The High River.

The present rise of the Colorado river has no precedent, at this time of the year--at least not within the knowl- edge of the oldest inhabitant." The highest point was at midnight Wedpes- day, when the gauge at the bridge in- dicaced 3l feet, the highest point reached since the flood of 1891. Some alarm was created by the report that the levee had given way, but the report was unfounded. The basement of the Yuma Water and Light Company's power house was flooded, however, and the elecUic light plant temporarily rendered useless. There was no other damage here except that of several hundred sacks of cement, belonging to the government, which were piled on low ground and became soaked. A re- port from the Imperial canal intake, through which the Salton sea has been supplied. is to the effect that the river is pouring over the partly completed dam and that another gash has been cut by the torrent at the lower end oi the work; but it is believed the mat ting and piling will stick and when the river falls but a short time will be re- ouired to close the intake for good.
 There has been no danger at Yuma nor has the Lsguna dam construction been interfered with.
 The present. rise in the Colorado is due to heavy and continued rains on the water shed of the Gila and Salt rivers and other tributaries, and almost an unprecedented volume of water wa: emptied into the Colorado with a rush On the upper Gila and Salt immense damage has resulted from the floods The Arizona canal dam, north of Phoe nix was swept away, as was also tht Phoenix and Eastern railroad bridge near Tempe, and the town of Tempe was for time in grave danger.
 The Colorado and Gila are now falling and the weather is clear and beautiful The maximum high water was reached Wednesday at midnight, since whict time the river has been receding.

YUMA OF EARLY DAYS
Miss Posts Contribution to the His-
 tory of the Territory,

tory or tne lerrftOry,
 One of the most interesting dele gates who was in attendance upon the meetings of the territorial federation of women's clubs was Miss M. E. Post, a delepate from the woman's club at Yuma. During the session and while considering the work of the department of Arizona History Miss Post gave a most entertaining talk regarding the early days at Yuma. For this she was most admirably fitted, having gone to Yuma in April of the year 1872. Since that date she has been al- lied with the educational work in Yuma county, teaching in the schools or acting as principal, and has during the past year had personal supervision of room in which there were some III pupils. Miss Post speaks very fuently both the Spanish and English languages and she has found it a great help to her in her school work.
 When the first legal hanging car ried out under the law of this territory was being arranged for the site chosen for the erection of the gallows was directly opposite the school house in Yuma. It was not exactly in accor- dance with the mind of Miss Post that her school children should wit ness the affair and she accordingly dismissed school for week The hanging was on the third day of May in 1873 and the man hanged was a Mexican named Fernandez. His crime was murder and he was convicted of killing a man by the name of McCart- ney, but who was known all over the west by the name of ''Rawhide. It was the custom of "Rawhide" to go on sprees at different periods of the year, and on such occasions he would lock himself into an adobe building which he owned and in which he had a very large general mercantile stock housed. Where he had come from nc one knew, and according to the eti, quet of the times no one asked.
 It was while locked in his store OF one of his drunks that Fernandez dug his way through the adobe wall and murdered him. The crime was not discovered until several days after il had been committed and the Mexican had had time to work several nights and carry goods from the store build ing, secreting them in the bushes around the town. Finally the crime was discovered, Fernandez was arrest ed and he confessed. Goods were found in almost every hiding place around Yuma. They were all taker back to the store and the officials helt an auction sale from which nearly SlOO,O00 was realized. AS ''Rawhide' had no relatives the money went to the school fund of the county.
 TThe case was tried before Judge Isham Reavis; John W. Dorringtor was clerk, and Dr. F.. L. Goodwin (deceased) Sheriff, who conducted the execution, The gallows were erected on the lot opposite the old school house the site. of which. is now occupied bl Johnson & Bowles ware, house, corner of Third and Main streets.
 In the winter of 1923 the name o the town of Yuma was change iron Arizona City to Yuma. the name i still bears. On the occasion fitting celebration was had by the resident of the town and great things were pre- dicted for it's future. Many of thes improvements have taken place, an( Miss Post has had the pleasure of see

American Supplies for England.

How England would do, and how her people would subsist, if suddenly de- prived of her American source of sup plies, is difficult to inagin. It is also difficult to imagine how the American people would keep so healthy ii sud denly deprived of the famous Hostel ter's Stomach Bitters, for in this sov- ereign remedy they have their only hope of being cured of stomach, liver and bowel disorders. It has been sub- iected to the severe test of over 5O years and has always given complete satisfaction. It's record of cures of such ailments as poor appetite, insom- nia, sick headache, nervousness, liver and kidney troubles, general debility, indigestion, dyspepsia, colds and mala- ria, leave and ague eclipses that of any other remedy. One bottle will con- vince you of its wonderful merit. Try It to day.

No SampIing Plant.

Owing to the fact that an end has come to navigation on the Colorado River, and as the districts tributary to the river were to be relied upon for the greater part of our tonnage, our purpose to erect a sampling and ore purchasing plant at or near Yuma has been abandoned. We had our site secured, plans perfected andN financial arrangements completed, but in view of the fact that the Colorado River is no longer to be highway of commerce, we have reluctantly abandoned our project.

ing them realized.
 Miss Post very entertainingly told of entrance of the first telegraph line into the territory. It was built from San Diego and was for the use of the government. In all it was $50 miles long and finally built to Tucson and Whipple. This was in March of 1874. Following the telegraph came the railroad which reached the Cali fornia side of the Colorado river at Yuma in March of 1877 and few months later the bridge across the river was completed. Yuma then as sumed metropolitan airs for with the | telegraph lines and railroad her citi- zens were indeed optimistic. Some even predicted a second San Francisco, others were more reasonable and con- tented themselves with thinking their town would some day be as large as Portland and the new cities of the northwest. However. all agreed that her future was assured.
 In 1872 diamond swindle attracted the attention of the whole country to Yuma and before it had been branded swindle there was a great rush to that locality It was the same Clarence King, who died in this city several years ago and who was then at the head of the U. $. geological survey that made the discovery that the al leged diamond fields had been plant ed by swindlers. In a suit brought in Yuma county, Philip Arnold was con- victed of being at the head of the swindle and he afterwards served a term in prison for the part he took.
 Mis- Post also tells of many of the trials and tribulations the city ot Yuma has experienced in attaining the growth she has attained, but like 8 true Yumaite, she is also confident that better and greater prosperity is in store for the county seat of Yuma county.-Phoenix Republican.
