To Force Payment.

The cases of w. H. Shorey, P. B.
 Hodges and Dunne Bros, against whom su;t was brought to force them to pay the village license tax, came up Tn Judge Thurlow's court yesterday afternoon. The attorneys for. the de- tenSe, RobPrtso: and Evans, quoted law to prove that such corporation as the village of Yuma had no exist ence, and the city marshal, on being asked where the defendants were do- ing business. replied that he could not tell, inasmuch as there appeared to be no such place on earth as Yuma. Several passages of judicial repartee were indulged in by the opposing at torneys, the court taking a hand oc- casionaliy by way of pouring oil upon the troubled waters. The cases were taken under advisement until today at 10 o'clock when q verdict for the plaintiff was rendered. An appeal will be taken

The Farmers Ditch.

J. V. Taggart, one of the prosperous settlers in the Colorado valley was in town Friday. Mir Taggart states that work on the big gravity ditch IS pro- gressing in most satisfactory manner, there being sixteen four-horse teams, together with number of two horse teams, at work on the Va erwav. It is expected that the ditch will tap the river short distance below the uuar- termaster's building some time during the first part of July. The men anG teams are now working about three miles from the proposed head, having skipped several miles in the center of the ditch. The ditch when completed will be twenty miles in length. run hing to the Mexican line, about seven miles being now completed. It will be forty feet on the bottom, carving seven feet of solid water, which will be sufficiency to irrigate an immense body of land. The completion will mark new era in the progress aud development of the valley, and the vexed land question once settled the growth of the section will be phe- homenal.

THE MOHAWK VALLEY.
J. J. Bowen Reports Excellent Crops
 fer the Settlers

J. J. Bowen, an influential ranchel and superintendent of the Mohawk l, canal, was in town Saturday on busi ness and made the SENTINEL office 8
 pleasant call. MT. Bowen says those
 who have seed in the ground have
 prospects for most excellent crops, and
 the present year promises to be most
 propitious one for the valley.
 The Mohawk valley stretches along
 the north bank of the Gila river, and
 i5 formed by deposits of rich alluvial
 soil. The valley is quite level, sloping
 very gently to the south and west in
 a manner which renders 1t most con-
 venient for irrigation. It comprises a
 portion of the Gila valley, and con
 tains an area of about seventy square
 miles. The head of the valley rests
 against Texas Hill, which lies about
 sixty miles east of Yuma. The Mo-
 hawk valley extends westerly along
 the cnurse of the Gila river, a distance of about twenty miles. At its narrowest point this valley is about two miles wide, and varies to five miles in width. The Gila river forms it's southern boundary. and it's northern boundary is composed of high mesa lands, which offer a protection from north winds.
 The head of the Mohawk canal is at Texas Hill, on the north bank of tn Gila river. and the surface at the head gate lies between two hills of solid porphyry rock about 25O feet apart, which insures against any in jury to the head of the canal by the action of the rivers current. The | depth of the water or the Gila river at Texas Hill, at it's lowest stage, is four feet, and the river, at this point at such time, one hundred feet in width. At the highest stages the river is about fourteen feet in depth.
 The water in the canal comes to the surface of the land, and is then used for irrigation, three miles from the head gate. The average dirt cutting for the first two miles is about twelve feet and for the third mile until it reaches surface, about six-feet. From this point for a distance of twenty one miles the canal can supply all the ands of the valley with an abundance )f water. The canal Is twenty feet on he bottom, with two to one slope ,n the sides, and has fall of two feet o the mile. The fall of the Gila river 1t the head gate Is six feet to the nile.
 Mir. Bowen is very enthusiastic over he future of the valley, there being low an abundance of water in the canal o irrigate the entire valley of 30,000 cres, instead of the three or fcur hundred acres which are now being cul ' ivated. For people who wish to farm nd to farm proper Mohawk valley resents most enticing Inducements { The valley is one of the most beauti- al in the West and has room for thou ands. The land is as rich as that of he famous Nile; crops demanding very tile attention and cultivation, owing 3 the extreme richness of the soil. A eed once placed in the ground and ater applied will grow in spite of e2lect.
 Mr. Bowen will soon take steps to lduce colonists to settle there, and le time is not far distant when peo- le will come to realize the advantages B this valley which have layed dorm Ut all these years.

Birth, marriage and death are tht

 career. All other occurrences art
 merely side issues. Since the down O
 time the consolidation of two heart;
 and two lives has been the time wher
 all humanity was most interested
 'Ils a serious and also a joyous occa-
 sion. The pronouncing of the civil
 ceremony is not the beginning nor
 end of it. The poets have ever sang
 that love rules the world, and if it does not it ought to, because the ex- cellence of civilization and the bulwark of society depends upon the success of true love and the subsequent events.
 One of the most conspicuous we'd dlngS ever occurring in Yuma took rlace last Wednesday evening at s 80 o'clock when Orin Clyde Johnson led to the hymenal altar Laura Bell Peck, the accomplished neice of Mir. and Mrs. F. L. Ewing. Elaborate prepara- tions had been made and the happy event contemplated some time before the day set. The little church on the hill was richly decorated, the splendor of the varied hues of roses and flowers harmonizing with the beauty and chivalry gathered there to witness the occasion. Long hefore the appointed hour the hall was full to overhowing, every available seat being taken by the ladies.
 w. E. Marvin and Roland Pitcher were ushers; Miss Adeline Thompson and Miss Maud Fredley were flower girls; Miss JennIe Sanguinetti and Miss Grace Fredley were brides maids; MesSrs. E. F. Sanguinetti and Rufus Vaughn accompanied the groom, Master Victor Laney was ring bearer. Mrs, Henry Reese played the wedding march as the wedding party entered | the hall from the residence over a path strewn with roses. All eyes were upon the bride and groom, the former leaning upon the arm of Ter uncle.
 In the regular marriage ceremony Df the Methodist church Key Crouch pronounced them man and wife. Mir. md Mrs. Johnson left the hall over he same howery path over which hey entered and all the village hopes hat theIr path through life will eyer 'e as fiowery.
 Alter the ceremony reception was { leld at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. { Ewing and the usual congratulations I Tere showered upon the happy couple 7ho later left for ten days honey { noon on the coast. I
 Mrs. Johnson has resided in Yuma { pr about three years and Is a most 8 eautiful and lovable young lady. She | epresented Yuma county at the last { arrival in Phoenix as the maid Of a Onor to the carnival queen. She is a rOminent church worker and Is con- I ected with the young peoples or f anizations of the church. s MT. Johnson has re sided here for @ f &e length of time and is at present | Onnected with the establishment of f |. F.

Monarch Rising.

We took little ride out to Mon
arch Mills with Mr.. VIM. Brock
n few days ago. We were as
tonished at the sight that met our
gaze. There is every evidence Of
energy and push in the work that is
going on out there. We were there
few weeks ago, and the boards were
up showing where the mill would be
built, and few stakes showed where
the side track would be laid. Now
we find several houses for operatives
already up and the brick and lumber
in place for a dozen more scattered
all over the beautiful plateau Of ele.
waited ground Of which the mill site
forms a part. There are millions
Of feet Of lumber in sight, and an
enormous quantity Of brick and rip
rap stone. The brick masons, car
penters and helpers are as busy as
bees in n tar bucket. The founda-
tion is being laid for the stack, which
will be built in rear and to the right
side OF the mill. The water for all
purposes is being conveyed from the
branch or reservoir at the branch
some distance away, through iron
piping. The building has reached
the floor for the first story which is
now being put down, the pretty brick
columns in the basement supporting
the first floor are very large, square
aud substantial looking, and there
are goodly number of them. Walk
ing on the first floor you get mag
nificent view Of the surrounding
country, this only gives one an idea
Of the grand scene that will burst
upon ones view when the third floor
is laid.
Mr.. FAINT and his men in charge
are certainly pushing ahead the work
Of building the Monarch Mill in the
most rapid manner possible.
Mr.. S. +. Lowry, Of Greenyille, is
in charge Of the wood work, and Mr..
| w. NJ. Moody is in charge Of the brick
work. Mr.. Ed Sullivan is the book
keeper, and Judging from the smooth
manner in which things are moving
they all seem to be thoroughly up to
their business.
Instead Of one they now have two
railroad sidings and come in from
both directions, This makes "Y''
and the engine can now turn around
at Monarch Mill.
We don't think there is prettier
mill site in the State than where the
Monarch Mill is being built. The
building is 13O by l63 feet.
