Overflow Conditions in Yuma Valley

The overflow has receded as far as Somerton. but the sloughs immediately west from there are still running full and impossible. The ground has dried out so that it is passable for teams to drive as far as the Lawrence Williams place. Farmers east of SomertOn are rushing in overflow crops. Lawrence Williams already has Tn sixteen acres of corn and W. H. DeBerry is hard at work planting crop of sixty acres. Ed Crane will also put in a large acre age. These farmers expect the crops to yield even if it should prove impossible, as it probably will, to secure irrigation water. Both the Farmers and Ludy's canals are in ruins below the Sunny side sehoolhouse, and there are so few farmers left in the valley below this point, that it will be difficult to repair the damage before the cool weather in the fafl.-Yuma Enterprise.

Our INGENIOUS President.

A republican statesman from New
York, who aspired to be on the presi-
dents side in the recent senatorship
squabble in the empire state, went to
the White House one day before the
Depew victory was proclaimed to
sound out the president.
"Mr. President" he said, Il am in a
good deaf of a fix over this senatorial
matter. I want to see harmony in the
party and 1 came up to ask you
whether you are Depew or Black
81 am not going to say a word on
that subject" the president replied
vigorously mot a word. I have de-
cided to keep out of the contest and
remain absolutely neutral. 1t is vast
ing time to talk to me about it,
But, Mr. President" said the states
man, II am for Senator Depew, and !
want to see him elected"

dent with the utmost dental empha-
sis. But you never heard me say So"

Rev. DR.. Joseph Silverman has thus
declared himself in a sermon on can
Alliance Between Church and Stage"
After referring to the times when the
drama was directed by the clergy and
their subsequent separation, he said:
THE church then assumed the
wrong position, which it never could
hold. 1 refer to churches as compre
hending all phases of religion. The
church has failed in it's opposition to
the theater, as it always will fail when
theaters never would have succeeded
if they had not satisfied a craving and
longing Of the human SOUL
Mature at it's best is dramatic. Note
the tendency of the innocent child to
pose. There is no better actor than
this same child, with it's wealth of SIM
plicity and innocence.
Il take it that when a play is pro-
duced that the church calls a bad
play the aim of the production is not
to stir up more vice, but to make men,
and perhaps women, appreciate their
own dear secret vices. So the true
purpose of the stage should be to teach
the lesson that vice has been con-
quered and that virtue has been ex-
tolled.
1.-THE church has declared against
the open saloon, the open library, the
open museum on Sunday; even they
would not have us have our Sunday
papers; they would close the saloon.
The poor mans club is good; these are
errors

TREASURE TROVE IN SAND BANK.
$4,000 In Gold Buried by Soldiers of
TayIor's Command, In Creek Bank.

LA Crosse, Wis, March ~
Treasure to the amount of $4,000 is
supposed to be buried on the banks of
the Missippi river between La Crosse
and North McGregor.
The treasure is supposed to have
been buried over half a century ago by
four soldiers in the army of Colonel
Zachary Taylor in the bloody Black
Hawk Indian war. Scores of per-
sons have attempted to find it, but
have never been successful.
One day in 1880 four bags of gold
were received at Fort Mackay, COM
manded by Colonel Taylor, to be used
in the payment of United States SOL
diers on duty at the stockade. The
gold was in coins of large denomina
tions and the total amount of the
consignment reached $4,000.
Colonel Taylor took all possible pains
for it's safe-keeping until such time as
the Indians would again be driven
away. He chose four of his bravest
men, gave each a bag of gold with in
structions to take it to place of safe
keeping. The men started away, but
an Indian attack followed and a few
days later their dead bodies were
found, but no traces of the gold. A
hastily written note was discovered,
however, stating that the gold had
been buried nearby. 1t may remain
in it's hiding place until some farmer
turns it up with his pillow.

NEXT OPPONENT OF JIMMY BRITT
COMES TO AMERICA WITH
GOOD REPUTATION.
Has Fought Sixty Battles and Never
Suffered Defeat-Been at Business
Past Ten Years.

Jabez White the lightweight champ
ion of England, looks like great
fighter he is said to be. He stands
5 feet ~ inches, is well built, has
very long reach and f1ashy blue eyes.
He is modest and one Of the most gen.
tlemanly bruisers that ever came from
Johnny Bulls country to these shores.
He showed his modesty by remark
that he made to a fellow passenger on
the pier after the latter had wished
him good luck in his battle with Britt.
He said he hoped only that the best
man would win, and that he would do
his best to get the verdict
How long have you been fghting?"

Il have been fighting ten years.

have won them all
How many battles do you intend
10 fight in this country?"
I will fight only one. That contest
will he with Jimmy Britt of San Fran
cisco, and 1 will do my best to earn the
decision"
When Charley Mitchell was asked
why Jim Bowker, the English
do fIa
trip, he said:
'Bowker is not coming to this coun-
try His manager, Bettinson, will not
allow him to make the journey. I in
tend to bring over Moran, the English
bantamweight, in a few weeks, provid-
ing Tim O'Rourke wishes me to send
for him.
White, in my opinion, is the greatest
fighter for his weight that has ever
clever, shifty and can punch hard with
either hand and is a great ring gener-
al. He will give Britt a battle that
will surprise Americans"
Everything here seems to be in
rush." White said. You know I like
the American ideas greatly. 1 saw the
advantage of the American style of
fighting several years ago when some
of the Yankees came over to box. 1t
made me more aggressive than 1 was.

1T was the same, you know with

We're a revelation on the English race

riding has been universally adopted.
LAS for fighting, there is only one
man 1 want to fight, and he is Jimmy

and now l want the worlds champion

the weight, referee or any other ques-

 fL1 HERE is one thing in newspa-
 perdom which to the old-time
 prosy, matter-of-f fact mem- bers of the craft of today is something surprising not to say remarkable. Of course we are fully aware that modern newspaper making Is far different from what it was in the former days and that some of the most brilliant men and wo- men of the time are connected with the great journals of the present News papers are also far different from what they were in the time of Greedy, Ray mond, the elder Bennett and Samuel Bowles They are less heavy, but more sparkling. They are not so readable for their rare editorials and labored discus- sions, but contain more graphic sum- mary of the spirit of the times, of the push and vim and rattle of modern life. Not that they are without able editorials, wide range of news dispatches and some credible correspondence; but in general there is a catchy, jaunty, rather frivolous tone to the large parts of most of the great dailies which is readily recognized by most readers. especially by those fa- miliac with newspaper making
 Tt is often a wonder to us how these men like S. E. Riser, Wallace Irwin, j.. w Foley, w. J. Hampton, Frank L.. Stanton and scores of others can coa tinue day after day to grind out-eXcuse the harsh and undignified expression = the yards of verse which they do. We can unders, and how men who love birds and flowers and outdoor life can write column after column on the woodchuck, the burdoclS, the white clover, the purple grackle-that Is easy. But how they can spin so much stuff in verse, in all sorts of measure, upon all sorts of events, in- cidents or subjects. is indeed to us ohe of the things of deep mystery. It be- longs to gen'ds.
 Much of this verse Is very socd verse. There is little of the machine fragrance to it. Even upon the most commor- everyday themes it Is often worth read ing. md no unfrequently contains a lne or two, spontaneous it may naYa been, but at the same time exhibiting some polish which carries the whole poem no, pece-ahcve tn, common In this respect the little verse of Frank Stanton of Atlanta takes high rank, and he often sings very sweetly. Always in the same place in the New York Globe. every day, Wallace Irwin has a double column effu- sion in rhyme which we generally read. Hitting on events of the day-the wealth CT, the summer girl, the Japs history,
