Is on the High Road to Prosperity
The way in which Yuma is building
up is certainly most satisfactory to all
residents Of the town, the surrounding
county, and the territory at large.
There ia one new brick business block
in progress of construction, and many
houses of less pretensions are appearing
in different portions of the town. Do
not understand that there is any boom
about it, at sill, bit the growth is steady,
constant and 81 bstantisl. With a rich
agricultural and mining country
surrounding it for miles in every direc-
tiop, the reason for Yuma's material
progress is very PLAIN.
The growth of orange, lemon and lime
trees iD and around the city by the
Colorado is just SIMPLY wonderful,
and leads an observer to the conclusion

culture are peculiarly combined here.
In j. W. Dorrington's ard is a sample
of the prolific growta and bearing of
orange, lemon and lime trees Nearly
every one of the lime trees is so heavily
loaded with fruit that in order to save
them, it Is nscessary to prop up the
limbs with poles. Que Of the trees, be-
fore the weight If .ts crop was realized,
lost several large limbs.

q great figure in the markets OF the
