CHAPTER XVIII.
The Isle of the Winds.

Now ] had always had a kind of per-
verified pride in my father even when
he was accounted the greatest repro
bate and villain in the country Peo-
pie were so prOdigioUsly afraid of him.
and his fame and name were so con
stantly upon the common lip.
But now, when I saw him every day
in a position of command of 50 vel D.

admiration was greatly increased, and
verify believe that if he hsd shown m.
the least civility 1 should have offered
to join with him. But this he never
Gid. Indeed I cannot say that he took
any interest in me at all. He did not
bid me good morning when I came
into the cabin, nor yet good night when
went off unwillingly to my bunk He
looked over my head as he walked the
deck and, for all my work and IN
weariedness in serving him, he noticed
ne less than any CT the ships boys who
carried the panniknS and emptied the
slops.
But to my mother he was unwearied-
~ kind and unfailingly courteous. Yef

desired to atone for aught or to seeF
any of her favors, but rather as a cour

I have indicated previously in the story
It was on i fine bright evening after

got my first glimpse Of that tropic pear
that 7 was afterward to know so init
mately as the isle of the Winds.
The clouds seemed to have concer
trated themselves in a dense bar
royal crimson which Overhung In
whole western horizon. Beneath. th
sun gathered about him little soatir
wisps Of golden brightness as if b

 The first float bore the Queen of the Montezumas and the Goddess of Liberty and their attendants. The second float was loaded with little girls in costume holding banners representing the diff ferent states of Mexico. Then came the Yuma Fire Department, followed by the Mayor and council in carriages: citizens mounted and in carriages bring ing up the rear.
 Ramon Villa as marshal of the day, deserves great commendation for his able conduct of affairs.
 At p. m., Master of Ceremonies J. l.. Redondo, started the evening enter tainment at the school house.
 Among the principal speakers were Miguel and Manuel Monroy, M. B. DeVane, Pierce Evans A. Contreras J :. NJ. Venegas and Pablo Ramirez.
 Miss Rita de la Ossa delivered an oration which captivated her hearers and brought liberal cheers.
 Miss Artemisa Molina was than in troduced, and delivered a patriotic re- citation in English entitled "The Voyage" She is handsome young lady and a pleasing speaker.
 The Mexican national hymn was sung by nineteen handsome young ladies, who were all dressed in white and inn pressed their hearers by the feeling and force they put in the singing.
 The band played selection after each number.
 On the evening of the 17th the grand ball was given in the new Gandolfo building.
 The music was furnished by Prof. orchestra, and was all that could be desired-it was fine.
 In point of attendance this was the greatest ball ever given in Yuma, and the amply dimensions of the hall, easily accommodated the large crowd com fortably.
 Both the celebration and ball will long be remembered as one of the great events in Yuma-both in point of plea sure and an exhibition of patriotism.

The best evidence in the world of the prosperity of any section of the country is where the railroads are doing a good business; where traffic is light employees are discharged or laid off and the time of those retained is cut down, and a general curtailing of expenses inaug- urated-all indicative of financial de- pression and dull times. When business is good with the railroads, more men are employed, many of them work extra time new rolling stock is put on, new rails and ties laid, road bed, put in better condition, and capacity for handling traffic materially increased.
 Now as to our own city of Yuma, the country tributary to it-and the South ern Pacific Railroad Company. Busi- ness is good in Yuma and trade is increasing, and the whole surrounding country is prosperous. The s. P. Com pony shares in this prosperity and their traffic has increased to such an extent that they are compelled to greatly en-

large their facilities for handling the business at this point. Following are some of the improvements they are going to make-in fact have already begun:
 The capacity of the yards will be more than quarupled, in doing which the company will expend over S50.000.
 The cabOOse sheds will be moved east nearer the lumber yard, and large addition will be built.
 Freight house will be moved further north, and materially enlarged.
 Several additional side tracks will be put in.
 A double track will be laid on Mad isOn Avenue to point little north of First street. This work will be first class in every particular. The heaviest steel rails, and the best ties to be pro- cured will be used: the street will be paved in tirst-class manner with Gila City gravel, and the track laid flush WlUn the SufIdce. so as to IufQlSn no obstruction to vehicles in the slightest degree. The company, will also furnish all of the gravel necessary to the city free of cost for the purpose of grading First street west from the railroad over the hill.
 A number of other important i'm provements will be made in the east end of the yard, but just what they will be has not yet been decided.
 Mr. R. J. Duncan, trainmaster. whose headquarters is in Tucson, and Mr. c. K. Clark, rOadmaster, with head quarters at Gila Bend, have been in Yuma recently conferringwith property owners regarding right of way and other previleges, and everything was satisfactorily arranged, so that the work will proceed to finish without any delay.

MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY,
A Great CeIebratiOn--PubIish PrO-
 gram Practically Carried Out.

The ninetieth anniversary of the in dependence of the republic of Mexico greater pOmp and grandeur than ever before. The Mexican-Americans o1 Yuma had been preparing for this oc casiOn for long time. The anniver sary comes on the 16th of September but preparations were made for a three days celebratiOn-the 10th, 16th and 17th.
 La Junta PatriOtica MeXicana had charge of the rendering of the program which they carried through with honor to themselves, for they made a perfect success of the whole affair and too much credit cannot be given those who had charge of the ce lebratiOn for their tire less efforts for the pleasure and enjoy ment of everyone.
 The first days program was rather short. The forenoon was spent in church services: also in the evening La Junta Patriotica Mexicana marched to the church, where Father Durand delivered a patriotic address. Dick ROnstead's juvenile band from Gila Bend rendered few selections in the church during the progress of the eve ming services. At 7p. m. all marched from the church to the school house, where the evenings program was con- -cluded.
 The school house plaza and the front of the school building were beautifully decorated. At the main entrance to the plaza was an arch entwined with the Mexican National cOlors, with ''Old Glory floating directly over it. The arch was also dotted here and there with electric lights, producing beautiful effect.
 Passing through the arch brought one directly in front of the school house, but the front of the building had undergone such a transformation that the oldest residents could scarcely rec ogniZe it. and a stranger would hardly suspect but that it was an edifice built and decorated for the occasion. Elec- tric lights were everywhere and all ar tistically arranged. The front veranda was transformed into as neat and bright stage as any artistic fancy could have conceived. The background was draped with two large fags-one the Stars and Stripes with a picture of George Washington in the center. the other that of the Mexican republic, with Miguel HidaIgo y Castilla's por- trait in the center of it. Everything was tastefully and harmoniously ar ranged, and the effect was pleasing to the eye.
 At o'clock the exercises of the even- ing was begun. The first was music by the band.
 J. L. Redondo, master of ceremonies introduced the speakers of the evening.
 First was the reading of the Declara- tion of Independence by Eduardo Arios MeSsrs. Y. L. Molina and Luis Ramirez were the speakers. Both young men proved themselves to be able and patriotic orators and were applauded very heartily.
 The second day, Sunday, the 10th, was the star day. The forenoon was devot- ed tO church services
 At five p. m. the procession formed in front of the school house, and paraded the full length of Main street and returned. The order of parade was as follows:

In getting men off their trains. In the
case of Underhill his friends, severa'
