NEW BRIDGE AT YUMA.
Splendid Steel Structure Built by the Southern Pacific Railroad Is
 Now Practically Completed.

P B. Hodges, a prominent butcher of Yuma, was IF town yesterday. h regard to the bridge being constructed at Yuma, he said:
 .'FThe magnificent Southern Pacific railroad bridge under construction is practically completed and the finishing touches will he made within a very few days. The upper portion is built Of steel, there being no wood in the structure, except the ties of the track, while the four piers are concrete. It replaces the old bridge across the Col orado river and is built on exactly the same location, yet in the course of it's construction no regular train has been delayed over ten minutes. and includ- ing the switch trains loaded with gravel for the concrete there has been an average of probably twenty trains over the bridge in one day. It would seem that such frequent traffic would interfere materially in the work, but it has not caused many disadvantages.
 "The gravel which enters the con crete moulds is brought in on flat cars from El Rio. At the top of the piers eastern fine gravel is used and the sur face is as smooth as marble. 1 do not know the cost of the structure, but the citizens of Yuma have variOusly estimated it at from $400,000 to $500,- eco. It has been under construction for nearly six months, starting on the California side, and has furnished em- pIoyment for about ninety men.
 "The first work was driving piles in the water crOsswise, to the bridge and supporting it 50 that the weight could be taken eff the old piers. Tongue and groove piles were driven around the piers, fitting snugly together and com pletely encasing them to the exclusion of water, while the water remaining was pumped out. Excavations were then made below the bottom Of the river and from there piles were driven to bedrock with their heads protrud- ing as thick almost as matches in a bunch. It is on these pile foundations that the piers rest.
 The bridge proper is nearly 400 feet ill length. while the draw-biidge is about 150 feet long. When I left Yuma Saturday the company was test ing the bridge with freight train and two engines. While the train was sta tiOnary between two piers the eXpan- sion was only three-sixteenths of an inch, and before the bridge is entirely completed the company expects to per feet the structure so that the expansion will be merely nominal

FARM
How inc Work There is Being
 Conducted.
Interesting Experiments Carried on by Professor r1CCIafChIe, inc Di- rector, for DefirmiHina Products Best Adapted for Arizona.

The experimental farm near Phoenix is an interesting place of observation, these days, at time when the almond and peach trees are in bloom and na- ture is awakening from the apology for a nap, that it takes in southern ATi- zona during the so-called winter sea- son. A reporter for The Republican paid the farm a visit yesterday in company with Prof. A. J. McClatchie. the director, and was pleased to ob- serve the improvements recently made and the number of new agricultural experiments entered upon for the com ing season.
 The new office building, situated close to Grand avenue on the east side of the farm, is the most permanent inn provement that has been made during the past year. The building is octag- Onal and is surrounded by a porch. It is fitted up with desks and office fur niture and pigeon holes for the t1ling and classification of bulletins issued by this and other stations. A number of specimens of fruits grown on the farm occupy a portion of one side of the OAAE0 lOOu. OAe u tAe oDJeclS or ln- terest is a jar or two of dates grown last year at the station The fruit is as sweet and lucious as any imported. One of the palms at the station bore about 150 pounds of most excellent dates, but all have been given away to visitors and sight seers, who begged the privilege of tasting this rare fruit. grown in Arizona. The last dates were plucked from the palms on January 16, it having taken all winter in ripen-
