Letter From Rome.

MT. and Mrs. Louis Carrigan, who are well and pleasurably remembered in Yuma, are now in Rome. Mrs. Car rigan has written Mrs. Herbert Brown of their European wanderings. They went abroad in the interest of MT. Car rigan'S health, which, when they were here, was not of the best. They now have been absent two years and have visited many of the most interesting cities and scenes to be found in the Old World. At the date of writing-April 3-they were doing the Eternal City. She says, in part:
 ''St. Peter's cathedral is too tremen- dous, too grand, to descrihe in words, although the hideOus bronze St. Peter, whose great toe has been so worn away by kisses of the devOut and faithful that. to protect it, the foot is now en- cased in d steel shoe, polished bright by kisses, seems to me to be the only thing to mar perfectly gigantic whole. We have heard mass in the Crypt-an almost unknown privileges; have seen the treasures of the Sacristy with it's gorgeous vestments; the Vsti- can museums; the statues; the frescoes by Raphael: the Sistine chapel, the cr0wning work of Michael Angelo; have gathered flowers in the POpe's private garden, but as yet have not seen the Pope. The portrait of Beatrice Cenci and the frescoes of Guido Reni's Aurora are, as yet. my favorite pie lures. We visited the church of GlO- vanni Laterauo-the cathedral of the people. We saw the table upon which Christ and His disciples ate the Last Supper, and the slab from Jerusalem on which the Roman soldiers are said to have cast lots for Christ's raiment. We ascended the sacred marble steps, 28 in number, which tradition says are steps of Pontius Pilates palace, up an down which the Savior of mankind had to pass. A number of devout were also there ascending them on their knees. Tn the Baptistry we saw the old urn in which Constantine I. was baptized and in which Rienza bathed; heard the musical bronze doors, the construction of which was formerly attributed to 8 miraculous intervention of the Deity. We visited the Catecombs, that char nel house of the Italian dead; but, thanks! 1 would not care to see it again.
 'Rome is mixture of everything of history, of legend and of Paganism. Yesterday we saw the king and queen. He is small, Quiet-looking man and she is rather pretty, but dresses some what dawdily for queen. They seem to be quite popular, however"
 Mr. and Mrs. Carrigan were in Flor ence six weeks and in Sienna two. From Rome they will go to Naples, Amalfi, Sorenti, Capri, Pompeii. and so on. In the cities and towns visited they remain from week toa month or more, just as the spirit moves them. 1! will probably be year yet before they return home, but in the meantime they
 will have seen pretty much of interest all old Dame Europa has to show tC visitors from across the sea.

Col. Jack Rivers, in an interview with a reporter of the Los Angeles Times, says: "A ten-ton smel:er is now in the course of erection on the Valen- stella property near Quartzsite, north of Yuma. It requires two tons of coke per pay. The Valensuella property is among the most valuable in western Arizona. Two shafts each 2S0 feet deep have been sunk on the main ledge; at that depth it is eight feet wide and averages 40 per cent in copper. Taking into consideration the size of the ore body and its high grade it is the finest showing of copper to be found in vest ern Arizona"

MISSOURI STILL LEADS
Iias Furnished More People to Ore
gon Than Amy Other State.

The last census returns show
that of a total of 413,536 people in
Oregon in the year 1900, 4.19 per
cent were from Missouri; 400 per
cent from Illinois, and $50 per
cent from Iowa. Next in point Of
contributing to Oregon's population
was Ohio, while California, New
York and Indiana were not far be-
hind. Florida has furnished us
less people than any other state in
the Union, her contribution being
only 86. The territory Of Alaska,
with 84, was at the foot Of the list.
The large percentage of people
from Missouri is not surprising
when il is remembered that Oregon
was first settled by Missourians,
and emigration from that state to
the Pacific Coast continued heavy
until late in the '60s. Oregon also
received large additions to her
populations from Iowa, Illinois,
Ohio, New York and Indiana in
the early days. Later the tide of
immigration set in from the
Northern states, and the last ten
years have shown surprising gains
in the number of settlers furnished
by Wisconsin, Minnesota and Mich
igan. At the present time, these
states as well as Kansas, Nebraska
and Oklahoma, are contributing
heavily to our population, while
the influx of settlers from the older
states continues steady.

WEST CAN STAND ALONE
Eastern Financial Panlcs No Longer
Effect Middle and Western
States.

For long years the West has
been recognized as the newer of
wood and the drawer of water from
the East. 1t has grown to be
recognized as the granary of the
whole country. But like all new
sections 1T was a borrowing section
which depended upon the East for
its financial sustenance and with
out that it could do little. But in
the past three or four years a change
quite as significant in its way as a
revolution has come. The West
has paid off its debts, it has money
in the bank and it is standing on
its own financial bottom. The test
and proof of its financial stability
and its right to recognition upon
equal terms with the older COM
munities, has come during the
present financial stringency in the
East. Whether considered from
the standpoint of periodicity or the
outward and evident signs of COM
mercial reaction, the country should
now be undergoing the dislocating
throes of a panic. Stocks have
gone to pieces, confidence insofar as
it receives its impulse from Wall
street has been destroyed and some
Of the mighty names Of finance,
names we were wont to conjure
with, have been dragged in the
mire and bracketed with the coars-
est and rawest Of stock gamblers.
And yet there is no panic. 1t is
because of the financial stability Of
the West. II has been making no
hypothetical fortunes based on
watered stocks, it has been indulg-
ing in no wildcat speculations and
whatever it has it possesses in the
coin Of the realm. The backbone
Of the country, the farmers, are out
of debt. They have products on
hand and they have money in the
banks. They are asking no odds
Of anyone, and if there are favors.
to extend many Of them are extend
ing them. Therefore the West in
this emergency has become the
financial balance wheel Of the
country; it has earned its right to
stand squarefooted and face to face
with the East on terms Of perfect
equality. In the vast forward
movement which is now in progress
and which is preliminary to and
has forced the building of the
Isthmian canal, it is the South and
the West which will be most largely
stimulated, Portland Journal.

DALLAS, POLK
commands and entreaties, brought
them to a realization of our own
perilous situation and the madness
of trying to reach the other side Of
the river by swimming. This was
ffty-seven years ago, and yet the
words Of that frantic appeal by the
women, which saved our boat and
two families from certain and
speedy destruction, are fresh in my
memory. They were: "Men, don't
quit the oars; if you do, we will all
be lost"
The men returned to their oars
just in time to avoid, by great ex-
ertion, a rock against which the
current dashed with such fury that
the foam and froth upon its apex
was as white as milk. / sat on the
light-hand side of the boat, and the
rock was SO near that | could have
put my hand on it, had we not
passed SO quickly.
Having escaped the present
danger, the next thought was to
effect a landing at the earliest
possible moment, but the shore was
rock bound, rising several feet per-
pendicularly and presenting a
serried line Of jagged points against
which the rapid current fretted and
frothed, and the waves, rearing
their foam-fecked heads aloft,
rushed to destruction like martial
squadrons upon an invincible foe.
All! This half-hour's experience
this scene so wild, so commo-
tional, so fearful and exciting, we're
worth years of ordinary life, had
not death been there!
Lower down the river, there was
a break in the line of the shore,
and here the boat was landed, the
women and children going ashore.
1t has often been said that "Truth
is stranger than felton," and it is
true, for an author manufacturing
a story will avoid what would APP
pear to be absurd; but in telling a
true story, facts must be stated re-
gardless Of appearances. This is a
case in point, for it is a fact that
Jest as our boat touched the shore,
father grabbed his gun froL its
place in the boat to shoot our
Indian pilot, but he had disap-
peared, a fact which, under the ex-
element Of landing the boat, father
had not noticed. In fact, it seemed
that no one had noted his dis
appearance or knew what had be-
come OF him. We never knew.
A suspicion seems to have been
aroused only a few minutes before
our boat landed that our pilot
meant treachery, intending to lead
us into these rapids with the ex-
pectation that the whole party
would be drowned. If there was
evidence to justify this suspicion, /
never heard what it was, and can
only attribute it to the delirium Of
excessive grief and the natural in
clination to blame someone for the
great calamity. l presume that
the first impulse was to hold the
pilot responsible and execute ven
geance upon him; and, carried for
ward by the intense excitement,
which amounted to frenzy, there
was no time for reflection.
From the south shore of the river
