and therefore an increased popula-
ton, much larger property valu-
alton, vastly augmented agricult-
ural output and, consequently,
greater prosperity. Under such
circumstances Yuma county will
be the peer of any county on the
coast
1t is not our purpose to analyze
the report-that is left to our read
ers. The proposed reservoir will
necessarily entail considerable ex-
penditure by the government, al
though the entire outlay, as meas
ured by the resulting benefits,
would be insignificant However, a
lake covering 48.4 square miles to
an average depth of 35 feet, yield
ing Isl, 1886 inches of water daily
for six months, without allowing
for the continued supply afforded
by the river, and irrigating between
100000 and 100000. acres of
arabic land is not, so far as Yuma
county is concerned, quite SO in
significant.
The following is Civil Engineer
Steiger's report:
To THE COMMITTEE ON STORAGE !
RESERVOIR SITES FOR YUMA :
COUNTY, A. T., Aug. Z, '89.
GENTLEMEN:-In accordance with
your instructions l have made re-
connaissance survey of the proposed
water storage reservoir on the ella
river at Oatpan and Cottonwood
fats, and submit the following report
on the same:
The most available site for a dam
one hundred feet in height, is at a
point on the river about half a mile
above the South ella Canal Com
pany's head gate. Solid bluffs of
dolomite Qimestone) Ill to l26 feet
above the present water level and
distant 1895 feetfrom each other, are
found at this point. The width of
1895 feet given, is the distance be-
tween the bluffs at the 100 feet flow
line, or proposed top of dam.
The storage capacity of the canyon
extending about one and half miles
up the river from the dam to Oatman
fat is comparatively small for the
average width on the 100 feet fowline
is but half mile, with steep bluffs on
either side.
Above this one-half mile point the
bottoms widen out to an average
width of one and one-half
miles for three miles, forming
ing what is called "Oatman's Flat"
with an area of At square miles on
the 100 feet contour. At the head of
Oatman fiat the bottoms narrow to
about three-quarters of a mile, and
then widen out and form Cottonwood
fat, the main storage basin, with a
length of eight miles and a width of
four and one half miles, with an area
of 35.2 square miles.
About two miles above the head of
Cottonwood fat, at Rock islands, the
bottom narrows to a width of about
1000 feet, including an island 500 feet
wide, and above this point they again
widen to three miles. The length of
this basin will be eight and one-half
miles, with an area of eight and half
square miles.
The depth of the water at the
lower Rock Island will be 40 feet.
The average fall in the river from this
point to the dam, some fourteen miles
by the river channel, is 49, feet per
mile. The river has much greater
grade above the Rock islands.
The distance from the islands to
ella Bend is about twenty miles. The
total area of the three basins is as
follows:
SQUARE MILES.

a most fourishing condition now, and
the people are taking great interest in
keeping them In the lead. We asked
for $500, 200. and we will probably get it
all right. If we don't we may be able
to get along without them, but we don't
want to. Boom the school work and
you will be popular with a very good
class of people.
I. B. Walker-If the GLOBE can get
the people of st. Paul to take hold with
us, that is get the people of the Twin
Cities to work together to build the two
into one great city, they will immor
talize themselves among great many
people and help to build up great city.
If this is done we will all like the
GLOBE. If it is not, both cities will
have to plod along as they are and have
awful hard work.
B. Davenport-It would make any
paper very popular to have one page of
condensed news so that the news could
all be gained by an honr's reading.
There are a great many people who
would advise having the papers smaller
rather than larger. Place the news SO
we can get at it easily.
r. B. Langdon-MOve your head
quarters to Minneapolis the first thing
and second get authentic railway news.
Some papers take little country paper
and clip out some railway news and run
it with head when it is not true at all.
don't say the GLOBE does that, but
enlarge on the railway news and it will
grow more popular than ever with us.
Judge Atwater-The sentiment l
have heard for the last year is that the
GLOBE now holds high place among
the newspapers of the Northwest. l
could offer no suggestions.
B. F. Nelson-If it was a question of
lumber l could tell you. l think it
would greatly advance the interests OF
any paper to be very careful OF what 1t
publishes and be sure they have moth
ing but truth. This seems to be COM
mon failing of the papers.
David C. Bell would say that the
GLOBE would greatly advance its inter-
ests by running clean, straightforward
Republican sheet. 1t has brains and
enterprise and push, and what 1t needs
to make it wholly popular is to totally
abstain from advancing any man Tor
public Office of known corrupt char
acter. 1t should strive in every way to
work for upright and progressive state
and municipal government. If it would
do this. and repress the Sunday paper,
| would be its faithful retainer forever.
Postmaster Ankeny-I am sure it
would be hard to advise an improve
ment for the GLOBE. do not myself
read the Sunday paper, but have heard
those who do make obiections-tO some
of the light articles and pictures pub
lished in it. This is a common failing,
however, with most papers.
Daniel Ahern-My opinion is thatth
GLOBE is already very popular news
could be materially improved. The
greatest point to he watched, it seems
to me, is that questions that come up be
considered fairly from both sides.

point out the necessity of keeping and
publishing full and complete synopsis
of the daily doings Of the board of pub

should be accurate. This board and the
action of the council and the chamber

THE NOBLE RED MEN L
who inhabit these parts, ;
One of the most striking features OF
this encampment is smell-smel OF
every description. The odOr of stewlng
muskrat mingles with the ammoniacal
perfume of perspiration. The scent OF
old and dirty clothes blends malodort
Ously with that OF killikanick tobaccos
The fumes of refuse combined with
those of the wood fires, and all are
mixed up into an unpleasant general
smell of everything disagreeable. The
nostrils of the fastidious are not those
which would appreciate the delicate
perfume which hangs around an Indian
camp, but probably the natives find it
appetiZing. =.
The space between the covering OF
the fences and the ground is filled in
with banks OF earth, straw and truck of
every description, the principal object
being to keep the wind out. In the
summer the camp was pitched about a
mile nearer the city in an open field to
the east of the tracks, but the wintry
winds blew across the open ground, and
it was deemed advisable to seek shelter
among the small trees further south.
The trees form scant shelter at the best
as they are by no means thick, and are
small and few in number.
