YUMA, ARIZONA WEDNESDAY, J UNE 13 I9OO

how long he had been out of the penitentiary and the fact that his chill-blains were not bothering him this weather, he inquired how long he had been married. Three years, the man replied promptly, and re- tired to his room to put on his clothes. His wife entered the re- ception room about that time and was duly questioned as to her ante cedents. The enumerator then ask ed her Low long she had been mar ried and she said -four years" She stuck to it and of course her word had to go. That accounts for an erasure and a blot or two on the blank in the record of one family.
 At the next house all these minor details went smoothly, but there were other questions which were even worse, that did not apply in the first case. Husband was away and no one was present but the good wife.
 "Pardon me, but are you mar ried?" said the census man.
 "Of course 1 am married," the woman replied, ''else I wouldn't be the mistress of - -'s house. hold thought everybody knew I was married
 "How many children?" was the next question.
 "You impudent thing, have no chi!dren," she said. q just got back from my wedding tour to Tempe last Friday"
 At the next house the enumer- ater thought he would use a little more tact and strategy, so after the preliminaries were over he remark ed.
 "You have no children, 1 sup pose?"
 What reason have you to form any such a conclusion the woman said. "I have been married ten years and I think more of my children than any other mother Tn America"
 After getting their ages, sex, place ot birth, etc., the man with the fountain pen said;
 "Pardo1 me, madam, but there are few questions here am re- quired to ask, though they are of a delicate nature and trust you will control your temper in making reply. This IS no triAing matter with me and I do not care to give offense."
 "Out with them," said the wo- man.
 "Well, in the first place, are any of your children idiots?" She glared &t him and hissed q should say not.
 Are they white or colored?"
 Fortunately the gate and dool were both open.--Republican.

THE PRISON FARM.

ly withdrew it's plea for working prisoners on the prison farm CD when it became convinced that bathing suits and diving artitur would be necessary. At the time referred to the island or farm was covered with water four feet in depth It is now under water and will remain so indefinitely, the Colorado river just now being on the rampa ge.-Republican. 4
 The Star has never for moment withdrawn it's efforts to have the territorial prisoners employed on the prison farm. It is true that a section of less than 200 acres of the prison farm is subject to overflow, generally during the early summer months, sometimes during the winter, but all told not more than four months in the year. But this only renders that particular land so much the more valuable, as it is enriched by these overhows. The garden growth is marvellous, as the vi:alizing elements carried in the waters of the Colorado renders 1t richer by 25 per cent than the over. flow waters of the famous Nile, which has made the Nile valley famous for it's luxuriant production after the annual overflow of that historicstream. If the prison garden is now under water It will be only for a short time, and the ground will be left in superb condition af- ter the river falls tor the prcdue- ton of large crop of all kinds of vegetables.
 The Indians who live opposite Yuma raise thelr largest crops on the overflow lands of the Colorado river located on the California side. The prison farm ought to do as we'll, yea, mucL better. But the query arises, why is 1t that the 2,OO0 acres which are located in the valley adjoining the overflow land and the river are not cultivated by pumping water for irrigation pur- poses?
 During the overflow season the water would have to be raised but few feet. At least two or three hundred acres of the rich alluvial lands shound be under cultivation at all seasons of the year. The prison has a pumping plant pur. chased for the purpose of pumping water for the farm. Why is it not utilized for the purpose for whicl it was purchased? The cost woulC be little or nothing, as prison labor could he utilized for all purposes
 The overflow of the 200 acres O land should be utilized for timbe culture. The willow and cotton wood grows with wonderful rapidity and will reproduce themselves witl marked rapidity after being cut of This overflow land could be mad
 to produce 8 rich harvest annual, of wood. The swamps and tn
 borders of the river included in tn
 farm, likewise could be made t
 produce Q vast amount ot wood fo
 fuel.
 The objection which the Repub
 lican raises to the prison farm
 one of it's most valued conditions That is the overflow. What is lack
 ing is the desire or disposition the territorial administration | take advantage of these condition B and utilized them in connectio ]; with idle prison labor and conve
 them into some form of wealth b | which the territory may be partia
 ly relieved of the onerous prise n burden.-Star.

The member OF the Sunday Press
staf who made the pictures shown

the appearance and operation of the
great canal:
Generally speaking the Suez canal is
cut through practically level desert
Of barren and hot yellow sand. There
are few hilly places in it, where deep
cuts were found necessary, and on the
other hand, long flooded districts, in
which expensive dredging was called
into play and dikes were built.
The hot winds along the adjoining
fields are mighty and blow the loose
sand into the canal from either side

lines Of America. II one large

the Indian ocean are weird and glori-

ious blaze Of golden red. Ali around
the horizon are little punches Of tiny,
fleecy clouds, looking like bouquets Of
cotton blossoms against an azure
screen. Soon the heavens darken and
lights begin to play. A mirage is not

light and color plays that follow the
sunset. The horizon is a deep, rich
brown, then big, broad field of white,
flecked with little clouds that seem
black against the brilliant background.
A wonderful purple hue pervades the
water. Then, like burst of fireworks
