{ white nan first set foot on what is now Yuma County in l77l. IL IS the southwest division of the Territory, and oRe 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 Ylma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia 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 4ternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway o ariqona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undeyeloped riches the eyes ot the country are at present turned, and as such,
 .. is bound to grow and prosper with a rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural possibili- 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 a paradise of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious Huid have annually gone to waste at Yuma's very doors, utalready reaction is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters of the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.
