 Mohawk Valley.
 March 30, 1886. ED. SESINEL:
 Now that our valley is receiving attention from all parts of the country, and even hon. orable mention at the citrus fair of Califor- mia, we claim voice in the columns of your valuable journal.
 Our population is increasing to such an extent that the demands for postoffice are being put forth in forciable language, and ere long our modle town will be decorated with that cognoman of Uncle Sam.
 Our settlers have taken advantage of this glorious weather and are planting their or chards and gardens, Tn endless variety, of fruits and vegetables, and even now, early as it is, the delicate plants of watermelon, | tomato vines and smaller plants are surpris- ing to look upon, so rapid is the growth, and that fact alone is sufficient to speak for the soil and the climate of the Mohawk | Valley.
 A number of houses are being erected, lmong which is a large adobe by G. w. Norton, which is being put up in Mohawk Jity. Chris Horner will erect a blacksmith hop, and Capt. Smith will erect carpenter hop on the townsite. Capt. Smith will al- Q erect dwelling house on his ranch.

F mt over the success of Antelope Valley, c nd we congratulate him on his good judg- J ent on locating land in the Mohawk Val o y, as both he and his neighbors are cogniz- c It of the fact that a good investment is n e'er regretted. Our list Of "born" are numerous. not only = the human family, but to glorious fu- Ire, for Yuma-co., and the marriages are U ", except to the Valley which many more ould like to be, but scarcity of land pre- S ents them. The ''death list" is scarcer c ill, save but occasionally the last cry of R at musical animal, the coyote. But we 5 ust reserve for another time, our hogs are H uealing and we must feed them; and to B fresh our memory we quote originally" R Lives of great men remind us, 5
