JUGGLING WITH YACHTS.
Experts Think Shamrock Ill should
Have Won Yesterday.


RYDE. Isle of Wight. May 21.-The trial
of the Shamrock III and the Shamrock to-
day was in many respects the most puz-
zling that has yet taken place. Instead of
throwing additional light upon the abilities
OF the challenger, to-day's race makes 1t
more difficult than ever 10 estimate her

Silkitker they had an interesting struggle

at the helm. Officially racing has not COM
menced, but the shippers were apparently
having a trial between themselves and
snatching every advantage. Shamrock III
was a good half-miie to the leeward when
they started. but in the five miles between
the anchorage and the Silkitker she closed
up the whole of this big gap. After threat

III had to be thrown in the wind and held
all aback while Captain Wringe sailed
Shamrock l boldly across his bows in the
wrong tack.
The keenness OF the contest was shown
by the fact that Captain Wringe tried this
blum, for had Captain Sycamore held on
there would probably have been a disas-
trous collision. For the first five miles of
the official course the new yacht did equal

The explanation given by those on board is
that the bObstay weakened and spilled the

an imperceptible difference in the trim of
her sails made so much difference in her
sailing. However, il was the old boat

ALIENS FIRST REPORT
GOVERNOR OF PORTO RICO SPEAKS
WELL OF THE ISLAND.
Its Resources VIII Be Fully Devel-
Oped When Anglo-SaXon Push
and Energy Are introduced.

WASHINGTON. May 21.-Gov. Charles II.
Allen. of Porto Rico. has presented to the
President, through the State Department.
his first annual report. The Governor ex-
presses the opinion that a scheme of CO.
lonial administration such as is found in
the Danish. French and English West In
dies might be safely instituted with varia-
tions, dependent upon the future policy Of
the home government. The Governor re-
fers TO the many suggestions offered that
the form OF territorial government adopted
in the United States be applied TO Porto
Rico, but points out that a standard form
of such government. while useful IL the
United States, would not apply successfully
TO this island possession. He calls atten-
ton to the fact that, while in such close
proximity to the United States. Porto Rico
has been a comparatively unknown island
TO Americans.
Il feel as the result of a years close
study the spot of all conditions sur
rounding this problem said Governor AL
len. that Congress went quite as far as
1t could safely venture in the form of gov
eminent already existing on the island, and
as the result of such experience and obser-
walton L fully believe, with good men de-
voted 10 the work, the island will develop
faster under such form. and its people.
through experience and education, will ad-
vance more rapidly in their knowledge of
civic virtues under a guidance of present
methods than could be gained in any other
way"
The Governor speaks plainly in presenting
the reason why this island has been at a
practical standstill for nearly four CEN
turtles. and says that in a climate where
a man can lie in a hammock. pick a ba-
mana with one hand and dig sweet po-
incentive
is easy to yield TO and brings its inevitable
consequences In conclusion Governor AL
len urges the Introduction of fresh blood
and Anglo-SaxOn push and energy as the
means of lifting the little Island out of its
lethargy, and, by thrift and energy, de-
velop its riches TO their fullest measure.

THE VALLEYS CF THE COLORADO.

Several miles above Yuma, in the neighbor- hood of Explorers Pass, near the Purple Hills, the great Colorado River Valley proper com mences. From this point northerly the river IS shut in by cliffs which, with intervening noun tain systems, absolutely preclude the possibility of canal construction. Passing southwark, the cliffs are seen to gradually disappear until they become merged in the low bottom lands The bottom meanwhile widenS with every mile until the Gulf of California is reached. There are large quantities of land which could be made productive were irrigation practicable. These are general fertile bottoms inclining toward the river and covered in spots with dense under growth and cottonwood and mesquite trees. Considerable of the valley is raised above the river as much as 100 feet, and to this height water must be brought, as the bottoms are dur Ing certain months completely oVertowed by the waters of the swollen streams. The soil is extraordinarily rich and particularly adapted to the cultivation of sugar, rice and all the tex tile plants in addition to an extended list Of tropical Semitropical, and temperate products. According to d careful chemical analysis the fertiliZing mud carried by the Colorado closely resembles that of the waters of the Nile, while its volume at low water has been estimated by competent authority as sufficient to easily irri gate more than ,750,000 acreS.'
 The lands of the lower Colorado River Valley have not baen developed very extensively, owing to the litigation over what is known as the AgodoneS land grant, which has been Tn the courts for the last decade. The VeXed question has lately been settled by the U. $. Supreme Court in favor of the government.

THE CHA VALLEY.

The Gila valley extends from the Glla canyon near the junction of the San Pedro river, west erly to the east bank of the Colorado distance of slightly exceeding 25O miles. That portion of it situated in the county of Yuma, known as the Lower Gila valley, is about 100 miles long and from to 10 miles wide, all of which is suscept ible of profitable cultivation. The river from which it takes its name cuts the valley in two. Its watershed extends some 30 miles north and upward of 50 miles south or it's channel the land from either extreme incllnlng more or less rapidly toward the stream. The Gila traverSeS a marvelously fertile country, very great in extent, and splendidly adapted to the cultivation of nearly all the products of the temperate and semi i-tropic zones besides many Of the fruits common in the tropics. Nor Is this longer a matter of idle speculation, for flouriShing ranches in various portions of the valley drawing water from several important canals amply demonstrate the magnificent results that will cnsue should the water supply be rendered permanent cquable and adequate through appropriate storage systems.
 This consists of a broad expanse of tillable valley land, sometimes overfiowed by the river, which is at times mighty uncertain and steep range of volcanic hills coming close to the high ways, for dozen miles or so, hot. heavy, sandy. It is hardly fair to say sandy as it is really a friable alluvial soil of grayish hue and loose texture. Several ranches are passed, showing that the Gila bottom is cultivated With irri- eation every square mile of the Gila valley is capable of producing prolific crops of grain and semi-tropical fruits, as well as cotton and sugar in great abundance The river k able to fur
