l.. F. Bradshaw and l.. Kane o
 Creede, Col, reached Yuma, Tues
 day in a rowboat, from the Needles
 Interested by the reports they haC
 heard of the vast wealth, in tht
 gold belts of Yuma county, they
 started out to see if one half o
 these were true. On their way
 down the river they stopped at
 Ehrenberg and went back into the
 gold belt that extends to, and on
 beyond Harqua Hala, and to their surprise, found, as they say, the
 most promising gold region that they have ever seen. Both are old and experienced mines, and com petent to judge of a country when they see it, and associated with them, are some of the wealthiest mining men in Colorado and in the east. Without waiting to con- suit with their associates, so well satisfied were they, that they at once secured what they consider an excellent gold property, and ordered a mill built at once. They will put in a large pumping plant on the Colorado river and will pump their water about ten miles to the divide in the hills, from whence the water will flow in pipes to theIr mine. They will build for their own use a small light draught, swift steamer for the river. MT. Bradshaw says that if the wealthy mining men of Colo rado could see, what they have seen in the last two months, there would be such a stampede to Yuma county as Arizona has never yet seen. MT. Kane was one of Col. R, B. Stanton's party that came down through the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. Both are firm believers in the feasibility of navigating that portion of the great river by boats propelled by electricity, manufactured by the force of the swift current in that wonderful canyon, with which both are familiar. They also be- lieve that all of the valleys and mesas in Central and North west ern, as we'll as those in the north ern portion of Arizona can be irri- gated with water raised by the same power. They expect to leave for Denver to-day, where they will over see the construction of the machinery for their mill, which will be located about 22 miles from Ehrenberg. They had with them some beautiful specimens of white gold quartz, and others of gold in iron rock, and also in galena They were among the richest ever seen in Yuma.

 The great hole in the Gila river, was explored Tuesday by Sam De Corse and a river Indian, who went into the water, dove down and examined the whirlpool, which they found to be about nine feet deep. Upon going down the river they found, that while on the sur face the Colorado was running up the Gila, that three feet below, the current was very strong running out into the Colorado, and that down the stream, just before the Gila joins the main body of water in the Colorado, the black, thick water of the former came to the surface. This settled it.

How we Grow Old.

The thread that binds us to life Is most frequently severed ere the me ridian of life is reached in the case of persons who neglect obvious means to renew falling strength. Vigor, no less the source of happiness than the con- dition of loug life, can be created and perpetuated where it does not exist. Thousands who have experienced or are cognizant-including many physi- clans of eminence-of the effects of Hostetter,s Stomach Bltters, bear testimony to its wondrous efficacy as a creator of strength in feeble constitu- tions, and debilitated and shattered systems. A steady performance of the bodily functions, renewed appetite, flesh and nightly repose attend the use of this thorough and standard renovant. Use no local tonic repres- ented to be skin to or resemble it in effects in it's place. Demand the genuine, which is an acknowledged remedy for indigestion malaria, nervousness. constipation, liver and kidney complaints and rheumatism.

That structure has stood the rise splendidly, with water three feet in depth over it, through 600 feet of spillway. Both the dam and the canal are now ready for business. The water in the canal has reached Gila Bend. The canal stands the pressure we'll.

Government Ownership.

We demand government ownership Of
railroads. That is one Of the plsnks of
the Peoples party platform. Populists
believe in that wonderful instrument,
the national constitution. What does it
ssyP Congress shall regulate commerce
between the states, among the Indian
tribes and with foreign nations" It
was too great power, thought our fore
fathers, to leave in the hand of the in
diVidual, or even the states; but con-

commerce Who regulates it to-dRyY

taken out Of the hands Of the people and
given over to privileged class Of pub

Three winters ago, one Of the severest
known, the farmers Of Kansas had their
barns full Of corn, but no fuel; they
were freezing. The miners Of Pennsyl-
Vsnis had thousands Of tons Of coal out
but were destitute Of provisions. They
said, "let us exchange the products Of
our labor" But the corporation SAID,
I'VE want q bushel of corn to haul q
bushel TO the miners; and bushel Of
coal to haul q bushel to the farmers;
we want all the traffic will bear" They
prevented commerce between the states

The government pays $3.50 to have q

Francisco and the railroad makes q

sixty people, and at $50 each the public
pays 5000 for the same service, at q
snugger profit

a rise in transportation rates and the
people pay dividends on the wstsred
stock. They then take the million dol
lars received for the stock and buy up
the California legislature to get their
taxes reduced.
Could not the government own and
operate this monopoly in the interest Of
the people9
In the whirlpool of the financial crash
that is sweeping this country, railroads
like the rest have suffered. When a
railroad fails, owing to bad management
or other cause, the law provides that q
government receiver shall take charge
Of it, employ men, pay all expense and
operate the road independent of the own
ers till such time as it shall become
again financially sound, when Uncle Sam
grRciously turns it over to the company
to be wrecked again as their profit, plea
sure and cupidlty may dictate.
How kindl
This has just been done with the trans
continental line, the Northern Pacific.
1t is under government control to-day,
and will remain so till it can be extri-
Gated from its present difficulties.
Gould made millions by wrecking
railroads for the government to build up
and put upon good paying basis.
Now, il the government can take q
worn out, broken down railroad involved
in financial ruin, and re-estRblish it in q
short time on sound business basis,
how much easier would 1t be to take q
new road, and own and run it for the
benefit OF the people? Government can
do it; and it would be not only success
but blessing to the people who are
robbed continually by the heartless,
grinding sxactions Of soulless corpora
tions. Let us then have government

WHAT THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, IN
PENNSYLVANIA DID IN 1914 TO 1919,
On the 18th of December, 1919, the
house Of representatives Of Pennsylvania
appointed a committee of investigation
to report the cause Of the distress then
experienced by the people Of Pennsyl-
vaniR.
The committee, through it's chairman,
William ]. Duane, on the 28th Of Janu.
ary, 1920, reported as follows:
"In defiance of all experience, and in
contempt Of warnings, almost prophetic
which were given to them at the time,
the people Of Pennsylvania, during an
expensive war, and in the midst of great
endorsements, established forty-one
new banks with q capital of 8l7 100000,
with authority to issue bank notes to
double that amount.
X
"a new measure, however, remained to
be adopted that was really to close the
last scene in the drama Of error. Bank
currency had nearly vanished y
when congress created a corporation in
1916, with authority to issue SlO0,OOO,0OO
Of bank currency-a corporation with its
branches over the union, with the bale
full influence Of the tabled upss."
y X 4 II
Let these historical facts warn the peo-
pie. We are now entirely rid Of state
bank currency, and congress can, at any
time, rid the country Of the national
bank currency, and the members Of con-
gress who vote to again curse the coun-
try with state banks Of issue, or to per-
petuate the national bank currency,
should never thereafter receive the sup
port Of the people.-The National View.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-09-20
Warning Voice Of History,

O4ADSA EbDuCD Om9A Va AtG O8AA9ASH AAONS
the 9Th Of March TO the 18th Of May,
1919, said: "The bank was saved and the
people we're ruined. For time the queS-
tion in Market street, Philadelphia, every
morning, was not who had broken the
previous day, but who yet stood. In
many parts Of the country, the distress
was as great as it was in Philadelphia,
and in some places it was still more de-
plOrRble."
All this might have been avoided had
congress continued to issue irTedeema-
bic United States notes, not bearing any
interest, and made full legal tenders
equally with coin, instead OF having
again chartered the United States bank
to rob and plunder the people. Expert
ence 10 the best teacher, and with this
history OF a sad experience before uS, let
us see who in congress dare to vote for q
repeal Of the tax that rid the country Of
the curse Of state bank currency. A vol
ume Of full legal tender silver, gold, and
United States notes sufficient to carry on
the business Of the country with Cash,
will forever prevent money psnics and
commercial crashes. The cash system Of
business the country demands, and will
have.
WHAT NILES REGISTER SAID IN 1919,
Niles Weekly Register OF April 10,
1919, contained the following: "FrOm
all parts Of the country we hear Of o
severe pressure on men in business, q
general stsgnstion of trade, large re-
duCtion in the price of staple articles,
real estate 10 rapidly depreciating in
value, and the rents or profits are exceed
ingly diminishing. Many highly re-
spectacle traders have become bankrupt,
and it is understood that many others
must 'go.' The banks are refusing their
customary accommodations. Confidence
among merchants Ia shaken, and 3 per
cent. per month is offered for the dis
count Of promissory notes, which little
while ago we're considered Rs good Rs
old gold,' and whose makers have not
since suffered any losses to render their
notes less valuable than heretofore"
Niles Register Of August 7, 1919, said:
at is estimated that there are 10000
people daily seeking work in Philadsl-
phis; in New York 10000 sble-bodied
men are said to be wandering about the
streets looking for work; and IL we add
to them theswomen who desire some
thing to do, the amount cannot be less
than 10000; in Baltimore there may be
about 10000 persons in unsteady en-
ployment, or actually suffering because
they cannot get employment"
Niles Register Of September II, 1919,
copied the following letter from q Ken
tuckisn TO the Edwardsville Spectator of
Illinois: "It has always been my opin-
ion that Of all the evils which can be in.
Aicted on q free people, state banks Of
issue are the most alarming. They are
vultures that prey upon the vitsls Of the
constitution, and rob the body politic of
its life blood"

extent and causes Of the evil by which
they are oppressed, and that the records
Of the senate may be furnished with q
document which may afford evidence at
q future day of the miseries which it is
possible to inAict on a people by errone-
GUS legislation, and by bad Rdministra-
tion Of incorporated institutions.
"In ascertaining the extent Of the pub
lie distress, your committee have had no
difficulty to encounter. + Your
committee can safely assert that dis
tress unexsmpled in our country since
the period of its independence prevails
throughout the commonwealth. This
distress has exhibited itself under the
varied forms Of:
II. Rulnous sacrifices OF land and
property at sheriff's sales, whereby, in
many cases, lands and houses have been
sold at less than q half, a third, or
fourth OF their former value, thereby de-
prlving vast number Of the farmers Of
their homes, and Of the fruits Of lRbOrious
years. \
%. Forced sales Of merchandise, house
hold goods, farming stock and utensils at
prices far below the cost of production,
by which many families have been de-
prived Of the necesssries of life and Of
the implements Of their trade.
"3. Numerous bankruptcies and pecun-
isry embsrrassmsnts Uf every dsscrip-
tiop, as well among the agricultural and
manufacturing as the mercantile classes.
"a. A general scarcity of money
throughout the country, which renders
it almost impossible for the husband
man or the owner Of real estate to bor-
row at q ruinous rate Of interest, even
where landed security Of the most in
dubitRble character is offered as q
pledge. y
"5. A general suspension of labor, the
only legitimate source Of wealth in our
cities and towns by which thousands of
our most useful citizens are rendered
destitute Of the means Of support, and
are reduced to the extremity Of poverty
and despair.
"Ths cause is to be found chiefly in the
abuse Of the banking system. y +
For = " these abuses the people
have to reproach themselves for having
urged the legislature to depart from that
truly republican doctrine Of our early
assemblies, and which taught that the
incorporation Of the moneyed interest,
already sufficiently powerful OF itself,
was but the creation Of odious aristocra-
cies, hostile to the spirit of free govern
ment and subVSrsive Of the rights and
liberties Of the people.
"The severity Of the second pressure
commenced in Philadelphia in October,
1918, and was continued without inter
mission for year, at the expiration Of
which time, it is said, that the contrac-
ton made by the United States bank
alone, has exceeded 100000, and the
contraction by the state banks probably
1900 900 or S4,000,000 more.
