Yuma.

The town of Yuma is showing I'M
mistakable signs of progress and is
laying the foundation for the CONNER
cial greatness that has for many years
been pictured as its "great expecta-
tons" The basis of its coming pros
perity lies in the vast extent of agri.
cultural land that surrounds the place,
extending for many miles up the ella
river, with the ultimate probability of
double this area along the Colorado
below the town. There cannot be the
slightest doubt that Yuma county will
shortly become one of the largest ex-
porters of fruits of any county in the
territory. Its grapes ripen six weeks
earlier than anywhere in California,
and it can produce all the citrus fruits

Judge T. /. Stiles.

The Tucson Star in late issue pub
fishes the following item concerning
Judge T. L. Stiles who is a candidate
for Judge of the Supreme Court in the
new state of Washington:
''There are what appear to be well
founded rumors to the effect that the
grand jury which adjourned Saturday,
returned six indictments against one
Theodore L. Stiles, assignee of the
bank of Hudson L. Co., and James II.
Toole and Chas. Hudson, members of
the banking firm. 1t is alleged the
indictments charge embeZzlement of a
large amount of the funds paid into
his hands as assignee.
One thing is certain there will be
some things brought to light in con-
nection with the winding up of the
Hudson band that will be intensely
interesting reading matter, and some
of the dark history of business manip-
ulations in connection with the
securities of that concern, which will
bring the blush of shame to the face
of more than the sleek Theodore L.
Stiles. The whole story will no doubt
be told just as it happened.

Yuma enjoys climate that is almost
tropical in its salubrity; soil that
acknowledges no superior in fertility,

natural resources are more fully de-

superintendent, rigidly complies with

and, as the immediate and response

shown great executive ability. The

Bread III Norway.

Bread making, writes correspondent
in Norway to the London Telegraph, was
another industry which we had Il good
opportunity of seeing while we changed
horses at one of the stations. Contrary
to our expectations, we found white
bread everywhere, but the COMMON
bread is heavy bread, the chief in
grcdient of which is rye. 1t Is always
sour; the housewife intends it to Ee so.
They also have fiat bread" made OF
potatoes and rye. 1t was this kind of
bread that the two women whom we
happened in upon were making. They

lighted except from the door. The
walls were Of stone and the floor was
of earth. They were seated Oh either
side Of long, low table, upon which
were huge mounds of dough. The
one nearest the door cut Off a piece of
this and nodded it and rolled it out to a
certain degree of thinness; then the other
one took it, and with the greatest care
rolled it still more. At her right hand
was the fireplace, and upon the Goals was
a red piece of iron, forming ! huge
griddle more than half a yard across
The bread matched this in size very
nearly when it was ready to be baked,
and it was spread out and turned upon
tie sriddle with great dexterity, and as
soon as it was baked it was added to a
great heap on the floor. The woman said
She should continue to bake bread for

found that the eclipses of the satellites

farther away from the planet; that they
occurred TOO soon when the earth was
nearest and too late when it was farthest
away frcn Jupiter. The astronomer
