THE COLORADO RIVER.

The Colorado river drains the entire territory of Arizona, and every drop of water which falls on it's mountains and plains finds its way to this mighty river. It is formed by the union of the Green and Grand rivers, fed by the streams which rise in the Rocky Mountains, and the melt ing snOwS cause greater depth of water in this river in summer than in winter, thus furnishing the most water at the season when it is most required for the purposes of irrigation and agri culture.
 It will be seen that for the entire distance along it's western boundary, Yuma county posses ses the great advantage of cheap water transportation.
 The Gila river rises in the western part of New Mexico and is fed by numerous streams, among the most prominent of which are the San Pedro, Agua Fria, Hassayampa and Saltriver. It flows west through Yuma county and empties into the Colo rado at the town of Yuma.
 Yuma county, traversed by these great rivers from it's north ern to it's southern, and from it's eastern to it's western boundaries, possesses a far greater water supply than any other county in the Territory, and far more than can be found in all California.
 This water is now being divert ed from it's natural channels by means of numerous large irriga- ting canals, and utilized for the purpose of retaining and irri- gating the immense tracts of lands which lie in this favored county, and which are as fertile as any in the world.
 The Southern Pacific railroad crosses the Colorado river at the town of Yuma and runs through the county, following the gene ral course, and at an average distance of about four miles south, of the Gila river, render ing all the lands susceptible of irrigation and cultivation along the river accessible to railroad facilities. The products of the vast tracts of land along this river, which are now being pre-

Governor Murphy has returned to Phoenix from Washington, and one of the fruits of the gov ernor's eastern visit, says the Arizona Republican, was the fix ing of the status of the Algodo- neS grant in favor of the settlers. The bill had been hung up in the senate, but soon after Governor Murphy's arrival was passed. The governor was told by Com missioner Herman that instruc- tions would be issued to tha re- ceiver and register of the land office to receive entries, but he does not know whether or not the instructions have been issued vet.

 timber. In the Mogollon noun
 tains in Yavapai, Coconino and Gila counties there are large
 bodies of oak timber, suitable for the manufacture of farm ma chinery, wagons, etc., and for finishing lumber, but at present it is too inaccessible to be of great commercial value. The government has created some large forest reserves in northern Arizona and promulgated rules for their regulation with the view to preserve from spoliation and prevent destruction by fire. The principal lumber mills of Arizona are situated at Flagstaff and Williams, in COcOninO cOun- ty. on the line of the Santa Fe Pacific Railway, and their equip ment is modern in every way.

NOT DESERTLANDS.

Lands bordering upon streams, lakes or other natural bodies of water, or through or upon which there is any river, stream, ar royo, lake, pond, body of water or living spring, are not subject to entry under the desert land law until the dearest proof of their desert character is fur nished. Lands which produce native grasses sufficient in quan- tity, if unfed by grazing animals, to make an ordinary crop of hay in usual seasons are not desert lands.
 Lands which will produce an agricultural crop of any kind in amount to make cultivation req sonably remunerative are not desert lands,
 Lands containing sufficient moisture for producing natu- ral growth of trees are not to be classed as desert lands.
 A man and his wife can each take up 32O acres under the des- ert land law. Each member of the family over twenty one years of age can also take up 320 acres under the law.

KAISER WILHELM IN ENAMEL

From the St. James's Gazette.
Mr.. Herbert Herkomer's portrait in
enamel of the Kaiser is being much
discussed in artistic quarters. Very
few lave been privileged to view this
work. which is spoken of as being a
most marvellous likeness. 1t is a worl.
so far. without parallel, and may be
said to he absolutely imperishable.

HOW ABOUT CLOUDCROFT?
The Sentiment of the People Is Dead
Against S%poliation. and They Want
to Know.

In view of the conflict of opinion
and even of statements of fact among
those who are supposed to know the
true situation at Cloudcroft. the prop
erty holders in this city are guessing.
They are. to a man. opposed to any
dissertation of the popular resort. and
they are ready to take action of some
sort to compel a recognition of what
they assume to be their rights, unless
the can give them some very
definite assurance that the boundaries
of Cloudcroft reservation will not be
changed.
Even the denial of the rumOrs, as
published in the papers yesterday and
today. are not looked upon by many
of the property owners as being ex-
plicit enough. What they want to
know is. are the boundaries of the res
ervation at Cloudcroft to remain in
all respects the same as those marked
out on the map of Cloudcroft, from
which map all property holders
bought? And further, is the timber
on the reservation as marked on the
said map. to be left as it is, without
any thinning out?
The questions are on many lips. Per-
haps it would be well for the people
at Alamogordo to answer them cate
g%orically.

New York-John j. Clark. one of the

OF nearly 5000. 900. and without a cent
of assets He is now working for SIS a
week as a o. in a downtown lunch
house. His fall from a%ffluence to pow

ulations and a desire to control the
money of the world. At n time his
fortune was estimated at a million dol
lars. His restaurants were well known
to out-of-town people. especially the
one at Sixth emu and Thirtieth
street. in the heart of the "tenderloin"
and in the close vicinity of the uptown

INTERESTING PAPERS READ
BEFORE THE WOMAN'S CLUB.
The Various Departments are Active,
and Next Week there Will Be an
Interesting Exhibit.

Two very interesting articles were
heard at the department of Economics
of the Woman's club Wednesday.
The paper on Homes of Authors
by Mrs. Dascomb. gave glimpses of the
home-life of many a writer, beloved by
us all. From Haworth. where she
bowed a bit of the narrow living and
u~ncongenial surroundings of the gifted
ont sisters. she took us back to our
national capital by a roundabout jour
ney, II gave us the atmosphere of the
house of a writer and stateman. In
Charles Summers house, with all it's
luxury. there was no cheerful heart of
home. no woman'S smile was there to
gladden. it. The quality of home-mak-
ing she showed to be in ourselves, SO
that even a Carlyle doeS not succeed
better than some obscure American III
making a beautiful home-life.
Mrs. Leigh Clark gave an interesting
talk, largely about Nine. De Stael,
showing herself perfectly familiar with
the life of this famous woman. She
showed what her fine mind, with care
full parental training became. and with
what influence she filled the world. We
were reminded that even. a Napoleon
feared her witty tongue and smiling
compcsure. That the mind places one
above environment was shown by a
glance at Milton. Byron, and Shake
Mrs. Cooper reported that the Kera-
mic department is to give an exhi-
bition and sale of lockwood pottery
and Copley prints on three days of text
week. beginning Tuesday. There will
be a collection of old china and
other antiques on view. The place was
quite settled. but it will probably be

A MAN OUTwITS THE
QUARANTINE OFFICERS.
He Is Set Off the Train. But Gets q
Rig. Comes Into Town. and Goes tc
Mexico.

A man came in over the Santa Fe
Monday night with a ticket from Oak
land to FL Paso. He was taken off the
train by the quarantine officers on
Monday because he could not make a
satisfactory declaration.
He was put in a box car and held
there all night without accommoda-
tons or provisions of any kind. His
meals were sent to him from Ell Paso
and he had to pay for them. The pow
ers that be in quarantine hen decided
to turn him back and not to allow
him to enter the state. He was ac-
cordingly given transportation as far
as the state line and from that point
on was left to take care of himself.
AS far as the officers were concerned
he could drop Off in the sand and foot
it back to the coast or go anywhere
else except through Texas.
AS a matter of fact he caught the
train and went to Towne. There he
procured a rig and drove to Ell Paso
and then over to JuareZ. whence he
took the train to the City of Mexico
his destination.

San Antonio. April 10. 1850.
Sir:@1 have the honor to transmit

head of h first to the foot of the last
portion. and eleven miles from the last
point TO the mouth of the river.
The pen of clearing this part of
