Some Street Improvements.

General extentiOns and improve ments of the yards and tracks of the S. F. railaoad at Yuma have been commenced Madison avenue is to be double tracked from a point near the $. F. hotel to Third street, which some of our people thought might prove detrimental, but we are pleased to say that Mir. Randolph has dispelled those fears by author izing Ethe complete macadamizing of the avenue with Gila City cement gravel, which will permanently inn prove aud beautify the street. In addition to this, Mir. Randolph will have the grade on first street cut down and widened some, and the city will be furnished with enough cement gravel to macademize that street from the tracks to the summit of the grade. The tracks on Madi- son avenue are to be buried, so that only the tops of the rails will show, thus making all parts of the street available for wagon traffic. If all railroad officials authorized to build and extend facilities would show the same consideration for the welfare of the people we would hear but few complaints against railroads.

Commissioner Binger Herman has is- sued the following circular to registers of the United States land offices which
 is of general interest:
 Registers and Receivers, United States Land Otfice-Your attention is called to the provisions of Sections 2 and of the Act ot Congress, entitled, ''An act for the relief of the Colorado Cooperative Colony; to permit second homesteads in certain cases, and for other purposes" approved June 5, 1900, (Public-No. l48) copy of which sec tions is hereto attached.
 Section ? provides that any person who has hitherto made a homestead en- try and commuted same under Section 230I, revised Statutes, and the amend ments thereto, shall be entitled to the benefits of the homestead laws as though such former entry had not been made, but communication under Section 230l, Revised Statutes, shall not be allowed of an entry made under this section.
 Section 8 provides that any person who, prior to the passage of this act, has made homestead entry, but from any cause has lost or forfeited the same, shall be entitled to the benefits of the homestead laws as though such former entry had not been made. Therefore, you will not hereafter reject home stead application on the ground that the applicant cannot take the prescribed oath that he has not previously made such an entry, or because he has per- fected title under Section 230l, Revised Statutes, to land entered under the homestead law; but he will Oe required to show by affidavit designating the en- try formerly made by description of the land, mum Der and date of entry, or other sufficient data, to enable me to identify the same on the records of thls office, and that it was forfeited or commuted, as the case may be, prior to the passage of the act.
 In any case where the former entry was made subsequent to the date of the acl, the rule given on page l9, circular of July II, 1899, remains unchanged. It will be observed that an entry made under Section cannot be perfected by communication under Section 230I, Re- vised Statutes. The fact that applicants have purchased, under the provisions of the act ot March ?, 1899, (25 Stat, 87l) lands patented to the Flathead Indians in Montana shall not be held to have rights by or on account of any such pur- chase.
