Another Railroad in Yuma County

The Mohave County Miner says:
Five miles OF track has been laid on
the Arizona, California & Santa Fe
railroad, the new line building from
Congress TO the Colorado river, down
Bill Williams Fork. 1t is stated that
contracts for the grading of forty miles
of roadb bed and the laying of steel has
already been let. This will carry the
road almost south of Signal and will
open up ons of the richest mining Sec
tions of the territory. Along the south
border OF Mohave county and the north
part of Yuma there is an area of
country many miles in extent that is
gridironed with veins of gold and cop
per. These veins are in a lime form
alton and the ores are easily smelted.
Covering the country for many square
miles are great deposits of iron, many
of these deposits carrying pay values
in gold. With the advent of rail-
road the big mines will be taken over
by large corporations. smelters will be
installed and the country will become
one of the most populous and progress
sive in the west. Many small mines
carrying high values in gold and cop
per will be worked by chloriders and
the output sold to the smelters.

Two hundred farmers of Dunk,

Two hundred farmers of Dunk
lin county, Missouri, have pc
titioned the Legislature of that
state to cede their territory to
Arkansas, as 'they are too self
respecting to reside in a state
which has gone republican.
This is taking defeat pretty hard
but it is q question whether u
state would be allowed to cede a
county to another state even IL
disposed to do so, and even if
the reason were sane.

4 general inquiry among ship
owners reveals, the fact that the
passage of a free ship law, with.
out any further encouragement
to American shipping, will not
increase the American merchant

yond' the American tariff wall he
comes in competition with all

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES.

We are going to have a new'lsind of
honor roil-one that will mean more
than the ordinary honor roll at school.
Ours will be called the ''Distinction
Role with n "stall-fed'r b and, +, II
you<please: Here Is orr pian- At the
close of each month those pupils IL the
7th and 9th grades, faud of other
grades too, if their teachers, wish
whose standing in two or more studies
is 80 or more, will have their names
and standing placed on the "Distinc-
tion Roll" and published in our COL
umn in the city papers. Perfection in
attendance and excellence in deport-
ment will be counted four distinctions
According to this plan some of our pu-
pills will be able to merit all the way
from one to eight distinctions each
month. In fact, every patron should
see to it that his own children merit
two or more distinctions every month.
The pupil who cannot distinguish him
self or herself for attendance, deport-
ment or excellence in some study will
be poor student.
Parents and pupils are earnestly re-
quested to watch our Public School
News column in the city papers every
week. Patrons, your new superintend-
ent is not editing this column for fun,
fame, fortune or his health. He has
no other motives than to arouse and
maintain lively interest in our public
school work, to enlist hearty cooper
alton of all the people of Yuma and
thus to assist in bringing our public
schools up to higher standards of work,
responsibility, usefulness and influence.
Are these selfish motives, or are they
such motives as every citizen will ap-
prove? Let US all work together for
the improvement of our children and
for the elevation and betterment of
the on-coming generation of men and
women who will rush forward to take
our and their places in the mighty
line of future citizens in this great
sisterhood of American republics.
In a recent sermon Bro. Crouch, who
has done more than anyone else for
the uplifting of society in Yuma, truth
fully said that our public schools are
largely responsible for there being
1000, 900 of voters in the U. S. who
can not read their ballots. Let every
man, woman and child in Yuma, who
claims to stand for decency, pure and
intelligent citizenship, and higher and
grander achievements in our public
schools, rise in the majesty of their
manhood and womanhood and rescue
the children of our growing and rapid
ly developing but wicked and coming
city of the Great American Desert"
from such blighting curse of ignor-
apce. Rouse ye HUMANS!
Last Monday. and Tuesday the fol-
lowing teachers were examined for
certificates to teach in the Arizona
public schools: Misses Priest, Hickey,
Caldwell, McDermatt and Minshu!l,
and Messrs. Hall and Riddle. Here's
hoping that they may all obtain GER
tifcates and so forward continuing to
bless humanity By their work and
...ogor CIR noble profession; "

COLORADO RIVER.

The Colorado river carries
enough water to irrigate 5000, :
900 acres of land, and the river
is higher in summer. than in
winter-high water mark being
reached the last week in June.
Therefore any diversion of the
water that can be made cannot
materially affect the flow of the
stream. "
Times in Yuma are now ad-
vancing upward. Everything
indicates that prosperity is now
here, and come to stay. The
rapidly settling valleys above
and below US, the active revival
of the mining interests contigu-
Gus thereto, and various COM
binations of suspicious circum-
stances all point to a very pros
porous future for Yum.

c. j. Tyler Dead.

C. J. Tyler. aged Al, died at the City
Hospital this morning, of typhoid
fever He had been sick about two
weeks and for the past few days
there was little hope of his recovery.
He was a painter, and came here
from Stanton, Va, about three years
ago Since coming here he has made
large number of friends who will
be sorry to learn of his death. A
wife and two children survive him.
The remains We're taken to the Jones
undertaking parlors and will be ship
ped to Staunton tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Tyler was an excellent Chris
tian gentleman. No one knew him
but to like him. He was a faithful
and consistent member OF the First
Baptist Church, of this city, having
brought his letter when he came to
live here. He will be greatly missed,
and the sympathy of all who knew
him will go out to his wife and chill
dren. We can i'll afford TO lose such
an upright and Industrious citizen as
was c. ]. Tyler.

PEACE
ASSURED
TO MANY THOUSANDS OF WORK.
MEN BY AN AGREEMENT
REACHED LAST NIGHT

PITTSBJRG, July Within a few
at which time all wage scales OF the
AmalgGmated Association OF Iron.
Steel and Tin Workers expired. the
Association wage scale committee
reached an agreement on the sheet
scale with the American Sheet and
Tin Plate Company.
The workers accept an IS per cent.
reduction in wages. For days they
have argued against this. and up until
a few minutes before agreement last
night opposed it and the continuation
of lie three per cent. rebate plan.
The latter was not settled. and will
be cared for at meeting to be held
in the latter part OF July.
AlnalSamated men. it has been ru-
mored for several days, would be
agreeable to accepting the is per
cent decrease, but were opposed TO the
rebate. The rebate is 5 per cent. of
the wages of the employees which is
turned back to the company on all
foreign orders.
The agreement assures peace for
about $4,000 sheet mill workers, about
half Of whom are members of the
Association.
1t assures peace, also, for about So
900 more of the same craft, who are
employed in Independent sheet mill
factories.

charge IS still talked of on the
streets. The people say that some
thing ought TO be douc. But before
anything can be started some friend
of the woman will have TO get out
the necessary papers. Then she can
be examined by the physician hired
by the county for such purpose and
his decision will settle it. All that
is necessary now is for some one 10
take up her case and see that she is
provided for in case she is set free,
and the proceedings will begin.

OKLAHOMA WANTS Hell
TO GATHER COTTON CROP.
EXPECTS AVERAGE YIELD ON
THIRTY PER CENT. IN
CREASED ACREAGE.

GUTHRIE, Okla, June 3G.-Ac-
cording to Joseph B. Thoburn. sec
rotary of the Oklahoma board of ag-
riculture, the cotton crop this year in
the territory will be the greatest
ever harvested in Oklahoma Mr..
Thoburn says:
The cotton acreage of Oklahoma
is estimated at 80 per cent. greater
this year than it was last. The
United States department of agricul-
ture rated the condition of Olllaho-
ma cotton above that of every other
cotton growing State several weeks
ago Many sinneries are being erect
ed. Already there is strong demand
for field help in several localities
The amount of field help that is need
ed in chopping out, however. is small
in comparison to what will be need
ed when picking time arrives. Last
year there We're some places in the
territory where the cotton was not
gathered as promptly as it should
have been on account of scarcity of
field help and the resultant loss was
considerable. This year. with a much
larger acreage and the prospect of at
least a normal yield, the demand for
help at picking time will be much
heavier Oklahoma probably has
enough idle people to supply this ex-
ira demand in handling the cotton
crop if they could be induced to
work Modern commercial and in
dustrial activity can surmount al
most any obstacle, but they can not
make over the nature of the drone,
hence there must be the importation
of some labor from neighboring
States and communities where there
is less demand for it. The discussion
of this subject is already agitating
the minds of the people in several
cotton-Srowing counties of Oklaho-
ma. Whether this imported labor
shall consist of whites or negroes or
Mexicans seems to be the main aues-
tin.
In this connection, it is perhaps
well to call attention to the fact that
the rapid spread of the boil weevil in
Texas is credited quite largely to the
annual pi1grimages of cotton pickers
from districts that are infested with
that troublesome pest to those which
were not. While it is possible that
the boil weevil will reach Oklahoma
in the course of time, the cotton
growers of this territory should de-
lay it's progress in this direction as
much as possible, and. to this end
they should hesitate a long time be-
fore, inviting their introductions by
the coming of itinerant cotton pick
ers from any region. which is infect
ed.
