In addition to these are certain busts
which must not be omitted. There is that
translated into marble from the Chan
dos portrait; of this manyreplicas exist.
There is the large marble bust by Au-
gusto Possagiio, of Florence. which Sig
nor Salvini presented to the Garrick
club in 1876; it is interesting as an ex-
ample of Italian realization. 1t is hope
less as such, however, for it represents
a dreamy poet, dangerous and morbid,
with love-sunken cheeks, bashful eyes,
and rosebud mouth, who might perhaps
have written Romeo and Juliet, and even
Hamlet. but who knew no other theme
than love and hate. Far more important
is the famous "Darenant Bust" also be-
longing to the Garrjck club. to which it
was presented by the late duke of Devon

the exposition authorities hear from
Mr.. Miller as to his own preference IN
the matter, but In all probability it

is to have Western Authors Week,
ending in Joaquin Miller Day. Invi-

more than local prominence residing
west Of the Mississippi river, and also
to some writer's in thu east whose
books deal notably with western af-
fairs. A special invitation will be sent
to Edwin Markham, author of 1.-THE

poems, who was born at Oregon City

exposition site.
While it is conceded that this gath

much interest, there being many wri-

particularly along the Pacific coast
there is no doubt that the chief inter-

Murietta. !
George H. Hines, secretary in
charge Of the Oregon Historical soci-
ety's room in the city hall of Portland,
told me the other day that he printed
the first two books published by; Joa-
Quin Miller. Mr.. Hines conducted a
printing establishment at Portland in
the COS, and did the work on contract
for local publisher. The first book
was called Specimens" and was
printed for private circulation amongst
Miller's friends. The second was en-
titled Joaquin ct al.," the leading
poem being sympathetic rendering of
the romance of Joaquin Murietta. This
young man came to California from
Mexico along with the gold rush" of
the early sos, and at the age of 10
elope1 with the beautiful daughter of
a wealthy Mexican rancher. He was
a quiet-mannered youth bent on dig
ging fortune out of the golden hills and
valleys of California. But when he
staked out his claim he was visited by
| 1awleSs Americans, who informed him
that Mexicans were not wanted in CAL
ifornia, and that he must git" One
of the men also spoke disrespectfully
of Murietta's young wife, which the
boy resented. The Americans then
beat the Mexican and OUTRAGED his
wife. =,
Joaquin Murietta became an aven-
ger. Mounting his horse, he collected
his friends and began a career Of out
! lawry that has no counterpart in
American history. For three years
Joaquin and his band rode up and
down the mountains and through the
valleys Of California, Staying and pill
Laying. 1t is said that no less than
600 men were killed by him and his
bandit followers or as a result of his
uprising. Finally the state of Califor-
MIA appointed Capt. Harry Love, vet
! gran Of the Mexican war, to lead an
expedition Of soldiers against the Mex
lean bandits, and Murietta and his I'M
mediate followers were slain in a
fierce battle. Joaquin's head was cut
on and served as a gruesome exhibit
at San Francisco for many years.

Joaquin was published, the jeople Of

No claim has heretofore been made that Yuma valley soil or climate was especially adapted to the raising of Indian corn or maize, but we maize well acknowledge the corn now as any other time. Fair Commissioner Town send has collected as a part of the Yuma county exhibit fer the Terri torial Fair few samples that will compare favorably with the product of the corn-growing states-any of them. The corn is lnshucked and on the stalks, which are at least twelve feet high. The ears are we'll filled and the grains are perfect.

No one not having vicious turn of mind has ever believed that the vener- able Judge of the Probate Court of this county, P. c. Robertson, embedded any of the moneys belonging to the county or to any one else, but the "Ex- perts" who were employed to investi- gate the county's financial records had to make showing of some kind; and without asking Judge Robertson to ex- plain, or even giving him an opportuni- ty to explain any irregularities or dis crepancics in his books or accounts, reported, with a grand flourish of trumpets, that Judge Robertson was short several hundred dollars of the public funds.

To Phoenix and Return,
 SO.O5.

On account of the Territorial Fair at Phoenix the Southern Pacific Company makes the very low rate of S6.05 for the round trip. The sale dates are De- cember 22nd to 27th; return limit, Jan uary 2nd, 1906.
 The railroad company having done the handsome thing, it is now up to our people, or as many as can do so, to take advantage of the low rate and attend Arizona's first fair, at the capital De- cember 9 to 30. Besides attractive exhibits from every county, the racing will be by far the best ever seen on an Arizona track. Everything is in read mess and the management expects, and with good reason, very large attend ance. We hope to see Yuma county as largely represented at the Fair as any county in territory As matter of pride in our great territory, let us boost the Fair.

To the Public:
 The time is now very short in which to complete and enter the Yuma coun- ty exhibit at the Territorial Fair, and I would ask that those who have prod ucts or articles worthy of a place at the Fair leave the same at my office not later than o'clock Saturday after noon, December p, and I will see that they are shipped to Phoenix, entered and placed on exhibition. have been promised great many articles for this exhibit, and have a few good ones, but not enough to make proper showing of the wonderful resources of this great county. In an agricultural way Yuma county ought to be able to carry off good premiums on almost everything that grows, and hope that as matter of pride the valley farmers and fruit raisers will come at once to the front with specimens of their best so that we can yet make good showing.
 The time is now so limited that what is done must be done quickly. The Fair opens next Monday, the 25th.
 Remember, get in your exhibits not later than 4 o'clock next Saturday after noon. O. F. TOWNSEND,

LAGUNA DAM
 NOT IN DANGER

The intimation that the Laguna dam could possibly be affected by the deepening of the river channel, as set forth in the Imperial Press and copied in local papers, is rot, pure and simple. The increased velocity of the stream caused by the river changing its chan nel, will naturally cut the channel some deeper above the intake, but that the cutting process will reach to the dam twelve miles above Yuma so as to affect the same is not within the possibilities. Our authority for this statement is the engineers of the recla- nation service, which cannot be ques- tiOned
