 of the most important enterprises ever engaged in with a view to the advance ment of the Yuma district, VIZ: The Yuma Pun ping IrrigatiDg O.. the object of which is to reclaim several thousand

 MI. Moline lsa solid citizen of Yu-
 ma. It IS thought by many that the
 barber business Is not money making
 occupation, but the results Mir. Nj. can show prove that 'chin scrapIng" is not
 bad business, especially when the work
 is not botched. Try hIm.
 Yuma since the food is not liberslly supplied with hotel accommodations for a large number of people, the Southern Pacific hotel being the only we'll equip ped hotel iii the place at pres nt, but there are two or more restaurants, the best of hich IS the Cosmopolitan, kept by A. Romero. Mir. R. served an ap- premiership in boyhood as cook, fol lowed the business for years on the coast steambos;s, and cooked for some time at the opening of the Southern Pa cIfic hotel. He bears the reputation ot good caterer.
 Yuma, as present, is quiet. A new building has been constructed on Msin street for the Times printing office and MT Bakers butcher eht p. one for Box ing's store, one for Molino's barber shop | and aloon adjoining. one for Meedin, before mentioned and perhaps twenty l dwelling houses. Many are living Tn temporary structures and awaiting the | erection of houses to suppiant some of the 200 or more swept 6 sxay 5y the great | flood of last winter.
 From the following list of buildings | that are to be constructed this season, | some idea m3y be had of the gratifying | change of times that are in store for | Yuma: Store and residence for 1. Levy, | brick store and hall overhead by A. | Frank, residences of J. M. Moline, J. | L.. Redondo. E. MayGs, Frank Redondo, | Frank Ewing, office and residence of $. | Purdy, store of {. Modesti, residence and saloon of G. M. Thurlow. and | lal Re number of residences by the bui.d- l ir and loan association, just recently | organized, the officers of which are as follows: Edwin Mayes, president: F. B. Wightman, secretary; Isaac Levy, treasurer; Sam Pcrdy, attorney.
 The board of trade is oficered 8s fol- lows: P. c. Cctter, president; l. Con- dolpho, treasurer; E.. Mayes, secretary; F. c. Wightman, recording secretary; Samuel Purdy, attorney.
 So it may be seen the city IS beginning | to feather out. The machinery of pro- grees has been set in motion and there | lb IsO IeIlsLS lOh rOON OO aN- complshed if the steering is put into the hacds of honest level headed citizens. |
 Work has commenced on the levee to protect the place in case of high water of another season. It is being done by | prison labor and it will not be a great | or expensive task to place Yuma beyond all danger Of flood should the river rise higher than the highest within the re of any white resident of Yuma.
 Among the most potent auxiliaries toward the development of good schemes for Yuma. the Times and the Sentir el are universally recognized and appre- ciated. By kr. HornbecH, manager of the former, and Col. Allen, of the Sen tinel, I was placed under spec al obliRa- tions for courtesies ard fa9ore, as we'll as | to J. J. Stein. associated press ccrres- pordent. and J. II. Carpeu ter, secretary | of the Yuma pumping and irrigating | for data Of value for future | use. F. E. l..
