Mohawk Canal.

After long time of trihulation, anc hope deferred that made many heart sick, the affairs os the Mohawk Cana Company are at last straightened out and this splendid enterprise is about to enter upon an era of progress and prosperity It has never yet seen. Owing to long series of mismanage- meat and unexpected reverses, the settlers and land owners in that magnificent portion of the Gila bottom lands, in Yuma county, known az the Mohawk valley, have been harrassed and development set back until patience had not even semblance of virtue.
 The last straw that almost broke the camel's back was the failure of the Pacific bank in San Francisco. That institution had been back of the Mo- hawk canal enterprise, and when It went to the wall the canal company's affairs became entangled in a chaos of financial difficulties. There was no money for improvments and none for repairs. In consequence there has ol, ! 1E gation, and even long standing crops of alfalfa were in danger of dying out. Other parties, however, have now taken hold of the enterprise, all debts have been settled, the company will be reorganized on sound financial basis, and all those interested are satisfied and jubilant. All this means much to Yuma county.
 It means that an immense tract of land within our borders will be at once developed, and the growth of it's products will prove an advertisement of our resources the physical facts of which cannot be disputed. It means that the successful cultivation of the Mohawk valley will lead to the re- demption of all the available lands tributary to Yuma, and an increased prosperity and wealth for this comrau- nity,

A Distressing Deaah,

A very painful and sad death occurred here last Wednesday. Mrs. Romero, an aged woman liv- ing in Antelope valley, on the Gila river, was brought here the middle oflast week suffering from the laying in her nose of the eggs of a diptera insect supposed to be the green "blow-f1y." When taken from the train at the depot, the groans and sobs of the poor un- fortunate woman were heaTt-rend- ering. The dropping of maggots at short intervals from her nose was something horrible to see. She was too far gone on he arrival and medical skill could do nothing for her. The maggots worked their way into her brain and death re- lieved her of further suffering. These deadly flies generally enter the nose of a person when sleeping in the day and lay their eggs. In q very short time the eggs breed maggots and if medical attendance is not at once secured death fol- lows.

a little now and then, with a gentle, cleansing laxative, thereby removing of- lending matter from the stomach and bowels, toning up and invigorating the liver and quickening its tardy action, and you thereby remove the cause of a multitude of distressing diseases, such as headaches, indigestion, or dyspepsia, biliousness, pimples, blotohes, eruptions, boils, constipation, piles, fstulas and Tnaladies too numerous to mention.
 If people would pay more attention to properly regulating the action of theft bowels, they would have less ire quent occasion to call for their doctors services to subdue attacks of dangerous diseases.
 That, of ali known agents to accom- plish this purpose, Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are unequa1ed, is proven by the fact that once used. they are always in favor. Their secondary effect is to keep the bowels open and regular, not to fur ther constipate, as is the case with other pills. Hence, their great popularity, with sufferers from habitua1 constipation, piles and indigestion.

Emplo5meEI of Teachers.

The new school law contains pro- vision which does not seem to be generally understood and in the ab- sence of che understanding may lead to complications. it is provided among other things that newly elected trustees must take part in the employ, ment of teachers for the coming year. The new trustees have already Ceen elected, but their predecessors are still in office and will be until after June 30, so that the new members cannot immediately qualify. Teachers ther . fore, cannot, be employed until after that date except in districts where no elections were held, for the reason that there were no trustees whose terms were expired. In such districts the employment of teachers may take place ct any time. This matter has been brought to the notice of the superintendent by a proposition in some districts to hire teachers for the Enext tyear.-Tempe News.
