ROCKLAND CANAL SOLD.
The Property Bought by San Fran cisco Company. 1.-The System as Originally Planned to be Com- pleted Without Delay.

A deal was consummated this week by which all right, title and interest ir and to the Rockland canal property anG right of way passes from the owners .Jchn NJ. Speese and Mulford Winsor-- to syndicate of San Francisco capi talists. The San Francisco people are represented here by Charles A. Mau an attorney of that city, who conducted the negotiations for the purchase of the property which have been pending since November last. The purchase price is mot made public, but it. is un- derstood that the promoters have real ized handsome profit on their invest ment of time and money, and we are pleased to note this fact. Their good judgment, energy and perseverance in the project are certainly entitled to ample remuneration.
 The Rockland canal was projected by John M. Speese, Harry McPhaul and Mulford Winsor and the first work was done in August, 1901. The headgate of this canal is in a solid rock bluff On the Colorado river, twenty miles above Yuma, and is regarded as an ideal lOca- tion for the purpose-one of the best to be found on the river. The original plans of the promoters it is understood will be carried out by the new compa- ny and work will begin very soon to complete the system.
 Some seven miles of the ditch is al- ready completed, and it will be extend ed south to the boundary line and into the state of Sonora, Mexico. It is pro- posed to irrigate several thousand acres of land between the Gila and Colorado rivers, higher lands not covered by the other canals, and also large tract in Mexico. There is no better land in the world, and this canal under it's new management, with plenty of money to carry out its plans, may be considered in the Colorado delta second only in importance to the great Imperial canal system.
 The new company has also bought the irrigation works of Rawlings & Son, including the pumping plant. which will be utilized in irrigating the mesa lands adjacent to Yuma: where can be grown the finest lemons and or anges in America, as demonstrated by the products of Yuma Heights. It is plain, without further explanation, that the importance of the Rockland canal as bearing upon the future interests Of Yuma is of great magnitude. |.

The entertainment Friday night at Elks' hall was not so well attended as the performance merited, but all who were there certainly had pleasant evenings enjoyment. Caryl and Ward in their oae-act comedy put the audi ence in good humor and made quite @ hit. AS these two are professionals it would be hardly fair to give them un- due praise. They are clever preople, but they were not "the whole show'' by any means. The programme was well presented throughout. There were many compliments on the physical culture drill by Miss Blackman's class, and in fact it was one of the best fea- lures of the bill. Mir. Wards recita- tion was fine: Miss Sarah Levy presid- ed at the piano satisfactorily, and talk en as a whole the entertainment WAS all that could be. desired.

Engineer Jones Badly Injured.

s"'Buck" Jones, a well-known engi. neer on the s. F., met with 8 shocking accident Thursday night just east of town, and as result will per- haps be laid up for several months. | The manner of the accident was unu- sual and peculiar. His engine was pull ing rush" train of coal east, when there developed handicap, in the way of leaking pipe connected with the boiler and the water tank, and Engi- | lneer Jones', leaving the fireman in charge, went to stop the leak, the train continuing meanwhile at . fair speed. When near Blaisdell station brake man climbed over the tender into the cab and asked what had become of the engineer. The fireman explained that he was fixing the pipe, but the brake man replied that MT. Jones was not on the engine, and at once it became ap- parent that something serious had hap pened. The train was brought to a stop and then backed slowly to Araby. Here the missing engineer was found, under the wheels of a refrigerator car which stood on the switch, strug- gling and .writhing in agony, his head just over the rail and his face almost buried in the sand. He had been brush ed from his engine by the open folding doors of refrigerator car and it seems a miracle that he was not killed out right. Tenderly he was placed aboard the train and brought into Yuma, where his injuries were hurriedly but carefully dressed by Dr. Cotter. He had two ghastly cuts on the head and face, one laying bare the skull and ex- tending down the right side ofthe head, splitting the ear, the other laying open the scalp from the top of the head and extending down over the face, barely missing the sight eye. Whether he sustained internal injuries was not de- termined here. He was sent to his home in Tucson the same night.

That fellow is a worse pestilence than the plague itself would be. As usual there is not shad- ow of foundation for his alarm-engen- dering rot. If he is not an immune the people of Tucson should box him up and ship him to Mazatlan.

BABY'S FUTURE
Something for Mothers
to Think About.
Lives Of Suffering and
Sorrow AVerted
And Happiness and Prosperity
Assured by
CutiCuraSoap, Ointmentand Pills
When All Else Fails.

Every child born into the world with
an inherited or early developed ten
dency to distressing, disfiguring hu-
mours of the skin, scalp and blood, be-
comes an object of the most tender so
licitude, not only because of its suffer-
ing, but because of the dreadful fear
that the disfiguration is to be lifelong
and mar its future happiness and pros
perity. Hence it becomes the duty of
mothers of such afflicted children to ac-
quaint themselves with the best, the
purest and most effective treatment
available, viz, The Cuticura Treatment.
Warm baths with Cuticura Soap to
cleanse the skin and scalp Of crusts and
scales, gentle applications Of Cuticura
Ointment, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and mild doses of Cuticura Resolvent
Pills, to cool the blood in the severer
cases, are all that can be desired for the
alienation of the suffering Of skin tor
tured infants and children, and the COM
fort of worn-out parents.
Millions Of women use Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and beautifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts,
scales and dandruff, and the stopping
of falling hair, for softening, whitening
and soothing red, rough anG sore hands,
for baby rashes, itchings and chafings,
in the form of washes for annoying
irritatioDs and inflammations, and for
many sanative, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves.

The Architect.
The building was planned, drawings
and specifications made by Architect
Frank E. Wetherell of Oskaloosa. The
building Is certainly the masterpiece
Of the work thus far done by this
young man. The plans have been sub
mitted to the ablest of eastern archi.
tectural critics and it received the
praise and compliments Of all. Mr..
Wetherell worked INCREASINGLY upon
the plans and he, together with Secre-
tary Lacy, took an extended trip to
numerous large cities in order to see
the best in the state. The best and
most desirable ideas that were found
have been embodied in the Oskaloosa
building and it stands today as a mon
ument to the gentleman's ability and
cleverness. His reputation as an ar
chitect has gone forth by this build
ing and even now he has been called
upon to furnish plans similar to those
after which the Oskaloosa building
was erected. Muscatine is today build
ing a home very similar to the Oska-
loosa building and from plans and
specifications by Mr.. Wetherell.
