THE EXPERIENCE OF TWO TRAVEL
ERS FROM YUMA.
The New Colorado River and How It
Flows-A Wonderful Growth of Vege-
tation on the Desert Sands.

The following appeared in the Yuma
Sentinel of last week, from j. S. Carter:
HALL HANLoN's RANCH, Aug. II.
Will McLabran and started for my
camp, twelve miles below Hall Han
Ions, with two horse team. The first
day we got to the Laguna, six miles.
When we reached the old Martinez
house, ten miles, we mired in the mud
and water up to the axles. We
had to pack our provisions on
our backs to dry land. Upon examina-
tion we found it would be impossible to
get any further with our team and
wagon, nor could we use boat, as the
water was too shallow in places. We
had to haul the wagon to dry land by
hand, where we loaded up again and
started, only to mire down again. The
load careened and broke down our
wagon. We repaired it and started
again, making ten miles in two days.
Had most fearful time with mosqui
toes. The third day we abandoned our
wagon, got four Indians and packed our
load across the mud to our boat, and
started for our camp via the New Colo
RADIO and Riley's slough, which passes
within 100 yards of my house.
The new Colorado river is still 150
feet wide and six feet deep, but after
running a short distance it divides into
four channels. / took the west branch,
which was from two to four feet deep.
The larger body of water flows through
an old channel a mile further east,
which has been closed for years. We
reached my house in the afternoon after
cutting our way through mesquite brush,
tired, hungry and we'll worn out. We
still had to pack our load $50 yards
through mud and water, where neither
team nor boat could go. We had done
we'll. On and off the old stage road we
had made twelve miles in three days.
/ only wish that you could go out
west and south with us and see the
wonderful growth of vegetation since
the waters have receded, and the
extent of this wonderful overflow
in this vicinity. How the cattle ever
pescaped is beyond my "ken.'' They did
however, and are in fine condition. The
feed is grand and boundless. Grasses of
all kinds, pumpkins, squashes, water
and muskmelons, tules and willows are
growing in the widest confusion. Vines
cover the largest bushes and trees with
fruit hanging in clusters. All over the
broad desert and sand dunes, which
never before have shown any signs of
vegetation, except the mesquite and
greasewood, and which have been a
barren desert almost since 1860, the sur
face is covered with tules for acres in
places. When we became thirsty we
would look for vine with melons ON it
and then we would have both meat and
drink galore. No one ever, in late years,
saw such growth on the great desert.

VITICULTURE IN THE STATES

Bulletin No. SO issued from the census
bureau tells us that for the first time the
census office has made special investi-
cation for the purpose of ascertaining
the extent and value of the grape, raisin
and wine Industries of the United States.
An industry representing a total value in
land, improvements, machinery and APP
purtenances of S155, 661 $50, and furnish
ing employment to 200,7S0 persons, de-
serves place in the decennial inventory
Of the nations wealth and resources.
The bulletin mentioned shows the loca-
ton of the several grape growing dis
tricts of the United States, with total
of 4O1 ,261 acres in 1889, producing 572,-
139 tons. Of this quantity 240, $50 tons
were used for producing wine, making
q, 906, 905 gallons; Al 1855 tons for raisins.
making !, 1872, 1876 boxes of 20 pounds
each, the remainder being consumed in
other forms.
California leads in the production of
grapes and grape products, having 300
600 acres of VINEYARDS, yielding IA, 626, 600
gallons of wine and 1872, 1875 boxes of
raisins. New York comes second with
$4,000 acres; Ohio third with $4,000
acres; Missouri fourth with II, 700 acres,
and Kansas fifth with $500 acres
The value of grapes per ton is lowest
IN California, Sl7.66, and highest in
Georgia, 800. The Kansas product is
valued at $50. In California the foreign
varieties Of grapes predominant largely,
though IN other parts of the country the
foreign grapes proved failures and the
only successful and profitable kinds are
the improved varieties of domestic orr
gin. The yield per acre in Kansas is
not quite up TO the highest reported.
though it is sufficiently large, BY reason
of the superior quality of the fruit, to
make it as valuable as in any other state
or section of the country.
With its advantages of climate and
soil, which are specially adapted to the
cultivation of the grape. supplemented
by its superior facilities for reaching the
markets with its products, Kansas could.
and no doubt soon would develop the
industry of viticulture into one of large
proportions and profit if it were not in
some measure handicapped by repres-
Sive laws

Poor old Missouri is giving Kansas the
dust in matters of legislation. The
Jefferson City legislature authorizes the
state to spend S150,000 in presenting lis
best side to the world at the Chicago fair
in '93, and also appropriated $4,000 for
the maintenance of the states military
arm; two items that the Topeka con-
glomerate did not esteem worth a penny.
The two items mentioned are alike in
this, they come under the head of dis
play, and the Kansas solons were jeal-
Gus of their preserves in that line, assum-
ing to furnish the state all that it needed
in the. way of display. OF this, of the
sort, the state acknowledges a surfeit.

The Philadelphia members of con-
gress and others were made happy by
the passage of the bill authorizing the
erection Of So, 100000 mint building in
that city. 1t now turns out that by an
oversight no appropriation for the cree
ton of the building was embodied in the
bill or in any of the general appropria-
ton bills. 1t may be that some of the
western towns have been indulging in a
deal of premature jubilation in the same
line, whose joy will turn sadness from
the same cause. Pity It's, if It's true.
