 flood, just after it, and now, one could
 hardly believe the changes which have
 been made. It was an old, semi Mexi- can town, nearly all built of adobes
 then it was all desolation, now it is springing into life, with new frame and
 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 Yuma
 Irrigating company's canal passes, is already not only holding it's own but gradually drawing settlers into its bounds. This enterprise. under the immediate supervision of President Capt. Frank Ingalls and Su perintendent J. II. Carpenter, is making good head way. True no "busting" boom accom- panies it's 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. r. G. Cotter, Real Estate Agent D. NJ. Field and Capt. Will lls, 1t 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 n in t. work. It's plan, as now laid out before the public, is to put water works and 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 scheme are H. 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, most excellent local journal.
 Mir. Baisdell has been east and is said to have raised funds sufficient to | carry out the whole scheme to the | fullest detail. With such men at the l helm it must meet with success.
 MT. Blaisdell has had much experience | in the starting of various fruits in his | ranch in the Gila valley, inst | east of Yuma, which was destroyed by . the great flood of last year.
 Mir. Horn beck is said to have had . much to do in building up Riverside and Coronado Beach, Cal, where he was somewhat of 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 Yuma must continue to i'm prove.
 The political horizon in Yuma county begins to give signs of change of front. The Democrats are little ahead in making up their slate for the county officers. The weather indicator now points somewhat like this:
 Sheriff, Ed Mays; Treasurer, Dr. P. d. Cotter; Recorder, D. NJ. Field Dis trict Attorney, Lam Purdy; Assessor, Capt. A. 0. Willis; probable Judge, ieo. Knight; County Surveyor, l.. A. Hicks Councilman, Thos. Gates Mem per of Assembly, D. M. Field.
 On the Republican ticket so far the shows that the following gre willing to serve their country:
 Sheriff, Robert Hatch, Treasurer, F. }. Ingalls,; Recorder, J. l.. Redondo; District Attorney, Sam Purdy; Assessor, VA. Werninger; Probate Judge, F. l.. Ewing County Surveyor, l.. A. Hicks; Abe Frank; Member of Assembly, s. s. Gillispie.
 As the prohibition party has only me follower in town, he has not as yet made up his ticket.
 l.. A. Hicks would probable be nomi- lated for the assembly, only for the act that he is now county surveyor, ecretary of the prison, manager of the Yuma Times, chief engineer Yuma lights company and of the Cargo duchacho Mining company. U. $. al am md nj At hnI [ minor positions and many think that le has enough, for the present at least.
 The excitement in Yuma has quieted town and peace reigns. Delegate NJ. J. Sugent has returned from the Chicago convention and explained all. He says hat the thing is all right. Cleveland 8 nominated and this satisfies them all. )nly one question remains unsolyed, md over this the "unterrilied" are mad, and that is that after Cleveland las been nominated and Hill has 'bburied the little hatchet," after the 'unwashed" in congress have wiped ut the silver bill and converted, trane- erred and revamped all of the Demo- ,ratic silver men and made "gold bugs" ,f them, and knocked the great silver question out of the politics of the Dem ,cratic party in Arizona, after Tammany las lariated the tiger, and bowed to the inevitable. then that two of the great braves. the real sachems of Tammsny, hould come out and accuse our Arizona delegation to the Chicago convention of ,olding their hands behind them and fl receiving share of that half million lollars which that 'immaculate" w. ,. Whitney, ex-cabinet minister of with the four other ex-cab- net ministers of Growers, are said to lave paid out to secure his nomination.. low our Yuma "Dems" are mad. Not
