Yuma Reservation Allotment

The United States government
 IS making preparations to allot the
 Yuma Indian reservation. This does not mean that the country is
 to be thrown open ard that there be chance for the whites to scramble over and grab arabic lands the same as there was in Oklahoma. This time, as far as it known, the whites are to be kept out. It is to to be allotted in severalty. There are A 500 acres of land in the res- ervation. Those who are supposed to know estimate that 10000 acres will cover the number of acres to be divided among the Yuma Indians.
 Surveyor-General Green is look ing every day for the return of the surveyors from the reservation. When their report is made up he will forward it to Washington and then the government will proceed to make the allotments, based, of course, upon the number of Indians on the reservation.

NUMBER 39.
Growth of the Nation.

1 Some eastern statistician, who
 evldently does not have his bread
 to earn and who takes more pleas
 ure than the average schoolboy
 does In using his slate and pencil,
 has figured out how many inhabi-
 tants this country will contain in
 the year of grace 1889. He shows
 that our population Tn 175O was 1,2OO,OOO.' At the end of thirty years 1t had increased to 2,945,OOO.
 In thirty years more, or in 1910, the nation numbered 7,239,881. In 104O our census gave us a popu- lation of 17,069,453. It is now fully 65,O00,OOO.
 At this rate of increase our popu- lation in 1920 will be about 16O,OOO. GOO, and in thirty years more, or in 1850, it will reach to 4O0,OOO,OOO. Should achild born this year reach the age of hundred he will be one of the 1.OOO,OO0,O0O people who will inhabit this country. To make himself known to all his fellow citizens he will be obliged to rise early, remain up till late, and get about lively all day. If he acquires only local reputation it will be necessary for him to be known by as many people as now live in the ten most populous States.
 It will require a large sum of money then to carry Presidential election. Taking the census will then be big job, and the chances are that one will not be completed till the time comes round for com mencing another. The President will then need several ablebodied in order to shake hands with all who call on him to pay their respects and make application for office.

An editor out west having been asked if he had ever seen a bald headed woman, replied: ''No we never did, nor did we ever see a woman waltzing around town in her shirt sleeves with a cigar be- tween her teeth and run into every saloon she saw. We have never seen woman go fishing with a bot tie in her hip pocket, sit OF the damp ground all day and go home drunk at night. Nor have we seen a woman yank off her coat and swear she could lick any man in town. God bless her, she ain't built that way.

That's Right.

An exchange says: We some times meet with the individual who boasts that he has no use whatever for a newspaper. And what kind of a specimen of the genus homo is he? A man with narrow Ideas; of meager culture; of small public spirit, of little genuine knowledge of today; who is forever being taken advantage of in all his business transactions because he is ignorant of market value and ruling prices and has no knowledge of industrial opportunities. Such a man is universally poor, and will always remain so. He will be plodder, living in futs, and moving only in we'll worn grooves.

The oldest paper in the world is, of course, in China. It is the King Pan, is the official journal of the empire, and was founded in 9l1. Originally it was published internationally, but after 1861 it appeared every week. In 1904 it was converted into daily, and now issues three editions a day, and sells at about cent a copy. The morning sheet, printed on yellow paper, is devoted to commercial news It has circulation of about 5000 copies. The midday issue conta ins official documents and general news, and the evening edition. printed on red paper, gives the latest intelligence and extracts from the two previous editions. The paper is conducted by six literati supported by the State.

ANCIENT CANAL
AS Described by An Ancient Yuma
 Indian.

Indian.
 Now Yuma comes to the iron
 with an ancient canal system, on,
 that was in vogue before the com
 ing of the Aztec or Toltec, and be
 fore the Montezumas had reached
 the birth place of the "Plancha.
 Ge Plata," or Cortez had dreamed
 of the wealth of the western world
 It is true. The story can all be
 proved by the ancient ruins of the canal and by the legends of the old, old Indians, who have gone or are rapidly going away, never to return. It is good story, but the best of 1t is that the denizens ot that ancient pueblo have just found it out.
 It is now more than 25 years since four or five of our principal citizens were at the Real dei Cas- tillo, where they met old Quero Largo, that veteran Indian, then
 MORE THAN 150 YEARS OLD,
 AS proved by the records of the old mission here, for he was 155 when he died, and this was only a short time before his death; who came into our camp and sat down. Din her was nearly ready and we in- vited the old chief to dine with us, which he did. When we were through and had a smoke, the old man, through his interpreter, be- gan to talk to us of the past. While telling us of the thousands of people who once lived in the valley of New River he mentioned Yuma, where the old man said there used to be another great | canal, great cities and thousands 3f people. As we had all been in 1 Yuma, at once we felt anxious to near more of
 THE HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH.
 While talking, evidently to make it more plain, the old man marked out the line of the canal in he sand, as he. said his great, great, old fathers had told him and howed it to him when he was 'oy. He began up the Colorado omewhere near Picacho; for this peak, as he marked it out, had a harm for him. His line lay from ] big rock in the river, near the north side, then across a level alley, thence along the river bank 0 near another big rock in the iver; thence along the foot of the nesa to 8 narrow rocky place in he Gila river some miles east of 1uma, where he said they had a lam which the big waters, mean ng the floods, at times washed way; then he marked his line own the south side of the Gila to where Yuma now is, where he said he river ran at one time, where he town then stood, when he said n time great
 EARTHQUAKE CAME, Killing some, injuring many and tightening thousands away to the mountains, many of whom never eturned. He run his line around 1 orth and west of the hill where Id Fort Yuma then stood, now he Indian school, and where the anal and Gila united with the Colorado. The old man said that he earthquake broke the hill in { wo, at a point between the Ari- ona prison farm and the Ynma ndian school, but not enough to ct the river through, but he said here came another earthquake nany years after, which made the rack in the hill wider. The h. ians went to work and made a unnel of this crevice, so as to arry the water in their canal own into the valley to irrigate heir fields, and built their canal

Si quent, where are they now? Gone
 the white man comes," and he hiC
 his face in his hands, as if over come with grief.
 WHAT DO WE FIND NOW? Engineer George w. Norton, whC
 is locating Yuma's great canal having finished the preliminary
 work and found it feasible, finds evidences that this old Quero Largo canal did have it's headgate at Hinton's rock or island just below Picacho, that between there and Castle Dome four miles of the canal still exist i'll the Ortego valley, through which both Capts
 Polhamous and Mellon have run their steamers at high water Tn years gone by, that more than two miles of good canal still exists in the Laguna valley and that it's course would carry the canal to the rocky ford at the narrows near Gila City.
 Evidences are yet seen of the old canal between Yuma and the Mexican line. Some years since l traced 1t for miles. That this can be utilized there is no doubt. The Colorado now runs between the prison and the Indian school, only when, as in '91 it takes notion to take it's old channel and run around the hill and straight line for Ell Rio. Engineer Norton is now convinced, so is Yuma, that the old canal did exist, did irrigate thousands of acres of the best land on the coast and supported tens if not hundreds of thousands of peo- pie the same
 THAT YUMA's GREAT CANAL Will do when once it is finished. acres of rich and fertile soil lying in the bleaching, blasting desert sun, are waiting to bring of this valuable portion and give in return the richest and earliest fruits grown in the great southwest. It means 5000 families with 20 acres each, which means 25,O00 people cultivating the soil and great section wealthy and prosperous, which now is only 3 barren waste. With such a ca nal Yuma will awake from her profound slumbers to find here, no not her present sleepers, but those who come, will make her
 THE MISTRESS OF THE NILE OF THE
 WEST.
 Besides such a project as this, storage reservoirs and pumping plants are not in it. With the grand old Colorado as the natural md constant feeder of such canal system, what cannot be done along ts like and on the magnificent soil which will be supplied by it? It does seem strange, that the old canal should have left so many evidences of it's existence, only to ,e found at this late hour. Itseems strange still, that amid all the ir- 'igation projects now under con- alteration, that this, the best most easible of all, should be left until he last. It is another case, of "the pest of the wine at the last of the east"
 Though Yuma has suffered with loses of land grant fights and ;anals on paper, four in hand engineered concerns; yet now, at ast, she is on the high way to prosperity, certainly, provided that his last, newest and best project is carried out to completion. The ield is wide one. It has neither { md or side lines, then why should Yuma not prosper if the canal is quilt? Only wish we had such ,ne, here Tn San Diego to wake up me sleepless and have a stop to ,ur eternal, internal dissensions.
