tracts. The star route approprla-
tion made by congress each year is
in excess Of 81, 600. 900. 1t has been
asserted fer twenty years that there
is corruption in the railway mail
service and that the railroads and
certain members OF congress divide
tbs profits. Several congressional
in vestigations have not proved this,
although the men making the
charges have always said those in
control of the railroads aud steam
ship companies and the Eene-
ficiaries in congress have been pow

Schlamp Won Hofe, Of Nirestem on
the Rhine, on the charge of adulter
ating the wine made by him by the
addition of solutions of sugar In
illegal quantities. and sentenced to
pay a fine of 1900 marks. Because
OF the pure food law, which goes
into effect July l, the department
OF agriculture was anxious for the
facts, as it may be necessary for the
United States to follow the same lines
in the prosecutions under the new
law. 1t was brought out in the
trial that Won Hofe, during the
year 1893 to 1901. had bought from
one firm alone almost sl5. 1000 worth
Of sugar, and also large quantities
of raisins. which he designated az

per 100 pounds. The matter was
continued until the first. Monday IN

that the present rate was reason
able and that the cate asked by
she board of trade would be un-
reasonable and Improbable. The
natter was continued until July Z
next. Now, General McClurg, rep
rssenting the Meridian beard, Of
ftradesfias fled a petition with the
commission to the effect that the
matter. pleaded by the road indi-
Gated that all OF the evidence as to
whether the rates were reasonable
Or unreasonable was in the knowl-
edge and possession of the railroad
company, and asked the commission
to grant a rule upon the railroad
company to furnish evidence at the
hearing showing the cost of con-
strGction OF the railroad, or cost of

rites the petition expressly asked

The Big River.

The Colorado river has reached a higher stage during the present rise than for several years. The highest mark registered was 2 feet II inches. This was not long maintained, but it has lowered between 27 and 28 feet for several days. The gauge showed 2 feet inches this morning, and q falling river.
 The results from the overflow in the lower end of the valley have been some what more serious than common during the high water periods, but no damage of extremely serious proportions has been dCne. The hcadgate Of the Ludy canal has stood the pressure well, show ing that it was well planned and con- structed. The necessity, however, for 6 substantial levee along the Colorado river has again been emphasized, and the question should again be taken up and no rest taken until one is con- structed. Government help should be asked, and we believe if the question is properly and energetically handled, congress can be induced to give us an appropriation for the purpose this winter

Some of the public-spirited ladies of Yuma have established free reading room in the building immediately north of the new Molina block on Main street, where may be found late newspapers, periodicals and magazines and a few books. This may be said to be the nu- cleus of what it is hoped will develop, though it may be slowly into credit able public library. The ladies would doubtless be pleased to receive contri- buttons of books, magazines, or other reputable literature, as there is no Carnegie fund to draw upon to boost the enterprise, which is most lauda- ble one. The leading spirit in the en- terprise, Mrs. pr. Bailey, ought to re- ceive substantial encouragement in this progressive move.
 The bids for construction of the new 10,000-tOn battleships authorized by congress have been opened. The limit of cost was $4, 100000 and the bids are only slightly under that figure. Nor is this strange, fer the navy depart ment and experts, under the direction of the committee, figured the cost of construction very closely, and made l the limit as low as was safe. Had it been below $4 ,OOO,0OO it is probable no bids would have been received. The contractors want three and half years to complete the work.

We have now moved into our new building and are ready to do a banking business in all of it's branches. We buy and sell exchange of all kinds. We sell exchange on New York, Tucson [ ArizOna) and LCs Angeles, thus GOV ering the entire country. Our exchange rates are lower than postolfice money orders and afford the purchaser more protection. We have money to loan on good security for short time. We expect to deal in real estate and if you have anything to sell or wish to buy, we would be glad to have an OppOrtu- nifty to serve you. As our responsibil- ity is not yet very well known to pee pie who are residents of Yuma, we wish to state that we would be glad if they would make inquiries of Dun's or Bradstreet's Commercial Agency. Most of our money, outside of the paid up capital of this bank. is invested in east ern real estate, which is the safest and best kind of investment, as it can neither be destroyed nor does it 1uctu- ate in value, and not being an incorpo- rated institution we are liable for our full worth and are in no way protected by law as an incorporated bank would be.
