Almost a Kansas "Zephyr."

The wind storm which prevailed Sunday afternoon and night and part of Monday was the worst experienced here in years. While there were no very serious results, the wind played havoc with loose signs and awnings and twisted off many limbs from the trees. It also filled the air with dust and made life burden for several hours. The big, rugged mesquite tree in front of the Sentinel's home which has cast grateful shade and furnished hitching place for teams during the past forty years, was despoiled of one Of its larg= est branches and badly disfgured. The Salvation Army tent on Main street was almost torn into shreds by the fierce breeze, and this is most unfortu- nate, the tent having recently been shipped here from Los Angeles at con- siderable expense, and its Cestructlon leaves the Army in Yuma without home. A striking and unwelcOme fea- ture of the storm was the great drop ln the temperature. Saturday men were wearing straw hats and other fragile habiliments. and the thermometer re- corded nearly hundred in the shade; the two following days the same indi- viduals could be seen with ovefcOats on and 'looking for warm fire" For this climate the storm was phenOme- non: the ''oldest inhabitant" says it is one of the preliminaries toward an ex- change of climates with Kansas.

Supervisor Meeden.

Supervisor C. V. Meeden seems to ''have it in" for newspapers in general and the SENTINEL in particular, and takes every opportunity to give us the worst of it. The SENTINEL has always spoken kindly of Mir. Meeden and we cannot understand why he shows so much animosity, except it be that he owes this office q bill which has been running for the past fifteen years. The gentleman would be little more con- sistent if, before he tries to do the paper an injury, he would walk up and settle his little bill, which is becoming aged and time-worn for want of his at tentiOn.

The First Miners.

The earliest miners and metal work CTS of whom we have record were the Aryan peoples of Eufo-Asian origin who; though of pastoral and arboreai habits, were familiar with the metals, and worked with them-at least with the metals gold, silver and bronze Chaldeans and Assyrians. as we now know from the cuneiform inscriptions which go back 5000 B. C., were un- doubtedly expert in the use Of metals, while the Egyptians had an intimate knowledge of the arts and sciences. In the brick and other inscriptions recent fv discovered artisans are seen at work with curious details. of their methods and tools. Potters, indeed, had at- tained eminence in their art, and the Egyptians had certainly knowledge of chemistry, as the samples of their glass-blowing and the stone pictures ot tools, forceps, blowpipesE etc: proved. Gold was largely used at an early peri od-hetween 1000 and 5o00,B. C., as we
 find from some newly discovered and ingenious weighing balances. s.-EcStor Mining Bureau.

IMPURE BAKING POWDER SEIZED
The New York Board of Health Find It Contains Alum and Rock, De- clare it Dangerous to Health;
 and Dump 1t Into the River

The New York papers report that the Health department of that city seized as dangerous to health nearly two tons of cheap mixtures sold for baking powder, and dumped them into the offal scow to be destroyed. More of the powder was found in Sixth ave: department store. The report of the analysis of the Health department stat ed that it was ''an alum baking powder" containing alum and pulverized rock.
 The different health authorities seem to have different ways of repress- ing the sale of bad baking powders. In England they have prosecuted the gro- cers under the general law and broken up the traffic. In Missouri the sale Of alum baking powder is actually prohib- ited by law. In New York they seize the unwhOlesOme stuff and cast it into the river without any discussion. The latter way is certainly effective.
 The alum baking powders are usually offered at a low price, ten to twenty cents pound, or with some prize as temptation to the housewife.
 Consumers can protect themselves by buying only high-grade baking powder of established name and reputation. Do not be tempted by the grocer to take something else as just as good" or tour own brand" for the trials show that the grocer himself is often de- ceived by interruptions makers and IS selling an alum powder without know ing it.
 There are several good powders on the market: let the hou:ekeeper insist on having what she knows is right and not be induced to risk the life of the family for an imaginary saving of few fc

Very truly yours,
 C. P. CROWN,
Clerk Board of Supervisors.


 This is the first time since the organ ization of the county that the board of supervisors has absolutely refused to have its proceedings published This in the face of the law governing such matters, which reads as follows:
 Paragraph 378O, Section l, Revised Statutes, says: ''The minutes of the boards of supervisors of the various counties of the territory shall be pub lished in some newspaper published in the county where said boards are To- cated."
 Paragraph 37S5, Section 6: 'Any officer or board of officers who shall re- fuse or fail to make the publication, as in this act provided and required, shall be guilty of a misdemeanOr.' The pen alty for such violation of the statute is the same as for other misdemeanors where penalty is not specially pre- scribed, namely: Imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding six months or by a fine not exceeding $500, or by both such fine and Imprisonment"
 Are the members of the board invit- ing penalty of this kind by their :'coarse" work? Are they greater than the law?

Yuma as Separate Port of Entry.

Capt. A. B. Smith is making an en- ergetic effort to have Yuma created a separate port of entry, and writes the Sentinel that he is meeting with much encouragement. He has received the following letters bearing upon the sub feet which at least show willing spir- it on the part of the writers to do what they can to accomplish the desired end:
 Washington, D. C., March 29.-Capt. AlphonsO B. Smith, Yuma, Arizona. My Dear Captain: I am gratified at the enterprise which your letter ex- hibits and I am surprised to know that you have already done so much toward encouraging large water traffic from our sister republic. It will be some what difficult to have Yuma made a separate port of entry unless we can show very large increase in the GUS toms duties paid at this point. Give me the facts in the matter: It was only few years ago that Arizona was made d separate customs district by my efforts in congress. Nogales had a mere sub-port to Fl Paso. will look into the matter and let you know com cerniug the Health office: don't know whether that will be difficult to do or not; until 1 enquire into it.

NEED NOT7KIss THE BIBLE.
For This Reason, II Is said, Perjury
Has Been Greatly on the In
crease in New Jersey.

The repeal Of the law requiring wit
nesses to kiss the Bible has been fol-
lowed in New Jersey by a marked in
crease in perjury and a movement, it
is said, may be started to restore the
custom, reports the Baltimore Sun.
Prosecutor William J. Crossley, Of
Mercer county, in which Trenton is
situated, Sc quoted as saying that
"Eince the solemn practice of kissing
the Bible has been eliminated from the
oath witnesses in criminal trials reck-
lessly prevaricate." This Is due, he
says, TO the fact that "the witnesses in
criminal trials usually are from a class
that is not given to truth-telling ex-
cept when in fear Of eternal damna-
ton Of the soul or In dread of 80
days in Jail for being caught lying.
Many Of this class of witnesses we're
awed by the old form Of oath, which
included the kissing of the Bible"
Mr.. Crossley does not hesitate to at
tribute the failure Of justice in two
important criminal cases to the fact
that the moral influence OF the Bible
upon witnesses was lacking. The Grim
inologist adds Mr.. Crossley, who APP
peared before the legislature. said
that when criminal intended commit
ting perjury she usually avoided kiss
ing the Bible BY declaring he had con
scientious scruples.' He would then
raise his right hand and affirm to tell
the truth, the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth n the issue Joined
between the state Of New Jersey vs..
Peter Jones. defendant The witness
knew he was committing statutory
perjury, Of course, for which he could,
and probably would, be punished II.
caught. But the criminal argued that
be was not 'goin' again" tn Bible.
though 20 he willingly aided his pal
with any sort Of story and took the
chances Of being tripped up by the
state"
Thus e would appear that while thiz
reform may have contributed 70 phys
ical hygiene it has not, in New Jersey
ct least If Prof. crossley isn't preyari-
eating himself, contributed to moral
health.
