SELF-ACTING AND PERFECT SAFETY VALVE
Relieving the canal at short intervals, Of its sur

banks, and causing great damage generally, no
alone to canal, but property owners all along the
| line, who may suffer more or less damages there
after for the want of water owing to the damaged
condition of canal and while such repairs are being
made. Not only is it valuable to relieve canal Of
its surplus water, to prevent damage and ex-
pense but by its use the first cost of canal con-
struction will be materially lessened, as the banks
need not be made so high wide.
The device is extremely simple, and COMPARE
lively inexpensive Its plan of operation Is this:
There is pipe fastened to opening in the
vertical gate, 1. When the body of water rises to
the level of the upper end OF pipe, 2, water runs
freely into the tank 8, which is Immediately filled,
thus overbalaneing the weight, 4 which is on the
other end of lever 5, thus forcing open the gate
which suddenly relieves the canal Of large sur
plus of water. When body of water recedes below
certain level, no more water is admitted to the
tank; therefore empties itself by 8 small faucet
opening, 6, at the bottom; this being done, the
weight overbalances tank, and brings down the
lever, which, being rigid to the swinging gate,
closes it, This operation continues at short In
tervals, so long as the body of water keeps rising
over certain level. The lever, gate, pipe and
tank are all rigid, and hinge, or pivot On heri-
zontal shaft. The gate, hume or b9x can be made
any height width, or length desired. The gate can
be hinged between any bulkhead without box
The Water Gate is Perfect Safety Valve, and is
to body of water what a safety valve is to steam.
They can be made any size, corresponding with

Resources
Of
Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

A white man first set foot on what is
now Yuma County in III. 1t is the
southwest division of the Territory, and
one of the four original counties of the Ter
ritory. Many great reclamation projects are
however on foot, and in few years ex-
pect to see Yuma County rated as the
richest in the Territory.
The first glimpse the traveller from Cali
fornia catches CT Arizona is that of the
picturesque town of Yuma, which is Snugly
situated in the embrace of gentle rolling
bills, upon whose crests and sides the
modern homes of our superior civilization
are crowding the adobe dwellings into
eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to
Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon
whose undeveloped riches the eyes Of the
ountry are at present turned, and as such,
she is bound to grow and prosper with
rapiGity that at present can hardly be re-
allied. But coupled with her geographi-
cal position we find that she is the center
of a country whose agricultural possiblli-
ties ere practically unlimited, being sur
rounded by soil the fertility of which
exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and
wanting only water to become paradise OF
bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious
fluid have annually gone to waste at
Yuma's very doors, but already reaction
is taking place and many enterprises are
on foot to supply the life-giving waters of
the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

LANDS AND sOILe.

The lands of Yuma County comprise the river
Bottoms and valleys and the uplands or mesaS. The
bottom ands are moister and slightly more fertile,
if, indeed, it 10 possible to make comparisons
where all are wonderfully productive and prolific.
The uplsnds mesas warmer and, perhaps,
slightly better for the cultivation OF citrus fruits

POLICE MATTERS.
City Marshal Trickey Makes Some Rec
concentrations in Regard to the Force.

In the annual report of City Marshal
Trickey, which is now about to be print
ed, the following recommendations are
made:
That five additional patrolmen be ap-
pointed, one of whom shall take the
place of some experienced officer, who
shall be specially detailed for detective
work.
That officers absenting themselves by
reason of sickness shall furnish the
marshal with certificate from the city
physician, or some other reliable physi-
clan.
That two cells be constructed in the
basement of the city building specially
for women. The placing OF drunken
men and women in the same cell room,
the Marshal considers improper; also
that one cell be padded for insane per-
sons.
That two new police signal boxes be
added to the system, one at the corner of
Spring and Emery streets. and the other
at The corner of State and Cumberland
streets.
Iu regard to the special officer at the
City Building, City Marshal Trickey
says: 'The necessity for appointing a
special officer in the City Building, which
arose during ex-Mayor Ingraham's adj
ministration, no longer exists. and do
not deem it advisable to appoint such an

SLEEPING IN A BURNING HOUSE.
Residents at 65 Green Street Moved Out in
a Hurry Last Night.

Last night at about half-past eleven,
as Mr.. Eugene Blodgett was going
through Green street, ne saw smoke
pouring from the house No. Is. The
house was occupied by Mr.. Elisha S.
Bibber, who lived in the lower tenement,
and Mrs. Percy Harmon. All in the
house were asleep when Mr.. Blodgett
rang the bell and told Mr.. Bibber that
the building was on fire. Mr.. Bibber's
family consists of himself and wife, and
retired without undressing. He assisted
his wife to the house of nei ghbor. Mrs.
Harmon had time to save some valua-
bles, and with her little boy also sought
shelter elsewhere. The fire apparently
started in the partitions on the second
floor and spread from there through the
walls to the attic, breaking out through
the roof and sides of the building. 1t
was not extinguished until several
streams of water were put in play in ad-
dition to the streams from the chemical
which were first used. AS the fire spread
it made dense smoke which poured
from the windows and caves of the
house. The roof was burned through
in places and also the walls, and the
building was wet down. 1t was little
after o'clock when the all out was
sounded. 1t will take several hundred
dollars to repair the damage. The
alarm was pulled from the box on the
corner of Green and Gun. berland streets
by MI. Blodgett.
Mr.. Bibber has an insurance ON his
furniture of 1,O00 placed in the agency
of Dow &Pinkham. Mrs. Harmon had no
insurance. With Mrs. Harmon boarded
Miss Susan Oman and Miss Taylor of
West Kennebunkport. Miss Oman was
at an entertainment and Miss Taylor
was in Kennebunkport. Each of them
had clothing and personal effects in the
house. Mrs. Harmon took out few
articles belonging to Miss Taylor. The
house is owned by Mr.. George F. junk
ms and is understood to be insured.
