A MAD POET

rushed into newspaper office recently, and threatened to "clean out" the es- tablishment, because they printed his verses wrong. Said he q wrote, 'To dwell forever in grot of peace,' and you idiots put it z a pot of grease.'" 1" The mortified editor presented him with a vial of pr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. years subscription and an apology.
 The little "Pellets" positively cure sick and nervous headache, biliousness, costiveness, and all Arrangements of the stomach, bowels aud liver. It's large contract, but the smallest things in the world do the business -Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They're the small- est, but the most effective. They go to work in the right way. They cleanse and renovate the liver, stomach and bowels thoroughly but they do it mildly and gently. You feel the good they do-but you don't feel them do- ing it.
 They're the cheapest pill you can buy, because they're guaranteed to give satisfaction, or your money is returned.
 You only pay for the good you get.
 That's the peculiar plan all Dr. Pierce's medicines are sold on, through druggists.

MILLIONS OF WATER.

Gan the Colorado river furnish water enough at all times to irrigate the 6,500,000 acres of rich and fertile lands which lie adjacent to Yumal The lowest stage of water known in the Colorado, for A years, was in the month of March, when it stood at l2 feet, or four feet eight inches lower than at the present time. The flow of water at that time, as taken by the U. $. government engineers, was 7,65S cubic feet per second. The average height of the water in the river on March lst, for l4 years, has been IT feet and 1. 3 inches. For the same period, the average for May has been 22 feet, for June p feet 3 in- ches, for July l9 feet 8 inches and for August IF feet 94 inches, or an aver age for the 4 months for l4 years, of 20 feet 5 inches, or 100000 cubic feet per second, or water enough; taking the average amount of water used per acre for irrigation in Egpyt, India, Spain, Italy, France and the United States, which is 2S0 acres for every cubic foot of water, to irrigate 28,- 000,000 acres. or enough for Yuma's 6,500,000 acres, and then more than enough to float any steamer from here to the gulf that ever plowed the tur- bid waters of the Colorado. People when talking on this subject seem to forget that this great stream is at it's flood just at the time, when water Is most needed for irrigation. during the sotr months of May, June, July and August. Even at the lowest stage ever known, l2 feet, it would irrigate 2,l44, ,240 acres. These figures, which are the results obtained from some of the best irrigation engineers living, show conclusively that there need nevor be any fear of exhausting the supply of water in the Colorado for irrigation purposes, even though they are not based, upon the vast amount of water that can be stored, if 1t was necessary to do so, between the months of September and April, or the fall and winter months when no water is necessary for irrigation.

A GRAND ENTERPRISES.

With all the improvements being made throughout Southern Arizona, none are of more local value than those in progress in the beautiful Mohawk valley under the auspices of the Mohawk Orange Grove Associa- tion. A new town to be known as Orangedale, covering GAO acres has been cleared off and laid out. In the center of the town a walled lake is being built, with an area of seven and one-half acres, which will be supplied with water from the Mohawk Canal. The streets are being graded and will be set out, as will all the lots in town, to cypress palm. pine, locust, date palms, cocoanut palms. lime, lemon, orange, fig, apricot, pear, plum, nee tarine, cherry, cottonwood, walnut, butternut, chestnut, pecan, mangoes, loquat, cactus and other trees and vines. Col. Geo. W. Norton, the manager, has 100 men and 50 teams at work on the grounds putting them in shape for the trees and vines. Thus step by step is Yuma county advancing from her old appearance, as a desert waste, to that of one of the finest fruit producing sections of the Pacific Coast. Where ever the soil and water is being brought together in our magnificent climate, success is crowning the efforts of those en- gagged in the enterprise.

The beautiful navel orange tree in the garden of Mayor Frank threw open it's blossoms to Yuma's pleasant climate, on Tuesday last, February 7th. The new figs and lemons in several gardens, are as large as acorns, while the trees are loaded with blossoms. The apricot and peach are also in blossom. Just week ahead of other years. These are the earliest harbingers of our lovely spring time.

kernel is just turning into dough, the aftergrowth from the same roots has produced a good cutting of hay, or good feed sand pasture for stock for the fall and winter. The same may be said of other kinds of grain. The Cocopah and Disgueno Indians have raised four crops of good corn per year on the same piece of land, The writer has seen and eaten good roast ing ears of corn on May 9th, and the fourth crop on the same ground on December 24th. True, their corn is small six rowed variety, the earl fest known. It has been known to ripen in six weeks from the day it was planted.
 Coming down to fruits and vines, it is a well established fact, that lines blossom as early as January 14th, lemons January 24, apricots, oranges, entrants and mulberriss Feb. 7th, and that figs, mulberries and apricots are ripe by April l4tb, grapes blackberries watermelons, and cantaloups May 27th, and that Black Hamburg and Golden Ohasselas grapes for years have been ripe June lst. Watermelons remained on the vines nice, fresh and sweet down till January A, 1891, and till Feb. 24th in 1892, that weighed from 40 to 60 pounds each. Writing today Feb. 7th, the new lemons and figs on many trees in Yuma's gardens arc as large as acorns. By Nov. lst our oranges and lemons are rips and ready for market. Several fig trees in Yuma have been known to bear four crops of figs in one season. In these early fruits lies the profit, here where they are from four to six weeks earlier than ip any other section of the United States, and ready for market, sold a1d the cash in the growers pock. cts; and these are the strong induce ments held out to the farmers, miners and fruit growers to come to Yuma, invest their money and labor, help to build up this, the richest portion of ths great southwest, and to reap the grand results which must follow the investment of capital and labor, where soil, climate and water contribute so much towards making every dollar and days labor invested, safe and a guarantee that the returns shall be hundred fold.
