YUMA COUNTY.

A white nan first set foot on what is BOW Yuma County in TIT. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and ane of the four original counties of the Ter ritcry. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years ex- Poct to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 Ehe first glimpse the traveller from Cali ornia catches Of Arizona is that of 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 .ArigGna, the new empire of the West, upon whose urdeyeloped riches the eyes of the country are at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with a rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural possibGi- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting only water to become paradise of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious fluid hare annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, butalready reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on foat to supply the life-giving waters of the yellow Colorado tc the thirsty earth.

dress and carried his audience with him.
Sergt. Maj. Charles c. Hemming of a

Dy reclting war memories of his capture
az Missionary Ridge; his imprison-
as spy for the confederacy
under Jake Thompson, securing informa-
tion or ornaments and equipments of all
the federal forts from Milwaukee to Ma
CARA, on the lakes. His captures and es-
capes with his parole at AppomattOx made
a male both graphic and interesting. He

Jacksonville, the place of his birth and
resting place of his dead parents, and now
the time had come when his dream was to
be realized, for last Saturday he had con-
tracted for the shaft
A curtain had concealed a beautiful
drawing of fine monument Just like the
one Will look which he Will erect. The
curtain was dropped as he spoke ana

scene never touched and stirred the hearts
of people here. Gen. French will have
charge of the erection of the monument
When completed 1t will be turned
