The AlgodoneS Grant
 Opened for Entry at Last

Monday, March IS, was live ly day in Yuma and fraught with much interest to the people of the valley. The hotels and res taurants had been doing extra ordinary business for several days, but on Monday there was a rush. The long-looked for day had come at last, and the town was full of men who had come in to execute their filing papers for the entry of land in what has been known as the Algodones grant lands. The history of this tract has been printed many times and it is unnecessary to repeat it at this time; it is suffi- cient to say that tits exceedingly fertile land, immediately adia- cent to Yuma in the Colorado valley.
 Just how many filings were made from Yuma is not known as no record was kept here of the number of entries made, but it is estimated at 150 on Monday. Most of the entry fees were ap- parently transmitted in the shape of money orders, and Post master Chandler had to put in an extra clerk-Geo. A. Duke to help handle the additional business. One hundred and nineteen money orders were is sued on Monday, payable to Uncle Sam and forwarded to the Tucson land office. Apparently most of the claims are being en- tered under the homestead law; although there are some desert land entries.
 Quite a number of people went to Tucson to file in person, among whom were:
 Wm. O. Harris-who, accord ing to the Citizen, was the first  one to file; E. B. Balch, Paul Davidson, Wm. A. Mcdonald, %AliceB. Blaisdell, s. Mustain, R. J. Mustain, Cassius M. Smith, $. D. Cunningham, John Metz, Wm. c. Prewitt, James l.. Clark, Edward l.. Hartley, Thomas Adams, Frank M. King, Grant J. Ridenour, Herman H. Robin son, Wm. J. Stevens, Duncan l.. De Vane, John Gandolfo.
 The e indicates the only des- ert land entries; and each of the above filed on 160 acres except Hartley, who filedon 80 acres,
 According to the land office there are about 35,O0O acres in the tract and about one hundred settlers who will supposedly come under the provisions of the Wilson bill, and are given ninety days in which to make their entries. Some of these, probably, have not yet filed, but it is presumed the most of them have. There are contests al- ready on hand and rumors of many more; these matters, how ever, will be disposed of by the Interior department and, we doubt not, settled as they should be-in favor of the bona fide set

They were not answered. Last

proclamation issued by the governor
OF Missouri, prayers were again
offered throughout the state that
the drouth might he broken. The
only thing broken that day was
the heat record. The improperly
of praying for material things has
been pointed out. If such prayers
could avail anything, thousands
would not die annually in India OF

there would be none of the things
