The San Diego, Phoenix and
 Yuma Railroad.

San Diego has for many years
 and is still suffering because it has { not got direct east line of rail-
 road to Yuma. The present rail-. road to Yuma IS as ''round-about" as mule shoe, for it takes twenty eight hours and 375 miles of rail travel to get to Yuma from San Diego, which includes forced stop over night at Los Angeles, while by the direct-east line of railroad which San Diego wants badly and must have, it will only take four hours and 175 miles of travel, making by the natural short route saving of over twenty-four hours of time and over 200 miles of rail travel over the present round about tiresome and time consuming desert route. AS an illustration of San Diego's present disadvantage in this matter of reaching Yuma, Phoenix and the east, we will state that one can start from San Diego and reach Truckee, on the other side of the Sierra Nevada noun tains, quicker than one can reach Yuma. Also, one can travel by stage at an ordinary gait and reach Yuma from San Diego quicker than you can travel by the present rail route. Now, such conditions of affairs should not be permitted to exist any longer. They are like that of the sea captain who refused to enjoy good living when he had 8 larder full of good provisions and meats, which he had but to cook to enjoy. So, with San Diego, it has but to build the direct-east line of railroad to bring to it the full en- joyment of the rich products and mines of Arizona. It is here natu- rally IL is here by the natural right the same that governs waters running down hill. It is here if she will only build the direct-east line of road. And we know that San Diego now will. San Diego has waited for twenty-seven years to see a road come to its bay via the old Tom Scott, Texas and Pacific route. But none has come. Twenty-seVen years Is large DOT tion of mans lifetime, and We are glad to know that the enter prising pioneers of San Diego, who came to its beautiful climate and magnificent harbor in 1868, at the invitation of Tom Scott and the Texas and Pacific Railroad, have concluded to see that the direct east line of railroad is built in their day, and hence we will soon see the black iron-horse of commerce. crossing the mountain meadows of Campo, and then on with a rush to Yuma, Phoenix and the east-"the shortest and best transcontinentaI route in the United States, ,"-as was truly said 4 years ago at San Diego by Leland Stanford. The determination to do work is half the labor done. Now let's do the other half - and prosperi - San Diego World.

To Eat Watermelon.

Just now every body wants to know
how to eat watermelon SO as to get
all the lusciousness there is in it.
Anybody can cut a melon open. slice
it up. and in some way devour the
eatable part. But the cutting pro-
cess spoils the flavor. A Georgia
payer tells how the Georgian does it.
In the first place he takes off his coat
and rolling up his shirt sleeves to the
elbow, he poisss the melon high
enough above a stone or stump to
break the rind without dashing it
open. A watermelon is like fruit
cake; it should be broken. not cut.
Inserting his finger into the crack he
pulls it open. One-half is compare
lively empty. all the heart remaining
in the other side. To this latter
half, which is practically the whole
melon, the epicure now devotes it,
self. Setting it down upon the
ground with its great crimson heart
bullying upward. he plunges one
hand down inside the rind on either
side and lifts the entire heart out in
one solid lump as big as his head.
Leaving what remains on the rind
for the pigs or the picaninnies. he
seats himself in the shade and bites
from the cool, Grim son heart as bow
would eat a large pear. AS one
sugary mouthful after another car
ries delight to the INFER man, and
the wealth of the juice trickles down
chin and elbows, all earthly ills are
for the time forgotten, and that
Georgia cracker is happy.

Use 1t in Time.

Catarrh starts in the nasal pas
sages. affecting eyes, ears and throat.
and is in fact the great enemy OF
the mucous membrane. Neglected
colds in the head almost invariably
precede catarrh, causing an excessive
flow of mucuos, and if the mucous
discharge becomes interrupted the
disacreeable results of catarrh will
follow, such as bad breath, severe
pain across the forehead and about
the eyes, q roaring and buzzing
sound in the ears and oftentimes a
very offensive discharge. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged
cure for these troubles.

The inhabitants of Camp Yellowstone
were surprised and captured by about
fifty ladies today. Owing to the rain
of the night previous the boys autic-
ipated a quiet day. but as the clouds
cleared away about 10 n. m. and the
sun came out your old correspondent

q hot breakfast of crackers and pep

Matt Quay had captured Pennsylva-
MIA, little dreaming that we were in
any immediate danger of being cap
tured ourselves. Zee was walking
around in his night attire, which
composed pair of rubber boots and
boxing gloves, which he says will
prevent the mosquitoes from boring
hole clear through him. The wri-
ter was smoking a South Amana
wrapper with great force;' Noah
and the Japs were on duty on the
parapets; Old Glory was hanging
listlessly in the morning sun. hen the

bouncing into camp. saying: "Massa
Zee, we done gone sure" Then with

We soon upburdened and got into
line intending to sell our lives as
dearly as possible, and soon discov-
cred that we were at the mercy of
our ASSISTANTS, as they had captured
Lee Pau, one of our trusted officers,
but there were dark tints of treach-
cry on the part of this officer, who
will be tried later on by court
martial, and if found guilty
will likely be shot to death with cod
fish balls, but we very reluctantly sur
rendered and were allowed to keep our
side arms. General Wheelan and
the Japs were parolled and were soon
hard at work making it pleasant for
our captors who seemed easy to get
along with.
