 of Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

A white man first set foot on what is bow Yuma County in I'll. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and tne of the four original counties of the Ter ritory. Many great reclamation projects are However on foot, and in few years ex- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest ;n the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali crnia 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 Arizona, the new empire Of the West, upon whose undeyeleped riches the eyes Of the country are at present turned, and as snch' she is bound to grow and prosper with +anidity that at present can hardly be re- aized. But coupled with her geograpnl- cal positioa we find that she is the center efa country whose agricultural posSloili- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by a soil the fertility ot which s.ceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting only water to become paradise ol bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious suid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction 7s taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters oi 4hs yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

Miss Kittie Macauley has been Motif
ed by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs
through Major Wootten, that she has
been transferred to take the position as
teacher at the Fort Lapwai Indian
boarding school at Lewiston, Idaho.
Miss Macauley regrets leaving Wads-
worth and its hospitable people. There
is no question but that Miss Macauley
has made a great success with the In
dian school at Wadsworth, and that she
has a special talent in i~nstructing the
Indian youth. The children at Fort
Lapwai will undoubtedly reap great ben
efts from her teaching, and their prog
ress will be noted.

A Good Time.

Although on Thursday evening last,
the wind blew, moaned, swept past cor-
ners and caused even doors and win
dows to complain, we Noticed that it
had no effect on our young folks, as a
merry party assembled at the residence
OF Rev. I. l.. Bellam. The main fea-
lures OF the evening were singing and
instrumental music. A game introduced !:

amount of amusement, especially to
Mr.. McKinstry, who took quite an active

Lovely Woman.

Things must reached a very exciting
stage ill the City of San Francisco when
representative ministers declare that
they will no longer receive women alone
in their studies that the female of the
churchly element must be accompanied
by parent or guardian, or husband or
she cannot hold converse with the pas
tor in the sacred recesses of the pastor
ial study. This public pronunciamento
followed close upon the heels Of the Rev.
C. o. Brown-Mrs. Davidson escapade,
and the men OF God are evidently each
one afraid that it will be his turn nett
to fall into the arms of some siren, or
into the clutches Of some blackmailer.
At the same time that woman, lovely
woman, is being barred from the com
pany OF the ministers, except in the
presence of witnesses, Senator David b.
Hill is clamorous that she should be ex-
Guided from Washington.-Bee.
