EDITOR PRESS: The action of the gov ernment in advertising for bids for the construction of the dam and sluiceways for the Yuma project has only put at rest all doubt and uncertainty regarding the governments intentions on the Colo rado river, but it has also attracted a great deal of interest to the town of Yuma and the country adjoining, for which this project is ostensiby designed. With the object of learning what might be by personal visit, the writer made trip to Yuma last week.
 There are good many things about Yuma that we fee5I are la{ above criti- cism. It is far from our Neal of what town sF'd Id be. It is,,oenicely located, nor :s It ncr-oI Ifer its beauty. But there are signs tlf awakening, and there is nope that tthe Yuma of the future will be built along modern ideas, on higher ground, and the present town come to be known as Yuma-under-the pinole- vile, catfishtown, or some equally elo- ouent and descriptive designation.
 We found the officers of the Water Users Association to be gentlemanly and obliging, and busily engaged in closing up the work of getting the land owners properly organized and all legal matters put in shape for the fOrthcom- ing government construction work. We learned that it was required that the owners of 95 Ter cent of all tn lands had to sign for stock in the Water Users Association and agree to pay their pro- portion of the total expense, before the Secretary of the Interior would enter into the contract with the Water Users Association, or the work of construction c.u d be begun. But so thoroughly har- n,,.,.ious are the Yuma people, that only about ? per cent are out, and most ot this is in small tracts, or tracts to which title is not clear.
 It is accepted as a matter of course among the Yuma people, that lIlperal will be included in the lower Colorado government irrigation project, and that Inv the time the Yuma dam is completed and water is ready to turn into their ditches, and government irrigation act ually begun in the Yuma valley, we will have our affairs strengthened out and that water will be turned to this valley under the reclamation act at the same time it is to Yuma. It is pointed ont that the contractor on the Yuma dam will be allowed two years in which to complete the work of construction and also, that the canal work necessary for the Imperial project, so far as the main canal is concerned could be built in q few months. This manner Of cal culating from the Yuma standpoint would give us more than yearln winch to properly organize our people, and

ODD IDEA OF HUMoR.
The Joke a Famous Frenehman Played
Upon His Friends.

ne Joke i dnOuS TTonCNIUdH FidJoo
Upon His Friends.
NJ. Henri Bonaventure Monnier, the
famous French caricaturist, author
mimic and practical joker. was in the
habit of showing his ability in the
last named direction to an extent
never even reached by such a master
OF the art as Theodore Hook. He
would carefully plan a scheme and
work up to the climax with the skill
Of a perfect actor.
One day he stopped at the door
Of a concierge.
rs M. Henri Monnier here?" he
asked
mo SIR" answered the concierge
politely. He does not live here and
he does not call here"
"Oh, yes he does" replied Mon
nier glibly, because / am Henri Mon
nier!" Then, laughing immoderately
he went off without another word.
The next day he returned to the
house. and so great was his power Of
facial expression as we'll as his ability
in making up that he was completely
unrecognizable.
Can l see NJ. Henri Monnier?"
was his question.
NO, sir. He Is not here. No
gentleman of that name ever calls
here" answered the concierge, an
noyed.
"Ha, ha! Wrong again! am Henri
Monnier, my dear SIR" and on that
once more he went off, laughing.
On the third day still another diff
ferent looking gentleman presented
same exasperating question. This
time Il dawned upon the concierge
that he was being '.spoofed."
IF ever you dare come here again
and ask for Henri Monnier," he ex-
claimed, I'll break a stick over your
shoulders"
Monnier went home and wrote the
following note to about half a dozen
of his friends:
Dear Comrade-I have changed my
rooms. I now live at (giving the
name Of the street and the house at
which he had so sorely tried the con-
cjerge.) Will you come this evening
and help me in a little house warm
ing and jollification? We will have
supper and a real good evening.
The evening came. and the first of
the guests arrived at the house.
us M. Henri Monnier in?"
This was enough for the infuriated
concierge. Down came his stick up
on the shoulders Of the appalled, and
mystified visitor. who was unmerci-
fully belabored before he could get
away. All six arrived in turn, and
all six were subjected to the same
treatment. In the meantime Monnier
sat at home enjoying the joke.

Willoughby. gazing earnestly on his
still sleeping guest. HE looks like
one tenderly nurtured."
HE is pale now from loss Of blood
which gives his delicate features g
feminine beauty; but I Judge he Is
no stranger to athletic exercises
That light frame Is sinewy," replied
Sewer. But the major will want
to hear how he has stood the IA
tigue. I must be gone"
you shall not leave us till morn

young friend might feel some awk-
wardness in being left with strangers
Rest with us tonight. Tomorrow We

pressing him In warm hospitality
Mr.. Willoughby would take no re-

ALICE RoosEvELTs EXPLOIT.
She Jumped Into Swimming Tank
Dressed In Street Attire.

Dressed In Street Attire.
"The transport Sheridan, which ar
rived here a day or two ago from Ma
nila by way Of Nagasaki. brings a story
of Miss Alice Roosevelt, the presidents
daughter, who is with the Taft party,
that shows her In a most interesting
and unconventional role. She jumped
into the swimming tank on the deck
Of the steamer Manchuria with her
clothes on because of dare she was
the first to propose.
TT was a hot morning, the day af-
ter the Manchuria had left Nagasaki,
for Manila. On the forward deck, just
below the bridge, a large canvas bath
ing tank had been erected for the
members Of the Taft party. On this
particular morning Miss Roosevelt
stood near the tank. hat off, but with
a pretty silk parasol to protect her
from the suns rays. She was wear
ing a dainty white silk waist and
cream colored skirt Of silk. On her
feet were tan slippers.
"'Mr. Longworth,' she remarked to
that representative, according to the
story brought by the Sheridan. II you
will take a plunge, dressed as you are,
will follow suit
but Mr. Longworth was not In
gallant humor that morning. Arrayed
in a blue coat, flannel trousers and
white shoes he surveyed the water,
looked at the daring girl and then
shrugged his shoulders by way Of OBJ
lection.
"'Well, IL you don't dare. do was
Miss Roosevelt's remark, and before the
dozen or more members Of the Taft
party who were on zthe.Sscene could
make an exclamation Of surpfise. Miss
Roosevelt had tossed her p4tasol aside,
and, dressed as she was ldaped into the
tank.
Don't you take a dare? she mer-
rily shouted from the tank to Mr..
Longworth, as she arose to the surface
and started to swim as gracefully as
her bedraggled clothing would al
low.
This was too much for him and he
plunged into the tank and helped Miss
Roosevelt to a step. where they both
climbed UP and out Of the water
