The Gffa Valley

The GiTa valley Is one Of the most prosperous sections Tn the Southwest. Frue, we have no nnillionaires among us, but we have set eS people, here who know how to bring wealth ozt c4 the soil. It has not been many years since this valley was vast wilderness, with no apparent prospect of it's re- efarnation. But when the hardy pioneer entered the valley and turned the waters of the wonderful Gila on to the thirsty soil, an instantaneous change was perceptable until to-day it is one of the choicest spots on earth. During the hard times when thou sands of people east and north were starving the people of this valley were in easy circumstances, and the reason is simple one; it is because our peo- pie are industrious, and our soil so wonderfully productive, when brought under cultivation, through irrigation, that our people are self-su staining.
 The valley is basin entirely sur rounded by rich mining camps, to which the surplus farm produce IS shipped and always finds ready cash market. Our hills are alive with pros pectors and new mineral discoveries are being made daily.
 Now harvest time is at hand, and although the frost damaged the wheat crops to some extent the farmers will receive a good cash price for what they do raise, and the hay crop will be abundant, for which fair price can be expected.
 Let the people stand firmly together for their own interests and the whole valley will become bee hive of in dustry.-Grahan, Co. Guardian.

How Mahany Pronounced It.

The other day Congressman Stone oi Pennsylvania, who is one of the prac- tical jokers of the house, approached MT. Mahany of New York who is an authority on Celtic orthography and ortheopy.
 "Mahany," said Stone: chow would you pronounce this word," and he spelled it out very carefully-"M-a-c H n-e-r-y?"
 "That's easy" said Mahany; "that's the name of an old Irish dook-Mac- Hinery, little bit of Danish mixed with Milesian."
 "You are mistaken" said Stone "that is pure English, machinery.
 Mahany collapsed Don't tell any. body" he implored. "If that got out among the Irish of my district it would ruin me" Washington Post.

The Meanest Person.

YUMA A RIZONA, SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1S9
Coin Made of Tree Gum.

The mint officials" of the MaIayan peninsula claim. the distinction of 4coA4ia1gn the most unique p5eces of money now in use in the world, says a. St. Louis Republic writer. This cr- rious ''coin" is simple a thin disk or wafer of hardened vegetable gum, the original source of supply being the boIa tree and bluff of emery sand Dozens of trusty officials are constant Iy employed in collecting the bola gum and sitting and pounding the sand which is to be used as "alloy." The coins so struck are not only unique and curious on account of the material used in their composition, but because they have the least commercial or ex- change value of any medium of barter known among either civilized or say age men. No other piece of "money" in existence can be acquired with such small expenditure of time or goods as the bola gum "coin," consequently such pieces are valued very lightly by those unlucky enough to come into possession of a few million of such disks. It is almost impossible for an American whose ideas Of minimum money value are associated with the cent piece to frame & very definite conception of the small value of this standard of exchange. We consider the cent piece as being ofno particular consequence, yet it could be readily exchanged for 5000 freshly minted bola gum coins and $40 gold piece could be traded even for whole ship load of such mediums of barter and exchange"

HANNA AT CANTON
In Private Conference for an Hour
with Major Mckinley.
CABINET MATTERS NOT DISCUSSED
Said To Have Only Talked Over Minor
Details Incidental to the Inaugura-
tiOn---Other Prominent Callers
on the President-EIect.

Canton, O., Nov. 1s.-Major McKin-
again been postponed, and it is an
nounced that he will not leave Canton
for another week at least. The presi-
dent-elect is enjoying comparative rest
at home, and Mrs. McKinley's health
is rapidly improving. So long as
these conditions exist it is quite
probable that Major Mckinley will
not be found anxious for q change.
Chairman M. A. Hanna and a party OF
fir ends came down from Cleveland
yesterday afternoon. Major McKin
ley went to the Valley depot to meet
his visitors, and they were driven di-
rectly 80 the Market street home. Be
sides Mr. Hanna there were in the
party Gen. w. M. Osborn, J. N. Hus-
ton of Connersville, Ind, who was
United States treasurer under Presi-

Mite. Mr.. Green enjoys the distinc-
t On of being the son of the wealthiest
woman is the world, Mrs Hetty Green
of New York. After a brief period
devoted to the exchange of congratu-
lations the visitors took luncheon with
Major and Mrs. Mckinley. Chairman
Hanna and the president-elect then re-
tired to the latter's private Office,
where they remained in consultation
for over an hour. 1t is understood
that the cabinet selection was not dis
cussed, but only minor details incl
dental to the inauguration were talked
over.

BLACKS INAUGURAL.
New YOrk's GOvernOr-elect Anxious for

New YOrk's GOvernOr-eIect Anxious for
as Little Display Possible.
Albany, Nov. 1S.-Secretary of State
Palmer has consulted with governor
elect Frank s. Black concerning the
inaugural ceremonies on January l, and
he has placed all the arrangements in
the .secretary's hands. 1t is the wish
of Governor-elect Black, however, that
the ceremonies be as simple as possi-
BILE. He is averse TO display and real
ICES that the inaugural ceremonies
occur at season of the year when the
weather is liable to be severely cold
and stormy and to keep men standing
in line waiting for the formation would
be hardship. For that reason he pre-
fers that there should be no large de-
monstrations of clubs and other bodies
who have expressed a desire to par
ticipate. In all probability the only
escort will be detail of the national
guard, with the usual ceremonies in
the assembly chamber. Later on an
announcement will be made giving the
arrangements in detail.

The Famous Naval Authority Voluntarily
Leaves the Service.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Capt. Alfred
I. Mahan, U. s. N, who has been
placed on the retired list at his own
request at the end of forty years
bervice, enjoys the distinction of being
Dne of the most famous naval writers
IN the world, and in this respect he is
better known abroad than in this
tountry. His book on the Influence
Of Sea Power on History is regarded
rs standard work by the great naval
powers of Europe. The United States
hawai- war college at Newport, r. l., is
his creation, and the curriculum there
was devised by him. The announce
ment of his voluntary retirement was
received at the navy department with
Estonishment, as he would have been
promoted to the rank of commodore
within a few months and could then
have retired with increased pay. 1t is
thought he must have been forced to

literary engagements, as of recent
years the duties of active command
have interfered SO much with the
work in which he stood pro- \ent
that he has several times limited his
friends that he contemplated leaving

Results with the Aid of Electricity.
Bayonne, N. j.. Nov. 1S-William
A. Eddy has discovered that photo
graphs of houses and streets can be
taken at night, owing to the wide
prevalence of electric light. The first
outdoor electric light night photo
graph on record was taken by him at
D:45 p. m, Nov. 9, 1896, and includes
faint view of the corner of Avenue B
and Fourth street, Bayonne, followed
by clear view at $3.50 D. m. of the
torner and trees of the grounds for

On Nov. 13, 1896, twelve exposures
were made at Bayonne between IL p.
tween 8 p. m. and l. a. m. twelve ex-
posures were maze in New York,
including Madison square and the
New York postoffice. The photo
graphs in New York reveal whole
blocks and streets. Mr.. Eddy says
the discovery will be valuable to the
press by making it possible to take i'm
portant photographs in time for the
morning editions. Some of the
Bayonne photographs are so clear
that the carbon in an electric light
globe is discernable, and the houses
hre as clear as if taken by daylight.
