No line of commercial enterprise re- quires ampIer capital, greater executive ability or keener business ability than to successfully conduct a lumber bus mess. The pioneer establishment of this county is the Yuma Lumber Com pany. This company was started by +. l.. Ewing seven years ago, although previously he was in other lines of com mercial enterprise here for a total of fift5en yearss
 The premises occupied are especially adapted to the uses designated. The stock is. s.complete and consists of lum- ber, sash, doors, blinds. cement lime, plaster. hair, building hardware. wrought iron pipe and fittings, wire and cut nails, smooth wire, rabbit-prOcf fencing wire.

49FR SALOON.

One of the prominent saloons in Yuma is the one whose name forms a heading to this sketch. The business came under it's present management last fall when i. was purchased from MT. Stewart by c. C. Stowe. NIT. Stowe had been connected with the business since the previous June.
 MT. Stewart who started the business four yeas ago had been resident Of the county for thirty or forty years. He was one of the California pioneers of 1S49.
 Mr. Stowe has been a resident of Arizona for fourteen years. For seven years he was connected with the fruit farm of the Yuma water and light com pany. Afterward he was engaged in farming on his own account and in building ditches by contract. He has probably done as much as any other single individual toward the upbuild- ing of this commonwealth.
 Last fall he purchased his present business. The premises occupied consist of a main room 19X60 feet in dimensions and three smaller rooms used for wine card and storage rooms. The stock is the best that can be bought, no persons goods being given preference, unless 1 they should possess exceptional merit The stock consists of everything likely
 to be called for in the line of drinks | No effort is made to disparage or out
 shine competitors, but an effort is mad, | to give patrons gentlemanly treatmen

HOTEL GANDOLFO.

If there is any one thing that the cit izens of any city, village, town or ham let will point to with a greater degree of pride than another it is a first-class hotel-a modern building conducted in a. first-class up-to-date manner. In Yuma when the subject is broached the native resident will point. to the Hotel Gandolfo and say with commend able pride, Yes, it is a first-class hotel and one that would be a credit to any town.
 The Hotel Gandolfo is modern brick building completed in 1899. It is two stories in height and covers a ground area of 100X196 feet. The ground floor is used for hotel office, sample rooms for commercial men, store rooms, etc. The upper floor is occupied by the par lar, sleeping apartments, bath rooms wide halls, etc. The rooms are en suite and single. The floors are vanished and painted. having the effects of hard wood finish, and are partially covered with Oriental rugs. The beds are of white enamel and brass and are recog- nized as the most desirable from hygienic and sanitary standpoint. The furniture is of ash and quartered and antique oak. Each room contains a spacious clothes closet. The windows are of unusual size and width and with the lofty ceilings admit of thorough circulation of air and perfI ct ventila- ton. Each window opens upon pri- vate balcony reached only from the in dividual room.
 The house is illuminated with electric lights. Each room is arranged so that il can be warmed with an. ordinary air tight heating stove.
 The hotel is conducted on the Euro pean plan. There is a restaurant in the building
 The hotel is now receiving excellent support, the business men individually and collectively recommend it to all their friends and acquaintances.
 The hotel is conducted by MT. c. D. Baker who for a number of years was proprietor of several of the leading ho- tels on the Pacific coast. While he has conducted a number of much larger hotels yet he admits that the Gandolfo although smaller, is the best arranged and has finer furnished and better rooms than any of the modern first class hotels in the cities on the coast.
 The house has only been under it's present management for few months vet that time has been sufficiently long to demonstrate to every guest that he could net have found in Arizona bet ter managed hostelry or more agree able stopping place. As day follows day it will witness new satisfied guests of the house and new personal friends for the proprietor.

JOHN GANDOLFO.

If a popular contest were to be in augurated in this county for the pur- pose of ascertaining the name of the | most enterprising and energetic busi- | ness man in Yuma and the one who | shall have done more for the improve | ment of Yuma than all the other resi- dents combined. it is conceded there | would be but one candidate and that candidate would receive the unanimous vote That such a person would be credit to any community is question that cannot be gainsaid, hence Yuma may be forgiven for showing pleasure in the fact that she is the home Of John Gandolfo. MT. Gandolfo was born in Genoa, Italy. in 1S46. He received a common school education and worked upon farm until 1866, when he came to Amer ica. He stayed in Chicago for seven or eight months and was employed around grain elevators and warehouses. Then he went to Memphis, Tennessee where he was engaged in various manual oc- cupations. He had to leave MemphlS on account of sickness and went to oI' T.ouis Missouri. where he worked on 
 steamboat until 1868, when, during the erold excitement, he went to Montana via the river to Ft. Benton. This state he was also compelled to leave owing to i'll health and he returned to St. T.oris and went from there to Chicago where he worked fO1 six or elght months.

 The Gandolfo hotel described else where, in one of the attractions of Yuma. Mir. Young has had twenty years experience as an architect. Pre- viously he was a carpenter and con- tractor so he thoroughly understands the practical as well as the theoretical features.

REDUCED IN NUMBER.
Mr.. w. c. Aliens Report on Complaint
ResuectinK Telephone POlea.

Respecting Telephone Poles.
Relative to the recent complaint made to
the District Commissioners by MIR. Arthur
H. OCOnnor, attorney for Mr.. Joseph
Schladt of the replacement of a pole by
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company in front of premises 1926 I'D
street, the District electrical engineer, Mr..
w. c. Allen. explains that instead Of ad-
a reduction in the number of poles by the
construction complained of.
The number Of poles reduced, says Mr..
Allen, is three, and he points out that the
numerous individual wires going in two or
three directions from their former ca BILE
pole In the alley Of square 1908 have been
a portion of them having been included in
cable.
1.-The particular pole complained Of"
states MIR. Allen, that on the west side of
32d street between Prospect and n streets
was moved from NJ street just west of 32d.
This pole is intended to carry only the nee
essary guy wires to support the pole ON the
opposite side of the street. l am Of the
opinion that the maintenance Of this par
tlcular pole is not a violation Of the
statutes as the pole already existed and
was merely moved from one location to
overhead lines in that immediate neighbor-
hood. Instead Of erecting additional po.es,
which is the prohibition quoted by the
complainant, there has been reduction in
the number of poles by this construction,
and the lines have been placed in a better
spectfuly recommend that the writer be
informed in accordance herewith.
This recommendation of the electrical en-
gneer the Commissioners have approved.

DOWN IN GOLD VIRGINIA,
Republicans Expecting to JubiIat,
Over Results in Other States.


Over Results in Other States.
Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
DAYSVILLE, Loudoun County, Va,
November 6, 1900.
While there are not many republicans in
this part Of "ole Virginny," they that do
work and vote for the candidates Of the
party are enthusiastic over the probable re-
suits from other states. The election law
in Virginia is a farce upon honest methods
and should be relegated to the rear. 1t is
out of date except in the south. where the
election machinery is in the hands of the
party in power.
There has been but little campaigning in
this section. more at Herndon than at
other places, where the postmaster who is
to be appointed under Bryan has already
been selected.
Most of the farmers are busily engaged
in gathering corn, and I doubt not that
many of them will fail to go to town to
help Bryan along. The winter wheat as a
rule looks well, and a prospect of a large
crop next year could not be more promising
1t Is reported that bass fishing has been
the finest for years not far from here in the
Potomac. Since the middle Of September
sportsmen have been coming and going to
Leesburg, Ashburn and Sterling, route
to the islands that abound in the Potomac
between Edwards Ferry and Seneca, and
some phenomenal catches have been made
| by Messrs Curtis. Tappan, Irwin. ex-Rep-
resentative Coffin, Porter, Weary, Marshall.
Whitaker Lewis. Tyssowski, Burroughs and
Fowler Of your city. 1t is said that Messrs.
| Porter and Whitaker, in the neighborhood
| of Van Devener's Island. caught in one
| week l4S bass in October. and that Mr..
Marshall caught probably the largest-four
| and one-half pounds-which he presented to
| the deputy commissioner OF pensions, Mr..
| Davenport.
| Through the efforts of Mr.. Henry Palmer,
| the fish commission has recently put in a
| light supply of small-mouth black bass at
