UoOu, Just hlter lt, ana now, one CoulO hardly believe the changes which have been made. It was an old, semiMexi can town, nearly all built of adobes then it was all desolation, now it i, springing into life, with new frame anc brick buildings that are credit to any town built up under similar circumstan ces. and the good work goes on.
 West Yuma, through which the Yums lrrigating company's canal passes, ii already not only holding its own but gradually drawing settlers into itl bounds. This enterprise, under tn, immediate supervision of President Capt. Frank Ingalls and Superintendent J. II. Carpenter, is making good head way. True no "busting" boom accom- psnies its opening and development but health growth marks it's progress as is always best in such schemes.
 The People's canal, though hardly yet under way, is another enterprise which will help West Yuma. In the hands of such energetic and popular citizens as Under Sheriff Ed. Mayes, County Physcian Dr. F. G. Cotter, Real hotabO AEChb Ds WI 1T iCll duu SdDk- W IT lls, it must be success, The canal Is to be built on the mutual benefit plan and when finished will do much for the building up of the fine valley lands along the Colorado river below Yuma.
 The Yuma Heights company has risen and is dressed, SO they say, -and soon will be ready to put in good days work. It's plan, as now laid out before h.a. al lta ia fA .ttN n electric lights into Yuma and along Orange avenue' which is to run from Yuma out to the new town of Yuma Heights, which has been laid out on the mesa about three miles south. The plan, so far as developed, seems to be to lay out the fine mesa lands which are included within the boundaries of the burg" into five and ten-acre lots, clear, fence and set out the same to vines and fruit trees; put water and electric lights onto each lot, build nice, cosy cottage on the same and sell the whole to actual settlers, men of families, on the installment plan.
 The scheme Is an excellent one and will do much towards building up south Yuma and also tow ards determining just what can be done on and with our mesa lands.
 The parties behind this schetne are u. w. Blaisdell, superintendent of the Cargo Muchacho mines and president of the Yuma Times company; l.. A.. Hicks, manager, and Robert Hornbeck, editor of the same, a most excellent local journal.
 Mr. Blaisdell has been east and is said to have raised funds sufficient to ..sk .l fullest detail. With such men at the helm 1t must meet with success.
 Mir. Blaisdell has had much experience in the starting of various fruits in his celebrated ranch in the Gila valley, inst east of Yuma, which was destroyed by the great flood of last year.
 Mir. Hornbe is said to have had much to do in building up Riverside and Coronado Beach, Cal, where he was somewhat of a marked figure in the efforts made to make those two beauti. ful towns what they are.
 Some of our old cranks are inclined to call this Yuma Times" scheme, but we answer, better be that than like the saloon bench schemes laid out by our eternal growlers, of which our town is blessed with it's full share. With these three schemes in the hands of our own citizens, Yuma must continue to im- prove.
 The political horizon in Yuma county begins to give signs of change of front. The Democrats are little ahead in making mp their slate for the county officers. The weather indicator now points somewhat like this:
 Sheriff, Ed Mays; Treasurer, Dr. P. C. Cotter; Recorder, D. M.' Field Dis trict Attorney, Lam Purdy; Assessor, Capt. A. 0. Willis; probable Judge, Geo. Knight; County Surveyor, l.. A. Hicks, Councilman, Thos. Gates; Mem Der of Assembly, D. M. Field.
 On the Republican ticket SO far the canvass shows that the following gre willing to serve their country:
 Sheriff, Robert Hatch, Treasurer, F. s. Ingalls,; Recorder, J. l.. Redondo; District Attorney, Sam Purdy; Assessor, w. A. Werninger; Probate Judge, F. l.. Ewing; County Surveyor, L. A. Hicks; Councilman, Abe Frank; Member of Assembly, S. s. Gillispie.
 As. the prohibition party has only one follower in town, he has not as yet made up his ticket.
 l.. A. Hicks would probable be nomi- mated for the assembly. only for the fact that he is now county surveyor, secretary of the prison, manager of the Yuma Times, chief engineer Yuma flights company and of the Cargo Muchacho Mining company, U. $. mineral surveyor, and several other minor positions and many think that he has enough, for the present at least. The excitement in Yuma has quieted down and peace reigns. Delegate NJ. J. | Nugent has returned from the Chicago convention and explained all. He says that the thing is all right. Cleveland is nominated and this satisfies them all. ! Only one question remains un i6lved, . and over this the "unterrihed" are 1 mad, and that is that after Cleveland i has been nominated and Hll has "bburied the little hatchet," after the | "unwashed' in congress have wiped | out the silver bill and converted, trans ! terred and revamped all of the Demo. | cratic silver men and made "gold bugs" | of them, and knocked the great silver question out of the politics of the Dem ocratic party in Arizona, after Tammany | has larlated the tiger, and bS led to the | inevitable. then that two oi the great | braves. the real sachems of Tammany, should come out and accuse our Arizona delegation to the Chicago convention of | holding their hands behind them and i ot receiving share of that half million | dollars which that immaculate" w. | .: Whitney, ex-cabinet minister of . Cleveland's, with the four other ex-cab- . met ministers of Growers, are said to have paid out to secure his nomination. Now our Yuma "Dems" are mad. Not so much 1t seems on account of their having received the cash, as that they
