Farewell Party:

Miss Post gave very pleasant little
dinner Thursday evening. April I3,. at
the Southern Pacific Hotel in honor OF
her niece, Miss Anita Post. and her
friend, Miss Ehnor Norway, who are
both students at the University of ART
IONA, and came to Yuma to- spend Che
week of their spring vacation. The
youDg ladies invited to meet themwese
Miss Mildred P. Foster, Miss Ethel
Baker, Miss Bessie Mum, Miss Geor-
gfa ard Jennie Polhamus and Miss
Sarah Levy. The table was decorated
with sweet peas, corsage bouquets be-
ing provided for each lady of separate
coiors Of the same. The place cards;
had very appropriate poetical quota
lions; mostly from Burns.
After the deiicately prepared menu,
served in mine host Cargif's most APP
proved style, the company repaired TO
the pleasant apartments Of Mrs Dr.
Ketcherside at the Imperial. where
they had been invited to spend the re-
mainder Of the evening. Miss Foster
played some Of her favorite selections
in her sympathetic manner so charm
ing to all lovers OF good music, and af-
ter a time spent in social converse
which seemed all too brief, the guests
separated, feeling that ore more happy
memory day had been added to life.

German Field Guns Unsatisfactory.

Although adopted but few years
ago the entire quick-iring field artil-
lery OF Germany has been condemned,
and it is 10 be replaced by field guns
similar to those used by the japanese.
In the selection of family medicine
the people of our own country have al
so made mistakes. They have been
deceived time and again into trying
this or that remedy in the hope of OBJ
tanning cure without success. Not
SO, however, with those who selected
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, for in il
they found good health and happiness.
Better, by far, than anything else for
the cure of indigestion. dyspepsia. con-
stipation, biliousuess, chills, colds, la
grippe, spring fever, impure blood,
torpid liver and female complaints
That's why so many people stick to it
so faithfully and why we urge you
again to try bottle this spring.

III. w. BiaisdeIl Buys Water and Light
Plant and Yuma Heights.

The Yuma Water and Light plant
has been purchased by H. ". Blaisdell;
who originally installed the plant, and
who until few months ago was the
president and general manager OF the
Yuma Water and Light Company,
Of which he was also the promoter.
Differences arose between the local
manasetnent and Boston stockholders
which finally resulted in the property
being advertised for sale, and evident
ly in retaliation, suit against the
company by Mr.. Blsisdell for 1000.
The magnificent orange and fruit
farm on the mesa, known and famed as
Yuma Heights, owned by the same
company, has also been purchased by
Mr.. Blaisdell, who is now in sole con-
troll and ownership OF this property and
of the water and light plant.
This ends the receivership suit as
well as Mr.. Bla sd lis suit against the
company, pending in the district court,
and to some extent al leas. comes as a
relief to patrons of the water and light
company. 1t will be remembered that
the company threatened 20 close down
the plant and that suit was brought by
A. Fl. Cargill and c. V. Meeden, for
the people of Yuma, to enjoin the COM
pany from disseminating its service,
and asking for the appointment of u
receiver.

Prof. Miller Reported Safe.

The Los Angeles Examiner of Mon
day quotes Senior Aguillar. q wealthy
mine owner of Sonora, as saying that
Prof Henry E. Miller and Gus Olinder
are alive and we'll. In an interview
Senior Aguillar said, in part:
Being an extensive employer OF
Yaquis. l was naturally interested in
the report that Messrs. Miller and
Olinger had been killed and eaten by
cannibals while attempting to explore
Tiburon island. An investigation was
recently made among the Indians, and
| can say With all assurance that the
men in question were not killed. They
will be found alive and well by any
party which may go to the island in
search of them. %
The reports that the inhabitants OF
Tiburon are cannibals are wrong. On
the contrary they are the most timid
lot of people you can imagine. At the
sight of q white man they flee like
sheep"
The poor old mother of Henry E.
Miller, writes g pathetic letter to Louie
Esselburn for information regarding
her son. Having read the Examiner
report of his probable fase' she is
grief stricken, but like all good moth
ers, hopes against hope that he may
yet be found alive. The above item
from the Examiner will afford Mrs
Miller relief and tend to allay her
fears. We hope the story is true.

A High River Again.

The Colorado river was on another
splurge last week, and reached within
six inches of the highest mark in four
teen years. The river began to rise
Thursday night and by morning had
reached the 90 foot mark. The 80 foot
mark was out of sight before night and
this was the register Saturday morn
ing, when it began to fall. The rise
is due to floods from the ella and Salt
rivers, which have again swept away
Maricopa and Phoenix at Tempe. ~
boye Phoenix section Of the Arizona
canal was washed away. The probable
ity is thaS we will now have a surcease
of high water until the regular June
rise, which is not likely to exceed in
volume what we have already expert
enced. A yashout of the track on the
railroad occurred near Ell Rio at the
same place torn sway by The floods OF
two weeks ago, where o temporary
trestle work had 'heen PIT in There
was marrow escape for the Golden
State Limited The Rock Island)which
had just crossed wheg the structure
went down before the swiftly running
stream. The break was repaired by
IL o'clock Sunday morning and traffic
was again resumed. The Colorado has
been falling fast and now stands at
% feet.

Public SCHOOL News

For the past thirty weeks 1 have done
my best TO edit ''Public School News
solely for the benefit of Yuma public
schools. All who have read my col
umns and are competent to compI E.
bend what l have written have fully
appreciated my work. Ny purpose has
been the uplifting and popularizing OF
Yuma public schools by giving the pa
irons, business and professional men,
weekly reports, thus encouraging all
the patrons and pupils, and enlisting
the strong and helpful sympathy and
loyal cooperation of the best people cf
the city and country in our public
school work.
During much of this time Mrs. W God
son mss not been we'll enough to do our
housework: hence the cooking and
other heavy household responsibilities
have fallen to my duty.
To those who have read my feeble
efforts and have appreciated them; o
my teachers, patrons and pupils, and
TO the business men whose loyal sup
port I believe [ lave had all the time,
l return my deepest gratitude. I ten
der my sincere thanks to the city press
for valuable space and for the uniform
courtesy accorded me at all times.
Having to write and re=write the
matter for "School Newss'' a cohserva-
tive estimate of all that have written
will foot up at least 500 pages for all
the three papers since the opening OF
the schools free-will Offering upon
the altar of public education.
To what extent I have succeeded in
awakening popular interest in the
schools, and i'll the cause of education
generally, cani1ot be estimated now;
l hope at leust that what | have said
will be taken for what it is worth and
as it was meant-for the good of all
concerned.
Most faithfully,
G. G. Woodson.

that the docket was not cleared is nc
fault of Judge Campbell. 1t may be
added that there were fewer continu-

Judge Campbell is new on the bench,
he has made an admirable record from
every standpoint. Judge Campbell WAS
