The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subjection the rise of water in canal, due to an over-abund ant flow, or to sudden rises in the canal owing to severe rains storms.
 It is particularly valuable to haee such Water Gate placed in lower bank of canal, at such points along it's line Where there are Ravines, Gullies, ArrOyOs, Foot Hills, ButteS, or Tableland, as any rains or storms bring down at such points surplus of water that is very dangerous to the banks of canal. The Waste Gate, however, will prevent such damage, as 1t IS
 SELF-ACTING AND PERFECT SAFETY VALVE Relieving the canal at short intervals, of its plus water, thus preventing the washing away of 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 afterfor the want of water owing to the damaged condition of canal and while such repair. are being made. Not only is it valuable to relieve canal of it's surplus water, to prevent damage and ex- pense, but by it's use the first cost of canal con- sructiOn will be materially lessened, the banks need not be made so high wide.
 The device is extremely simple, and compara- lively inexpensive Its plan of operation is this:
 There is pipe fastened to opening in the vertical gate I. When the body of water rises to the level of the upper end of pipe, ?, water runs freely into the tank 3, which is immediately filled, thus Overbalancing the weight, 4, which is the other end of lever, 3, thus forcing open the gate, which suddenly relieves the canal of a large sur plus of water. When body of water reeedes below a certain level, no more water is admitted to the tank. therefore G0lpJ6S lJSelI Dy q SLndll IduC6b opening, G. at the bottom; this being done, the weight OveTbalances 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 a certain level The lever, gate, pipe and tank are all rigid, and hinge, or pivot, on hori- zoatal shaft The gate, Hume or bsx can be made any height width, or length desired The gate ca be hinged between any bulkhead without box.
 The Water Gate is Perfect Safety Valve, and is to a body of water what safety valve is to steam. They be made any size, corresponding with body of water and size of canal. It is secured by letters patent, and for sale only by

YUMA COUNTY.

A white man first set foot on what is How Yuma County in l77l. It is the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties of the Ter ritcry. 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 of Arizona is that ot the picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugly situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills. 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 A,izona. the new empire of the West, upon whose undeveloped riches the eyes ot the
 ountry arc at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographl- cal position we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural posslblll- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by a soil the fertility Of which exceeds that of the delta oi the Nile, and wanting o1ly 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 SOILS.

The lands Of Yuma County comprise tine river bottoms and valleys and the uplands or mesas. The bottom ands are moister and slightly mere fertile, if, indeed, it is possible to make comparisons where all are 50 wonderfully productive and prolific. The uplands or mesas are warmer and, perhaps,
 l better for the cultivation ofthe citrus fruits.

CHICAGO, March 29.-Three members OF
the board OF trustees of the State Home
for Juvenile Female Offenders were given
a practical illustration last evening Of the
INSTRUMENTATION which has reigned among
the inmates for several weeks past Mrs
Charles Henrotin, Mrs. J. d. Harvey and
Mrs. q. NJ. Holt spent the afternoon at the
home and took supper with the inmates
The thirty girls confined In the home took
advantage of the presence of the repre-
sentativcs OF the board of management to
show what they could do In the way Of
rioting.
They succeeded so we'll that they smashed
nearly all the crockery in the house, dis
mantled the dining room furniture, broke
windows, threw the contents of tho pantry
about the premises, filled tho air with
shouts, and then refused to go to their
rooms Mt tho command of the police. 1t
required three wagon loads of policemen
to quell the riot, aud IL was found neces-
sary TO carry the majority of the girls to
their rooms by main strength and to leave
apoliceman on guard through the night
at the door of each room. ssra
The outbreak was the result Of a meet
ing held by the girls in the afternoon,
when 1t was decided to show by breaking
the furniture resentment for the Partially
shown by the management, as claimed by
the girls, for Mamie Davis, who was al
lowed to go homo Mamie Davis the girls
claim, was the ringloader among them.
At tho supper table the girls were models
of proprioty, and listened to the remarks
of Mrs Henrotln and the other members
OF the board of managers with attention.
These woro calculated to show them the
wrongfulness OF Decentralization.
During the riot Mrs. Henrotin and the
other ladies were forced to remain in the
room and witness the scene, the girls hay
ing locked the doors.
