Our New Electric Light.

No event in Yuma has awakened more interest in her present and future prosperity, than the turning of the valve, by Chief Engineer R. R. Wheeler, which electrified and illum- mated old Yuma, Monday evening with the new electric lights. A few hours before, steam had been turned on. and the beautiful engine and magnificent dynamo and electric ma chinery had been put in motion, with out hitch or jar and the old town. which less than two years ago, had succumed to the great flood Of '9l, now revelled in it's fine electric lights. We'll may Jeff Davis, the chief cleo trician, Chief Engineer Wheeler, his assistant Dan Connor and President H. w. Blaisdell, feel proud over the success which has attended their efforts to place Yuma, among the most prosperous towns of the coast. The s. P. Hotel, stores and business houses of town presented a most brilliant appearance. Yuma IS the fourth town in Arizona to enjoy this, one of the great improvements of the 18th century. Old Tucson was the first, Phoenix the second, Prescott the third, and now comes Yuma, the coming town of the southwest with it's lights, the finest and best of them all.
 The new lights will be extended to and light up Yuma Heights and Or ange avenue. President Blaisdell has already sold all of the lights which he first ordered, and considered sufficient for months if not years to come, and finds that many more are wanted. To meet the demand he has ordered new dynamo, which will soon be here. A large number of private residences are having the lights put in, as the light is safer and cheaper all things considered than the old kerosene light.
 The great pumps of the new water works are nearly ready to start up. Day by day adds new beauties to the new town of Yuma Heights, while Orange avenue, is gradually being transformed into the most beautiful driveway on the coast. With an abundance of water, fDe soil, and it's lovely location it will soon vie with the finest boulevards on the continent, Water soil and perpetual summer climate will soon tell the story.

The First Law of Nature.

This self-preservation is ackIowl- edged to be, and people who adopt against the encroaches of disease a genuine medicinal safeguard, accred- tied by experience and the sanction of physicians, afford happy illustra- tion of the wisdom of the saying, in the health they restore and continue to enjoy. Among maladies, against the growth of which Hostetter's s Stomach Bitters affords efficient pro- lection, diseases of the kidneys and bladder are fraught with the utmost peril and exhibit great obstinacy when opposed by ordinary means. The Bitters can and will subdue them.
 No testimony is stronger than this.
 Used at the outset and persistently, the best results may be expected.
 This medicine also eradicates liver complaint, constipation, dyspepsia, malaria, rheumatism and nervousness.
