some interesting data at those places,
which was read and explained by Mr..
w. C. Mclean, who demonstrated by
facts and figures the benefits which
have been derived by the aforesaid
cities since the establishment of water
works and electric lights. He said
that first-class system could be put
in here for possibly $4,000, or at most
$50, 900, and bonds could easily be
fioated at 8 per cent, which would be
$1,000 per anuum interest. The citi-

YUMA COUNTY.

4 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 ritery. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and iu few years ex- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The 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 Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undeycloped riches the eyes of the country are at present turned, and as such, she is bound to grow and prosper with rapiditv that at present can hardly be re- aHzed. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that che is the center of . country whose agricultural possiblll- ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and wanting oaly water to become paradise Of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious a1id have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place and many enterprises are cn foot to supply the life-giving waters of sEe yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth
