 RIVERS CT YUMA COUNTY.
 In regard 70 climate, healthialness, fer sility and prOductiveness of soil, facilities for cultivation, irrigation and abundance of water supply, variety Of resources and cheap transportation by rail and by water, no part of Arizona can surpass Yuma county, which is destined to become one of richest and most prosperors counties in Arizona.
 It lies between 32o 0G' and 34' 20 north latitude and ll3' lO' and Il40 40' west longitude 1t contaIns 6, ,&88, 320 acres. It is about as large as the States Of Rhode Island, Connecticut and Delaware con- bised, or as large aseither New Hampshire, Vermont or Massachusetts.
 The western boundary of Yuma County is formed by tue Colorado river which separates Arizona from Cal;forni4. The county is bounded on the north by Williams Fork and the Santa Maria river, whose waters flow into the Colorado; on the east by the counties of Pima, Maricopa and Yayapai, and on the south by Sonora, Mexico. It's county seat is the town of Yuma.
 The Colorado river drains the entire ter ,yitsry of Arizona, and every drop ot water which falls on its mountains and plains finds its way to this mighty river. It is formed by the union of the Green and Grand rivers, fed by the streams which rise ia the Rocky Mountains, and the melt ing snows cause q greater depth of water |, in this river n summer than IT winter, thus ;:suTnishing the nest water at the season when it is most required for the purposes of irrigation and agriculture.
 It will be seen that for the entire distance along it's western boundary, Yuma County possesses the great advantage of cheap water transportation.
 The Gila river rises in the western part of New Mexico and is fed by numerous ssrsams, among Ehe most prominent of which are the San Pedro, Agua Fria, Has gayampa and Salt rivers. It flows west through Yuma County and empties into the Colorado at the town of Yuma.
 Yuma county, traversed by these great rivers from its northern to its southern, and from it's eastern to its western bound. aries, possesses a far greater water supply than any other county in the Territory, and more thanrcall Je found in all Cali Hernia.
 This water is now being diverted from it's natural channels by means of numerous large irrigating canals, and utilized for the purpose of retaining and irrig"ting the immense tracts Of lands which lie in this favored country, and which arc as fertile as any in the world.
 4sgne Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the Colorado river at the town of Yuma and runs through the county, following the generol course, and at an average distance of about four miles south, of the Gila river, rendering all the lands susceptible of irri- gation and cultivation, Can dnd an easy outlet irg this way and can be trsnspcite 70 all the markets and oenters of popolatioD in the East or West.
 Anot5er competing railroad is projected from San Diego, California, to the town of Yuma, and thence along She north side of the Gila river. Thus Yuma County will .1ave exceptional railroad advantages.

RAIN

Showers, and indeed heavy rains are liable to occur in every month of the year; but the actual number of rains seems to an eastern visitor strangely small. The average rainfall in Southern Arizona, as shown by the Government observations, is but S1a inches per year.

TRETTEL ARRESTED.
A Charge of Grand Larceny
Preferred Against Him by K
Az Albert Peters. II

DOnat Trpttel, resident land agent
for the Northern Pacific, was placed
under arrest Monday evening on Il
charge ut grand larceny, Albert
Peters, q farmer Of the town Of RAN
dali, causing the warrant to ne
issued. .a.,..a.,r 2s@..r@
The facts In the case as told by
Peters are that in April. 1896, he
bought some railroad land through
Trettel, and at the same time Trettel
made arrangements with a business
man OF the city to procure money to
pay the railroad company. Peters
gave a mortgage to Trettei for the
business man at that time. and the
business man gave the money to
Trettel, and the latter was to furnish
Peters with the deed. Trettel has
never furnished Peters with the deed.
Peters also gave Trettel two other
mortgages, one to himself for $lO5,
and one to Mrs. Trettel for $40. but
Peters does not know Of any value
he received for them. Trettel
secured the money, but evidently did
not make the proper use Of it. The
railroad company cannot afford to
baveits agents, 50 careless, and Mr..
Trettel is making an effort to secure
the deed for Peters at once. A.
Trettel ia the agent of the company,
it is possible there will be some In
vestiga ton of what the second two
mortgages were .f0r-as 1t does not
appear they were any part OF the
purchase price from the company.
TretteI secured bail, and no date
was fixed for the hearing.

the Time of the Train.

st. Cloud Journal Press: While
the caterpillars which infest this
latitude this year are consummate
nuisance. it was not thought until
the other day that they were an

that the train-NO. Is, the through
freight for the west-was delayed an
hour and forty-five minutes between
St. Paul and st. Cloud by the
presence of the caterpillars on the
track. The insects crawled on the
warm rails during the evening and
were crushed by the locomotives
wheels with the result that the track
was rendered slippery and the sched-
ME time could not be made.

CLARKE'S SALE VOID.
The Supreme Court Holds that
the Log Sale to Mcclure.
Was Fraudulent.

Some time ago Lucus Kells, a.
signee for N. p. Clarke, brought suit
to have the sale of a large amount
OF logs made by Clarke to c. p. Nc
Clure set aside, on the ground that
the transfer was made to defraud
and delay the creditors. The dis
trict court decided in favor OF Kells,
and the supreme court susta'Ls
Judge Baxter in the following de-
ctsion rendered Monday:
Lucus Kells az Assignee Of N. p.
Clarke, ETC.. Respondents. W.
Clarendon P. Mcclure. Appellant.
First-In an action by an assignee
in Insolvency to set aside "a transfer
nv his assIgnor GU the ground that
1T was in fact made to hinder, delay
and defraud creditors, it is compe-
tent for the purpose OF showing 1.-THE
Insolvency Of the assignor to put In
evidence the books Of account and
records, duly verified, pertaining not
only to the indi vidual business OF the
asslgnor, but also that Nf co-part-
nership of " ich he was member.
Second-Evidence considered and
held that it supports the findings OF
the trial court to the effect that the
plaintiffs assignor made a hill OF
sale of quantity Of logs to the de
PENDANT with the intent to delay and
defraud his creditors and that the
defendant then had notice OF such
intent.
Third-Held that the assignee did
not ratify such transfer as to credit
ors by the mere fact that some OF the
notes given for the purchase price
came into his hands as such assignee
and were retained by him until the
trial of this action.
: Fourth-Held that the trial court
did not err in refusing to mo01fy Its
conclusions of law 40 as to permit
the defendant to pay the value OF the
logs instead Of susrenderiIg the logs
and lumber manufactured therefrom,
nor in refusing to provide for an &C.

featuring such lumber. Order al
