River Receding

The Colorado river is now steadily falling. U. $. Weather Bureau reports bring information that the streams of it's upper drainage area in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah have subsidcd, and news from Needles mention that it is falling there. So we are at last to see the end of the long series of disastrous floods that have been devastating the greater part of Yuma valley since Jau- nary.
 This has been record breaking year. The rainfall of oyer five inches is almost double that of any year since 1879, when weather records first began to be kept 1; the high water mark for summer rise has been raised eleveu inches and the lands of the greater part of the valley which have previously never been over flooded more than twice during the win ter and spring, the freshets never lasting more than two days, have been under water almost continuously for six months.
 Before this year the highest summer flood known since the first white man came into the country occurred in 1862. Capt. Isaac Polhamus, who has been on the river since 1856. and who next to Hall Hanlon, is the pioneer of this re- zion, forming his judgment from the general appearance of the stream and it's banks, believes that the flood of the early days about equalled the present one. Speaking of early times few days ago he said that he believed that there had been no very great rise in the river for many, perhaps hunured years pre- vious to 1862, judging from the eXtraor- dinary quantity of drift wood in the stream during that summer. This he says came down in immense masses, often packed in immense rafts covering almost the entire width of the stream and extending up and down for two or three miles, including great numbers of huge dead logs piled so deep and dense that the up going steamer had great difficulty in forcing way through the mass, often being obliged to hug the banks and slow down to allow it to pass.
 1t is not likely that such floods will ever be experienced in this valley again. In a few years the great government reclamation projects will have been com pleted and the flood waters restrained from doing damage to the lower county as well as being Impounded and stored for rrigating the higher regions.- Yuma Sun.

CATTLE - Receipts this morning were
only moderate, there being about 2s cars
half OF the week the receipts amount 10
S61 cars as against 1.09s for the same days
of last week. Under the influence of a
good demand, moderate offerings and ia
vorable advices from other selling pointa
the general market was in very fair conrif-
ton. While the trade was not particularly
active, the most OF the cattle changed hands
In reasonable season.
There did not appear to be any great sup
there was quite sprinkling OF range steers
good enough for killers While the market
on beeves did not develop much actiyitv
there was q fair demand and the Offerings
generally changed hands at Just about
steady prices. In some cases cattle that
just happened to strike a buyers fancy
may have sold a little strong, at least some
statesmen thought they got out little bet
Cows and heifers were again In moderate
supply and very fair demand and the mar
ket generally In a good healthy condition
Statesmen, however, were not agreed in
their ideas, some calling the market only
steady with yesterday and others 5sf1Oc
higher. The fact of the matter was that
the market was stronger yesterday and
wound UP higher so that those who got
the advance yesterday did not call the
market any higher today, while those who
did not get II yesterday found prices better
today. They would all agree that the mar
ket is right around 10c higher than Monday
Stockers and feeders were in very fair
supply, but there was Also a good demand
for desirable kinds at fully steady prices
