Neither does anyone connected with the

he had written - w. 5. Howell. at his

considerably from that Of the Irish. and

TWENTE-FIFTH VOLUME,

With this issue the SENTINEL enters on new volume and the twenty-fifth year of its existence.
 At no period during the life of the SENTINEL has there been such depression and stagnation of business in general as during the past year. Of late though, the dark clouds which have been hang, ing over this section have disap- peared entirely, and I can now safely assure my readers that a prosperous future is daWning upon us.
 With the completion of the monster canal now being surveyed by Engineer G. W. Norton for the South West Improvement Com pany, and the development of the many rich mines at our very door, and last but not least, with a climate that its equal for salubrity cannot anywhere else in these United States be surpassed Yuma will at no distant day be one of the largest and grandest cities in the Territory.
 AS in the years gone by I shall continue to advocate emigration the advancement of education anC the development of the minera and agricultural resources of Yuma county in particular and the Ter 1Ttory in general.

The desert places being reclaimed; bounteous rains have given abundance of pasture to our herds; the mines yielding their treasures. The hIsbandman rejoices in the generous product of the farm; the merchant, mechanic and all classes of toilers enjoy renewal of trade, which estab- fishes confident hope for the future. Our health restoring and health preserving cline has insured us against epidemic, pestilence and many forms of disease. All the factors of civilization planted and experiencing a subtantial growth. These con ditions should invoke spi irit of gratitude thanks giving and praise to the Giver of so much good. Mindful of the principles the Pilgrim fathers planted on our shores, and the time honored cus- tom of more than c injury, and in conformity with the proclamation of Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, I, Louis c.

Am0NG THE ICE DEALERS.

The firms that will sellice this sum-
mer are M. J. Hovey, William B. John
son and Gilman Brothers. The latter
is a new firm in this business and they
have made several large contracts
and will also supply family trade as
far as they are able.
The dealers will sell ice by the pound
this summerinst of by the season.
For 100 pounds or less at one deliv-
erv the price will be 25 cents a hun
dred pounds. Where a larger guam
titv is ordered at one time lower
price is made. The dealers found that
many customers were wasting ice
last season, and owing to the eX-
tremely hot summer their supply OF
ice ran low. This year the customer
will get just as much ashe wants and
will pay for what he gets. Quite a
number of our merchants who use
large amount OF ice have procured
their own supply, believing that they
can save money by so doing.
Whether this is true or not we have
no means of knowing.
