 Ex-Mayor R. J. Duncan arrived in Yuma from Los Angeles on last night s train and will remain here a few days before returning to Tucson.
 Sam Rudolph, while cutting wood on his place in West Yuma the other day, had the misfortune to cut his foot, making a bad wound.
 Probate Judge Frank has received from the territorial school fund as the appOrtiOnment for Yuma county schools, the sum Of $467.5O-the appcrtiCnment being based on $50 children of school age, the per capita being D cents.
The Arizona sentinel., 1901-02-13

Let us pause, think, and be thankful that our lines are cast in this land of warm, smiling sunshine and balmy breezes. Last Monday, in Yuma, was de- lightfullypleasant, the sun shone warm and cheerful; the flowers sent forth fragrant smiles from hooks and corners and unshel- tered places, while the soft south breezes played gently among the new born foliage of trees; while nature was thus smiling and buoyant with young life here, a fearful blizzard was raging in the prairie states in the west. In Minnesota, and many other states the trains were blocked and travel and traffic throughout the country paralyzed.
The Arizona sentinel., 1901-02-13

Land hunters are beginning to put m an appearance upon our streets daily, and in this county, so far as heard from, all who take a look at the rich lands of the Colorado and Gila valleys are so highly pleased that they locate at once. Many express astoniShment that such rich lands should have remained so long. But the ice is broken, so to speak, and in a very short time the very cream of the coun- try will have been taken. ThOus- ands of men, with families, are in Southern California today liv- ing from hand to mouth, with no hope of ever owning a foot of land there. They might have secured 160 acres from the gov ernment, of as fine soil as the sun shines upon, for less than one acre would cost down there.
The Arizona sentinel., 1901-02-13

cut a chance to work and made worse instead of better under existing cOn- ditions.
 The code, as it is gradually being made known, as it came from the hands Of the commission, is full of loose wCrk-withOut doubt the incom- petent and careless work of the clerk of the commission. A fragrant instance of this was uncovered yesterday by the chairman of the committee on judiciary who, in explaining the difficulties that committee is laboring under, pointed cut a section in the part treating of the Grimes against suffrage" which makes the evidence that candidate has treated" citizen evidence that the candidate has stolen the ballot box. Of course the commission is to some extent responsible for that kind of thing, for such absurditieS are very positive evidence that no member Of the code commission ever read the work over that the clerk of the commission had been ordered to do. If the com mission would square itself with the people of the territory it should refuse to receive the two thousand dollars each member is supposed to have earn ed, but which evidently was never earned to his actual traVelinU eXDpnS- es. This work of the commission is practically dead less, as it is. to the territory.

 My Dear GOvernor-I am pleased to inform you that the Honorable secretary has apprOv- ed of the regulations prepared by this office and addressed to the Register and Receiver at Tucson, Arizona, in reference to the lands included in the Ago dOpes grant in Arizona, the act of Congress having been ap- proved January 14th, 1901. As to the nature of these in structiOnS perhaps it may be safer to refer to the instructions themselves, which will be found on file in the office of the Regis ter and Receiver at Tucson in a few days, as they will be mailed from here during the course of this day.
 Sincerely yours,
