From the Imperial Press.
The whole situation is chaotic

"a severe test of the reclamation

have been studing the treaties
and physical facts with the view
of keeping myself informed and
in position to act intelligently
on the subject.
That is the view taken by
Senator Bard of the complex
conditions governing the Yuma
arid land reclamation project
and that of the Imperial Vally
both being based on the use of
the Colorado river.
Senator Bard has just re-
turned from an inspection OF
the Yuma and the Imperial, Val
ley regions, in company with
Chief Engineer Newell of the
Reclamation Service and num-
Der of attaches of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. A talk
with the Senator developed the
intimation that the serious and
complicated questions concerned
in the matter would probably
embarass the Secretary of the
Interior in arriving at conclu-
sion.

THE rHDWINTER NUMBER.

The Midwinter Number of
The Times will appear, as usual,
on the first of the year. In re-
gard to its contents, it is scarce
~ necessary to say more than
that it will be fully up to the
high standard of previous num-
bers, and perhaps, in some re-
spects, better. 1t will consist
in addition to the ordinary pa
per-of three special magazine
sections, aggregating from IS to
100 pages of "meaty" matter, in
Guiding twenty-five full-page IL
Illustrations, and smaller half
tones.
This year a specialty will be
made of the deserts of the ard
Southwest and their reclamation,
a subject of special interest just
now, when the benefcent work
Of national irrigation is assum-
ing defnate shape. There will
graphic pen-pictures of life
in the Land of the Afternoon,
and a complete story of the Won
derfnl progress made during the
past year by the great South,
west, extending from Fresno on
the north to FL Paso on the
southeast.
You can do no more effective
missionary work than by send
ing a liberal number Of copies Of
this Midwinter Number 10 your
friends and acquaintances IL the
East. Copies viii De for sale,
wrapped ready for mailing, al
the price Of 10 cents each. Ad.
vertisements for this number
must be received not later than
December %. This number will
circulate among thousands OF
home seekers in the East and
consequently offers an exception

ments of property for sale.

contributed a purse from their
own pockets and awarded three
special prizes of s. 90 each, the
first as second prize for the best
representation of the business
advertised; another as a third
prize, and a fourth to the most
beautiful costume in the drill.
These in the order named were
awarded to Miss Cuca Tapia,
representing johnson & Bowles
hardware department; little Miss
Georgia Clark, who in the regu-
lar costume of a slaughter man
with a real, live pig, represent
ed Peter Hodges, the slaughter
man," and Miss Mary Crouch,
who was appropriately and beau
tifully attired to represent San
guinetti's Christmas goods dis
play. Everybody was pleased
and general satisfaction is ex-
pressed at the outcome, both of
the drill and the fair as a whole.
Music was furnished both
nights by the band under the
direction of Prof. Balderas, and
on Saturday night by DR.. and
Mrs. Clymer, Misses Wallace
and Priest with mandolins and
guitars, and by Charlie Balderas
with violin solo, Miss Foster
as piano accompanies.
The Bazaar was closed with q
Doll Contest among the little
girls, little Annie Caulley TAX
ingsfirst prize and Mary Spear
second prize; and Il spirited con-
test among the young ladies for
a beautiful gold watch. Miss
Agnes Balsz carried off this
prize as the most popular young
lady in Yuma. The contest was
lively but good humored, and
the best of feeling prevailed
throughout.
Altogether, the Bazaar will
long be remembered as one of
the most pleasant events ever
held in Yuma. The net pro-
ceeds are reported as upwards
of $4,000, which speaks pretty
well for a "busted community"
The Arizona sentinel., 1904-12-14

The rapid increase of the free
mail delivery under republican
auspices ought to give good pay
ing employment to thousands of
men, if there are so many in
neev Of work. By the first of
July, 1905, it is estimated that
this service will embrace 81, 600
different routes, and il is ex-
pected that for the fiscal year
following 5000 more routes will
be added. Altogether this will
cost about S26, 900, 600 annually.
1t is doubtful if any other in
dustry in the country grows
more rapidly or pays better
wages. Now if an efficient par
cells post could be added, the
benefits to the rural and CON-
mercial communities would be
beyond computation. This will
come just as soon as the people
demand it, and can be had for
the same price.

DISTRICT COURT NEWS.

The following business was trans
acted by the court during the week.
Jose Moreno, " Valencia, a. Her
nande8, D. Corona, Jesus Garcia and
''Three Fingered lack" were indicted
by the late grand jury, charged with
assault with deadly weapon in at
tempting to escape from the Territorial
Prison on the 18th of May last.
Moreno; Valencia and Hernandez
plead guilty and received 6 years
sentence. D. Corona and Jesus Garcia
also entered plea of guilty and were
sentenced to s years. ''Three Fingered
Jack" the ring-leader, refused to
plead guilty, was tried Monday, found
guilty and sentenced today to 10 years
in the penitentiary.
The following is the account of the
outbreak published at the time:
SAT S o'clock on the morning of the
2Sth, desperate break for liberty was
made by dozen convicts in the terri
torial prison, led by ''Three Fingered
Jack" the Morenci rioter. Superin-
tendent Griffith and Assistant Wilder
were in the Office in the yard when
they were surrounded by the convicts
who were armed with knives, heavy
blacksmith files and clubs, The con-
victs were in two squads, one Selling
Mr.. Griffith with the intention of TAX
ing him to the gate and demanding
the keys under penalty of death, while
the other squad expected to put Mr..
Wilder out of business by knocking
him down and tying him with d small
rope. The officers fought desperately,
but would soon have been overpoWered
had it not been for the heroic work Ct
the prison cook, w. G. Buck, who
came to the rescue with q long cary
| ing knife which he welded with good
effects upon his fellow convicts. Be
fore the arrival of Convict Buck, Mr..
! Wilder was knocked down and severe.
| ly cut and bruised. While Buck was
! lighting like a demon against great
odds, holding his own but sure to lose
in the end, Mr. Griffith called to Guard
Stevens on the wall to shoot. Mr..
! Stevens fired three charges of buck
shot into the mob of battling convicts
and the fight was over.

bat in view of the international
phases of the matter and of the
turbid condition of the law
points, it Is likely that Congress
will be asked to take final action
after the secretary has submit
ted his reports containing ind
ings of facts and recommend
atiOnS.
| The Mexican government has
fled a protest against the gov
ernment's taking the position
that the Colorado river is Il
stream for irrigation purposes
rather than for navigation. On
the other hand the Mexican gov
eminent has made q contract
with a sub-company of the Cali
fornia Development Company
permitting the construction of
canal in Mexican territory which
shall carry 10000 cubic feet of
water, from the Colorado for ir-
rigation purposes, this to be
taken from the river on the
American side, with another
clause permitting the company
to take an equal amount from
the Mexican side, so long as it
does "not injure navigation"
Not less than half of the latter
provision is to be used on the
American side of the line.
These combined amounts
would mean more than double
the average flow of the stream;
so if this claim with that given
by the State of California to the
California Development Comp
any becomes substantiated by
law, there would be no water
left for the Yuma project unless
it were obtained by storage
reservoirs and taken from the
river at the times of highest
water. These reservoirs would
in certain instances have to be
built in Colorado, and senators
from that state have said that
they would never permit such
to be done for the benefit of
another state.
Under the law of priority of
use, if the stream was to" be de-
noted-as not navigible, but for
irrigation purposes, it is thought
that the grant to the California
Development Company from the
State of California might carry
a vested right to the exclusion
of others.
"There are the international
questions to be considered"
said Senator Bard, "and with
that the legislator must consider
his duty to the interests Of the
people, together with the COM
plicated legal matters involved.
I am confident that some solu-
ton will be reached, but | am
not prepared at present to de-
One what this should be; in fact
no definate theory can be formu-
lated until we see what the Sec
rotary has to say and what his
recommendations will be. y
