YUMA.

That Yuma is to be the most i'm important town in Arizona and one of
 the best interior points oD this coast, is no longer doubted by any one, familiar with her natural commanding position, and the vast resources with which nature has surrounded her. Situated upon the bank Of a great river, navigable for 600 miles at all seasons of the year, never obstructed by ice in the winter, or low water in summer, connecting the Gulf of Cali fornia with the great valley of the Colorado, with its 2,000,000 acres of the richest alluvial soil in the world, as fertile as the valley of the Nile and also with the rich mining regions which lie on both sides and adjacent to the river for more than l ,000 miles, and to be the terminus of the Penin- sula railway line from the Pacific, and also that of the Grand Canyon railroad, lately surveyed by Col. R. M. Stanton. also the depot of supplies for the lines of steamers which must in time course up and down the river, there can be no doubt as to the final come out for the place. Again sur rounded as it is with every variety of location and soil from the most fertile valley lands capable of producing hemp, cotton, flax, ramie, tobacco, sugar cane, sugar beets, rice, corn, beans and vegetables of all kinds, up to the mesa and hillside soils which have no Superior for all of the semi tropical fruits, nuts and other produc- tions, it occupies a position second to no other inland town in the west. With proper, system of irrigation these lands will produce from two to four crops per annum.
 These arid lands are the best in the world, when once they are supplied with water and then put under culti- vation will produce several times as much, as any lands, which have to depend upon the natural rainfall. The history of irrigation, and irrigat- ed lands. the world over sustains this assertion.
 Whenever capitalists, as they will in time, take hold of this matter of taking the water in great canals, fumes, or pipes out of the Colorado in sufficient quantities to irrigate this vast area of good land, immigrants will come in hordes to occupy the promised land" and Yuma will enter upon herdestined course of prosperity. The time is net far in the future when all this will come to pass.

The ssLIfe Of Gen. sherrnan.' ''

The enterprising Pacific Publishing Co.,, |, of Portland and San Francisco, are again to the front. This time it is with the "Life of General Sherman," written by the de- ceased generals fellow-warrior and bosom friend, Major General Howard, assisted by that most popular of all biographers, w. Fletcher Johnson, Author of "The John- stown Flood" and the "Life of Sitting Bull and the Indian War;" also brought out on this Coast by the Pacific Publishing Go. A greatful nation is at all times ready to honor the memory of her brave sons who, during life have followed the Stars and Stripes upon the gory field of battle; and this is particularly the case with the last of the great War Heroes who has just been summoned by the grim call of death to throw off this mortal coil, full of years; full of honor: full of glory; full of the love, affection and gratitude of his fellow citi- zens; full of everything, indeed, that goes te ensure an enviable immortality to the memory of the departed.
 This beautiful work, just issued by our friends, the Pacific Publishing Co.,, will be no mean factor in keeping green for many years to come the story of the late generals early life. his great war record at Bull Run, ct Shiloh, at Memphis, at Vicksburg, at Chattanooga, at Knoxville, at Missionary Ridge, at Atlanta, and last but very far from the least, tAat glorious and immortal "March to the Sea-" the generalship and military grandeur of which has probably never been surpassed in the annals of war fare All these matters are most graph ically and vividly dealt with by the able authors; and when it is remembered that General Howard las, with the consent of the late generals family, had access to all the private dairies and correspondence of General Sherman for the purpose of enabling him to do justice to the subject he had taken in hand, there can be no doubt but that the book under notice is an authentical and reliable biography of the deceased soldier It is illustrated by portraits, battle scenes. etc., from end to end- The steel plate engraving of the late General, from photograph taken juet before his last ill., ness in his generals uniform is very fine likeness, and a master piece of the en- graver's art.
 The book should find it's way into every patriotic home in the country. See the publishers advertisement in another column.

LATEST reliable reports bring the loss of life up to 3. W. Middleton at Globe, Jas. Murphy and John Kennedy at Riverside, a Mexican woman and five children near Solo knoxville, one Indian at San Carlos, five Pima Indians above Phoenix, one Yuma below here, a prospector near Florence, Gus Lee in Yuma, a Texan above Florence, besides the body of an unknown man seen in the river above Tempe, and a child drowned near Clifton. No word has been re ceived from the flood in Bill Williams Fork or the Little Colorado. An old Indian and his squaw were crushed by the falling oftheir house and both probably will die. They live a few miles below here on the river.

'IF ever the Territorial Prison is moved from Yuma it should be es- tablished in good buildings in some part of the Territory where the pris- oners can earn their own keep. In any one of the agricultural valleys, in such place as might be found near Florence, for instance, a thousand acres might be tilled5to profit by the labor of convicts. Texas has cotton plantation of several thousand acreg, all the labor upon which is performed by eonvicts. Sugar cane grows lux uriantly in this climate and is said to require thirteen months work in a year Surely no better employment could be found for the prisoners. They could raise every pound of vege- tables. meat and horse feed required, and eventually from the surplus pay the salaries of the officials, making the institution self-supporting. It is now, even under the most economical of managements, the largest drain from the none too plethoric general fund. Employment should be found for every convict. It is enough to drive an energetic man insane and ferocious to be cooped up without motive or chance to exercise the vitality that suffers under restraint. California has solved the problem by employing her prisoners in quarries and in bag factories; let Arizona follow by turn ing Ghem into husbandmen to their own and the Territory's profit. ."- Phoenix Republican.
 On the above, first and last, the priscn never will be removed from Yuma. The lunatic that advances such an idea will sleep his final nap before any such move will be made.
 Yuma offers just as many and more advantages than any other point in the Territory. If the government of Arizona wants the prisoners to work, why not set them at it. Yuma has the soil and the water, more, she has tens of thousands of tons of wild hemp and need not import it. Let the prisoners make sacks, bags, rope, twin, cord and clothing from the
