away from an opponent. In view
of Col. Woolsey's recent visit to
Prescott and of the commenda-
ton bestowed on him by friends
of q. j. Campbell, the voters of
Arizona may be pardoned for sus-
pecting that the latter has en-
ployed him to run, in order to
prevent few scores of votes from
being cast for Judge Porter.
Campbell is smart" 1t may be
that Woolsey has given up Con-
gressiOnal aspirations forever, and
prefers to take their present val
ue." This course may be dictated
by thrift, but it can only be fol-
lowed at the expense of reputa-
ton.

ness for any emergency. From Tucson to
San Diego extends Mexican border of
5oO miles, with only such protection as can
be afforded by troops stationed at Yuma.
Between here and San Diego the line is
exposed to risk from several thousand In
dlans, Cocopahs, Cahuillas and Dieguefos: ::
and to repetition of such Mexican raids as
that made last year at Campo. The Colo
RADIO river Indians are peaceable, but need
to be awed by the presence of troops. Be-
tween here and Tucson are the $500 Pimas
and Maricopas, and the strong tribes of
Papagos, some 2000 of whose warriors are
now menacing the town of Saric, in Sonora,
All these Indians have been, in the main.

guard against contingencies. Not station

sand as Foundation Material.

One of the best possible foundations is
sea sand; at least so long as it is not inter
fered with. The man who built his house
upon the sand was not quite the Iunatic
that many worthy people suppose. Under
ordinary circumstances, his abode was
just about as secure as his neighbor's upon
the rock. Unfortunately, however, one
stormy night an unexpected flood came,
and next morning his want of forethought
was made apparent. So long, therefore, as
sand is uninfiuenced by running water it
is safe. Sink, however, well near, and
you at once undermine its security. Moth.
ing is more treacherous than sand when
allied with water. In harbor works heavy
piles (driven many feet into the sandy lift
ed and thrown up high and dry on the ad-
joining beach by single nights gale.
Sand has many curious properties. It's in.
compressibility is well known. A paper
cylinder filled with sand will sustain sur
prising load One of the London Polv-
technic experiments, a few years ago, was
to bury an egg in sand within sort of
enlarged cupel mold, and then to pound
the die vigorously; on afterwards empty
ing the sand, the egg was found uniniured.
The ancient Egyptian engineers, it is sur
missed must have Csed sand eytonSivaI,y
for some purposes for which we employ
timber. Mr.. Dixon supposes Cleopatra's
Needle, and the various monoliths of SINH
lar character, to have been raised into
vertical position by means of hillocks of
sand.

The weather for the past week has been fa-
vorable for harvesting. We have had some re-
freshing showers, causing corn. oats. and late
meadows to TEEN with vcrdure beyond all ex-

weather during wheat harvest. which is nearly
finished in this vicinity. There is larger aera
of wheat sown this year in the township than
for the past twenty years. and the yield will be
much larger than any previous year. being well
filed. The oat crop looks we'll aud will yield
abundant. Wheat sells at 81 10 per bushel. corn
at 80 cents per blishel, oats at 80 cents per
bushel.
